So much has gone on over the last several weeks. I've been busy, tired, and overwhelmed. Um, did I mentioned TIRED ?!
I really need to work on the whole sleep thing. I notice that when I take my sleep meds (prescribed) that I feel better the next day. I do not ache as bad, I have more energy also.
Sometimes, though, I do not take my sleep meds...

Anyway, admittedly so I thought some of it was cooky, and couldn't understand how that could possibly be true - but according to my results I had parasitism, an infection, severe...
