It’s Absolutely Frightening…

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Okay, so I think the Vitamin D / no sugar / flour / white stuff / Echinacea / daily pilates regimen is beginning to have an effect.  Previously, I said I hadn’t been feeling much better and was still having issues with stamina and the lingering feeling of crappiness.  Yesterday it dawned on me that [...]

Holy Crap!

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

This is absolutely awesome!  Wait until starting around the 60 second mark.

Miracle? I Think Not…

Monday, December 28th, 2009

Okay, so (obviously) getting some sort of diagnosis does not mean I will instantaneously begin to feel better.  I’ve been taking my Vitamin D daily and sucking down Echinacea tea as much as possible and avoiding all white stuff (flour, sugar, etc…).  I’m still having exhaustion issues as well as just feeling crappy, but I’m [...]

The Verdict Is *Really* In

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

As an early Christmas present, I got:
An Epstein Barr virus level of 8 (should be below 1)
and
a pretty hefty Vitamin D deficiency at 25.2 (lowest normal figure is 32, but doc says I should be closer to the higher end of the range which is 100).
Go me!
The one good thing about it is the rash [...]

Day of Reckoning

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Well, tomorrow’s the day.  I get to go to the doctor’s first thing in the morning to get the results from all of my blood tests.  I didn’t start getting nervous about it until this evening.  I was joking with my mom earlier that I’d probably walk in and she’d tell me I was pregnant.
Ain’t [...]

This Is Awesome!

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Having dated someone with Type 1 diabetes, friends with either Type 1 or Type 2, and a number of family members with Type 2, I get all excited when new information on treatments show up in the news.
I’d seen information about islet cell transplantation, but I hadn’t realized they were put in one’s liver.
And even [...]

I Still Got Nothin’

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Okay, so I’m completely sucking at this whole blogging thing lately.  I want to blog, it’s just not happening.  Even though I’m not working yet there’s still plenty to do.  Every year (when I’m actually at my parents’ for Christmas) I get to be the hider and bearer of all things gifts.  Mom gives me [...]

I Got Nothin’

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Sadly, there isn’t much to report at the moment.
Still waiting for all my test results to come back.  Should be sometime this week.  I thought I’d be stressing out far more than I am – Lord knows I hate waiting for anything, but I’ve been too busy to even worry about it.  Saturday saw a [...]

Traumatized by Vampires

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Okay, so this morning’s blood draw wasn’t nearly as traumatic as the last time I had it done when my blood sugar dropped and I nearly passed out.  As a matter of fact, it was quite the joy.  The people were friendly and reassuring, AND the person who drew my blood had her nose pierced, [...]

*Sigh*

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Motivation is at an all-time low.
I hurt all over.
I’m exhausted.
Is NOT the flu, swine or common-garden variety flu.
Seriously, this sucks.
Have a doctor’s appointment today to try and discern the problem.
Am sure vamps will be involved.
Hopefully what I think is wrong will actually be the case.  If so, can be treated and I can get myself [...]
