Week 58 + Doctor's Visit

 Honestly, things are not really going well. My energy levels and general health have tanked, as bad as they've been during this whole illness. Part of me wonders what happened but most of me is just going to advice I've gotten from both my mom and my wife - I can't feel any way but how I feel.

 So, I'm working on acceptance. It's hard because I've got things I'd like to do... not big things either. Go to work part time. Play 40K with the teen... who is now an adult technically. (Still a teen... no need to grow up too soon. I'll let everyone know if I ever do. :) ). Still, this is my reality today. Rest and I'll feel better.

 Saw the doctor this morning... regular every-other-month check up. I've lost a little weight. My blood pressure is actually really good (that might have had something to do with nodding off in the chair while they were taking it). We officially have a new working diagnosis - Post-COVID. The symptomology matches up and this did all start as a respiratory infection. Sadly, nothing really to test for... we go by symptoms. Also nothing really to treat. Epstien Barr, Chronic Fatigue, Post-COVID... by whatever name, it still sucks. 

 Onward

Hey, it's me... This week was better. Saw the new doctor early in the week about my jaw. He diagnosed TMJ and gave me some jaw exercises...
