Hey, I've been quite under the weather. Lots of lab tests all coming back good however. Having a scan done we'll see from the report and go from there. So I'm  either working or in bed. We are swamped we consistently hover at about 140 weddings due within 6 weeks turnaround. I finished my last show for awhile and I'm not taking on any more until I feel good. What's up with you?

That's crazy, I hope you get better soon You're staying at home though, right? Did you have to go to the hospital? It must be difficult trying to manage all that work while being sick. And I've been fine; work's been keeping me really busy lately. I'm hoping next week won't be so hectic

Fortunately no hospital yet, I'm losing weight can't seem to gain. I don"t look healthy at 130. So far insurance has taken care of most of it. Yeah, work isn't easy, takes longer and I tire easily. Like now, LOL.

It's good that you haven't had to go to the hospital. Hopefully things get better for you soon; it's hard to do a ton of work while being sick

Went there today, I looked gaunt, withered, pale. They pulled me off my medication. It appears I've been having a severe reaction. Rapid weight loss, agitation, bizarre thinking, paranoia, depression and extreme tiredness. My co-owner explained that I was exhibiting traits of a very old withdrawn man not at all like me and that they were very concerned. We're keeping watch to see if I bounce back, others experiencing this seemed to recover in two to eight days, some longer. I was informed that I really didn't need to be on them. I hope none of it's permanent.

Oh no! I really hope none of it's permanent, too. That's the scary thing about medicine, one can never be sure how it will affect someone until he takes it himself. Honestly, it seems like a lot of doctors--including some of the ones I work with--are really quick to give people prescriptions for things. Sometimes they work, sometimes they do nothing, and unfortunately sometimes they do more harm than good

Indeed, at a certain age they just throw statins at you. So much education comes directly from the pharmaceutical companies. Looks like I need to purchase a PDR and be more proactive about the meds prescribed for me. I wasn't really aware how messed up I was. But I appear to be coming out of it. Thanks again for the posts.

A lot of doctors are paid by pharmaceutical companies to promote and prescribe their drugs, which is actually really scary. And I'm glad you're coming out of it; hopefully soon you'll be at 100%

How right you are, yup feeling so much better. I am producing again in all areas. Little paranoia in the evenings but nothing like before.
