Yesterday I went back to the doctors. I'm still feeling sick some mornings/evenings and I'm totally exhausted all the time. As a normally healthy 21 year old, this isn't good and 3 months down the line I should be bloody better by now!

So I'm off to the hospital in a few minutes for 10 blood tests. I'm having the standard full blood count amongst tests for liver function, kidneyts, the thyroid gland, for diabetes and glandular fever and a few other things! I'm going to have an arm like a junkie, bleeding like a watering can! :-)

I've also been signed off work for 2 weeks. Which is crazy. I'm going up to my parents for a while to have a break. It's a relief in a way as it gives me plenty of time to properly relax, get away from everything. I'll recouperate and give my body time to get back to full health. It does seem like I'm being expelled or something though, like I'm being really naughty.

I've got things to be doing at work and I feel guilty about taking this leave, but that's outweighed by the fact I need to relax and I'd rather take 2 weeks time out than have another 3 to 4 months of what I've been through already. In the long term it's for the best.

Anyone know where the blood test section of Lister Hospital is?
