Short post is brief because I have a UTI and I'm exhausted and drained and flat.

Antibiotics suck, but green antibiotics at least make me smile because they're a nice colour.

Yoghurt + Ural ... my insides are probably weird.

Exercises continue to be hard hard hard and suck up all my energy. I just got up to doing 7 sets per day but I'm NO WAY going to make 7 today with a UTI so I dunno. Ha;rd hard hard.

CPAP trial last week was awesome - no migraines, slept better, woke up with a bit more energy ... and then had to give the machine back as it was only a 1 week trial. FRUSTRATING!!

Initial appointment to see sleep specialist post-trial was 5 December but managed to get them to move it forward to 21 November so that's something ... still 3 weeks away though. Somehow harder to cope with feeling like crap knowing there's something that would improve how I feel but I need to jump through their hoops to access the subsidised device so it's worth it in the end.

Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired :/

Actually I'm mostly reasonably cheery - think infection is getting me down.

I've heard people use Xanax as a recreational substance, but you'd probably want a higher dose than that ideally :)

None of my H2 or PPI drugs were ever purple, I'm obviously missing out!!

originally Prilosec (omeprazole) was also called "The Purple Pill" (the company actually registered that phrase as an alternate trade name); it was sold OTC. when the patent on omeprazole ran out, and the drug became available very cheaply, the original drug company began marketing esomeprazole (a slightly different, more expensive preparation of the same chemical) as Nexium, and transferred the Purple Pill name to that one.

i know people do use Xanax (and any other benzodiazepine they can get their hands on) recreationally, but the few times i've had them for medical purposes, they haven't been particularly enjoyable. there are various street drugs with "purple" in their names, but we won't discuss those... ;-)
