It has only been four days since I got started on my new Thyroid and Diabetes medication regime. Yes my friends, as of last week, I am officially diabetic, more than likely caused by my thyroid issues.
Let that sink in for a bit.
Not only is it time consuming, confusing (because of the times/schedules + number of pills), but it has also been draining on my system.
The heat in Los Angeles, even in my usual cooler-than-the-rest of Los Angeles neighborhood, has also been affecting my body. Not only am I weak, dizzy, and plain uncomfortable because of my new meds, the heat exasperates it all.
I'm miserable and not myself. The few brain cells that are functioning are devoted to work and school. Everything else, unfortunately even this blog, is falling to the wayside - for now.
According to a friend that has been undergoing a similar medical treatment, my side-effects should subside in 10-14 days. The heat in Los Angeles should also drop in a few days. At least, that is our hope. So by the end of the month, or at least that is the hope, I should be my usual self.
For now, I am miserable, weak, running to the bathroom every few minutes, and sweating like a hog in heat.
It's not a pretty picture, but it is a picture of me trying to get better.
Send me good jujus - I need them.
