Concerns about tomorrow

[crowdog66]

Tomorrow morning I'll be going to see my GP and get a twelve hour fasting blood test to check on my three month blood sugar levels.

I remain concerned about the chronic fatigue; I slept for over twelve hours last night, was up for about an hour and a half earlier today, and then collapsed into bed again and slept until 5:30 pm -- and I can still barely sit upright or keep my eyes open. Fortunately there are no signs of liver or kidney involvement (no skin color change, edema, etc). Heck, it might just be an infection that isn't presenting in any particular part of my body.

I've made up a contact list for George in the event that... well, in any event. If things go wrong and I have to be admitted to hospital, he'll be contacting folks locally and making a post here on my LJ.

Yeah, yeah, I know -- dramatic! But I've never felt quite this way before in my entire life. I feel like I could easily lie down and die, and it's not connected to depression or flu symptoms. And what's subtly disturbing is that I don't really care if I do die. At least it would mean an end to this grinding non-specific weariness.

I'm going to go and try to get some HB done. Thanks for listening.

Sounds similar to what I go through. I've been told it's diabetes related. Hopefully the dr will have answers for you. It could be as simple as needing a little more iron in your diet or a dose of antibiotics. Gotta hate those mystery symptoms!

BTW - on the psych dog listserv someone was describing the lethargic effects of Seroquel to their Hubby. She was saying how dreary she felt even when the dose was decreased. Her hubby's response? 'why don't you just lick it?'.

Thought that would make you smile :-)

"Why don't you just lick it?"

... oh, that's priceless. :-)
