mush for brains

No great insights today, as it was mostly spent running around and trying not to freeze. It was rainy and cold again today, but I still had to do the errands I had put off all weekend. DH worked his first 8 to 8 shift, and we all survived.

Today is day 2 of taking only 2 pantothenic acids, and now my hands are feeling a bit stiff. I'll give it to the end of the week to see how it goes.

I'm also starting a new minocycline regimen: M-W-F, once a day in the morning. This is the typical dosage recommended, so we'll see if it works.

I ate terribly today -- too much running around, and no energy to cook. My piriformis was really killing me, too; I used both the heat pack and ibuprofen today to try to get it to relax. I had that freezing butt feeling, too! I'm fairly convinced that these symptoms, along with my generally being freezing all the time and overall spaced-out feeling, come from being under-medicated, thyroid-wise. I guess it will be a few more weeks before they have me in to tap a vein and take a look at my levels.

I'm hoping that the news from my skin biopsies will be OK. I'm thinking I've earned at least a 6-month reprieve from health nonsense.
