Sorry, that was feeble. I shall refrain from making parodies or jokes until I'm healthy again.

But yeah. Gonna try to update properly, no vague whining this time.

Last Thursday, I went to the hospital for a routine blood test, and it went fine. Then my dad had a few other tests, so I said I'd stick around with him. By around lunch time, I started having dizzy spells, and was suffering from one of the worst headaches I've had in a very long time. I thought it was sinus pain, and the swelling around my eyes (I thought) confirmed my theory. They took some blood tests (collapsed a vein and ruined my good jeans in the process, way to go you buggery vampires), took some X-rays, and sent me home since the radiologist wasn't around.

Friday, I go back to the hospital to get referred to an ear/nose/throat doctor with a diagnosis of sinus inflammation. I get to the ENT, who then determines that yes, I do have chronic sinus irritation and some sort of shadowing on the x-ray, but it's not what's causing my problems. He gives me some painkillers and tells me to come back on Tuesday. So I do.

I've got a CT scan later today to elaborate on the shadow in my sinuses, and they're trying to get me to see a neurologist, but the one I know and am familiar with is booked until August. ><

So basically, I've got a crippling headache and nobody knows why. It's so much fun... I'm at work now, but I don't think I'll be around for the rest of the day.
