everything sux
not everything, but, you know.
i didn’t check b4 entering this post what my most recent update here was, but like. i think it was that i got overwhelmingly dizzy after starting to post here after having two spoonfuls of raspberry buttercream.
i basically had a month from the end of march to the end of april where like, i would just get dizzy and wouldn’t know why. i’ve stopped taking bupropion, i stopped eating sugar and alcohol and spicy things for a while, i stopped taking nsaids for cramps etc, tried hydrating a shit ton and taking b12. started taking omeprazole on my own on a hunch and then had my dose bumped up to 40mg, prescription level. (it’s so much cheaper with a prescription + insurance holy shit)
i have an appt with cardiology that’s *still* a few weeks out just to rule out other causes of chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness with sudden onset/no real discernible cause, but the 40mg omeprazole basically made everything better. now if only i could fucking stop doing things that get in its way…. but after a month of fuckin brown rice you bet i’m on my most impulsive food behavior. and all the other stress i have going on doesn’t help w that. maybe i’ll make some cabbage juice here soon and shortcut assist.
so. fuckin…. heartburn. and vasovagal syncope. dizziness/lightheadedness from heartburn isn’t a usual symptom so the doc thinks it’s like, somehow my nerves are getting stimulated/agitated by the heartburn and the syncope is in response to that stimulation, rather than directly caused by the heartburn? idk that’s a terrible explanation on my part, sorry.
let it be known that i actually had a productive weekend. i’m helping one of my (newly official) housemates put on a shadow puppet play that she wrote in 2017. i was chafing at how long rehearsals take, but we’re mostly past those now and just doing the shows, which are much quicker when there’s only 1 per night and the show is 30 minutes long. our second show was pretty tight. it’s like….. an extremely “hippie” kind of play that seems like it might be intended for children maybe? themes of like, nature and humanity reflecting each other, the secret lives of animals. or something.
…. and then i fell asleep and didn’t have time/energy to look at this until a week later. lol bye
