Hi.
I got my full hour of cardio in today, since I didn't do a very good job with it yesterday... so, tomorrow I will do my full body weight regime. And on Wednesday the chart will start again! :)
I applied to three more jobs today... Aunt Ruth, you are right, I am much happier when I have a job to do. I should do some art stuff as well.
My doctor has suggested that I retry taking a drug called Elmiron for my interstitial cystitis. This IC has been very frustrating lately, mimicking the symptoms of a bad UTI full time! Last time I tried Elmiron I had a lot of GI symptoms going on simultaneously, and the combo was ugly... but now that my IBS seems to be tempered down, I am going to try Elmiron again.
The thing about Elmiron is that it lists hair loss as one of the most common symptoms. I really love my hair and it is really long! If it fell out it would take years and years to grow back. I know Amy dealt with hair loss as part of her brave fight against breast cancer, and the responsible thing to do is to go ahead and deal with the disease instead of worrying about vanity. Still I am worried. :(
Also my prescription for Eluvil has been increased... still a very low dosage though. It comes with side effects of irritability and anger, which I have been feeling. I am normally not an angry person. I don't like to lash out at people. Hopefully if I take this (and the Elmiron) at the same exact time each day - the same time I take my BC - then the irritability fades.
Sigh. It sucks to be sick. At least I am getting thinner, and soon I will hopefully have a job.
