I'm just a nerd coming to grips with dealing with a chronic illness. I write the occasional quip about technology and cover my journey from the unknown to diagnosis and the effects on my life and that of my friends and family.

Yea wow ..

So lets see. Oregon Health Sciences University has concretely decided its Crohn’s. So what’s happened lately?

Crohn’s cost me my job at New Edge.

I’m starting Humira this week *hopefully*.

My leg keeps going numb/burning sensation (as if I don’t have enough problems).

I have been completely unmotivated to do much of anything. I’ve lost about 60 pounds since April when I stopped the steroids so I’m getting skinny again (this is the only part I like about being sick). Within the last month I’ve been super tired, the fatigue has been a problem before but not on this scale, I’ve been sleeping upwards of 22 hours on some days and then I’ll get up for 4 or 5 hours and even small errands like going to the grocery store absolutely wipes me out.Talk about lame. I’ve started taking vitamins and B12 every day and its *seems* to have helped a little bit but not much.

Time to get to bed though, I have an interview tomorrow =)
