I am not 100% sure what causes the whole yeast thing. Over a year ago, I was on antibiotics for 1 month for an old infection but I am not sure if that is related. I have read the steroids,(been on them since last June) which weaken the immune system, can promote yeast growth. Over the last 9 months or so, I have had just about as many vaginal yeast infections, which I had only ever had one before in my life, back when I was a teen! Also, when they did stool samples this past fall, it showed the over growth of yeast. My blood is now coming back with overgrown as well.
Speaking of blood, I started the day off pretty crappy I got to the drs office for my fasting blood draw at 8:45, its just supposed to take a few minutes right? I KNOW I am a hard stick but after 9 pokes, apparently I passed out for 15 minutes!!!!!! I guess they had to put oxygen on me and were about the call an ambulance when I came to.
All my veins blew, I am welted, black and blue and can't lift my arms. They had actually even tried the underside of my wrist and omg does that hurt now.
They were insistent on me going to the hospital but I refused. I didn't get out of that office until 20 minutes after 10 and my boss had tried to call me 3 times thinking I was in an accident or something.
So, here I sit at work, the boss in, patients scheduled all day, still bleeding from a few spots, weak, tired and feeling like absolute butt. I am so glad its Friday. Did I mention that they never got the blood they needed so I have to go back Monday??!!!!!!
Really, can I just go back to mexico????? PLEEAASSSEEEEEEE??????
