my cough, almost gone after 10 days of antibiotics and prednisone. almost.
daughter has started watching breaking bad and is now asking if it is lung cancer. i haven’t even had time to find a distributer for my meth yet and she figured me out!

My cough, going on 6 years, although strangely much better the last 6 months, was diagnosed by my daughter as asthma. And she is not even an actuary.

I would still likely go even if I feel better. I had this fatigue for like 5 or 6 weeks in September, then it went away and now it’s back. I’d be afraid it would just come back.
At jury duty praying not to get on a case. Do they want a juror who might pass out during the trial? Let’s find out…

I think I also had fatigue years ago and went to a doctor for it then too for them to be useless but it wasn’t as bad as now.

done with jury duty! praise jesus!
I thought I might die in that jury room and so glad it was only one day. I think I got lucky. Others in the room got called for more cases. I got called for just one case that was going to be super long, so they graciously gave us the option to say no, which everyone in the entire room other than one person took. Would have been an interesting case since I actually heard of it and it was huge when it happened, but not a good idea while feeling like death, and I’d likely say no anyway due to the length.

I served on a jury at a point where I was particularly not liking my job, so it was a welcome reprieve from my duties and I was hoping the case would have gone on longer.
It was a really interesting process though, so I’d encourage anyone who can reasonably serve to try to do so when called.
(But if I were in ao_fan’s shoes with my health I certainly would have taken the out.)
yeah, i really think this one would have been so interesting and i’d have stories, but nah with feeling this way.

could this be all there is to it? my only symptom is fatigue and that’s not a symptom of any real illness.
3 Common Causes of Fatigue during Perimenopause | Menopause Now
could this fatigue from perimenopause be so pronounced and long-lasting (for months) that i feel like i’m dying? if this is a cause, why would my primary care physician and her pt not suggest it and instead ghost me? i have no hot flashes or what i would associate with perimenopause, just extreme fatigue.
Not sure how old you are but you could ask to have your thyroid checked. That was a issue causing fatigue in my MIL and SIL.
did they have other symptoms or just fatigue?
Pretty sure it was just fatigue but it was diagnosed years ago so my memory on it is bad. It probably isn’t that but I think a simple test can be done to determine if that’s the cause or at least rule it out.
I think my TSH levels were in the normal range in my last blood tests, but i’ve heard that’s not the only thing to check for thyroid issues. i think it was on the low side of the normal range though.
also google tells me that stress can make these symptoms far worse, which explains why staying with my parents or friends decrease my stress levels and i feel fine magically.
this is mr f’s standard energy level. it is her stage of life. it has not been easy
The problem is they don’t know. We know only a small fraction of what there is to know about anatomy and even more so about physiology. Dr’s can only fix what someone else figured out and wrote a peer accepted journal article on. That’s it. Everything else they are clueless about.
I’m a multiple felon, so I don’t think I can get called for jury duty.
J/k. I think I can get called for jury duty.
I work for a big insurance company and I’ve already served on a (grand) jury that indicted a lot of police officers. I can be called for jury duty, but there are precious few trials I would be seated on.
I have been called for jury duty several times, gone through voir dire more than once, but never served on a jury. I wouldn’t mind doing so as long as it wasn’t one that lasted weeks.
this case that i was allowed to say no to was the dude who plowed into 20 plus people in times square in 2017. i think one died and several were injured. would you not be seated on that because you indicted cops?
i think that case would have been fascinating. i think i could have been fair.
