I'm having one of those days where I'm jittery as hell, despite only one cup of coffee and no jitter-causing meds or anything.
Ooo, girl. That is so not fun.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

The Hematologist said my iron wasn't that low, but the levels are headed downward based my previous blood work. So, I'm going to get iron infusions once a week for the next 5 weeks. My calendar for the next month is already filled with Dr.'s appointments because I decided to have the 2nd attempt at cyst removal done at the hospital, which means I have to do a pre-op and post-op with my doctor, on top of the IVF informational appointment I already have scheduled with him. And I have an appointment with my PCP because all my prescriptions are about to expire. This should be fun.
We're going out with TCG's dad and stepmom tonight, and I predict a cosmopolitan or two in my future.

Sorry for the brain dump. I have doctor anxiety, and right now I feel like doctor's appointments are my whole life.

Totally understandable sj. I don't remember if you have done iron infusions in the past. I have found them to be very effective. It is just the time sitting there that is annoying.
Good luck with dinner tonight.

I did have them in the past, and it was 3 times a week for several months last time. So, this should be much easier. It wasn't that bad other than the waiting and my vein issues.

sj, that is a lot of doctor visits, but would it help your doctor anxiety at all if you framed it as something you're doing for yourself? Clearly not as good as a trip to the spa, but I still consider getting myself to the doctor to be a form of self-care.
Teppy, I get that way sometimes before an anxiety attack. Try not to push yourself too hard at the gym until you're sure it won't make it worse.
I did about half an hour on the elliptical, and I think I've burned off some of the jitters. I'm going to take a hot shower and then maybe hot chocolate with booze in it and see how I feel. I got some movies at the library (Anchorman, The Losers), neither of which we've seen, because we are always hideously behind with movie-watching, so I think we'll chill out with movies tonight. Hopefully that'll get the jitters gone.

I predict you will have great fun watching the Losers, Teppy.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

YES SHE WILL. Ahem.

Argh. This cold is starting to kick my ass (I was awful on Monday, sorta OK Tues/Wed/Thurs, and now I have hit the congested and coughing time). I don't think I should go out dancing tonight. But I wanna go out dancing tonight! Also, because I don't have evening plans the rest of the weekend. BOO I SAY.
Maybe the sudafed I've been taking has been going to Teppy. All back-channel like.

My sinuses ARE nice and clear!
I actually feel the early flutter of a migraine, so maybe the jitters were a warning sign. Although I don't recall ever getting the jitters before a migraine. It's usually an eye twitch or really tight shoulders.
