My body may well be rebelling against my attempts to get out more. Sinuses are trying to kill me, and now I have a fever (a larger one than the low fever we've been running on and off for two months). Had to cancel a meeting with the father and the HR woman from his work who was going to check into jobs in other places for us. Very annoying. listlessCurrent Music: DJ Zebra - Do You Want My Sharona? Also, we've done some research on the internet and it seems that the pills we were put on for the low blood pressure/dizzy spells may be causing our insomnia...have an appointment with that doctor on tuesday, so we'll ask him about it. If it comes down to the choice of dizzy spells or no sleep, we've decided we're going to go with the insomnia. It'd be nice to not have to have either, though. ...my juice tastes like bacon. WTF? |

Hopefully the last for a long time. okayCurrent Music: Bare Naked Ladies - Alcohol The pills appear to be working, as the dizzy spells have gone away almost completely (I do occasionally get them still, but usually not more than a few times a week, if that). I have even tried smoking and drinking to see if it brings them back (as both would make them worse), but it does not (aside from normal issues with drinking, of course). So it seems the mystery illness really is an issue with low blood pressure/not enough blood getting to the brain. Managed to get it fixed in a little under a year ^^; Hopefully it'll stay working, and I plan to ask the doctor when I go in for a follow up next month about the "don't take for four hours before bed" issue with the pills and how needed that is. Because that's fucking annoying. |

...I feel a bit odd. Not sure how to explain it. I think its physical, but I'm uncertain. Also rather hot, even though we shouldn't be because we didn't do too much. Finally went shopping and got Matt "crisps" so he'll leave me the fuck alone about it, bread so ba is no longer tempted to ear jam straight out of the jar, and sugar to please just about everyone in here. Also gatorade, because we're supposed to stay well hydrated on these new pills. Speaking of which, I think the dizziness/lightheadedness has gone down some but not completely gone away. I didn't expect it to do much for a few weeks anyway, so we'll see. drainedCurrent Music: 50 cent vs the verve - rock phenomenon remix I think perhaps I managed to wear myself out just by shopping. How utterly annoying. I used to have much more stamina than this. Un, anyway, ba made an LJ at ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} ba_cirape but it remains to be seen if he'll use it or continue using this. I don't care either way, but setting it up gave him something to do. |

Oookay, so...10 months after the dizzy spells started, we may now have an answer. Dangerously low blood pressure. contentCurrent Music: Bloodhound Gang - Mope Saw the cardiologist today and were told, in no uncertain terms, that we "failed" our tilt test. Which, in retrospect, is something we should have guessed since we passed out during it and at one point the nurse doing it expressed concern over a drop in blood pressure. We've been given pills that will hopefully help. I'll update again in a few days to say if it does anything. If it does, and I hope that they do, then things will finally take a step towards the better. Getting the stress from being sick for almost a year off our backs should help with stress from other things. Not that we have many sources of stress aside from normal Depression now, anyway. Otherwise...not much going on. |

...I want to read my friends list but my brain has died. spinnyCurrent Music: Stabbing Westward - Haunting Me Cool. Its been pretty much determined that the pills we're using to help mood stabilization before the new mood stabilizers kick in are making the lightheadedness/dizzy spells worse. Which is exceptional suck, because those pills were originally prescribed to stop the goddamned dizzy spells. But we bump the dosage up on the new mood stabilizers up again next wed and the doc says they should start to show an affect by then. My god, I hate this Depression shit as much as I can hate anything (which is really not that much, compared to a normal person). At least I managed to get out and go shopping today. Not much, but I have bread so ba will stop bothering me about eating jam straight from the jar and coffee which seems to make everyone happy. |

...Seriously. The dizzy spells were getting better for awhile, but now they're starting to pick up again. I'm, like, completely lost right now. Just staring into space. We have a chat open but can't seem to follow it. weirdCurrent Music: TV - Wheel of Fortune Oh well >> I'll live. Just want to complain. Mm. Sorta bored, though. I should ping people. Or maybe other system members ping people...if we can think enough. Mostly its me and ba up right now, with Matt and Dizzy sorta on stand-by (they're there, but not quite fronting and a bit more spacey than me). edit: we seem to be a bit more bitchy/snippy lately. I shall blame stress. Its actually quite annoying. |

