    Hi

    Back to normal folks, up until this morning I still felt a bit queezy, but I feel fine now. Hopefully I can build up a it prior to the next round and hopefully I don't have as much sickness.

There is also a smell which I relate to this a sweet sickly smell that comes from my skin, urine, and anything else you care to mention. The smell itself makes me feel…
