Default quick update

going to have CT scan (sinuses). mom going with me.

doing sorta better today... feel out of breath when i do *anything* but hardly any tightness. just a twinge every now and then.

skipped Zoloft for today, which due to its convenient half-life of almost exactly 1 day, will cut my level in half. undecided whether to resume at 25mg (rather than 50) tomorrow or not.

i could see the tightness, but not the breathing, to be related to the Zoloft. one diagnostic problem is this:

the worst days were yesterday and the day before, but especially yesterday. those days are likely days when Zoloft side-effects due to the increase to 50mg might show up. BUT. those are also days 1 and 2 of my cycle. so if the problem were anemia, it would ALSO have been worsened on those days, and especially yesterday. i am getting madder and madder at my mdoc.

bottom line, if it gets better from today on, it could mean the problem was the Zoloft OR anemia. (or a coincidence, of course.)

ok i need to finish getting ready now...
