Cansancio

This will be my last health-related entry as the topic has already gotten old.

I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome yesterday. Doc says I've also got some prominent lymph nodes and that should be cause for concern. Tomorrow they will take my blood sample because she suspects I may have some bacterial infection inhabiting my stupid body. I am deathly afraid of needles pricking into my veins and I am totally not looking forward to tomorrow.

I just feel so tired all the time. I sleep all day but when I wake up it feels like I hardly slept a wink. Even standing up for a few minutes leaves me tired. I get throbbing muscle spasms and thus walking has also become quite difficult.

When I came in to work yesterday to hand in my resignation, I had to feign I was okay so that my last day would at least go down as a happy one. Internally though, my muscles were waging a war against me and it wasn't very pretty.

I distract myself by listening to insane amounts of music. I've just finished putting together a playlist of 90's songs, and I am considering doing other playlists as well (maybe an infinite 80's one and stuff for the brokenhearted). I don't know where I will be now if it were not for my music. Sickness could be such a bitch.
