Neutropenic

Today was a crappy day. I had a checkup in the morning. I thought I felt fine today until this uneasiness settled through my body as I rushed to get to my appointment. This uneasiness I speak of is this overwhelming tiredness that pours through my veins and gives me an almost light headed feeling. We were walking too fast and I could feel my heart jumping out of my chest, my lungs losing a bit more air than I'm used to. When they recorded my heart rate it was about 110bpm, so not too great. My bloodwork also showed that I was becoming neutropenic (I had low WBC count- meaning I can't fight off infections well). My doctor told me I would probably start feeling more tired and I had already begun noticing this morning.

I went out with a friend for lunch and was feeling worse by the hour. When I finally came back home I immediately prepared myself for bed, mind you it was only 3:30 in the afternoon. I napped on and off. The naps didn't help much the first few hours but its 9pm and I'm a little better  now. Today I noticed the less I move, the less crappy I felt. Assuming this is the trend I expect I'll be in bed a lot the next few days. I REALLY don't want to move -_-. My doctor told me I could get fevers again, so I'll be on the lookout for that. Oh joy!
