March 4th 2015

I started my day with coffee with the girls.

Not much happening on line, 

so after lunch when I couldn't keep my eyes open

I decided a quick nap 

would be a good idea

before Wednesday night Cadets.

I woke up 2 hours later.

The joy of having Crohns.

I am in a feeling sorry for myself mood right now.

It is not enough that I have a disease

that causes my own immune system to attack itself,

be allergic to the medications to help,

have doctors "ignore" symptoms 

as soon as they hear the name of the disease,

lost count of my surgeries,

have a specialist with a gestapo trained nurse,

lost count of the test drugs,

have a family doctor 

who believes the answer 

to everything is marijuana,

and be on an immune surpressing infusion therapy...

I go get a kidney infection too!

(after a wonderful trip emergency in London)

side note: 

I went in to emergency

with them knowing I was immune compromised 

and it still took 7 hours to assess {IN RAPID ASSESSMENT}

an infection that they could have read 

on the urine test taken at 1 hour after arriving!

I am now taking medications 

that are supposed to be fixing that.

In conjunction with everything else,

I felt icky tonight.

So off I went to discuss my symptoms

with the local pharmacist.

According to her and her computer

these "helpful" medications

can cause - are you ready for this? -

extreme sleepiness 
headaches
runny eyes

sinus infections

sore throat

general feeling of unwell

and may or may not end the kidney pain!

Oh! and I can't take a decongestant to help.

Naturally I am experiencing all of the above.

Holy crap the fix is often 

worse than the symptoms.

My fix.

This was a delicious way to destress.

The 100g bar was on sale at Shopper's for $2.09.

I shoulda bought 2!!!!!!!!

oh well, another day starts in 10 minutes!

Good night from John Street.
