T.M.I.

I'm not one to complain about ailments or aches and pains, either on this blog or in real life. I rarely get sick, except mentally, so when something persist for more than a few days, I become concerned. Originally, I thought the new medication was the culprit, so 2 weeks ago I stopped taking it. The problem continued. I haven't restarted the old medication in case it was masking some symptoms I wasn't aware of. Both medications should be completely out of my system by now, but the problem persist, albeit, not as sever as it once was. I have always had a funny stomach. Most things don't bother, hence I can and do eat just about anything. Occasionally, I will have a spat of constipation or diarrhea, but it never last more than a day or two at most. Once in a while, shortly after eating, I'll have a sudden urge to go, but never thought much about it. Gassy and bloated, yep, very often, regardless of what I eat. The last month though, my stomach has been in a near constant state of upset, as well as very dark, almost black and hard to believe very foul smelling. That's a very long time for this to be going on. My previous medication's side effect was constipation, so now with that out of my system for a month, I guess my system is unhindered. Also, I have been lethargic, despite enough sleep and naps. I thought it was because of the heat and hard work, though it persist even when I haven't been in either. I have set up a doctor's appointment for next Tuesday. Hopefully, it isn't anything serious, but just to be on the safe side.
