So .. I've been having dizziness for months and months (and months) now. I have always assumed that it was just another 'side effect' from that damn wreck I was in. So, I go to the chiro a bit more often and just deal with the remaining aches and this dizziness.
Anyway, after almost passing out last week, it 'woke me up' to the fact that something is wrong, and I'm now trying to figure it out. So I went to my doctor last week and the other day I had an appointment with the cardiologist. My primary doctor ran a test on me that came out abnormal and so I'm going to the cardiologist first to make sure I'm ok in that department, and hopefully to rule that out as a possible cause.
Anyway, I guess I must have triggered a chain reaction with me, because ever since that day I have felt broken. My head is constantly hurting, I'm losing feeling in one arm or another leg. I feel all these problems now that were there before, but were something I could ignore. But .. I'm planning on staying on top of this until I finally find out what's wrong with me. In the meanwhile I feel like I've been sick for weeks and I'm still in that achy recovery stage .. it's really starting to take a toll on me... I can't fix my hair because my head is sore to the touch and it feels all achy and swollen (I use the crap excuse that my brain is outgrowing my head .. ha ha ha!). Again .. it's wearing me out ..
Enough of that ...
It is October 18th .. and I swear I need to turn my air back on. We had maybe a couple of cool days and now it's back to warm again .. it is soooooo old at this point. However, we have finally gotten more than a freak random rain. Well, ok so only 2 whopping days now of rain, but it may actually rain tomorrow too, but I'll admit that I am terrible at keeping up with the weather...
Here's something that i found in regards to the current drought in the local area:
