| after updating my fb 4 times in 11 minutes... I'm moving it to here. |
[Feb. 3rd, 2009|12:44 pm] |
finally made a dr. appt yesterday and was able to get in this morning.
Why do I say finally? Well because on January 17th I woke up with a swollen tongue, evidence of bleeding and drooling on my pillow case and pj's(funny I often don't wear them but did that night) and went immediately to an urgent care clinic.
I was prescribed prednisone and amoxicillin and told to "take your vitamins!" vitamin c and a daily multi
I knew I needed to make an appt. with an actual primary care dr. but put it off... I do that, put things off... all the time.
Yesterday I woke up and took some tylenol for my headache at 630 ish and then woke up and puked my guts out at 8ish.... I went back to bed trying to recover for leaving for work at 1pm.... I wasn't recovered.. I felt like crap hadn't been able to convince myself to eat more than a piece of toast and had only had water and tea to drink. so I called to make a dr. appt... there was a student there, he wants to do family practice so I'm glad to say he did well... not only did we talk about al the stuff going on but Dr. Diana called me on the fact that I haven't had a full exam in .... 4 years... bad me.... so all kinds of blood, allergy tests, my first mammogram, and a scheduled physical... that I just realized conflicts with my a+ cert class... I'll have to change that.... oh and a prescription for an epi pen... in case the swollen tongue thing is worse next time...
so a productive and long morning...now off to work! |

Oh damn! *HUGZ* Take care, please!
I had my tongue and throat swell closed on me once for no reason I could figure out. I had to carry an epi pen for a year in case it happened again. It didn't, and I was sorely tempted to use the pen just to see what the adrenaline rush would be like.
mammogram, really? i have a history of breast cancer and my doctor and the ob/gyn i won't ever go back to didn't seem to think it was necessary. you can't be that much older than me. (actually, i thought we were the same age)
OMG, are you ok?!
any ideas what set your body off? what'd the doc say?
