And the streak keeps going

cornerofmadnessLast night before bed, I put on my new Dexcom. It synchs and I cover it with a cute jellyfish cover. I'm waiting out the 25 minute start up time while I read in bed. It starts screaming. WTF? It failed. Sigh. I have to burn the cute jellyfish cover because I have to remove the defective dexcom (there's 300$ down the drain) the wire sensor is gone...again. Next time I have a MRI so many of these pieces of wire are so getting ripped out of my arm.
So I woke up early (as I do like twice a night) I took my Rybelsus, went back to bed, woke up an hour later with nausea. STILL nauseous 14 hours later. Burping up a ton of acid too. Worse, I'm dizzy. I haven't had that one with a GLP1 before. It does say that it should get better. I'm going to try to stick it out a week. Maybe I'll get used to it (Might call the endocrinologist and ask, hey can I take this when I got to bed and sleep off several hours of this bullshit).
But hey I'll lose weight because I can't fucking eat. Ugh
There was more b.s. at work today that is making all of us lose it. (It shouldn't have happened and impacted our students. it'll get fixed but still)
I noticed a strange color to one of my toe nails under the polish which I wanted to remove and redo one last time before fall. Yep, like I thought, the new cross trainers which made the tip of my big toe ache. Sure enough both nails (right > left) have leukonychia, white spots from the pressure. i.e. it's trauma. bah. Next time I'm in Chillicothe I'm going to try and get another pair of tennis shoes and keep these ones back for places I don't have to be on my feet all day (because they are cool looking and are comfortable except for the right toe which yeah is now traumatized. I better not get a fungal nail from this.
This is the second time mail hasn't been in my mail box after the USPS has scanned it in so I know it's coming. I'm getting annoyed and wondering if someone has been in there.
Oh and that whole 'oh your loans will automatically renew with the IRB' thing? Bullshit. My loan repayment was 4 times what it was last month. Screams into the void.
I had previously rescheduled my allergist and psychiatrist appointments, the former being today. Scheduled them right in the middle of class. Had to redo that. I am so done right now.
it's music monday and we're doing music that inspires you. For the next month or so, let's do one song that inspires us to draw or write. If you're not a creative, share one song that's making you happy right now. I wrote Master of Puppets
So here is the song for that

Crap, I've had those white spots for years now and I thought it was from the nail polish, or something. *deep sigh* The things I learn about my crazy body from your crazy body. *shakes head*

to be fair there are multiple reasons for white spots. trauma and fungus are the two most common

Date: 2025-09-16 08:53 pm (UTC)Yeah, that's what irks me about these drugs: the hype about helping people lose weight is that people are simply too nauseous to eat...
