It has been a very confusing week, and it is only Wednesday.
On Monday, we went to see Jumanji. It was as stupid and funny as expected. However, I completely lost my mind after that. I haven't felt comfortable watching video in years, and apparently, there is some reason for this, as I just felt terrible after. I had let the general feeling that it is probably an attitude problem rather than a physical problem convince me that I just needed to get over my video discomfort, and I was wrong.
On Tuesday, I felt mostly better and actually managed to finally get my three month blood test (for my average blood sugar). I also had my vitamin A and E tested, since I have this rash which is supposed to be related to vitamin A and E deficiencies. I increased my spinach consumption to see if it would help, since I always feel better after eating spinach.
Today, I was starting to have (IBS?) stomach pain as I prepared to head out to tai chi, so I decided to skip it. I managed to go out briefly after lunch, but I feel just amazingly awful. My brain was doing the unpleasant short-circuity thing, which clearly didn't make me feel well. I ate some almonds, which helped, but now I feel bad (in a different way from earlier) and have a headache (could be hormonal). I have an uncomfortable prickly heat feeling too. I would love it if this was the start of menopause, but I have been told that it isn't coming soon.
Is this entirely hormones? Entirely movie fallout? Entirely the result of having had blood taken yesterday? Related to too much spinach (I do eat a LOT of spinach)? Stress about school eventually starting? Stress about eventually having to get a new passport? Just my brain leaking out my ears for no reason? Did I overdo yesterday?
Eventually, my blood test results will come back, and that will answer a couple of questions. I'll go back to my previous quantity of spinach and see if that helps. I'm going to be okay, but I hate feeling sick, so when I don't know what to do, I start to panic. Since I'm pretty much useless right now, I'm going to go to bed. I always feel better in the morning.
