ugh, health drama.

I'm a little concerned about my health right now. This whole sleeping all the time thing and the fact that I don't feel like I'm losing weight even though I'm working out is stressing me out. I hate feeling like a hypochondriac, but the fact is that my track record is not good when it comes to getting medical help. I just read this article about a kid who died of a pulmonary embolism (that's a blood clot in your lung, the same thing I had back in 2008) after an X-box tournament. It scared the shit out of me. I am seriously lucky to be alive. So I cannot fuck around with my current state of being. I'm making a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning for as fast as I can get one. I also am going to dial back the alcohol consumption because I'm sure that cannot be good for me. I just don't want to go through another major health scare, so I'm hoping this is something that will easily be cured by medication, taking vitamins, or eating more red meat. Right now, my doctor friends are telling me it sounds like anemia or hypothyroidism. I'm hoping they're right and I can get this shit ironed out in less than two weeks.
