(no subject)

I'm such a big baby. I've been procrastinating about writing the doctor about some of the symptoms in last week's flare, mainly because i realize the tightness in my chest that i've associated with asthma could be more accurately tied to "silent reflux" which also can cause asthma. But It's Just One More Thing.

Although, miracle of miracles, this si something that can be fixed. So that's a nice lovely change for the better.

But it's surgery and apparently i really don't want that. At least, that's something i deduce from my feeling shaky and teary now that i've written the doctor.

Anyhow, i've been procrastinatory and ms distraction (thanks to Girl Genius and hunting ligatures in my Open Type Fonts ). Sinus headaches often this week -- i suppose this is the final play in the flare that began tuesday night last week, led to the canker sores and skin inflammation, and now wraps up with the sinuses? I've cyclical reasons to think that my energy should be on an upswing soon, so yay.

I have too much work lingering.

Grrr

( Whining about my quality of life health issues and my doctor )

Meanwhile, i suspected my doctor wouldn't manage to respond to two different questions in one email, but i ended the email with the statement, "As a second note -- much of my skin issues cleared up while i was taking the massive doses of vitamin D. They've since come back. I've been taking 4000 IU. Should i raise that dose?" She completely ignored it. I've resent the question as a single message.

I've been thinking about the need to simplify communications because folks seem to poorly cope with complicated or multidimensional or simply even multiple issues in email, but i was in a "how hard can it be" impatient space.

I have this suspicion that many bright folks are in "skim mode" most of time, listening and looking for key terms that they can latch onto and respond to without engaging with the complete communication stream.

Today, i have no patience for that (even if i probably fall into the same trap all the bloody time).
