I went to the doctor, who gave me Tami-Flu, which didn’t help a lot; I didn’t get out of bed for a week, and I am STILL feeling the effects of the H1N1 virus.  It obviously affects teens and adults MUCH harder than small children; my brothers both got over it within a day or two.

I was so fatigued, it was unbearable.  I coudln’t walk up a flight of stairs without being winded.  It is still hard for me, and I am still running a low fever after two weeks.

My sinuses are very clogged, so I decided to try an approach other than Mucinex or prescription: saline washing, as in a neti-pot.  Needless to say, I was freaked out by the idea: who wants to hawk up nasty stuff?  I sure don’t.  I’ll talk about the neti-pot business in my next post.

I care a lot about my health, but, like most of us, I don’t have the time to run miles every day or prepare fresh-cooked meals ALL THE TIME.  I’m a student looking for a “quick fix.”

Besides a student, I’m a singer, actress, and avid biker (among other things, such as activist, mediator, and go-to-man).  With my busy schedule, I figure I need to be healthy, right?  Easier said than done.

I’m embarking on a journey to better my health, one step at a time, which you can read about in my blog.  I’ll address a ton of topics, such as dyslexia and other learning disorders; Irlen’s syndrome (scotopic sensitivity); depression; anxiety; and other phsychological disorders; fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue; diet: what’s the best?; insomnia; autism; headaches; and more.

To start, I’d like to take a poll.  Please select whichever BEST describes you–it will help me a lot if you do this!
