Th dry heaving is on point today.

My GI tract and kidneys after the hell that is diamox:

Stress watching Santa Clarita Diet because it’s me.

1. Doubling my diamox dose.

2. My house is, predictably, a hot mess after working 7 days in a row.

3. Just found out work is going to call me, apparently about a policy, we don’t know which one but I’ve been out of that role for almost 2 years now so fuck me. Day off was already not great but this immediately made me so anxious I got nauseous.

4. I’m just stressed about and frustrated over everything right now.

I extended hell week by one day in a moment of insanity yesterday, but the devil you know, you know?

Work is making me acutely unwell.

Day five of hell week and it has truly started out on a sour note. I was having the more tame diamox side effects (paresthesias, shortness of breath, acid reflux) but the true GI upset started yesterday afternoon and persisted into the night.

Day three of hell week.

At work for meetings that are making me suicidal/ homicidal.

Day one of hell week.

Overslept so I had a packaged protein shake for breakfast, but I did carve out time to do my entire face routine this morning. Maybe it’s psychosomatic but it *did* make me feel better. Do wish I had gotten up on time to work out, but I’ll do that after work I guess.

Someone put this in as a tag so I’m adding it to the actual post: this works well with other doctors as well. “Oh well my neurologist thought this” or “my PCP recommended I come get xyz checked out”.

*my* two cents is, if you have a BMI over 24, also framing things like you’re trying to lose weight. “Oh maybe I should see this doctor for help with my diet”. And then go off the rails.

This ABSOLUTELY works.

I have used this for many years. Definitely b do it.

Not me in denial that I have to leave for work in 15 minutes.

I feel like crap.

They did just that!

God I kinda wish this LP had just… taken me out and gotten it over with.

Walking around like a little Bambi because my back hurts so bad my legs are wobbly. Also, headache.

I called my doctors office but I don’t know why, because they’re just going to tell me to drink more caffeine and take more Tylenol.

I’m so dehydrated from crying that even just thinking about crying makes me nauseous. Must drink liquid IV so more tears can be formed.

My NO is on vacation for two weeks so while I was told “23 is not high enough for this to be caused by IIH” (which is not entirely true), they will not answer any questions about the abnormal blood and CSF fluid results.
