I have Bill Young Syndrome!!!

Apr 24, 2007 20:12

No one will know what that means, so let me explain. No, it's too much, I will sum up.

Bill is a friend in CT, and I think in July of every year he gets very very sick for one or two (or three?) days, then it disappears. Same time every year. He's allergic to SOMETHING that blooms near where he lives.

So it's April 2007, and M3 is unable to sleep because she can't breathe because her tonsils are the size of matzah balls. Everytime she drifts off and her body relaxes her throat collapses and triggers gasping, snoring, terrified awakening. She's incredibly exhausted, doesn't have much of an appetite and, for this round of April Madness, every single joint in her body aches like a big aching thing. Ache as in makesmewannacry ache. From every piece of my spine to my TOES, with my knees and elbows being particularly sore.

What time last year did this happen, she wonders, as she is driven to the doctor's office. Why, I'll look it up at home, she thinks, and sure enough, finds an entry on her LJ on April 25th citing her swollen throat, exhaustedness and general ickiness for a reason for stopping a physically intensive temp job!

AMAZING.

I've never had allergies before so when I get insurance I have to get tested. I tried looking at April of 2005 but it was wild and crazy with Jessica ranting and I'm not in the mood. There's an entry at the beginning of April citing extreme tiredness, and knowing M3 Syndrome it starts with two weeks of sore throat, culminating in lethargy, pains and breathing problems from tonsils.

Give me a degree, I'm a fuckin' doctor.

Tomorrow I go back to work (with a doctor's excuse, how HIGH SCHOOL!), tired, thirsty, aching and cranky, to do shit. Yay, shit.
