Antivirals, wow

Just a quick update. I've been put on Valtrex for my chronic Epstein Barr and this has helped me significantly. I'm almost normal these days. I look healthier than I have in years. I'm just a bit anxiety ridden. If reducing my dosage of Armour thyroid doesn't work, I'll try Buspar. I need something to keep a lid on this. I found a bruise on my niece, recently. A huge one. We reported it to Child Protective Services and they ended up arresting her father. Her mom is in a mental hospital and she may get out soon. If this happens, I will be reluctant to visit. Her drug problem is quite severe and it is very difficult to witness. Also, she has physically assaulted me on multiple occasions. So, that's basically a huge part of why I have anxiety.

The bummer these days is that I'm suffering from a slipped disk. I wear a neck brace at night and in the car and I have been taking muscle relaxers. Also, I have been seeing a physical therapist. I want to get back to the gym, so I really hope this doesn't last. Unfortunately, it's not getting better very fast and the doctor seems concerned about this. It's just one thing after another. Arg.
