You Learn Something New Everyday....

Ok, well maybe not everyday, but this saying popped into my head the other day while I got an over load of information at the doctor's office.

I had to go to the doctor for several reasons. Most urgent reason, I had a UTI. At the time it was just a guess, but they confirmed my suspicions. Two, I had to once again, ask for some relief for my period symptoms (this was where most of the information over load came from), and three, I'm not sleeping well at all. No matter how tired I am, I just don't get sleep. Not even cuddling helped, which is odd, because it's proven that cuddling helps, even if it's just a friend.

So the information over load was this. I told my new doctor all the stuff I told my old doctor. I get extremely tired close to and while I am on my period. I have severe back aches, cramps, and headaches. While all these aches are common, they aren't supposed to be debilitating, and mine sometimes are. Also, fatigue as bad as mine also is not common. So my doctor is guess I have endomitriosis, or at least I think that's what she said. The fatigue is most likely caused by low iron levels. So guess what? I got to have a bunch of blood drawn. Not only did she want a healthy blood sample to get an idea what my healthy blood levels are like, she needed more to check the iron and some other things. My blood is going to confirm or refute her hunch. Anyways, what I learned about endomitriosis from her is that it can cause all these horrible things and on the bright side (no I'm not being sarcastic when I say this, just so you know) I might not be able to have children. I'm perfectly fine with this. I'm not really a baby person. When I get a bit older, and hopefully have plenty of money, I want to adopt older kids that people generally don't want. The ones right on the cusp of being ineligible for adoption because they are so old. So yay, I might not be able to get accidentally pregnant because I might not be able to get pregnant at all! It can also cause lots of other things, but I'm sure you're tired of the biology lesson on female anatomy gone wrong. If not, I suggest you google it because I am tired of giving you a biology lesson.

Another suggestion for the day:
Drink lots of water. You never know when your doctor will want to take your blood and if you're dehydrated your veins are smaller and makes it harder on them. I would know, it happened to me. On top of that, when they did find a vein capable of taking blood from, it played rolly polly, but I don't think drinking water will help that. So for your sake, I hope your veins aren't the rolly polly kind of veins.

This has been another life experience shared with you from a girl who dreams of being a rock star. Have a good rest of your morning/day/night or whatever phase of the day it is. Tune in next time for a rambling you'll probably forget soon after reading,
