Overheard on Car Talk
A Harvard study found the average American walks 900 miles per year.
An American Medical Association study found average American drinks 22 galons of alcohol per year.
So if the math is right, the average American gets 41 miles per galon!

Recap
I don’t really want to talk about today. It wasn’t a good day. Not so much the Crohn’s, but I was exhausted. All my energy was used up. I slept so-so last night, but doing it over I would have had that nap yesterday. I’m going to pick myself up [...]

Recap
Today was a good day as well – day 5 in a row! I’m very tired, though. I would like to take a nap, but am afraid I wouldn’t sleep tonight. Although, I’ve got a script for Sonata now, and it work somewhat last night.

Today is another day. 4 in a row! I didn’t sleep much last night, but I finally have the big guns to try tonight. Let’s hope the Sonata works and I can get some rest for once. The artificial energy high from Prednisone only goes so far, and I think it’s [...]

Three in a row, baby! I’m feeling good and making it through the day. My appetite is insane. But I can’t sleep. I took two Tylenol PMs and two melatonins last night and was still awake until 2am. I think it’s time to break out the strong stuff.
Recap

As the cycle continues – I’m doing well today. Made it to work (at the right time) and everything. I’m not sure what I’m going to do tonight to ensure I’m well tomorrow, but I hope I find something.

Today’s not a good day. So far I’m still home trying to stay out of the bathroom. I’d really like to make it in to work so I can earn my keep.
Recap
I did not end up making it to work. :(

I made it to work today, although this morning my insides were a bit grumbly. But at least I’ll get to go to the Webber Grill Restaurant with our board of directors! I’ve started researching treatment options for some of the specific aspects of my condition so that when I go in to [...]
