Things continue to go along. I am definitely doing better with less vitamin D, although I still find that I have to stop doing things I'd like to do and rest by playing video games or I start getting really anxious. Even little things, like reading, are sometimes too much. It is hard to tell if I'm doing worse or if I'm just doing poorly in a ( Read more... )

I survived surgery on my gums! The surgery got boring by the end, but it honestly wasn't bad. The bad part is the first few days. The grafted skin takes some time to attach itself, and the process isn't pleasant. However, it seems to be healing now, so I feel less awful. However, my food, which keeps me sane, is being used by my body for something ( Read more... )

I'm feeling not right. I'm not exactly sure what the hell is going on, but I feel... not right. We'll see if it settles down or if I need to do something. I've been having a hard time with food recently. I forgot to drink kefir a couple of times, which screwed up my carbs a lot. So, that could be the reason. Hopefully, I'll feel better tomorrow.

I had been going along for a while now with more anxiety that I would generally like. It took forever to get anything done, because I was unable to do anything without completely freaking out. I don't actually have a lot of tasks to do, but preparing and cooking food is still a lot of work. That, obviously, sucked. Finally, yesterday, I decided to ( Read more... )

I stress when people don't understand that I'm ill. I try to talk about it so that people know what's going on with me, but there is honestly only so much that I feel like talking about. I'm not going to tell everyone each time my knees buckle or every time my blood sugar is a little weird. That's part of my normal life, and not only is it not ( Read more... )

So, I made the mistake of pressuring my brain to work harder on Russian. Then, I couldn't talk at all, and I had all kinds of metabolic and cogntive problems. Beyond the first day, they may or may not have been related. It did take me six months to recover from school, but that was more long-term damage. Anyway, I'm going back to not putting too ( Read more... )

We've had some nice times seeing friends recently, and I've worked on my databases. Joel got one of his favorite games, Zombie Smashers, working on his computer and has been happily smashing zombies. I still have times of anxiety and times when I can't function or have an anxiety attack for a stupid reason. However, that is the way things are. On ( Read more... )

I have been doing pretty well. My stomach has been sensitive and sometimes quite painful, but I think it is getting better. However, about two hours ago, I read a message from the former head of the sick Peace Corps volunteers group, and she seemed to be saying that she is interested in getting back involved again. Honestly, I expected this. She is ( Read more... )

After feeling amazingly terrible, my psychologist encouraged me to increase my protein. That wasn't solving everything, so I decreased my carbs. That helped. So, it seems that I overshot the mark during all my carb increases. This is very usual, so I'm not surprised. So far, the results look like ( Read more... )

I'm still having trouble standing (knees buckling), decreased creativity/functionality, walking (mechanical movements and balance problems), strange eating patterns (being really full from a set of meals and then a few days later being starving from the same food), coping, reading, etc. We know my vision is screwed up, which could theoretically ( Read more... )
