One thing or another
I do feel better in some ways. I am thankful for that but now I'm jittery and have a headache. I don't know maybe it is unrelated. Or it could be a side effect. We'll see. I have been reading some and so with this headache I am going to get off the computer. I hope you all are well. There are so...

I am up in the middle of the night unable to sleep. I am not even tired. That is so rare I wonder if the infusions have anything to do with it. I have felt like I have more energy. I was a high energy person before I got sick. Didn't sleep much didn't need to. Was always on the go. I would love to...

Bad day
I did pretty well this weekend until this morning. I woke up in so much pain I could hardly walk to let my dogs out. I toke a tramedal that did nothing I had to resort to narcotics. After about an hour I started to feel a little relief. I got my notebook and started rewriting some of my stories. How...
