the drugs don't work

i'm getting very tired at the moment. i suppose you could say that the drugs aren't working - yet. although i've started on a new immunosuppressant it takes two to three months to fully work, which makes sense as that was how long it took for me to get really ill when i came off the last lot of immunosuppressants in december. also, in an attempt to build up tolerance, i started on a lower dose and increased it the other week.
combined with the drug taking, i am also rather busy. both at work and socially. last weekend was the royal cornwall show which matthew was heavily involved in and i went along for the friday afternoon and saturday. all great fun but also very tiring. the last two weeks i have also had some evening commtitments for work, which do make a very long day. although i take the time back, it isn't always immediate.
this tiredness has also led to a slight increase in the pleuritic pain that i am still experiencing and i struggle with hills and long flights of stairs. as was highlighted at a meeting on monday night where i parked at the bottom of the valley and had to walk up a flight of stairs to the house near the top. i arrived very breathless, much to the shock of the host! fortunately it didn't take too long to recover.
so all in all i am tired.
fortunately i'm off on holiday!! at long last, it seemed like ages ago that we booked the time off, but it is nearly upon us. we will be spending the first week in bath, and have booked some time at the new bath spa - i am so looking forward to it. only two days to go...
