Medical Issues
Have bronchitis right now. That's not fun. I just took some cough medicine so that I'll be able to get some sleep tonight rather than continuously coughing. I'm not really supposed to take cough medicine since it's important to cough and get it up so it doesn't develop into pnemonia, but I really can't afford the sleep.
Also finally decided to suck it up and go to the doctor about my feminine health issues. I've had my period every month, around the 23rd, since I was thirteen. And then all of a sudden it disappeared for two months. Then it reemerged and I assumed that it was back to normal. However, this will be the fourth month without getting it and I'm getting quite concerned. I'm clearly not pregnant. And doing research has only made me considerably more concerned.
I think, honestly, that I might have polycystic ovary syndrome. It would explain the recent high blood pressure and I do have the discoloration on certain parts of my skin that is a symptom. Plus, it can contribute to depression and cause weight gain. It could also be a hormonal issue.
I'm just worried about any problem down there because my mother had cervical cancer when she was in her twenties and there's a hereditary disposition toward it.
*sighs*
