kjpepperOkay so ever since last month's adventures in blood clots and they put me on the warfarin, I've noticed two things happening pretty consistantly. One, my weight jumped 10-15 pounds. I thought at first this was because I was eating stupid, but in general? I actually really don't. I don't eat scads of sugar on a daily basis anymore (not sugaring one's coffee definitely helps), no candy at all lately, and I've given up soda entirely. We tend to cook fairly balanced shit around here. So what the hell. What I have noticed is that my ankles and feet are swollen constantly now, which sucks, and also makes me think that the sudden weight spike might be water retention. It certainly doesn't feel like normal weight. Normal weight is ignorable and doesn't make me feel like Violet Beauregarde after eating the dinner gum. This is what I feel like every damn day now. Oompa Loompa doopity dee.
Two... my skin has gone to absolute shit. I was THAT kid in high school that never got acne (people once jumped me at lunch and smeared butter on my face in an attempt to make me break out - THEY FAILED), and up until last month, that was still true. yeah. Not so much right now. My forehead and chin look like someone stenciled the Illiad on them in Braille.
And of course, the usual Crohn's issues still persist. And I'm probably PMSing which is a laugh riot of no help. Especially with the bloating.
I am, quite literally sick and tired of being sick and tired all the time. It's making my body a seriously unpleasant place to live, and really doesn't help the whole feeling of nothing can ever go right ever that's been plaguing me lately.

May I recommend the hippy-dippy oil cleansing method for the zits of doom? http://www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/
I do it at night, and it's helped with the adolescent ZoD issues Mr. T has introduced to my face.
Also, drink a buttload of water (again, T makes you retain water, so we are weirdly running parallel here)
