Chronicles of a bummer

Apr 21, 2008 12:32

just had a medical chat with paolomedina (MD) a while ago. he had previously commented in this entry so I'm glad that he dropped by para mangamusta. and he suggested that I may have iron deficiency anemia. so I wikied IDA and looked up the symptoms. I think I scored 6 >.>
  • fatigue - my bedroom is proof
  • palpitations - also looked up its definition and this was exactly how I felt yesterday: The heart is "fluttering" in the chest... Any rapid heartbeat (or tachycardia) can give rise to this feeling. A rapid, regular fluttering in the chest may be associated with sensation of pounding in the neck as well...
  • fainting/feeling faint/lightheadedness - I felt this along with the palpitations and I was just sitting in front of the computer
  • depression - somewhat subjective but yeah, I feel I'm less lively nowadays
  • missed menstrual cycle - mine was two weeks overdue
  • heavy menstrual cycle - and my pad last night was soaking (sorry for the term)
and what the heck is "seeing bright colors"?

lopao said I could try taking iron supplementation. and for some reason we've got 3 bottles of ferrous sulfate in our medicine cabinet hehe... still tastes like blood even though it said caramel flavor. ^^;

anyway, I'll try to get some rest from now on.

I've never blogged about it but I'm currently heading the Summer Youth Sportsfest Committee here. first time to kaya sobrang pagod. organizing a big event is never easy. nakaka-pressure lang talaga dahil marami ang involved, most especially the players who are expecting a memorable summer experience. so we have to make this event special for them para worth remembering and they'll have something to look forward to every summer.

darn, I should've said no when they appointed me. (quoting swollenfoot: Joanne, isa kang HANGAAAAAAAAL!!!!) but I didn't have the perfect alibi. they knew very well that I'm currently on vacation. owel...

medyo tagilid pa sya for now but we are doing our best.

btw, I'd like to own this:


and did you know that yesterday and last saturday, I served in 5 masses in total? grabe, gospel na lang ang di ko nabasa. -_-

church, books, health
