My head hurts.

No caffeine yet. The dr might find me some sort of something (I'm okay with like 1/4 cup of black tea, which'll be enough to take the edge off), because they won't let me have Coke on account of it's not clear, and no coffee, either.

He says I should reduce or stop my Synthroid (right after I picked up 90 days' worth, of course) because my free T4 is high and my TSH was 0.66 in their lab (when I last went to my dr it was 1.5), because that can cause some of the symptoms.

I had lunch: veggie broth with tiny bits of veggies (onions, I think), jello, and a cherry Italian ice. It has not yet made a repeat appearance, unless you count pissing like a racehorse. No longer true. I need to let my nurse know. (It was right after the dr left. Of course. Which was right before I started writing this.)

They think it might be IBS? That would make me sad, but less sad than celiac would make me. But we need to restore the flora, etc.

Fuck, my head hurts. Ooh, they're bringing me tea.

GI problems are such a fucking pain in the ass (pun relevant but not intended). They knock you flat, but they have so many similar symptoms that it's hard to distinguish, at lead on the ones that can't be tested with blood.

I've had GI issues for almost two years now, and I've never bothered to go to the hospital, but I hope that they figure out what the problem is, and that its treatment isn't too bad.

I've had problems for a while now, too, but this is the first time I got to the point where I couldn't EAT anything for days, and where I was seriously dehydrated. (I got IV dextrose at one point, because I had ketones in my urine.)

Hopefully the specialist will have an idea.
