On Monday I went to see my new endocrinologist. With all my clothes on, I weighed 111.6. Not good. I need to eat more but those stupid iron pills I was on either made me lose my appetite or nauseas. On top of that, I was so constipated that every move I made was painful. I couldn't sit, I couldn't lay down, I couldn't think, and I couldn't sleep.
So I stopped taking the iron pills. But now I have high blood pressure so I'm on meds to alleviate stress on my kidneys. I'm worried about my kidneys. I don't want to ever go back on dialysis. EVER. He also found a muscle spasm near my spinal column and put me on muscle relaxers.
There's one minor problem with these two new pills. I'm constantly sleepy. I take a muscle relaxer in the morning and within an hour I'm goo. It's hard to walk, to think, to laugh, to smile. Then at 3pm I take the high blood pressure pills and *boom* I'm out for four hours straight. Then I take another muscle relaxer an hour before I go to bed so I can sleep.
At the rate I'm going, I'm good for nothing. I sleep most of the day or lay on the couch watching TV until I fall asleep. When I do get out of the house it takes a lot of energy to walk and I walk slowly. Half the time I feel like I'm floating about. It sucks.
Thursday, I went to David's Bridal to try on my bridesmaid dress and found out that I'm down to a size 2. Well, the size 2 was still a little too big on me. So now I need to gain about 10 pounds before April so I can fit into the dress. I've never been this small in my life and it scares me. I'm hardly hungry and when I do eat, I don't eat much. But on the brightersie I'm up to 5 cups of water a day.
I can't wait until I'm back to normal, if that is even possible.
