Health Crisis Update!

LOL

Sorry I haven't updated this blog in a few days. I've just been incredibly lazy about doing so.

So...Monday I had my doctor's appointment. It turns out the "lump" I've been seeing in the back of my throat is actually my epiglottis. The average person can't see their epiglottis just by looking in their throat, but for some reason, I am special. So everything turned out fine there. HOWEVER, while I was there, I informed him about another problem I've been having for almost a year: every time I smile, a slight tremor occurs in the corners of my mouth. Every time I stick out my tongue, it shakes uncontrollably. I can't believe I have let this go on for nearly a year without getting it checked out. I am insane. The doctor agreed that it is abnormal, so he took some blood work, testing for an over-active thyroid, a vitamin deficiency, and he tested my blood sugar levels because there is diabetes in my family. He told me if the blood work came back normal, then he suggested I go see a neurologist.

And...of course...I got my results back yesterday, and everything was just fine. I was actually hoping things wouldn't be fine, because then it might have been an easy problem to fix. But now I'm going to have to go see a neurologist, and who knows what might be wrong with me? It might be something that cannot be cured or fixed, and I may have to live the rest of my life with this, with it only getting worse.

Life sucks, doesn't it?
