The Never Ending Series of Mysterious Illnesses

Friday, May 30th, 2008

So I went to my specialist this morning, and after two very uncomfortable procedures, there’s nothing wrong with me. Which doesn’t explain why I keep getting very long-lasting, painful infections. I cried almost the whole way back to work (Mike was driving). It’s sort of ironic that I would be crying after getting the news that I’m in perfect health, but the frustrating bit is that it doesn’t explain these maladies. I’m just not sure what to do with myself.

One thing that I did do was end this ridiculous bladder diet, since it didn’t appear to be doing jack squat anyways. So now I’m happily back to caffeine, tomatoes, and chocolate. As far as things stand now, I’m just waiting and seeing what happens next with my crazy body. Regardless, I’m feeling a little cheated out of the whole specialist thing, even though I really liked her. I’d like to get a second opinion, but I dread going through those tests again.

Beaten.

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

So I guess I shouldn’t have bragged about how long it had been since I was “traditionally” sick. A year ago I had that mysterious illness that kept me in bed for like two weeks, then I was sick a couple days in September because of allergies, then a couple of bladder infections and bouts of insomnia, but other than those random things, I’ve been the picture of health. Sure hasn’t seemed like it, but the last time I was sick with a cold was February in 2007. Of course, I hate missing all this work (even though I don’t really like work, but I’d rather choose to stay home and actually do fun things rather than lay in bed barely able to breathe) and I know they are getting frustrated with me. I’m currently using up my vacation time, so if I want to do any weddings this summer I’m going to have to work some comp time. Anyways, I’ve got some blog posts I’m working on but since I’ve been sick and stuff I haven’t done much besides watch Dr Phil and blow my nose. On the plus side, Suzi is delighted that I’m home because she gets to snuggle with me.
