I live.

I simply do not communicate. I mean, I do, but... just some swirly days, folks. I've missed coming here. My communication has been limited to Facebook (where I rarely use the message feature nor do I keep my 'chat' on). Emails are climbing in number and sometimes I just delete pages at a time. The main reason for my absence was that I'd started a new med (for a sleep disorder) and the side effects were too much to handle. I had to try to push past it, and then the bitch of it was, you can't just quit the med, I had to continue taking it for another week and a half even after it tried to cook me. No really, it did ~ it fucked with my endocrine system and I was overheating. Bad news, this drug. So I'm officially OFF those little bitches. It will still take some time to get rid of side effects as it is meant to stay in your system for a long time, but most of the mental clouding and confusion is gone. What's left is just all me. ;) It's been a really rough 5 weeks. And you just don't get a break, it's IN you. Hmmm. Kind of like ALIEN. Just smaller and white. And more evil.

So. Now that I can actually open the heating vents in my room without fear of triggering the inability to exchange oxygen, life seems better. Although life still goes on and it has me with my hands full. Hopefully when I browse around blogland I can catch up at least a little.

Effen meds! I am glad to see you back I have also been somewhat absent from my blogging and FB was also an issue but FB lacks a heart and the blogs have both a heart and soul.
peace n peices

I MISSED YOU GUYS!!! =)

Kate - Lol, the answer is 'no' but it is something you just learn to live with. Makes it easier.

GD - You know, gills would have been magnificent. Oddly, it did feel like what you would imagine trying to breathe underwater would be like.

Anonant - This med is known to have ALOT of side effects but I'd tried it a few years back and tolerated it well... on a teeny dose. Didn't know I'd get into the 'Serious call your doc you might need to be hospitalized' effects at a higher dose. FB is good for certain things but it lacks everything that keeps me here. It was just all I was able and willing to put out - so for that it worked.
