this is annoying since I actually had a checkup a couple of weeks ago and KNOW that I was super healthy then :dry:

for the past couple of days or so though I've felt rather... off somehow

first off, standing up or standing too long tend to make me lightheaded and I actually fainted after crashing my bicycle yesterday despite not severely injuring myself :shock:

more sensitive to heat... it's LESS hot now than it was before and yet I'm taking it worse

smelling food makes me queasy... which sucks, since I do the cooking and actually LIKE food :sadbanana:

I've been tired... really tired... mostly physically, though I'm kind of mentally tired as well :(

I know that I was amazingly healthy a couple of weeks ago, and that I eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of water and get plenty of exercize, so how is this fair?! :thelook:

any tips on being human again? :puppy_dog_eyes:

Drink more ice water, get more sleep, eat more protein, uhh multivitamin? and call the doctors office, or a nurse line and ask them :D

Oh and you might have a flu bug or something. When I was up north there was something gross going around that had symptoms like that.

Do you have a sinus or ear infection? Maybe too much fluid in your ears? That makes me dizzy(fluid) and ridiculously tired (ear infection).

...or preggers. j/k I hope you feel better soon. :hug: Get your bad self to the doc, though, pdq. I'm not likin' the sound of the fainting.

I don't get out enough to run across people who are sick... and I always drink ice water, sleep at least 8 hours a night, eat plenty of lean protein each day and take a multi-vitamin :( Dammit... I don't LIKE doctors...

First thought: pregnant

I was afraid of that :sadbanana: especially considering other factors...

my ears feel fine... though my sister is the ear problem QUEEN, meaning I know EVERYTHING that ears can do to a person by now!... ears are POWERFUL :ninja:

I have an appointment set up for something else next week, so I'll ask about it then :blush:

I get like that when I'm dehydrated or mildly heatstroked. If it's not that, I don't know. But I guess the doctor will have some ideas.

might be high levels of acid in your body.
incorporate more fruits and vegetables.
lay low on over processed foods.
