So my hypocrappo (made up name) is back.  I am 3x over the range I am supposed to be in.  That’s bad.  In hindsight, I should have known, all the signs were there.  But, I never put it together, this is not the first time.  And everytime, LA is right.  I shoulda listened to her when she told me that it must be my hypocrappo.  I haven’t been feeling well for a long time now.  I keep getting these nauseating feelings and keep being really tired.  I have a history of tension headaches that are almost like migraines where I will feel really nauseous and my head will feel really heavy and the only thing that fixes it is sleep.  So, I just kept thinking it was that.  The doc had told me there was no “cure” per se for tension headaches, just to knock it away by taking massive amounts of IB.  But now that I think about the symptoms I’ve had in the past few months, it totally points to hypocrappo.  Tiredness.  Fatigue.  Trembling Hands.  Breathlessness.  Warm moist skin.  Wow.  I did notice my hands shaking awhile ago but didn’t think much of it.  When I think back to football practice last week, I was winded after not having done very much.  I thought I was out of shape.  That wasn’t it, it was totally this.  This happened a few years ago too when I tried to play sports.  It even happened tonight at basketball.  I was so exhausted after running for just a bit and could barely catch my breath and I thought my heart was gonna to explode out of my chest.  Another symptom, weight loss.  I rarely weigh myself, but after my blood test results, I decided to tonight.  I normally don’t like to weigh myself at the end of the day after I’ve eaten and consumed so many liquids.  Weight at night is usually heavier than in the morning.  So if I weighed myself tonight and it was less than what I normally weighed, then truly it was the hypocrappo.  Sure enough, I weighed 6lbs less than normal morning weight.  I’ll weigh myself again tomorrow morning.  Losing more than 5lbs by not doing much is a really bad sign.  I think the last time I got really sick, I lost 12lbs.  And now that I think of it, 3 times in the past couple of months people have said I looked like I had lost weight!  Wow.  Well I’m partly glad its raining and the football tournament might be moved, because I don’t think I can make it through the whole thing with the lack of energy I’ve had.  I’ve also noticed that I’ve been sleeping super early because I feel so tired.  It’s kind of good that I can up the dosage on my meds before the tourney.  Even when LA was telling me it was the hypocrappo, I didn’t think it was because I just had a blood test in October and everything was normal, so why would everything get all jacked up so quickly?  Now I know I need to really pay attention to symptoms and weigh myself once in awhile to make sure things are normal.  Whew.

Although I’ve had to battle with hypocrappo for such a long time, I’m really kind of thankful that it is just that and nothing more serious.  And that I should be able to control it with meds.  Whew!

I hope my energy is restored soon!
