update

the only thing I've really been able to do lately is watch TV and other passive things. I've been worse but its not agonizing. i am basically bed ridden but i only felt really bad for about an hour today. my pain is minimal and my stomach feels funny. if i get up to do anything i get achy light headed and weak. my temperature is staying around 96.5. We've had to deal with some past due tickets which have cost us 2000 that we are still figuring out but I definitely think a testing at Igenex will do me good. Most of my teachers are willing to work with me which is nice.

I never thought i would be so weak and ill but not feel agonized. I always had the two come hand in hand. I'm NOT on the verge of killing myself. ha ha despite my being bed ridden and all cuz I'm feeling Okay.

the bumps on my arms have been coming and going.
took another pregnancy test and its negative.yay!
and my left breast still has pain.
