Ongoing Illness

If you've been following my health recently you'll know that I've not been well. Over the past month or so the nausea and light headed symptoms haven't gone and I'm feeling far more motivated than I was. I really don't think now that stress/depression has much to do with how I'm feeling. Whilst I won't rule out it could be a contributing factor, I'm quite sure the issue is physical.

So I went back to the doctors yesterday. I explained all this and got a wild stab in the dark back. Apparantly the problem could be that I've got some inbalance of acid in my stomach. I've been given a month's course of tablets to try out.

I wasn't overly happy with that as for starters it's just a guess and the doctor admitted that and secondly even if it is that, I've been told that the tables will stop me feeling bad. That's not what I want, I want the cause to be resolved, not the symptoms supressed.

However, whether it be the placebo effect or medicine at work, I did wake up this morning feeling much better than usual. I didn't need to take things slowly whilst I settled myself down. In fact, it was quite invigorating being able to get up and shower straight away (even if I was late out of bed).

I can see why you'd feel a little ambivalent about the medicine, but it's great to hear that you felt better than usual this morning! Fingers crossed that this continues. :)