is really not fun. I'm not entirely certain what the issue is--we fear we may be hormonal again, but the period was on the 12 (however it started AND stopped that day, which is highly odd for us and was also the date of surgery, so perhaps that did something?), or it may simply be stress or something else. Dizzy and Matt have been edgy or moody the last few days, and the sleep scheduling has been off for a week otherwise. Trying to reset it...tempted to stay up until tomorrow night (in fact, I even have coffee now. At 2am. Go me.), but I hope not to resort to that. awakeCurrent Music: Rammstein - Seemann Dizzy spells seem exceptionally high today >.< I hate them. 'Dizzy' is far from the correct word, but I can't find a good one to describe this. Hopefully something will happen with the cardiologist, even though they have yet to call us to set up the 'tilt test' as they are supposed to do. Hopefully it will be done soon, as they only have until 3/4 for the followup apointment and we go back to work on the 27th. Mostly we are bored. Perhaps I'll find a video game to kill time. Last night, however, after getting up due to panic!insomnia we were able to go to bed after another few hours up, so I may just do that instead. I am also spamming Matt's dragons here, instead of in his journal, simply because I /can/. Please for the clicking.     Everything else grew up. If you want to see the scroll, Matt should have links in his recent entries. Or ask I guess. Whatever. |

In fact, it has been for most of the time since we had surgery. Belly is doing much better, just hurts some if we stretch or move too much or poke at the incisions (or the cats try to sit there >.<). Still, I took a percocet and will see how long it takes me to pass out or not, as it hasn't been putting me to sleep in the past few days. coldCurrent Music: Mystery Science Theater 3000 - MST3k-Danger to myself & others We have confirmed that I do, in fact, have a heart in this body. And it does beat. I watched it on the ultrasound machine when we went to the cardiologist today (she looked at it for about 30-45 minutes...is that normal?). Confirmed that, yes, blood pressure is sometimes in dangerously low areas (but, of course, it was at 'good' when they checked it there) and my pulse/heart rate may or may not be odd. One more test to do with them that they'll need to call me about then I see them again on 3/4. On 3/7 I have the follow up for the surgery. Busy week, I guess. Finally managed to pick up the cookies that gentle_yuki sent us...got a slip that said they were at the post office on friday (because apparently the larger boxes in the mail box that boxes are to be put in and then the key left in our slot are actually just for decoration). With only minimal difficulty because they were addressed to Matt and, obviously, my ID doesn't say that (man accepted "character that I roleplay" easily enough). I guess if the post office is gonna be stupid and horde my boxes instead of leave them where they're supposed to we'll have to remember to have the legal name put on them in the future...pity. It amused Matt to get a box in his own name.Now I idle again. Joy. Also posting Matt's little dragons because I can. If it annoys anyone that they're not under a cut, just comment and we'll probably change it.      Not at one is at adult stage or even has wings (though two won't get wings) as of this posting, and that annoys me. Grow up, stupid dragons. (Oh, and please click them or whatever) |

Alright, now that I'm more awake and back at home... soreCurrent Music: MDFMK - Torpedoes Surgery went well. Our abdomen is sore, but its too be expected. They gave us percocet, so that helps a lot ;P Other than having to wait an hour in the pre-op room cause the op room we were gonna be in was in use and that operation was running late, everything seems to have gone well. They say we can go back to work on monday, but the leave of absence that was already put in is through the 26th, so we're hoping to spend next week looking for a new job and this week...sleeping, or something. ...my shoulder hurts, but I can't figure out if its due to me laying on it or not. If it keeps up for a few days I'll have to call the doctor about it. Otherwise, and minus the obvious sore, we're good. Edit: I'm also gonna post Matt's dragon eggs here too. Cause...bored and he wants to and no reason to make a new post for it. He asks that you click them (if you haven't already) so that they don't die and haunt your dreams. |

...I do believe that the doctor just told us that we may have to give up on finding what's wrong with us and learn to live with it. He also continues to insist that its mental, even with the father's instance that it is not. If I see him again I will explain why it cannot be mental since our mental states are never the same. irateCurrent Music: TV - The Simpsons He's sending us to a cardiologist, however. Perhaps that will do something. Now, I think, I shall be finding a way to release rage without actually killing anything. |

Still no idea on the mystery illness. I'll update after we've been off the trileptal longer, but I still don't expect it to change anything. fullCurrent Music: MDFMK - Missing Time Surgery to remove the gall bladder is on feb 12th (that makes two years in a row that we've had surgery in February). I'll be taking a week or two off after work then. Seems work is indeed keeping me on, so I'm canceling the job interviews for next week and will hold off on searching for something new till after surgery. Off today because I asked the woman to write me a note and it said to excuse me for the whole day so...eh, might as well take the whole day off. I was going to sleep, but I feel somewhat awake now. Ah well. I should really update more myself. Matt updates at his journal all the time and sort of takes away anything I have to say. Can't say I really care, though. |

