lovely health problems...

well, where to begin....

my insomnia is acting up again. caused me to miss two of my classes yesterday, so not fun. didn't fall asleep until sometime around 6AM so slept straight through the alarm at 7AM. couldn't risk pulling an all-nighter and missing the first history class by crashing in the afternoon. so missed my linguistics class and one of my english classes, but woke up in time for the history class. i took some tylenol PM last night, so i finally got more than four hours of sleep. been making do with -4 of sleep each night for the last week and a half. hopefully, after a few days of taking tylenol PM i can go back to my 5-6 hours a night schedule.

spent the morning and the afternoon in the emergency room today. i don't have a doctor down here at school, so had to go to the emergency room. was not fun, took forever. i've been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. it is apparently why i have no feeling in two of my fingers and part of my palm (on the left hand). it feels totally funky. today is the fourth day of the funkiness. i have been prescribed some meds to try and get the inflammation of the nerves down (if i understood all of this stuff correctly). anyway, something called Naproxen. never heard of it. i have to do research tonight and figure out what all of this stuff is, both the meds and the syndrome.

i should also say, that i am a chicken, and dragged calichan with me to the ER. ::sweatdrop:: i will get over my fear of the unknown, eventually, maybe, in a few centuries...
