Realm: Medical Update

I was feeling good enough that I went off to work this morning, but then was feeling weird enough that I left after three hours, went home, and took a nap. Then I checked my blog.
I was planning to apologize to Nineweaving, in case I gave HER the Lurgi. And I was going to say that maybe we should have just thrown cake at [personal profile] rushthatspeaks and [personal profile] sovay and fled the scene, instead of being sociable. And I was going to hope, forlornly, that I hadn't given the Plague to TOO many people at the contradance Sunday night. But...

I should have mentioned that the Lurgi was a very strange one. It felt like the 'flu...without the flu part: I had (indeed, have) headaches and frequent dizziness in a way that reminded me of being drunk; I got tired easily, and felt...off. But I wasn't nauseous, and most importantly didn't have any cold symptoms.

Sovay, I guess, DID have the 'flu (and is now hopefully on the mend); and she told me I ought to see a doctor, stat. So I did.
Diagnosis: "You don't need to keep the face mask on." No fever, and no cold symptoms: no flu. Instead, we're thinking it's probably a weird, unprecedented side-effect of antidepressants. So I'm to tough it out til next week, and meantime maybe scale back the coffee a bit. We'll see what happens.

(I also got a wart frozen off.)
