<< Sullen Vent of Half-Awake Diseased-ness >>
Because I just need to freaking complain.
I'm always cold. I'm always tired. I really, really, really want some ice to eat ; . ;
The previous facts have led the good doctor to conclude that I have anemia.
The iron supplements that are supposed to help my anemia not only made me sick to my stomach, but :
- I cannot consume bread, milk, or any dairy product one hour before or two hours after taking them
and
- I cannot lay down for thirty minutes after taking them
The nausea lasted until the next day, when I was at stupid school, where I could hardly lift my head off the desk because I was so weak and tired.
After suffering through over half of the school day, I finally dragged myself to the nurse's office. Because I was struggling not to start crying and pass out on the floor, she (thank god) let me go home without a fuss.
I got home and immediately conked out for five hours straight. When I finally woke up, I had a minor fever and a throat so sore I could hardly choke down a sip of water. The coughing, needless to say, did not do any good.
The fever didn't go away, so I had to haul off to the doctor's (again), where he told me I had the flu. The medicine he gave me was okay, but it nothing to help my worst symtoms (i.e. the sore throat and coughing).
To Sum It All Up :
I have like a billion medicines to take
My throat hurts like crap and people keep trying to talk to me
I can't hardly eat anything I like for a good portion of the day (when I can eat at all)
I can only just recently stay awake for more than an hour without collapsing back asleep
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANT SOME ICE :(
