Irony.

Soooooo.... It was mono, but I'm feeling alot better. Just a bit tired, here and there, but some light excercise should help out with that a bit methinks.

However, during my bout with mono, I did some research on weed. At first it was to determine if I could smoke a bowl while I have mono, or if that would be bad for me. I was specifically concerned if weed was an immunosuppressant, and could make my infection worse. It's not (although some research suggests weed can change the immune response to certain cancers), however, the act of smoking weed can damage the cell walls of the nose and throat, making it easier for pathogens like flu and cold virus to enter the body and begin an infection.

So my bad winter of health problems is because I smoked too much.

Huh.

The good news is I can bake more and use the vapourizer and still be fine, relatively speaking. However, I may cut back a little bit, just to be on the safe side.
