It is fucking horrible. If you don't get that, you're living in a different century.

Analyze your limitations. We all think we're Superman sometimes. We're not.

Taking care of yourself will pay off, literally if you are in the U.S. and subject to our horrible healthcare.

It's easy to lapse into a sedentary lifestyle -- don't do it. The couch is not your friend.

Ive had diabetic ketoacidosis a few times. Once it starts coming on you can't eat Anything. For a couple days or more.

Then the treatment is ice chips and IV insulin for a few days.

Coming out of it, your stomach is the size of a walnut and the thought of eating makes you want to make you puke.

My roads back to eating:

Broth from ramen cups. Liquid meal replacements. If you have a soy allergy, take a close look at the ingredients. Miso broth.

Drinkable yogurt.

Bland pasta with just olive oil.

Granola bars.

My experience is that I eventually get hungry again.

Best of luck dealing with your situation.

Edit: per others, chicken soup (I can get the broth down) and Pedialyte or Gatorlyte. Getting dehydrated does not help.

Damn -- sorry!.

I ended up with a dermatologist who prescribed a steroid cream called triamcinoclone. But that was for diagnosed ectopic dermatitis.

I must say though, that diagnosis kind of covers anything that itches.

I had horrible skin problems after getting pneumonia.

Short term solution: Gold Bond makes a liquid with 2% lidocaine. It helped me get through some spikes in itchiness.

Good luck!

Yeah and pollute it with fascist content.

I have $150k in mortgage debt on a house worth about twice that. Plus a couple more years car debt.

What really gets me is my health insurer severed relations with the county in May and I got hospitalized two weeks ago. So now I will owe the $8,000 out of network deductible. That pisses me off.

I have a 2017 Mazda3, currently 35,000 miles. I live in a small town and have worked out of my house for over 10 years.

I drive maybe 3 miles a week on average.

My transportation also includes feet and a mountain bike geared for ... Mountains.

I'd like to take longer car trips, but I'm too busy working for a living.
