the amazing sick day

i took a sick day today... angsarap... kahit one day lang... makes you wonder why every week, there's a weekend, and yet after the weekend, you hardly feel relaxed... and you get to eat everything you want to eat... sleep all you want... and... and... just rest... take the burden all away...

so the diagnosis? mahabang istorya, i went to the health service yesterday, baka eye problem daw, and while i'm on it, magpa-CBC daw ako... i'm used to CBC and that whole lot so what the hell... it took me 45 minutes to have the doctor see me for half a minute... gosh... ambagal talaga ng health service... sabi nga ng friend ko, mamamatay ka na ang subtle pa rin ng diagnosis mo...

so i went to the hospital,we waited for 30 minutes to pay for the CBC and an hour for the results... and then the tests were... well, medyo sabit...actually di medyo... sabit talaga... hahaha... so anyway, ang nangyari, i went back to the health service only to find out that the doctor is already out... and it was only 3:30... ano ba un!!!

we went to sta lucia to get my eyes checked, ung grado ng glasses ko, di naman actually tumaas. then we asked was that supposed to cause vomitting... the doctor said, hindi daw... in other words, addict ung doctor sa health service...

anyway, we went home... and as i was strolling around my house, i fell sideways while i was climbing our "stairs"... so i told my sister, me topak ata tenga ko.. then she asked why, then i told her of how i fell... she said baka may vertigo ako... i said, meron nga... nag-aanti-vertigo ako e... she said talaga?! then i showed her my meds...

all about vertigo: "Vertigo, or dizziness, is a symptom, not a disease. The term vertigo refers to the sensation of spinning or whirling that occurs as a result of a disturbance in balance (equilibrium). It also may be used to describe feelings of dizziness, lightheadedness, faintness, and unsteadiness. The sensation of movement is called subjective vertigo and the perception of movement in surrounding objects is called objective vertigo.

Vertigo, or dizziness, refers to the sensation of spinning (subjective vertigo) or the perception that surrounding objects are moving or spinning (objective vertigo). Some patients describe a feeling of being pulled toward the floor or toward one side of the room. Moving the head, changing position, and turning while lying down often worsen vertigo.

The sudden onset of vertigo usually indicates a peripheral vestibular disorder (e.g., BPPV, MéniÚre disease, vestibular neuritis).

Symptoms of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) usually last a few seconds to a few minutes and are intermittent (i.e., come and go). They also may include lightheadedness, imbalance, and nausea, usually as a result of a change in position (e.g., rolling over in bed, getting out of bed).

Symptoms of Meniere disease and vestibular neuritis include vertigo, hearing loss, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and ear pressure that often lasts hours to days.

Peripheral vestibular disorders also may cause the following symptoms:

* Blurred vision
* Fatigue and reduced stamina
* Headache
* Heart palpitations (rapid fluttering of the heart)
* Imbalance
* Inability to concentrate
* Increased risk for motion sickness
* Muscle ache (especially of the neck and back)
* Nausea and vomiting
* Reduced cognitive function (i.e., thinking and memory)
* Sensitivity to bright lights and noise
* Sweating"

so go figure...
