I’m doing ok today. I’m kind of dizzy and lightheaded with this vertigo type thing I’ve been getting lately. My mom told me to lie on my back with my head hanging off the bed because it would help the vertigo. It immediately caused nausea and I almost threw up and I burped a ton of times. I took a zofran and used my vertigo oil. I thought maybe I had caffeine withdrawal but the coffee I had today didn’t help. I went a couple times for routine blood work a few weeks ago and the first time it showed my bad cholesterol (I didn’t even know it was bad) was even worse than before. So my doctor told me to avoid a lot of stuff. I don’t know if bad cholesterol can cause you to feel sick and stuff. Then the blood work I had after that for my kidney doctor showed low vitamin D. So he wants me be taking vitamin D twice a day and my mom wants me to take iron as well. She said it doesn’t hurt to take that. But I’ve been kinda sucky at remembering to take my vitamins. I don’t know if low vitamin D can also cause the stuff I’m having. Right now I feel better after eating some vegetables and ranch dip and using my vertigo oil again. My mom is at the store and got me 4 cases of caffeine free diet Mountain Dew. That’s a pretty rare soda. I think they may not make it anymore. Which is why I’m getting it even though I’m trying to cut back on soda. I know they don’t make the regular caffeine free anymore. I thought I wasn’t going to find it at all anymore since the one grocery store I saw it at on Thursday only had one case and by Friday morning when I went back for it it was gone. So I’m glad I found the 4 cases.

I’ve been having this odd issue that I was only comfortable telling my therapist. She wanted me to tell my primary but I chickened out at my appointment. Now I think it’s become a bigger issue. Hopefully I can find a gynecologist here who works with trans people. My other one was weird.
