I've reached this milestone with some apprehension and a good deal of mixed feeling. Fear, hope and disgust in equal parts, I think! However. So, in 52 days I have gained 7.5kg. That's about 150g a day. I've gone from 52.5 to 60kg, and my clothes are starting to feel too tight and I can pick up fat off my stomach. Urgh... However. I'm not experiencing the wild fluctuations in body temperature I used to get though, and the attacks of chest pain are much less frequent. So that's good. But I feel depressed and don't like the way I look, and that's hard.
Other than that, the dr has given me some antibiotics in case it's a long-term lowgrade infection that has been giving me all this recent trouble with pain and sickness etc. Hope it works! I haven't taken antibiotics in years tho, I'm pretty leery of them in usual circumstances.

Very extremely well done. You should try really hard to feel proud of yourself - its taken a hell of a lot of pain and work to get to this point!
