So, basically just dropped out of everything due to not feeling well/not being able to maintain concentration on anything due to chronic pain. I’ve had problems since I got covid in November ’20. 9.9 That was minor compared to when I got it again in August last year. I did have long covid, and why yes, I got vaccinated, but that’s not part of this. When I got it in August, I didn’t think about having it until it was over because brain fog was just enough to not be noticeable. But, oh yay, I know what happened. I got severe weakness in my legs, especially my left leg to a point that I fell down a couple of times and it was VERY HARD TO GET BACK UP. I also had severe edema (swelling) and nerve pain in my left leg from my knee up. I could not sleep right. I could not walk. It was constant. I started taking Advil often, always keeping below the daily limit, sometimes with Tylenol. I’m afraid of Tylenol because it can cause liver damage. 😛

So, oh yeah, I know why I got an ulcer. I was finally getting down to needing LESS to zero advil in December, FIVE months after I got sick. The irritating nerve sensitivity is mostly faded. Actually, right now, that’s not bothering me at all and I’m slowly regaining strength. No, now I have the most awful burning sensation and times when I can’t even sit properly and I’ve been dealing with it and trying to get things done and just so frustrated that I can’t concentrate on anything longer than an hour, if that. It is getting better, but it’s slow. I am working on the Campus Safari update for next week and hope to get it done. At least I’m down another ten pounds. Eating the wrong thing really sets your eating habits into a new course. No soda, at all. No fast food. Nothing fried, nothing spicy, no onions, garlic, food with flavor. – Tiff
