After some deep consideration I have decided that I am just taking a couple days off from work.
I'm still looking for another job and quitting but I don't want to go out with them knowing they got to me.
I went to my doctor today.
I love her.
I have never had such a great doctor.
I've been seeing her for just about 2 years and she just has a way about her. I can talk to her about anything. I have been suffering through a pretty nasty cold thing so she gave me some medicine for that.
I then started talking to her about how I've been feeling lately.
I had done a web search to try to figure out why I'm so exhausted and achy all the time and read about adrenal fatigue.
When I mentioned this to her she didn't make me feel silly or disregard me, she said it's possible and schedule me to have blood work done tomorrow morning.
I guess 8am is the only time of day they can take the blood to check my cortisol and Vitamin B levels so I have a nice early appointment.
She then asked me if I snore, when I said yes she checked my throat again and announced she it fairly certain I have sleep apnea.
She then goes on to explain that I have a very crowed throat (is that a technical term?) and tells me sleep apnea is a disorder where everything basically get's in the way while I'm sleeping and I stop breathing for about 20 seconds. When this happens my brain sends a signal that cause me to jerk and basically jump start my breathing. She looks at my chart quickly and shakes her head, almost laughing at herself, and says "I can't believe I hadn't seen this all along. Sleep apnea would cause all of this."
So blood work and a sleep study will be in my future. We shall see.
Stress can seriously damage you.
I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired because of stress. I just want to feel... Good. I can't remember the last time I felt good and that's pretty messed up.
