I live! Sort of... The medication I need to be on to keep my lungs clear has an interaction with my IBS and *hand waves* I've got brain fog like I've got uncontrolled IBS for now. It took me a while to even realize that's what was going on and it's happened before, so that's how unorganized my brain is. I am trying to get shit done anyway.

Because the universe hates me, this week is the event at Bold Coffee for indie authors to network and also chat with publishers. Unless I magically get much better, I can't go. Either I will have brain fog from hell or I'll have lung congestion. Those are my choices. Also, this month I, uh, haven't exactly met my writing goals. I fucking hate this.

I am going to be getting caught up here in a very uneven way, sorry for that.

That is all miserable! I'm sorry. Not a fun choice to make, and just all around yuck.

I've stopped taking the medication and should have a lot sooner. I can take a few doses, but after that the side effects are too much

[mistressofmuses]

It's so unfair that the side effects of a medication can be worse than what the med is helping with!

That is my entire life! I can't take most oral medications at all, between dyes and IBS. So also when I wan sick, I seem sicker than I am because I can't take decongestants. So like being in public is awkward.

Not being able to even do symptom management sucks a lot. :/

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks, I really hope I do
