[Medical] Better
Jan. 11th, 2009 03:33 pmI am feeling a million times better than I have been. The combination of drugs is working.
I'm still pretty tired, and I'm having a few fibro issues (some allodynia and restless legs type stuff) but those will settle down with some rest and physical activity.
I'm no longer coughing much at all, though I'm still wheezing a bit. And the candida infection is retreating. Some of the weird digestive issues I've been having for ages have improved as well, which makes me wonder if I had candida overgrowth elsewhere in my digestive tract.
The weirdest thing? I've actually been feeling hungry for the first time in *months*. I lost my appetite ages ago, and have been eating only because I'm really good at making myself eat on schedule (and hence haven't lost weight, which is a good thing). It almost feels weird to be hungry again. Though it's kind of weird - I get this extreme OMG must eat NOW hunger, and then I get full really quickly. My stomach is weird. Next challenge is to normalise my diet again, and maybe seriously think about the anti-candida diet (or one of the million or so variations thereof).
