Too much information
I started to feel better and did not put it on the blog, because I don't want to blog all my life sometimes. Now I feel worse, and feel that I should not blog only negative stuff. I hate dilemmas.
To sum up the week: The job is cool, and I hope I can keep doing it. As much as I enjoy the work, I feel like shit in the evenings. And some symptoms came back, that worry me.
At the same time I feel some reflexes working again. An easy way for me to test my condition myself from time to time, and a clear sign that things might be changing for a better.
Tomorrow is a new checkup - new medication.
I just tried to inquire a bit on the new drug. Funny result:
1) Wiki sucks, as it is not giving the information I was looking for. At least the list of side effects is clearly shorter. Yawning is one of them.
2) the webforum for patients with my illness sucks as well. The patients writing there had a disagreement online on if the new drug makes them feel rather sleepy or awaken.
3) Tristan is a bigger help, as he is not only a friend but also a medical doctor. However, he said the new drug was "neutral" on the sleepiness-issue. Maybe he should ad his knowledge to the online discussion.
4) Last but not least I lost the patient information leaflet, that my doc printed out for me, so that I could think about the new treatment, before giving my agreement. I remember her telling me at the same time to stay away from Wikipedia and the webforum, as it might confuse me with too much irrelevant information - ups!
