Tedious medical update: Only for the eyes of those so bored that reading about my baikar is more interesting than work. Have more or less given up on Western medicine, having been on steroids for more than a year, on top of trying at least four other types of pills, but the problem keeps flaring up.

Because of the pain and swelling, I haven't worn heels for close to two months, severely curtailing my clubbing and drinking habits. Which is good, objectively speaking, but no fun at all. Anyway, I've been seeing a sinseh and taking vile Chinese herbs diligently three times a day, and my feet seem better after two weeks.

Was even able to celebrate wearing heels for the first time last Friday with way too many drinks at Zouk. At the last count, I think it was 11. But I digress. So, I'm due to see my specialist tomorrow, and I'm gearing myself up to tell him that I have decided to stop treatment and Western medication. But he's such a nice proper old British gent that I feel like I'm letting him down, somehow.
