I haven't been feeling well this week (physically), it felt like I was sort of getting a cold but not really; mostly I've just been really, really fatigued, so needless to say I'm quite worried. I feel fine otherwise except for joint pain (which went away) and now dizziness. Except I don't recall feeling dizziness with leukemia before, and quick googling leads me to info that joint pain, dizziness, and extreme fatigue are all major side effects of the Mirena IUD. So, maybe it's just that? (Hopefully). I mean, I DID just get a blood test a little over 2 weeks ago. That's not THAT long ago, right? And I feel pretty OK. I don't feel sick or anything, just really sleepy all the time. I don't think that's how I felt when I actually had leukemia. And I haven't had any night sweats or anything like that. No flu or even a cold, despite the fact all my friends seem to be getting sick and all the kids at school are sick, too. My white blood cells SEEM to be in pretty good shape. I dunno. I'm worried. I hate this anxiety!
Speaking of anxiety, I went to see my old psychiatrist today. I say 'old' as he was the one I had before I got sick. I hadn't seen him sicne I was diagnosed so I had a lot to tell him about, naturally. He's setting me up with a therapist, FINALLY. (It seems like I'm not seeing the therapist the hospital assigned me anymore because he pretty much only sees in-patients.)
I'm craving olives & mayo right now. My mom makes these amazing chopped egg sandwiches and she puts olives and mayo in them and that's what I'm craving. YUM.
