Key Dates

This is just going to be a list of dates for reference. I may come back and add more information as time goes on.

5/30/17 diagnosed with pneumonia

Jan 2020 – finally well enough to want to exercise. Get membership to Planet Fitness

Late March 2020 – started working from home due to pandemic

August 2020 – developed hernia (very tiny in belly button) due to constant constipation

4/26/21 – physical appointment, talked with dr about constipation and hernia (she said there was nothing to worry about at that time)

9/27/21 – return to the office, work hybrid

2/28/22 – physical appointment, prescribed Metformin for insulin resistance. Had no difficulty with the medication. Still having issues with constipation.

April 2022 – personal facebook post about reducing my dairy intake because it seems to be giving me digestive issues

July 2023 – colonoscopy

Jan 2024 – purchase glucose monitor. At this point I have been carrying about 10 extra pounds for the last 6 months.

March 1 – 15 2024 (apx) – went off wheat to see if it is the cause of my gastric distress, did not seem to be the cause. However, looks like the combination of bacon and cottage cheese for breakfast may be the culprit.

March 28, 2024 – I have lost the 10 pounds I had put on since July. I seem to be more regular. I’m battling headaches/migraines and severe fatigue. The fatigue is fairly new or at least new to my attention. We are planning a full elimination diet. Have a physical scheduled for mid-April.
