19. being out in front of medical science is a pita!

Feb 2023

watching all the docs looking at long covid and going- oh, post viral bullshit is REAL!
shit rly went off the cliff in 2002 when i got west nile. the side eye from the docs can b as bad as the symptoms.

but virtuous cycles r a thing. getting rid of the muscle cramps meant my yoga practice was finally solid. i still occasionally get cramps in my toes, which makes yoga rly hard, but it used to make it impossible some days. and i dont get the blow back the next day.
exercise and a new puppy have me in a pretty good place atm.
