Most interesting (to me).... for years, I have had sinus infections, go to the pill pusher and get an antibiotic called Zpac. It knocks out the infection and I go on about my days. For about 2 years, I have experienced a dizziness/fatigue. Primary, cardiologist and nephrologist have had no answers for the cause.

Anyways, last week I got another sinus infection. this time I got a different antibiotic and the dizziness/fatigue has disappeared.

Now, fatty liver has been added to my list of chronic disease. In spite of all that, my physical quality of life is good. I hike several times a week and my endurance is improving to the point that I can climb hills without running out of breath.

The stress test was brought up again and the cardiologist has accepted my refusal to take it.

--- and so it goes.
