After Infectious Disease gave me the results of the fungal cultures. I spent the rest of the day just reflecting. On pretty much everything. Let me be fully transparent. As I look back in pictures throughout the years, specifically of my face, since about 2009, something changed. As far as I can remember back, the… Continue reading Root Cause Analysis

Small, But Big News
Infectious disease called me this morning. The fungal cultures finished growing. I grew 2 strains of Alternaria. Not sure which subtypes they are, but the most effective treatment is the Voriconazole, which I started roughly a week ago. Answers a lot of questions and cements my theories a few posts back. The allergy test actually… Continue reading Small, But Big News
Not Surprised Anymore
What’s surprising is the amount of sheer ignorance I have to deal with in respect to doctors. I’m still trying to find out if it’s intentional, or if this is how it’s always been. Wednesday was IVIg. I felt worn down. Beaten. Tired. As the nurses came, the usual thing happened. Do fluids, draw labs,… Continue reading Not Surprised Anymore
Starting to Piece Things Together
Since the sinus surgery, I’ll be honest. This is probably the best I’ve felt in a very very long time. I seriously cannot remember what it’s like to feel good. My mouth still hurts though. Under my tongue, and in my cheeks. As I’ve started to dwell on what the new pathology has shown, I… Continue reading Starting to Piece Things Together

Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met? Durning the nightlife era, as far as celebrities go: Corey Feldman, Mario Lopez, Edsel Dope, entire cast of Jersey Shore (minus a few of them), unfortunately Kanye West. From a DJ standpoint, a lot of DJ’s some well known, others not.
Wind In My Sails
I don’t sail though. Infectious disease today was somewhat inspiring, but at the same time, frustrating. So first things first. The voriconazole. The serum levels are probably nearing therapeutic levels. Because things are starting to suck more. The side effects I’m starting to feel, in one word, shitvortex. Every day at 10am I have to… Continue reading Wind In My Sails
Voriconazole Sucks
Just wanted to start off saying, that since I started the voriconazole, I’ve had some weird side effects. For starters, I feel really floaty, like out of it floaty. Secondly, the visual stuff sucks. My vision is much worse. From time to time I’ll see stars just randomly. Even wearing my glasses doesn’t help much.… Continue reading Voriconazole Sucks
Something everyone should know
What’s something you believe everyone should know. If it’s on the internet, it absolutely isn’t true. People need to fact check things more thoroughly instead of being influenced so easily.
Finish Line
Dunno if it was me waking up at 5:30am and going over the infectious disease conversation about 1000 times, but infectious disease required 0 effort to get them to pay attention. Officially the culture grew MRSA, which stands for Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. It’s one of two strains that an immunocompromised person doesn’t want. Why?… Continue reading Finish Line
Infectious Disease Anxiety
Tomorrow is a pretty big day. I get to see Kaufman again. The infectious disease Dr that basically stopped helping. I really have a feeling they are going to try playing off what cultured, since it’s what I’ve been fucking saying the entire time. There’s a reason the Vancomycin helped. There’s a reason the Dalbavancin… Continue reading Infectious Disease Anxiety
