Update on health issues, for those concerned:
My blood tests, heart monitor and MRI are all clean. Strangely enough, all show that I'm healthier than I have ever been physically. However my dizzy spells still continue. Here are the options left:
- Panic attacks, and possibly developing agoraphobia. We're trying me on Paxil CR since the Clonazepam (spelling?) didn't do dick-all. I really don't like it so far. I've barely slept and my dry mouth is severe making everything taste wrong. I'm really panicky and emotional and paranoid, but it's supposed to get worse before it gets better according to the pamphlet. I'm giving the meds another week, tops.
- Food allergies. My sister started to develop food allergies to corn and tomatoes around my age. Passing out, etc. Almost exactly what I'm going through, but she got really blotchy too and had some other symptoms that were obviously allergy-related. I just get dizzy spells. It's the next course of action, so just waiting on my reaction to these meds right now.
- Early menopause. No, I'm not kidding. My cycle is WAY off and I'm on the pill. My nurse friend said that with stress and my body type, and my history of cycle issues down south it's not unheard of. I'm exhibiting signs of it. Again, one thing at a time.
To make matters worse, I got called for the jury selection process today. Last time, I was actually selected as juror 7 and went through 5 weeks of looking at autopsy photos, which I shall never forget for the rest of my life. I can't go through it again. My entire immune system shut down during the last day of sentencing and I almost had to go to the hospital. I think a doctor's note will get me out of it this time though. I really, really hope.
