Yes, I deal with things like naming blog posts in mature ways. Choppy is what will be happening to me. I had an ENT appointment this week and my tonsils will be coming out!! I have some remnants of adenoids so they will highly likely be removed too. I’m having a mammoth week. Between […]
Health
Randoms 4
Hello world. I’ve been off in my own little place for a while. Much going on. Mostly I’m going to blame the heatwave for making me unenthused about everything. I don’t mind summer too much, I mean, I’d rather have less humidity but hey, I do live around Brisbane so that’s what I signed […]
Health Updates
*Again with the disclaimer #NotADoctor. Just good to talk about these things from personal experience and give you suggestions about what you can ask your qualified health team if anything is relevant to you* As you know, in 2016 I finally received some good quality treatment for my semi-persistent low iron levels. The good […]
I’ve Lost All Of My Interests
I’ve lost all of my interests at the moment. But I’m ok with it. We had a bit of a crap weekend here. Nothing major went wrong per se, just some bleh feelings and maintenance stuff that needed to happen. At one point we were out for a little while, walking, talking and driving and […]
Low Iron Treatment
Disclaimer: What I’m talking about today is what my GP, dietitian and I decided would be the best course of action for my treatment of low iron. I’m not a doctor and highly encourage you to consult with a qualified health professional when you have any concerns about any aspect of your health. So […]
Irrational Thoughts Are Stupid
As you may know, I’ve had a bit of a shit time in recent months. That happens. The part that is hardest is that while I’ve dropped a LOT of things (like blogging, thanks to those who have checked in, I am ok, it’s just literally an energy thing) I’ve reached a point where I […]
Medical Tales
In writing my last essay for the semester, I spent an entire day lying on my stomach, in bed, tapping away at my laptop. I sit at a desk all freaking week at work – so I tend to lie in bed to study. The problem with nutting out most of a 3500 word […]
Chemist Budget Tips
Calling around to a number of chemists before you buy a prescription can save you heaps. Recently, making three phone calls saved me $5 on antibiotics for my sinus infection. There was no negotiating or anything, it was just calling the three chemists I knew would be open at 4pm on a Saturday & asking what their price […]
Practical Health
I wish medicine had the answers for practical questions. But I think when it doesn’t have answers it means society is broken in that area & is not working for our bodies. I commute to a day job for now. It’s not what I like – either the commuting or the sitting all day […]
Small Steps
Yesterday I took the first step in that healthy schmelthy direction. I went to the dietician appointment that I booked. If you saw my last post, you’ll know I was a bit hesitant because the last experience I had was very negative. This one couldn’t have been more different. I was welcomed, […]
