So earlier I mentioned I haven't been feeling well... and I haven't been able to shake it. For nearly two weeks now I have had zero appetite. And if any of you actually know me you know that is a shock. I am a pig. Seriously. Food and I have a special bond. So for me to not be eating is killing me. I still crave food but I cannot keep it down. Not pleasant. Usually I am just nauseous and gross and sorely wishing for a cheeseburger. Now it has gotten to be nearly two weeks so I decided I definitely need to go to the doctor. So I go to this random doctor I found on my insurance website that was within walking distance of my apartment. I called Monday and they told me I had to wait as they had no openings. That's ok, what is one more day without food? So I arrive for my 9am appointment and get seen around 9:45. Ugh.
Then the doctor saw me and told me I was pregnant. Repeatedly. Even when I told him, trust me, I wasn't... he argued with me.
Crazy Doctor: Oh those symptoms? You are just pregnant.
Me: No... no I am not.
Crazy Doctor: Yes yes, I see this all the time. You think you're careful and then boom! Pregnant. Let's do a test.
Me: I can assure you it is impossible. I am not pregnant.
Crazy Doctor: I hear that all the time, it's ok.
Me: Ok, unless it is the second coming I am not pregnant.
Crazy Doctor: Oh. Ok. Let's listen to your heart.
Then the crazy doctor decides to tell me I have a heart murmur.... what?? He's like, ok let's do an EKG. I'll get the nurse.Naturally the EKG was normal and he told me some guy comes to the office on Thursdays with a more sensitive machine and he wants me to get tested to make sure the murmur isn't severe. What murmur? So Crazy Doctor realizes he needs to take blood.

Crazy Doctor made me look like a drug addict! I have never been that bruised/swollen/black and blue from a needle and I have donated blood for three years now.
I finally get some random perscription for two pills and the second of which he won't tell me what it does. So I go to the target pharmacy and have her explain it to me. She looks it over and asks, "Were you at Crazy Doctor by some chance?" And when I told her yes she went on to explain to me this guy give this perscription of two pills to about half the patients he send there, most of them for ulcers. When she heard my symptoms and realized it did not sound like an ulcer she gave me the name of another doctor close by and told me just to go there. If new Nice Doctor agreed then we could fill the perscription.
I go over to Nice Doctor's office and lo and behold she is sane!!!!! But she weighed me before my examination and I was shocked to realize I have lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks. I weigh now what I weighed about Sophomore year of high school. Shock. Seriously I thought I was losing a little weight being this sick but I didn't realize that much.
Basically ran more tests, called Crazy Doctor and cancelled my next appointment with him and made another to come back to the Nice Doctor. She told me to get Pedialyte, juice, soup, ice pops... see if I can keep those down. So far so good. Before 10pm tonight I hadn't eaten solid food since about Sunday. I had soup before and so far so good. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Hopefully whatever the hell this is will pass and I can get on with my life and have a wonderful dinner to celebrate it.
Still dating Ryan. We went to the Zoo yesterday and I hung out with him at the Barracks today and watched Rush Hour 3. I love Jackie Chan. Awesome. (: We see eachother often and talk daily... so far so good. Let's see how this continues!
Oh and for Friday my brother (and one of his best friends) were selected to represent their team on the ALL STAR TEAM! I am so proud of him! Stefan was devestated last year when he didn't make All Star and I knew he could do it. <3

Your horrid story about Crazy Doctor made me laugh (though I'm really sorry you had to sit through that).
I hope you feel better soon! Love you!
Glad to be of service and provide a laugh.
Thank you! <3
