About a month ago, I promised you guys a post and then never delivered. I know I've mentioned having health issues and being sick, but I haven't been getting any better.
Firstly, Pie, I may have to temporarily withdraw from this RP since I can't be active enough and It's slowing everyone down. ;n; Send me a PM and we'll discuss what can be done.
I'm currently really focused on my health. I've been sick to my stomach for seemingly no reason and, so far, all of the various tests - mostly blood tests - have come back normal. I can't eat and I spend all day sick to my stomach. I have, on average, one day a week where I feel good enough to do anything and I usually use that time to catch up on chores that I normally do. For the past 1-2 months, I have been incapable of eating truly solid food. I actually spent the last two weeks being unable to eat anything but soup broth and Jello. For the past month, I've been sleeping 12+ hours a day because my medicine makes me so tired. I have no energy to exercise and I've lost roughly 7-8 lbs. in two months. It's to the point now where I am borderline severely underweight. (Apparently I grew, so I'm now 5'5" and I only weight about 107-108.)
When I first got sick, I spent a week throwing up so my doctor gave me Ondansetron, which is heavy-duty anti-nausea medicine. Normally you only need 4 mg but the doctor deemed it necessary to give me 8 mg - the absolute most that the human body can handle without serious side effects. Even that hasn't been making me better. I have to take at least one a day for me to even be able to function. My last doctor thought I had diabetes, tested me for it, and then told me not to worry about anything when the test came back negative. I went to one of my mom's doctors and they're doing a lot more tests to try and figure out what's wrong. They refilled my Ondansetron prescription and gave me a prescription of some even stronger anti-nausea medication since the Ondansetron doesn't always help. I also had to go on some heavy-duty acid-reflux medicine, as well. The doctor says that there's a possibility that I may need to have an upper GI endoscopy.
On top of all of this, my mom had eye surgery and works all day at her store. Normally I help out but now I'm stuck at home so my brother goes to help. Throw in a lovely array of mental issues - namely mild OCD, moderate depression, and General Anxiety Disorder (GAD) - and I'm a lovely basket case of health issues.
Sorry for such a long post. I'm just sick and tired of being so sick and inactive.
TL;DR I have a lot of mental and physical health issues going on that are getting progressively worse and no one can figure out what's going on. :C
