Damn it, I'm a doctor, not a blogger!
After fasting since like 8 pm last night, (I could have eaten after that but my stomach would have none of that talk.) I went to the doctor this morning and finally gave some blood vials at like 9:30 and got to eat at almost 10. So yeah, 14 hour fast was suck.
So Hope and I described my symptoms to the doctor. I also told him I was taking Cipro for like 30 days. (Finally finished the last pill today.) He looked up the possible "complications" from Cipro and pretty much they matched almost exactly. In rare cases Cipro can cause nervousness, paranoia, increased sensitivity to caffeine, and hypoglycemia. He said in the 15 years since he's been prescribing Cipro, he's seen the side effects show up in 2 people. Apparently, I'm lucky enough to be number 2. Maybe I am one in a million. :) I won't get any results from my blood work until next week. Although, at this point it looks like it might have just been the medication. And hopefully now that I'm done with it, I won't have any more problems.
Of course, now I'm dealing with the consequences of fasting for so long and now trying to reregulate my system back to normal. I'm getting a little bit of the jitters and anxiety and I have NERO coming up tonight. Hopefully, I will be back to normal soon enough. Bah...
In happier news, I saw Star Trek last night with Hope, Jason, Jill, Heather, and Kas. I loved the movie. It was really great. I thought all the actors did a great job. The story was fairly simple, but worked well. Plus, I love anything from J.J. Abrams. He's my hero :) Also, I like seeing movies with lots of friends. Especially ones who aren't afraid to make comments during the movie. It just makes it so much more fun. That was one of the things I loved about the drive-in. You can be just about as loud as you want and not worry much about disturbing other people. I wish there was a drive in a little closer than Ennis.
Anyway, I'm sorry to everyone for having to put up with me lately. Hopefully, I'll be back to my old lovable self soon.
