Sick

So I haven't been feeling 100% for the past three weeks or so. Yesterday my headache got so bad I went home from work early. So rather than explaining everything to everyone who asks, I am going to link everyone to this entry, lol.

Symptoms:

• Headache Daily for about the past three weeks. Some days worse than others, but it's been really bad since Sunday. Yesterday it got so bad I have to leave work. I got a bit dizzy and couldn't focus or concentrate.


• Extreme fatigue. I seem like I can't enough sleep. It's gotten so bad that I'm having a hard time staying awake at work. Yes, I am getting enough sleep at night, and napping while I can when I'm home. I'm still wiped out.


• Chills. Off and on for the past 2 or 3 days.


• Low-grade fever. Don't know for how long as I never thought to take my temp.


• According to my Doc, I have enlarged glands and my liver and spleen seem tender.


• BP and pulse is good.


• About 2 weeks ago I had an awful runny nose.


• I have a bit of a sore throat, but not too bad.

Ruled out by the Doc Today:

• Mono. Test came back negative.


• Pregnancy. (Could be causing fatigue, and needed to find out if I was so she could prescribe me something.)


• All of my cell counts and everything came back fine.

Action taken today:

• Tramadol injection given in my bum to help relieve the headache


• Prescription filled for 800mg of ibuprofen to help


• Influenza test taken will know results tomorrow


• Thyroid and other blood tests taken. Will know results on Friday


• Told to rest and sleep a lot.


• Can't go back to work until Friday at noon at the earliest.

Course of Action:

• Influenza test results back tomorrow.


• Appointment on Friday morning for other results.


• If the Doc's can't find anything wrong I may have to go for an MRI/Catscan if the headaches don't ease up.

Bottom line:

• The Doc's don't know what's wrong with me.

At this point and time:

• I'm feeling pretty good. Headache is gone and I made supper tonight. Now feeling really tired. I'm hoping and praying the headache stays away.


• I still feel clammy/like I have a fever.


• I'm feeling a bit nauseous/upset stomach and don't know why.
