Crashed!

This morning I woke up feeling like a train wreck. Not only did I have a migraine, but I couldn't wake up. My body felt like it weighed two tons! I called work to tell them I'd be in later. I went back to sleep and woke up again at 9:00. Even at 9:00 I felt exhausted. I forced myself to get up and get ready for work. I really only wanted to be an hour late. Instead I got here 2 1/2 hours late. :( If only I could figure out what's going on. I suspect it is CFS/CFIDS or EBV. Too bad my doctor doesn't believe in those ailments. When I told her a couple years ago that I was diagnosed with the chronic EBV, her response was, "oh yea, EBV. That's the same as chronic fatigue syndrome. Same thing. You're just tired all the time and it sucks to be you."
The worse I've been feeling, the more annoyed I am about that remark. I think I am going to seek out the other doctor who diagnosed the EBV in the first place. Since my current doc won't even do a test to be sure, I may as well seek out a second opinion. At the very least, I want him to retest for the EBV and maybe determine if I have CFS. I need to do some more research myself, too. In any case, things have got to improve. I can't continue down this road or life is going to get more difficult. This brain fogginess has got to go! I'm thinking a vitamin regimen is in order...hmmm... :)

Is there a chance that you could switch providers or will insurance not allow it?

I can switch. As far as I know, my last doctor is also in my current network. I just need to call and schedule an appointment and see if I can get my old records from his last location transferred to the new place. Typical medical hassle! :P

Bless you! I've been that way all week-lol! I haven't left the house yet-hehe! I noticed you changed the name of your blog again. Noticed it on the NaBloPoMo Blogroll. Hope you feel better!

Thanks, Mer! I have MK Career Conference the next two days. I really don't want to be draggin' my feet! The title of the blog keeps changing, but the URL is the same. ;)
