After five doses, I had to stop the Nitrofurantoin because it was affecting my lungs. I woke up with my lungs tight and was coughing and had a little congestion which didn’t seem normal for me. ...

Having less burning since beginning the antibiotics but still feel oddly chilled at times and definitely tired. I hope the part where I feel cold isn’t because I’m getting hypo again. My weight ...
March 15th, 2024
It has been confirmed that I do indeed have a UTI. I figured something was going on with all that burning. I mean I was using the Replens and was fine for a while until I got sick. So I ended up...

Here’s a transcription from one of my Swellcasts. Of course I’ve had to edit a little bit here and there. Yesterday was a good day that turned very frustrating in the end and I mean VERY frustr...
March 13th, 2024
Yay, I’m not as tired as I was yesterday. Despite being tired yesterday, we ran out to Publix for a few things in the morning. I’m trying Chi-Chi’s mudslide alcohol cocktail and it tastes simila...

I’m glad I decided to allow comments again. Not just because I feel cut off from friends I’ve made that I’ve known for a while and never had any problems with but because I decided that’s it, I’...

Quite some time ago, although it was while we were here in Florida, I downloaded an app called Swell where you leave audios discussing whatever you want to talk about. But then I got bored with ...

If you think whites are “privileged” you’re deluding yourself. It’s just that I keep hearing the term and I assure you we have to play by the same rules as everyone else. We’re no more or less s...

When I look at the comments on some of the IVF articles it amazes me how more and more people are anti-abortion and just how conservative this country is getting. When I asked myself who I woul...
March 8th, 2024
Didn’t realize this until a little while ago but Christiane “laughed” at my concerns about the dream I had about Nane and then blocked me. Should have figured that sooner or later she would do t...
March 6th, 2024
Feeling the best I’ve felt since I first got sick although I still have fatigue. It’s hard to say whether the fatigue is post-recovery or just the way I usually am. I still think my TSH has rise...
March 5th, 2024
Woke up very tired today and tried to tell myself it was no big deal, I expected it, and yesterday’s energy was something I had just once in a while. But it is a big deal and it does bother me. ...
March 4th, 2024
I can’t swear to it but the fucking honker might have woken me up on the motorcycle. I checked Fitbit and it said I was awake for 14 minutes between 7:03 a.m. and 7:17 a.m. Tom says our camera d...
March 3rd, 2024
Just when I thought it was over, things got bad again. I didn’t get sick but I had the worst acid reflux I’ve ever had in my life last night. My throat didn’t just burn but it hurt like hell! I ...
March 2nd, 2024
It’s over!!! Yay!!! No nausea. No acid reflux. I can even cough once again because my stomach muscles are no longer so sore. My voice is still a little hoarse but slowly returning. The only thin...
March 1st, 2024
Still sick. Slept shitty all through the night. Woke up a lot with mild nausea and acid reflux and then had the runs when I got up. Took the Pepto and the anti-nausea pills. I haven’t thrown up ...
February 29th, 2024
You know that nausea I mentioned feeling when I wrote my last entry? Well, it turned out to be the start of a 16-hour-long hell ride through norovirus. It was absolutely horrible! I haven’t puke...
February 28th, 2024
Woke up nauseous and I’m not sure why. My only guess is that I’m overdoing the magnesium again but that doesn’t usually make me nauseous. Instead, I usually get the runs. I thought I was going t...

Got the nasal dilators and believe it or not, the smallest size fits my child’s size nose. Hopefully, this will help keep me breathing easier in my sleep and will be a cheaper alternative to buy...
February 26th, 2024
My blood pressure is back up (especially the systolic in the 140s). As Tom reminded me, they do give you medicine for a reason, LOL. The stuff definitely works! But my nose is slightly clearer… ...
February 25th, 2024
Because of the long nap I took yesterday, I only needed to sleep a little over 5 hours. This is the most refreshed I’ve woken up in days, too. My nose is still stuffy but I’m gonna give it unti...
February 24th, 2024
Right now I’m both pissed and stressed out. Woke up exhausted again and then ended up napping later on not for 1 hour, not for 2 hours, but for 3 fucking hours! So that’s going to screw up my sc...
February 23rd, 2024
So Tom thinks you should be able to move to another country. This is when I asked him what he thought of the immigration situation which I do not support. He has a point but I think there should...
February 23rd, 2024
I gotta start inserting some of ChatGPT’s responses to some of these journal entries of mine because they’re just too funny. It sounds like you’re reflecting on various events and observations ...
February 22nd, 2024
Yesterday I was tired and managed to perk up a few hours later. So far, nothing’s helping me perk up today. I was up a long time and I’ve been sleeping shitty, as usual, waking up a lot. Maybe h...
