So yesterday I left work early.

bloodsong1Nausea, dizziness, occasional cramping, would get worse after I ate and finally hot flashes. This was after spending the weekend going "Do I have a UTI again?"
Today I tried to make an appointment with my doctor, but the office was switching to electronic filing, so no availability. Go to the walk in, said them.
After a two hour wait, and being scolded for curling up on the floor, I was given an anti-nausea pill and a urine test for infection and pregnancy.
Both tests came back negative and the pill seemed to help. They gave me a note for work, clear fluids for the rest of the day, go back tomorrow if you're feeling better and here's more pills for the nausea. We think it's a stomach bug.
I spent the day on the couch with my digestive tract doing the pendulum of "I'm a little squicked" to "You should probably vomit, but I'm not going to let you." The pills only work for about two hours and no matter WHAT I eat or drink, even broth and tea, I feel queasy after an hour. Once the meds wear off (I can only take 3 in a 24 hour period), I'm more queasy.
If I was bleeding, I would chalk it up to my body fucking me over as it likes to do. But I'm on Depo, which stops the bleeding and usually the side effects. So I don't know. I'm going to make myself go in tomorrow and see how long I last.
