Spoke Too Soon
This morning I wrote about recovering from a painful week of lousy health... I think I spoke too soon...
I had slept all afternoon which is very much a typical day for me. I really need to lay down for a few hours everyday. This is pretty much a requirement for survival. When I avoid that daily nap, my health quickly deteriorates. So, I slept most of the afternoon but, when I awoke, I wasn't feeling "right".
I don't know what it was, but something just didn't feel right. I took my dinnertime dose of medications and we started on dinner. I wasn't hungry in the least though and was feeling generally lousy. Within minutes after dinner I found myself back in the bathroom with worsening health again.
I had some relatively minor dizziness, nausea, cramping, weakness, and my legs were not cooperating. This quickly deteriorated into some typical Systemic Mastocytosis lower GI problems including its unique brand of diarrhea. Oh, it has been a fun week.
When things settled down, I took some additional medications for these types of gastrointestinal problems. I spent some time in the bathroom again and now I am feeling fairly stable again. Although, as I sit here in our quiet bedroom, my lower GI tract is still gurgling away...
Anyway, I had thought I was on the mend and I was looking forward to a productive weekend. Now... I'm not so sure about the weekend.
I just might continue my social life as a reclusive hermit...
