Side Effects Include General Malaise ...

During the holidays, I was finally able to get my appointment at the Cleveland Clinic to find out what I had been suffering from for the last nine months (well, it might as well be, the last 21 years). Turns out every test and every doctor's appointment I had to suffer - finally success! It wasn't all in my head - it turns out I have Crohn's Disease and that I could have had it all my life, but never diagnosed. Sounds like a story for Mystery Diagnosis on Discovery Health.

So for Crohn's Disease, the doctor at the Cleveland Clinic subscribed a steroid. Yes, a steroid, with some of it's main side effects being tiredness and general malaise. And I have both - and it is fantastic (insert sarcasm here). Luckily it is only for two months and then maybe I can get some of my energy back - but for now, general malaise all day and all night.

Pictures from the York Residents Weekend soon. I have to go to class in Edinburgh this week.
