So, like an idiot I think perhaps a nice, safe over-the-counter drug might clear up my infection faster than my usual hippie cures (which work, but slowly ( Read more... )

Feeling a bit better today, despite the diseased vagina (longtime readers will realize how much this affects my life. Argh ( Read more... )

Not been feeling bad particularly lately, just dizzy. Abnormally, inexplicably dizzy. And into procrastination. And incapable of sticking to things.
