Personal update.
The last couple of weeks have been rough. I caught a nasty GI bug on top of an already fragile system, and for a few days I couldn't keep anything down at all. I ended up in the hospital on the 19th for IV fluids and meds, which helped stabilize things.
Since then, I've been on a mostly liquid diet with some very soft foods, under the guidance of a functional medicine doctor. That includes medical food shakes to replace some meals, since solid food hasn't been going well for a while and I likely wasn't getting enough nutrients.
I'm about 5–6 days out from the hospital visit now. I'm sleeping a lot, still pretty foggy, and don't have much energy yet. My body is also adjusting to the liquid diet, which has meant some lightheadedness and feeling "off." It's not fun, but I'm hopeful this will help in the long run.
If I've been quieter or slower to respond, that’s why. I really appreciate the patience and kindness.
