“maybe it’s vertigo, maybe take a Claritin” - new record set for ‘most unhelpful doctor’s visit of my life’

#they forgot to give me the flu shot asked for and it was on my paperwork so i literally had to go back #super uncomfortable waiting so long in a waiting room during a pandemic #yes i realize i am now a catastrophizing anxious hypochondriac #perhaps i should have been less upfront about this to get my symptoms taken more seriously #it's been a week of my ears feeling fluid-y and pressure-y since a) throwing up on my period again b) hitting my head while dizzy from that #the ears kicked in two days later neck stiffness on Friday - maybe they're all unrelated but maybe we should consider they're correlated? #maybe? #anyway my jaw's clicking and clicking while trying to deep breathe is NOT soothing #so I'm seeing my dentist about possible TMJ tomorrow #will talk to PT at my usual appointment about the back/neck #i'm trying to improve my posture bc working remotely for 5 years and being lazy about it has FUCKED with my posture #(take heed new remote workers and beware) #honestly neck stiffness may because I sat TOO straight all last week while freaked about head/ears? #light neck and upper back yoga and heating pad have been attempted #i just. don't. know. #but yeah i've accomplished zero writing in the past week #no workouts in a week except some sad yoga and walk attempts #man it's been one anxious thing after another lately but #even at peak nervousness over my biopsies this summer i did not get physical symptoms #so i'm very sure it's the dizziness/soreness causing my anxiety and not the other way around #tmi #ranting in the tags again #what fresh hell is this
