Time is whizzing by, I can’t believe its been so long since I last posted! It’s been more of the same for me I’m afraid. I’m still struggling to deal with the gastroparesis since coming off those pills. The only good thing is my pulse is still much more normal, so it seems obvious those pills are what caused it. I’ve found that drinking apple juice, although loaded with sugar (bad!) seems to help get things moving (good!) along with, wait for it… some amateur belly dancing and hoola hooping but without the hoop lol A few hip rolls for a minute seems to help. I just have to be careful I don’t sublux anything in the process!

Another downside to it all seems to be the 6 pounds of weight I’ve packed on pretty much overnight when I’d only just lost it. The slowing down of my digestive system certainly doesn’t help, I now look permanently 5 months pregnant, *wail*

I also recently had a week where I’ve been so tired and so lethargic and could not muster up any energy to do anything. Bad timing when I’m on my last course assignment and have a massive essay to type. I can see it taking me a month to finish it. I think I’m going to have to break it down to half an hour or an hour a day to work on it or I’ll never get it done. If they send it back as not good enough, I shall scream! lol I think I’ve done rather well though as I’ve passed each one without having to redo any of them. It would be nice if this last one is the same.

I’m planning on a lazy day today of reading and watching a long film, tomorrow I shall get stuck into the essay (I hope!).
