I haven't been blogging lately because I haven't been feeling very well at all. For the past two weeks, I've had abdominal pain and stomach aches. I got a CT Scan to rule out diverticulitis, and the doctor suspected IBS. I did some research and I think I've found the problem.
About a month ago, I stopped taking a medication I've been on for 6 or 7 years, and apparently I did it the wrong way: cold turkey. If my theory is correct, restarting the medicine will help my digestion get back on track. If I'm wrong, I have IBS. Either way, right now I lose because I feel terrible.
Today was the first day of my internship with IU Health, and I must say it was a rough day. I really like the people I'm going to be working with, but I was nauseous the whole day. At one point, I was walking to the restroom and my vision just went away. Everything turned white, and I was super lightheaded. I apparently shouldn't have started back on the medicine at such a high dose and eased into it. You learn new things everyday, right?
