on a weekend like this...
have not been feeling well since Thursday. I woke up feeling extremely tired. initially I thought it was my usual negativity at work but until it got to the evening time that I felt my head throbbing. signed off sharp at 6. didn’t even have appetite for dinner so I forcefully had a piece of cake in order to take paracetamol. slept at 10pm all the way until the next morning weekday alarm rang. I still didn’t feel good, the headache was still hanging around and it got even worse. felt the pull from the right temple all the way to the back of the neck.
went to see doctor to get the cure and the ever important MC. my migraine didn’t get the doctor’s attention as it wasn’t as serious until nauseous stage. he commented that probably I was overstressed from overloaded college assignments. well, I’m gotta take that as a compliment :P but I admitted to him I’m too old for college. what caught his attention were my peeling lips and patches of blueblack on my legs. after much questioning on my diets, cosmetics and sleeping pattern, he suspected it’s just lack of vitamin B, C and zinc. I was prescribed with 3 weeks of multivitamins and if it doesn’t heal, I will need to have my blood taken for allergic test :( I hate blood and needles!!!
medication makes me weak. slept almost the whole of Friday after every dose. woke up Saturday morning and just couldn’t give excuse to myself to skip gym anymore since I skipped on Monday and Wednesday. since I felt normal so I thought maybe some sweat will make me feel even better. But no, it didn’t. Couldn’t hit my usual record on the treadmill. face turned pale halfway through bodypump until my instructor noticed and asked if I skipped my breakfast. as I informed her that I’m actually on medication and I felt my heart is like pumping very fast, she gave me 50% discount on my routines.
now on a Saturday night, I just feel like lazing at home. sitting on the couch, watching Fashion Police with lappie in front of me. it just suddenly strikes me that it has been quite long since the last time I’m grounded at home on a weekend. perhaps a break from the social lures out there once a while is good for health...
