Headed down

This is the second day in a row that I've felt exhausted in the early afternoon. Yesterday, around 2:00, I had to give up and shut my door so I could lie down for a bit. I didn't have time to fall asleep, but I just had to lie down. I couldn't keep my eyes open at my desk.

Today, I'm starting to get tired again, a wee bit before 1:30. And I even got to sleep in this morning (until 8:00!) because I had physical therapy at 9:00.

I'd been feeling so great for a couple months (especially when I'm going in for weekly acupuncture). Guess I had to crash sometime. I've been watching the scale, too, and I'm starting to gain weight, despite being super strict about minimal fruit and booze and upping my exercise (up three pounds this month, and up one inch around my waist).

Bummer.

Yesterday, I called Lawrence's only endocrinologist to see if she was taking new patients. The process went like this: Called listed number. Was told that wasn't the right number. Was given the right number. Was told I would be transferred to the correct line. Reached the office. Asked receptionist if doctor was taking new patients. Was told I would have to ask a nurse. Left a voice mail with nurse. Twenty-four hours later, I haven't heard back.

Not feeling especially positive about that avenue of treatment. I've had my fill of non-responsive doctors, thanks. Doctors Khosh are looking like my final option. And that's not really helping my attitude, either.

Thank you. I do not need to have these SRS BODY ISSUES six weeks before KCRF starts.

I hope so. Definitely going to focus on inflammation and exhaustion issues for the next few months of acupuncture treatments.
