More drugs stuff

greenstormIn the whole PMDD and disability paperwork mess (I got rejected because the gov says their notes suggest that with treatment I should be able to return to work! Nice of them to I guess know what I have without telling me?) I forgot that I'd asked my doctor for stomach meds. One is a proton pump inhibitor, which I'd had before (and felt truly not-nauseous on, which was impressive) and one is a smooth-muscle relaxer. The latter I think she gave me because it's used for galbladder attacks but from what I can tell my gallbladder is normal (they did an ultrasound which I can finally access online) but! it super reduces a lot of my gut pain and other weird stuff in there. Things still *feel* weird but they're just much more livable... if I reduce the dose substantially from what she gave me.
So that's all very interesting and maybe means something. It's funny, having been with Angus for those years, now I feel like I have a weird malevolent thing living in my guts too.
Got my covid/flu/vit B shots all in the same day. Spending a couple days sleeping to recover, and my watch that measures things says I'm using as much energy as if I were ultra stressing and/or standing on one foot bouncing gently the whole time.
STILL dealing with ghosts of PMDD, which flare up with any outside world contact. I really would just like to crawl into a hole for long enough to forget the outside world exists, especially with no garden to distract me. People are impossible. And have my gyne appointment today. Oh well.
Seems like in Canada we can get private hormonal-competent gyne care for $300/appointment plus med costs if we don't want to wait in line for six months to a year. Unsurprisingly, people on fb groups for this stuff rely heavily on chatGPT for medical advice. What a fucking mess.
