The Week Continues

So I still feel like crap pretty much. Only difference is that it seems to have gotten a bit worse the past couple days. I just feel completely drained (even to the point where I don’t feel like I have the energy to even move) yet I haven’t had any other traditional symptoms of being sick. I’m just dead to the world.

My current state of “out-of-it”-ness isn’t good either, since I have my first big presentation of the semester tomorrow, and then a huge Networking test on Thursday. Neither are going to be fun (especially not Networking, since I missed the last class because of being at the doctor). I’m sure I’ll do fine on the presentation, because it’s just I4I and I’ve done a presentation almost exactly like this (same content too – it’s an ongoing project) three times now, and I’m presenting with one of my other team members. Networking I’m not so sure about, since I like the class, but we have covered so much material up until now, and with this Professor, it’s really hard to tell what the important things are. I’m just going to have to study 5 times as hard as I normally do… That is if I can stay awake.

As far as the doctor’s went.. One problem (hopefully) fixed by switching the BC pills I’m on to one with only a 4-day placebo. Basically, she thinks my body was kicking back in and producing hormones in those 7 days, and then it was going through withdrawl, hence the pain. The other problem of getting back on my medication isn’t so easy. I have to go back in and get more bloodwork done before Saturday so that in two weeks (On my SPRING BREAK -gah-) I can go back and meet with her to determine if she can put me on them, or if I have to see an endocrinologist for it instead. Luckly, if it is the second option, she can refer me to the one right in her division and I should be able to get in sooner.

I’m really banking on this, since she mentioned today that one of the possible reasons for me feeling ill and crappy / feeling hungry all the time could be that my Insulin levels have gotten really out of wack. I’m really hoping that’s not the case, since that would mean things have gotten WORSE than they were. But all I can do right now is sit back and hope.
