So today I went to the doctor because my stomach has been feeling really crappy lately. He helped me out a bunch to tell me I needed to flush out my system because I have some stool backed up in my intestines. (poop) ;) sorry, Im not shy about this stuff. Everyone does it right? ;) anyways, its not constipation, but its pretty dangerous. (if you dont treat it right away toxins and bacteria seep into your bloodstream and you die.) I had to drink this NASTY stuff . Yuck.
Anyways, before I left I asked him a question I have been wondering for a while. I LOVE food, for other reasons other than it tasting good. I seem to be always hungry. When I go without eating I will get really sick (dizzy, cranky, tired, my head starts hurting and I almost pass out). I asked him what that meant and he said I most likely have Hypoglycemia. He said that if it goes unchecked and if I dont make some changes or whatever I will become diabetic later on. (After I become pregnant or something) He said id have to watch the weight because of it. But the thing is that I kind of had a sinking feeling that I had Hypoglycemia for a long time. I realized that my reaction to food was much different than normal people's so I researched it and came to this realization.
So, anyways, he told me that I needed to come in for a test that is going to take 5 hours. Yuck. I have a feeling that it will be blood taking the whole time. If you dont know me then I cant really describe to you in writing how much I hate getting my blood drawn. I cry, even now that I am 20, every time they do it. I get emotional, which I try to control because I have no reason to be, but its hard for me. I get really shaky.
But yea, that was my day today. It was pretty nuts. Now I cant eat sugar and stuff, I gotta watch what I eat and make sure that I am extra healthy so that maybe I wont get diabetes. If I do then I guess it could suck, but you know, its not the end of the world. And so what I have to watch what I eat? I love healthy food so it wont be much of a problem for me. ;) Im not really that torn up about it, but its quite a change (even if I did know that I had it all along).
There is one thing I know for sure, I love love love love love doctors. I mean the people can be whatever but I am so grateful for modern medicine. It saved my life today ;)
