I wasn’t feeling well on Monday. Thought I was just tired after the weekend. Tired, dizzy and a little nauseous. But my job right now doesn’t involve a lot of moving so I made it to work and pulled through.

Woke up yesterday morning when the alarm went and was going to get out of bed. Eh… nope. I made it to the bathroom but not to the toilet. Wasn’t out for a long time, probably not even a minute. But the dizziness was way worse than its been in a long time. Sat on the toilet for a couple of minutes hoping it would be better. Started to genuinely doubt that I would be able to drive to work. I have never called in for work, except when I had covid last year. Would this be the first time? Finally made my way out to the kitchen to take my meds. Hoped it would help. Got ready for a shower. But I had to sit down on the floor in the middle of my livingroom to not pass out again. The world was spinning so fast and everything was just blurry. I could feel my blood pressure going roller coaster. I was not driving like this. I was actually scared. And that doesn’t happen very often. Crawled to my bedroom and took the decision to call work. The options were to stay home or take the risk driving and/or passing out either behind the wheels or at work. Not taking that risk. I felt so bad that I couldn’t make it. The first time in my life I had to call in sick with short notice.

Took a while until I could go back to sleep but I got another 2.5 hours. Felt better when I woke up. At least to the point that I could drive to the doctor. I get a Depo-Provera shot for my anemia four times a year and I was supposed to get it on Thursday. I thought that might have been the issue, I simply needed the shot. So I took a slow drive to the doctor and they had no problem giving it to me. Slowly drove home but passed the barn on my way home. My blood pressure was still going up and down and I could feel the heart going in and out of SVT. It is quite painful. Made it home and sat in my recliner for about 30 minutes without moving. I was exhausted. Made it to my bed where I spent a couple of hours. Couldn’t sleep but rested well accompanied by Twix and BamBam. They don’t seem to mind me being in bed for some reason 😂. I had a quite cute view of Twix sleeping like a prince

The dizziness almost went away but was replaced by an annoying headache… always something right. But at least I could get out of bed and get me something to eat!

Feeling much better today! A little scared to have another episode but I have to just trust myself. It is quite scary to be all alone and have to lay still or just sit to ensure nothing happens. Thankfully I don’t have this big episodes very often anymore. And I believe it happened because of I needed the shot.
