Wow, has this month flown by, welcoming me back in to the fray of the "real world". Flagyl and I are not friends. The side effects were completely awful, my favorite being cystic acne. There was the nausea, the metallic taste ever present on my palate and just plain ick. But it is over, for now anyway. I am back on doxy *whew*.
I have been working at a part time job which has me on my feet from 6 to 9 hours per shift, of which they have been kind enough to give me 5 per week. You do the math. Only 2 more weeks of that and I should be back to 3 shifts per week, or I will transfer to seasonal status and find something else not quite as stressful. Classes start in 2 weeks as well, which should be an interesting adventure given all of the memory issues I have been experiencing.
All in all, I am improving as is my quality of life. I just do not have the time or energy left to put it to good use or appreciate it much because of my current schedule. My sleep is great, normal even. That right there is a huge help. I have lost 8 lbs this past month and if I can continue to lose more that will be a tremendous help. It does appear we are on the right track with treatments. I have a few new supplements to add to my regimen which should ease the damage done by the flagyl. Maybe in the next month I can add a gentle exercise routine and clean up my diet (again). There is hope.
