Welcome to my life!

I know I said I would put more photos up but I am slack and my head hurts, what can I do?! LOL

Just wanted to pop in and say hi, let you know I am still alive, just laying low right now. Not much is happening here, just plodding along, as you do. I am still pretty tired but it is getting a bit better every day but still have all the other great side effects. One bonus of the Diamox is I have lost 6kg in 32 days so can't complain about that! Mind you, given the fact that I am not eating hardly at all it is to be expected I guess.

Another side effect of all the ups and downs of the whole thing is how friendships have changed. I am feeling really isolated right now because I have very little contact with the real world, outside of doctors and immediate family. I pretty much haven't heard from any of my old friends since it all started and most of my acquaintances, except a couple, don't know that anything is wrong so I am in a weird place with no one to talk to who is an "outsider" and who doesn't have to deal with the daily grind of it. And then out of nowhere I reconnected with my ex-best friend, who I haven't spoken to for 3 years, she came over for coffee on Saturday and it was so nice to have someone different to talk to. It's exactly what I needed and made me feel a little more human and in touch with the outside world! It's funny how life works like that some times huh?!

Anyways, not much else tonight. I have wicked "whooshing" in my ears today, a symptom of the BIH, and this terrific headache so am off to sleep before my next lot of meds!
