That sounds sooooooo good
Just went to the OPD and came back with meds. This flu that's doing its rounds really got me this time

I'd send you some if I could, it wouldn't cure your flu but it would at least be tastier than medsEnchanteddil wrote: ↑February 7th, 2024, 5:54:43 am That sounds sooooooo good

Hopefully you'll get through this too! Getting a personal, firsthand example of Murphy's Law sucks, speaking from experience.wystearya wrote: ↑February 8th, 2024, 11:27:17 am In a low mood today. I guess I shouldn't be, but I am.
I have various medical issues and doctors are no help. I need to find a doctor that will listen, but I am not in the mood and probably won't even bother to look for months. I get this way sometimes, and I know it's not good, but I have to let myself get through my mental blocks. I think I may have Lupus, because I have symptoms that seem like they could match. I am having a flare of skin rashes, I get them from time to time, and the last dermatologist I saw was awful. He made a disparaging comment about 'it's always women' and just put me on prednisone. Diagnosis: Discoid Eczema = round rashes... WOW so helpful! No... It was no help at all and I had to wean myself off the prednisone, as it made me sick and that is how you are supposed to stop, slowly. He didn't tell me that, I happened to find out online. I could have had serious issues if I just stopped the round of medicine as he prescribed.
I also have high cholesterol (inherited) and my general practitioner put me on a fairly high dose of statins. Some months in, I started to get dizzy, and when you look up the side effects, dizziness is the top one. Well, my doctor 'didn't think it could be the statins, but come in to see me". Um, no. I did message (there is a patient portal for messages) that I felt dismissed, and I had even said that I understood it may not be the statins, but I wanted to just try something else. I know there are some other medications you can take for it. Needless to say, I didn't bother to go in to the doctor. I DID end up cutting way back on my medication, and SHOCKER, I am no longer having dizzy spells. I plan to go to a pharmacy to check my lipid panel (cholesterol levels) and see how I am doing. But I really shouldn't have to do this without a doctor.
I had some mental therapy last year, and I have PTSD and Anxiety. (Childhood trauma related.) And the therapy helped, but the anixeity and PTSD won't ever go away. Not that I thought it would, it's just hard some days. It always will be sometimes.
Sorry for the rant/vent, but I felt like this had to go somewhere.
I do hope everyone is ok and we all get through our tough times.
Hate to welcome you to the "experienced Murphy's Law firsthand" club, but I'm here after last year too. Hopefully you'll also get through this.LittleMaple wrote: ↑February 8th, 2024, 8:14:31 pm Bad day. My girlfriend got into an accident (not her fault she was riding passenger) and now she's scared to drive and she almost gagged when her dad tried to serve her spaghetti because it smelled like the burnt air bag. And now I think she's upset at me. I'm so worried about her. I just hate it so much. I hate I couldn't protect her. I hate that it happened. I hate that she's scared now. I hate that she got hurt. I hate thst she'll probably have trauma for the rest of her life now. I'm so drained. Still working on my cosplay but the con is Saturday idk if I'll get done in time. I'm just feeling like shit and I need a hug
That looks yum yum