My brains seem broken again. No way we can drive all the way to work...I half wish we still lived right next to it, but that wasn't possible with the money situation and this little one room place with everything on the same story is much better. (Now that the heat and hot water are working ;P) So...off work for one more day. (We're actually off tomorrow too, because we were stupid enough to let a friend cover our entire shift. Go us.) After Ohayocon I have to start working for real, and hopefully covering some shifts in the morning to try and make up for all the time lost. But school starts on Jan 7th (The day AFTER Ohayocon...so we may not make it), so we'll be fucked with that too. Hopefully using our brainz more will help kick start them. We did so some yesterday by playing Matt's puzzle game on the DS on break and it helped before I completely died. drainedCurrent Music: Godsmack - Keep Away Stomach is also trying to kill me due to hormones (I think? Perhaps its something else. I'll have to check the mail to see if the test results have gotten back), so even if we made it to work...neh. That's not a fun thing. Also Kagi is going insane and keeps trying to eat wires, so we need to supervise her today >.> Damn cat. Put in to take Matt's birthday off at work (we put the reason as 'its a friend's birthday,' which is slightly amusing to me), because we have 7 vacation hours left and it won't let us use them on Jan 7th. Matt doesn't think he'll do much for his birthday (Feb the 1st), but its a friday so it'll give us a three day weekend. Elsewise...I'm really doing okay. We're sort of dreading getting back into the swing of things in Jan, but mostly things are alright. Just the dizzy spells act up around 'that time of the month' so...meh. Will have to contact a doctor about them once the test results are in too. |

My stomach has been trying to kill me for the past three or four days...so I'm staying home again. We'll have to return to work tomorrow, but hopefully it should be better by then. I blame hormones, really. They hate us like that. brain deadCurrent Music: Rammstein - Das alte Leid Mm. Doctor did some tests yesterday, but seemed more interested in the stomach issues than the dizzy spells. I really don't know what to say. I hate this problem. I would say more, but I managed to forget what it was. Nice. |

So we might have mono. Or might not. Because it was thought that perhaps we did back in High School (or was it middle school? Its uncertain). blahCurrent Music: (Weird Al) - Rocky XIII Theme Test results from the stuff done on Nov 16th are /finally/ back. Says no oddness in the thyroid other than it being slightly low (which is normal). Possibly oddness with zinc and some other stuff that went over my head because I don't have any medical training. Going to the family doctor (wee~ we're going backwards in the chain) tomorrow--which means missing work but it'll be fine as I'll get a note--and test results are also being sent to the bastard neurologist. Just leaving an update, because some people care. Still no fucking clue, though apparently Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a possibility again. Edit: Staying home today (mostly mental reasons, I think). Probably a bad idea. Will beg the doctor for a note for today when we see him tomorrow...but he's usually pretty cool, so we should get one. I hope. Maybe just go to work late tomorrow. I dunno. |

So the plan of 'lets go to work today' crashed and burned. Got part way to work and realized we were too dizzy/lightheaded to drive the rest of the way...stopped off at the doctor and hopeful they're get me a note to get off. Elsewise I'm fired. blahCurrent Music: Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen But there's too much going on to deal with work. Mentally we're in the exhaustion phase again, so doing pretty badly. It should be better by next week, however. Today, however, not even the knowledge of work giving us free candy could get us in there (also free candy would hurt the stomach like crazy). It being the last day of the month and last day I can call off for awhile didn't help. So, once again, we're home. And this journal is being used to do updates on sickness and nothing else. Joy. |

Still they're sorta...I dunno. There. I think this is the first time he fucking LISTENED when I told them they lasted most of the day. Little bitch. Fuf never liked him anyway. I was sort of hoping he'd be able to fix shit anyway. Though I did go there this time with the intent to bitch him out and demand to be transfered to someone else; they suggested it themselves before I even said anything. Which is good and bad. Hopefully it'll get us somewhere. Meh. I dunno. I'm letting Maddin be in charge most of the day today simply to see how he handles it. Should be interesting, at least until I have to shove him aside. |

Not really sure if the pills are doing much...the dizziness has decreased by...mm, a half or a third, so its something. However this morning was just as bad as always (if not slightly worse? Its hard to tell), and the damn things are still making me tired all day. I now have a tendency to get completely lost when sitting--which I have to do most the day at work and end up doing a lot of time while at home as driving isn't always the best of ideas and money is...not there. (Summary: It sit at home on the internetz all day. Hahaha, I suXx0r. But at least I have an excuse in health and bills?)--and lose track of what I was doing. Yay. So I'm giving them another day or two before I call the doctor about it. I may possibly just be hoping that I'll become resistant to the tired-making side effect and not have to deal with it, but as I have no desire to do much of anything at all lately its hard to tell. lethargicCurrent Music: Evanescence - Hello This month's PMS symptom seems to be: no wanna do shit/no attention span. I picked up the last Harry Potter book last Thursday and have only read the chapter titles.
