I am happy to report that...

I am happy to report that I have felt actually, really good today!  😃  It's bittersweet because it's been ages since I've felt this way and I'm kind of dreading it ending... BUT I'm not letting that ruin it.  🙂

One thing I've noticed since the shot / pills is that I am not freezing to death.  I was cleaning in my room last night and spotted my hat drawer and was thinking "Surely I'm usually wearing my hats by mid-November."  I mean, I'm wearing snow pants because DUH.  I'm still me.  But I'm not wearing two shirts plus a heavy jacket AND hat AND boots - and I'm just ok.  I'm ok!  😃  It's so weird, but really nice.  It's not unseasonably warm, is it?

I actually used to love the cold and my plan as a teen was to move to Alaska, but after I had Shadow all of the heat left my body.  It's like I've never been able to warm back up.  I've actually read something about the thing that gives you psoriasis is the thing that also keeps you from fighting your fetus and that it can cause problems after you have a baby, so I'm kind of wondering if all of that is related.

Anyway, I've tried with no luck to get an appointment with Dr. Hamer.  There are a thousand phone numbers listed, but none of them seem to be working.  My BCBS account gave me one that worked, but it said "For appointments, press 1" and when I did it was a recording about prescriptions.  So I will try again in the morning.

One way or another I'm gonna stay on top of this "health" business because I REALLY LIKE feeling ok.  It has honestly been the worst year for me health-wise and I think I had probably been on a downward slide for a longer time than that without realizing it and / or having any way to change it.  I am so thankful that I have insurance now.  Y'all have no idea!
