I won't be around for most of Friday...certainly not the morning my time and probably not the afternoon as well.
I need to have a rather involved blood test on Friday morning. It is suddenly appearing as though my doctors have been approaching my medical issues all wrong for the past 2 years - I am presenting CLASSIC symptoms of diabetes. I have had some of them since all this started but doctors tend not to take "tiredness" very seriously as a symptom, have developed the others recently. And yes, diabetes could be causing my headaches since it attacks the nervous system and causes neuralgia. (Pain along a nerve path.)
So on Friday morning I am having a glucose tolerance test which involves taking blood after I haven't eaten for 12 hours, loading me up with a shedload of sugar and taking blood again 2 hours later. This will probably make me feel like something the cat dragged in but it's worth it if I get answers. If the tests are negative then I am no worse off than I was before, in terms of knowing what the heck is wrong with me. I will probably spend all of Friday afternoon in bed watching a trashy movie and thus won't be here.
I came within an inch of passing out after eating a chocolate bar on Friday.....that is.....not good.
