After my endoscopy and colonoscopy, I was put on a long regimen of two different antibiotics and don't you know- I developed an allergy to one of them! If that did not make me a mess! I had to stop them both and after a three day rest, take them one at a time to learn which one. Guess that worked out, because I decided to try the Bioxin first. I had no reaction to it- just a perpetual bad taste in my mouth and chronic fatigue. An antibiotic that makes you tired? How strange is that? It is a LONG regimen too because I still have six days to go. The fatigue started after the 7th day. All of this because of a bacterial strain they found in my stomach that is common (H. pylori) and often unsymptomatic. I had no symptoms. No ulcers. No pain. Nothing. But- I am very aware of the damn antibiotic!

Through all of this I am trying to lay out another newsletter- the BIG one. This one is running close to 50 pages allready. Well, I am too tired to work long periods and just don't have the patience to edit some of the articles. I am spending far too much time tracking down caption information. What is wrong with these people? When I say tell me WHO is in the photo, WHEN and WHERE this was taken and what is the photographer's name, do they not understand??? See, I have no patience. This damn antibiotic is turning me into a witch with a capital B.

Check your recent posts. I am trying to catch up as much as possible. By the way- I miss you guys!
