Fair warning...this one's going to be a somewhat long one........
The last three weeks have honestly been a bit hellish for me, and man does it suck.
First, pneumonia, and I could swear that the meds they gave me in combination with me being as sick as I was (and somewhat still am) and having to stop my amitriptyline have thrown my gut for an absolute loop. I'm having A LOT more pain than usual, and it's making me extremely worn out and just plain grumpy. I've missed a lot of work because of it, probably 80% of the last three weeks, and it's driving me up the wall. Plus now the diarrhea every single time I eat something, in addition to more pain and acid reflux when I eat.
I just am frustrated and freaking out because I have NEVER missed this much work and it's really starting to affect my work. Work's forcing me to reschedule some upcoming learning sessions I was really looking forward to to late in the year without much of a reason besides because I've been sick, and I guess while I am fortunate I can reschedule and not just outright cancel, it's just a bit embarrassing for me to have to make major changes in my work life because I've been sick. I hate the feeling that I am unreliable, plus knowing that I am losing focus when I am at work because I am just plain exhausted and don't feel well. I had a MAJOR screw up at work the other day, and luckily I caught it before it caused any problems, but if I hadn't, it would have been bad, very bad.
I'm just overall frustrated, depressed, freaking out, and in some need of a listening ear, and I have to say I'm thankful there is a place for that.
Thank you for lending an ear and for any input those that are a bit more experienced with this disease have.
