January 27 - Anemia (I think)

I think I might have Anemia. I went to a lab yesterday to check my blood count and pressure level. For the latter the result was instant: 99/73. According to the technician the average is 120/80 though it varies for some people. But it's low. The other result has been ready since 1500hrs yesterday, but I had a class at 1445hrs. Initially I planned to miss a section of the two hour class period. But somewhere along the day I changed plans.

However without the results I am almost certain. Over the last year I've been some health issues one could say. I have unexplainable pain in my chest arms and legs, my limbs numb and become cold, there's loss of strength for short periods, I feel like fainting (though I never have), my memory lapses, and I become winded after extremely short periods of exertion equaled to the likeness of one hundred quick steps, when this exertion is pushed it triggers a headache which affects my eyes as well as my ability to think.

Of course, I'm not one to visit doctors so I haven't and most likely won't. I've read that the presence of the symptoms above and others symbolise that there is another problem within the body. I hope it isn't so with me. I'm already having issues with those symptoms. I have a headache at the moment and it's preventing me from focusing on my practice writing and code writing.

I need to get over it so that it can move on. I'm trying multiple potential solutions; watching Inception to calm my mind in the case that my mind is overly occupied; applied the screen contrast to lessen the stress on my eyes; lying down and covering to go against the tired and i should fall and cold feeling.

The headache is present but has lessened, my eyes aren't hurting, my thoughts are moving more smoothly. However the back of my neck is now hurting though and the sheets make me too warm and I feel cold without them. My eyes are beginning to hurt again. I think I should try for a poem now though. I didn't write yesterday, and it would be terrible for me to ....I look to the television for a minute or less and lost my thought.

I've produced five okay lines now my head is hurting:

Wake (me) from the depths of your mind
Build (me) from the seed of inspiration
Mold (me) with optimism
Create with zeal
Craft with confidence


It's 1401hrs and I think I should sleep so....
