Weakling!

I was a weakling today. My body felt like jelly sometimes, just like yesterday. I hope I am not getting worse again. It seems like every time I celebrate something, I lose it.

I went skiing this evening and had a hard time. I tried a blue and took five breaks on the way down. At least no falls today. My muscles were sore and ready to give out, as if I had skied all day. This is marked worse than last week.

Dry mouth and sour taste from the desipramine are still bugging me, although sometimes it is fine. Seems like mornings are worst--well, I take the pill at bedtime. Also, I had several bad dreams last night.
