The latest health update is that in addition to an auto immune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis, and valley fever (which is a fungal lung infection that in most people goes away without them even knowing that they are sick, but in my case is pretty severe and has to be treated so that it doesn't go septic and kill me) i also have a nasty flu which is ( Read more... ) -

So last year happened. I'm going to try and update more, if only to keep track of my health and transition stuff, since the doctors think that's a good idea for my mental health or whatever. They also seem to think having a chronic serious illness means I'm going to be super depressed and want to kill myself or something? News flash guys, being at ( Read more... ) -
Angry
Rough week. Finally got a partial diagnosis from my rheumatologist: Sjögren's syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis. That was Halloween . Day after I spoke with my primary care here on post and i was told that they were initiating a medical evaluation board to discharge me. They told me that my case was "pretty obvious" and so probably wouldn't take ( Read more... ) -
Soldiering on
Army life keeps trucking on, but they finally got me in to see a physical therapist and an infectious diseases specialist. For Physical therapy were doing aquatics which seem to be helping with my mobility. My specialist went over all my blood tests with me and I found out some interesting stuff.

My drinking habits aren't bad at all; I ( Read more... ) -

I'm going to try and post more regularly. Something not necessarily substantial, because my life is essentially groundhogs day but in TRADOC, so. That sucks. But they're finally getting me to aqua therapy for my arthritis and an infectious disease specialist for my Lyme-that-isn't-just-Lyme. Apparently, my doctor told her boss, who told my 1SG that ( Read more... ) -

My roommate is trying to set up her Internet connection right now and has no clue what she's doing. She thinks that all she has to do is "just plug in the box" and her wifi will work. If I pipe up with anything useful re her router or installing the right software on her computer so the thing will work I am the most rude And meddlesome of creatures ( Read more... ) -
Can I get some rum with this Lyme
Still here in arizona, which sucks but there you have it. Being a hold here isn't all bad; it's not terribly stressful and I get to do a lot of quirky details for both the company and battalion. I'm anxious to get to my unit as soon as possible, but the army and the universe work in ways outside of my control.
Also outside of my control is my Lyme ( Read more... ) -
