Okay, so today wasn’t exactly fun.
After the nurse stuck the IV in my arm, I began feeling numb and my hands were spasming. Apparently, I was hyperventilating. The doctor got a paper bag for me to breathe into and that helped. The sedatives helped a lot more ’cause after that I don’t remember much of anything.
So the results: I’m not sure how much detail you want. Basically, it doesn’t look like my current problems have anything to do with weird Guatemalan parasites or anything like that, though it may have brought on my current problems.
Essentially, the doctor thinks I need to make some dietary changes. More fiber, less lactose. This will be difficult ’cause I’m on a high-cheese diet. Mac & Cheese, quesadillas, cheese toast, ramen & cheese, cheese and crackers, cheese and sausage, cheese sticks, and cheeseburgers. (This list is slightly exaggerated.) Supposedly I need to start drinking less alcohol, too. (Yup, Monday night was crazy again. Unfortunately somebody has evidence of it on their cell phone so I may post it here myself before you see it in the top 10 at YouTube.)
So hopefully eating better will fix up most of the problems. I hope like crazy it actually works. I’m just a bit scared. I would’ve prefered if it had been some bizarre parasites because then I wouldn’t have to put part of the blame on myself.
That’s it from me for now. Later.
