Try and error

Try and error seems to be the strategy in my treatment I feel sometimes. I mentioned the reappearance of the symptoms to my doc on Monday. He reconsidered his decision immediately and so we are now back on the old higher dose. I feel better, but still pretty worse than two weeks ago. It feels like I was thrown back months in my healing. It will be over but I feel annoyed.
"This is not a backlash!" the doc insisted. This is exactly what I would call it though, and I did not reproach him anything. Ok, maybe he should not have said: "The fact that now you are feeling worse is good, because now at least it has become obvious that the medication works!"
Hello?!? Hadn't I told him one week ago that I was feeling marvellous? - what lead him to the idea of bringing down the dose?

Let's see the positive: I feel good most time of the day, but after three-ish in the afternoon it goes down, down, down. That saves at least half of my day.

Why am I writing about my illness anyway? I wanted to write about other things. Fortunately unfortunately currently their is not much more to say about my life. also the job is rather uneventful.

I could write about world politics actually, given that I am reading four newspapers with my full commitment every day. I am sorry to say this, but there is absolutely nothing new neither in the Middle East nor in South Asia. Too many people have learned out there to deal with decade old conflicts rather than to accept the inponderability of conciliation.
I don't want to be cynical here hence I stop writing.
