So Mom managed to convince me to go to the doctor's office today. I really didn't want to because I'm thoroughly fed up with the medical establishment's treatment of me. I also knew that while yes, I was sick, I wasn't so sick that my immune system couldn't handle whatever infection I had on its own. But my mom was all concerned and stuff so I went.

I got a prescription for a week's worth of Amoxicillin (for some reason, that's the only antibiotic I EVER get prescribed). So woop....after taking one pill I already feel better :)

But (here's the crazy part) the doctor that I saw today actually ordered tests for me. She wants me to go in on Monday because she actually believed me when I said that something (besides whatever illness I'm suffering from now) was wrong with me. She was all, "Yeah there is definitely something not right with you. I can't believe no other doctors have ever ordered any tests." Today they drew some blood and took a urine sample to check my thyroid, and when I go back on Monday they are going to do some more tests! I am soooo glad Mom made me go and actually talk to the doctor today. At this point, I was just so tired of being told that it was all in my head and nothing was wrong with me, so to finally hear someone acknowledge that I'm not crazy is just absolutely astounding!

I'm still not sure if I'll make it to Pizazz! tomorrow night, but the fact that a doctor is finally listening to me without me having to even beg totally makes up for that. Hopefully, I'll know what's going on and I'll be able to find some course of treatment for whatever's up with me. :)

My fever broke early today, and my apatite is back. Mom freaked out after getting back from the doctor's and she went to the store and bought a crap-load of fruit and other healthy things. (There were some REALLY good sales that I missed!) We now have mangoes, apples, and bananas and lots of other goodies! And the best part? Most of the things she bought were things on my own shopping list, so I'm saving money! XD Blech...I do hate buying groceries.

But yeah...I've slept most of today, and unfortunately had to miss work, but I feel SOOOOO much better about EVERYTHING. I think it's simply the fact that someone listened to me this time. :)
