Sitting on my chest

Sep 12, 2006 10:36

So, yeah, I have dangerously low iron. I'm slowly coming out of weakened stupor that it caused. I was seriously dizzy and weak and disoriented for like a month. And every once in a while, I would get the very special feeling that a large man with little feet was standing on my chest. That was from not having enough oxygen in my body.

The doctor that misdiagnosed me is a total slag. She wanted to talk about how I should lose fifty pounds. Ms. Doctor Lady, I know I'm chubby. But honestly, you need to pay attention to someone when they tell you that being fat isn't making them sick. You are a she-bastard. I want to shove the South Beach Diet that you seem to love so much up your ass until you vomit bacon. Also, I don't need to be twenty pounds below my suggested BMI. I think there's something wrong with your head.

Luckily, someone finally paid attention to me but not before it got scary. I nearly collapsed at work last Wednesday. I was blue-ish. Went to an emergency clinic where the doctor listened to me. And she diagnosed me correctly. I'm on iron pills now. The constipation everyone is warning me about hasn't happened yet. And I went to a non clinic doctor on my insurance plan yesterday. He is going to start prodding me to figure out my low iron cause in about two weeks.

It's nice to kind of feel like myself again though.
