Went to the Doctor
He was a very nice man. Ends up I have no brain tumor.
That was the good news.
The bad news is he didn't really know what happened in my brain. My tests all came back normal, but of course if it was anything but normal that would mean it was a brain tumor. He's sending me for a sleep deprivation EEG in a few months. Doesn't that sound like a good time? Basically if we make me sleepy it irritates my brain, which will show the irregularity better. Or something.
But as of right now I have lots of rules to follow. Like not drinking, or driving, or going to the gym or doing anything which will lead to me hurting myself or someone else if I have another seizure. I also have to take really good care of myself. Making sure I get full nights of sleep (other than for the EEG) and that I eat properly and don't overwork myself. Somehow this isn't how I pictured my last year of university.
I'm also currently freaking out. I'm sure it will pass, but I figure it's better to freak out now, and get it out of my system, than to repress it for countless months. Just know that I'm scared right now. I'm really, really scared. But I have great faith that I'll be better tomorrow. And I have faith that whatever is about to be thrown at me I'll be able to handle it.
trichinosis is basically non-existant in first world countries and that's discounting the whole vegetarian thing. Hope you're feeling better soon Tessa; you're in my thoughts! :) "I" says: Keep on truckin'!
Ockam's razor. You fainted because you had walked for an hour with no food and had a very low blood-sugar level. Give me evidence that proves otherwise.
she didn't faint, though!
An ancestor of mine maintained that, if something can be fixed, then you don't need to worry; if something can't be fixed, then worrying will do no good.
