Came down from the high a few days ago. Alas. Back to my grumpy, fearful self. Ah well.
Rash is itchy on and off – just a little. Appetite still with me, no nausea. Still craving foods I probably shouldn’t have. Despite the multiple indulgences, I’m doing OK bowel-wise. The pain seems to have lessened somewhat in the ilium. I swing between small, solid stools to almost diarrhea. Sometimes it starts out solid and is diarrhea by the end of the 3rd bowel movement. I’m still going about 2-3 times in the morning, then mucus squirts in the afternoon – this is still increased, so obviously there is ongoing rectal inflammation. I wonder at times if I should use enemas.
I caught the cold, just a little. Slight sore throat, runny nose. Might be why I’ve been extra tired. The bone-settling fatigue has lifted somewhat – I had a good afternoon of energy 2 days ago, aided by much black tea, but I got a lot of physical work done, which was needed.
All in all, no great miracles. Happiness is past. I’ve entered the dark side of the month, which is the last 10 days before my period. Hoping I don’t get a bout of insomnia and anxiety again – we’ll see how the worms prevent this. My husband will be out of town too, which is miserable timing.
I wait and hope. May do an egg count in a week to see if the new worms are stimulating the mature ones. Should do a blood test as well. Sigh. We’ll see what the next week brings…
