On Tuesday and Wednesday (5/29-30) I had my blood taken 7 times. Actually it would have been only 6 except in the main lab, the blood taker (what is that word? phelbolist???) forgot a tube and so had to take my blood again.
So update:
Spent a week in Houston having EKG's (7 on one day), lots of blood taken, and just hanging out. How can doing nothing make you sooooooo tired? Amazingly my skin is looking well... better. We are seeing some clearing. But we were seeing that even before I started the LDH. We (the royal we) are thinking it might be the BCX1777 leaving my system. Who knows. I'm just the Frankenstein on the table being experimented with and all I can say is agggggggggghhhhhh ;).
Itching: Comes and goes. I notice in Houston I'm not so dry (humidty still reigns in Houston). You guys think we have humidity in Austin, but I'm here to tell you "it ain't so." Sometimes I itch so bad I can't stop. Sometimes I start scratching but I can actually stop and I don't feel the driving, insane, I MUST SCRACTCH feeling. Ahhh that is much better. My skin is sooooo dry. Even after an hour of lathering tons of lotion on me, I'm dry. Of course the AC really dries out my skin.
When suffering does not destroy you, even though you have been to the edge of the abyss, you know something that you cannot know in any other way. Someone else is sustaining you. You are indeed living by a life not your own. Or as I love to say, "Your life is not about you." It is henceforth, most truly, about God. And you are merely "free sample" of what God has always been doing. - Quote from Richard Rohr
