OOPS

Turns out I don't have a cold- I am having some bad allergy problems. Or so I'm told.

I did get the cortisone shot that's supposed to make me feel better... LIES! LIES I TELL YOU!
Maybe I feel about 15% better. Of course that might be accurate because I've slept for about a total of two to three hours in the past 48/64 hours... and I'm not expecting to catch up on any missed zzzz's tonight either. So perhaps I AM feeling better... simply unaware of the improvements due to my lack of sleep.

"How dull" you are probably thinking... I shall quit bothering you with the details...

The purpose behind this midnight post: I'm here to repent.

Dearest, closest friends and fans... I went back on my word (about how I SWORE I would not think I had any severe medical issues until at least December)...

As I sat watching late night television (late for me) my feet and lower legs became numb.

I've now researched Guillain-Barre Syndrome as a result of a cortisone injection- very unlikely as they use cortisone to TREAT Guillain-Barre... but Guillain-Barre CAN be caused by a respiratory infection... I guess we will know in the morning.

If the steroids were not helping, this WebMD search SURELY has not helped soothe me into a peaceful slumber...

At the moment I'm perusing the support groups of people who have had lumbar punctures (one of the tests required for Guillain-Barre)... I DON'T WANNA!

Anyway, I suppose I'll go... some movie featuring Beyonce as a gospel singer is starting...

Sorry friends, didn't mean to stir my cyberchondria pot... but I did, and I felt guilty...

XOXO,
UB
