iron deficiency, panic attacks, and getting sick
two weeks into the new year... let's have a recap:
1.) a day into the new year and i got sick. fever. left me lying on my bed for one whole day. so much for trying to be productive eh?
2.) nosebleeds.
3.) tried to get into the new year's resolution thingy.... gave up on the third day.
4.) more nosebleeds.
5.) TRIED to find me-self work
6.) have i mentioned nosebleeds?
two weeks into the new year and all i did was get sick, try to do something productive and then in the middle of it, get sick again. is this trying to tell me something? anything? 'cause if it is, all i could think of's negative stuff. and i don't wanna get all negative again.
i've been having nosebleeds so often, it's not even funny. i'm not really worried about having 'em 'cause i've been having nosebleeds for as long as i could remember, but i only get them during the summer or when it's really hot. it's chilly now even during the day that's why it's kinda odd for me to have 'em.
i think it was friday when i asked jelo to ask doc gabs about my nosebleeds and mystery bruises. he said something about me being anemic and that i need to get iron supplements. and he said that i should still get my blood tests just to make sure. (i'm editing out the sermon part. =P) and being the stubborn ass that i am, i really have no plans of getting myself checked up until one night my mum saw my nose bleeding. to make the story short, she immediately called the family physician and scheduled me for cbc and platelet count tests.
have i mentioned that i'm deathly, deathly afraid of needles? ohhh yeahh. i was sent off to the hosp early in the morning to get the tests done. my panic attacks lasted longer than the actual procedure. i was grinding my teeth to a pulp, my tummy felt like it's full of creepy crawlers...not even butterflies. i got the results in a few hours. and guess what?! EVERYTHING'S NORMAL. my doctor could not see anything wrong with me. she just gave me nasal spray and vit. c which i hafta take for a month. and i forgot to take 'em yesterday. and i'll probably forget to take them in the next few days too. hehehe.
so that's my first two weeks of 2005 in a nutshell.
