I took a birth control pill for a week and a half. I am currently sick like you would not believe. I can't walk ten feet without having to gasp for air. My chest hurts, my back hurts, my stomach hurts, my head hurts, and I can't eat. I'm exhausted, I get dizzy and light headed. I've been nervous and shaky and depressed. I've had panic attacks late at night when no normal human being is awake to help me calm down.

Basically, I've been through hell that last few days. I'm currently taking an anti-nausea pill to help me eat solid food. I'm taking a once-a-day multi-vitamin. I'm taking painkillers every few hours, and I'm taking immodium like, once or twice a day. I've done almost nothing but sleep for the past 3 days or so.

I also have 2 doctor's appointments lined up. One for tomorrow morning at 9:20, and another on Monday at 1:00. I spent at least 2 hours in Immediate Care yesterday, and they took some blood and ran a bunch of tests, all of which came back normal.

I went to work today, planning on working at least part of my shift, but when I asked one of the managers if I'd be able to take breaks because I'd been incredibly ill, he told me to hang on, and dissappeared to the front of the restaurant. The other manager that was working then had me tell her what had been going on, so that they at least knew why I could not work on Sunday, and why I would have needed breaks today. When the other manager came back, he told me that there would be enough people working today that I could just go back home. So, I got sent home from work, and that makes two days that I've missed because of the complications with this stupid pill that I stopped taking.

Also, on Monday, there was a police chase down the street directly in front of my house, down a roadbed between our field and a neighbor's yard, and then through said neighbor's backyard and then through their back fence. There was then a 2 hour foot chase and about 20 police cars in the area looking for this one guy, who they caught, beat the s**t out of, and then arrested. Pretty interesting, almost cause me to go into cardiac arrest, and kept my brother and dad entertained.
