On not feeling good

[tamaranth]

I'm sure I feel worse than usual.

Is this because I have confirmation that there is actually something wrong with me (and not just an inability to adjust to full-time werk)?

Have completely wasted day off: would very much like to take tomorrow as a sickie, but I don't think lying in bed would actually solve anything. It didn't today, and now I'm beating myself up for not getting anything done.

Just spent half an hour looking through all the BP-related posts from last outbreak, summer 2004. Mopiness? tick. Contant headaches? tick. Lethargy? tick.

Goes away quite quickly once medicated*? fingers crossed!

*ah, but no medication til after next appointment

EDIT: have got a grip and emailed boss to say I will be working from home tomorrow, explaining the situation, promising to be in on Friday. Stupid to be upset about it. Sensible to deal.

Given that you're having similar symptoms to last summer, and further given that you've just had your blood pressure checked & it warrents further medical investigation, it seems more than likely that any grungy feelings currently being experienced are mainly due to BP issues, therefore are Medical, therefore are Not Your Fault. So, no beating yourself up about not doing anything all day.

See, even you admit it yourself, in your edit. Award yourself a bouquet indeed (and be thankful you're not getting migraines this time...)

Yes miss!

Summer before last, but yes ... and examination of old LJ posts indicates that Crap GP told me I was all better and to stop bothering them. I do wonder just how long the BP has been a problem, even an intermittent one ...

*hugs you*

Sleep well, in the knowledge you have tomorrow to rest.

Your mood icon vomiting star is slightly disturbing though, I must say.

Sorry that you're not well. Of course, you're always Excellent!...but even the best are entitled to bouts of not well.
