For the last few months, I have been gaining weight rapidly, my ankles and fingers swell, I have an upset stomach, heartburn, and I am exhausted and in such intense pain, that I can't even describe it. There are days I cannot even move, but I force myself up and around, because things need to get done. I woke up Thursday with a sty in my eye, too.
No, I am not pregnant, but something is wrong with me. I went to the doctor on Friday and talked to her about everything that is going on. She ordered a battery of blood tests for the various things she thinks might be. Because I have gained 40 pounds since my wedding, she put me on prescription prenatal vitamins, so that if I do get pregnant, I will have enough
folic acid and my baby won't have spinal problems. Fun, huh? I have high blood pressure, so she wants to see what these tests come back with before she prescribes high blood pressure medicine.
I will hopefully be able to have my blood drawn tomorrow (Monday). I had eaten breakfast Friday morning and Dr.
Faircloth wanted me to be fasting. I will let you know what I find out.
