The Beatles - Help!

Its a sunday evening and I'm stuck in my room. Lights closed, listening to this song. Somethings gone wrong this past week. So thought of writing about this frustrating time.

Last week, I had the blood test done on Sunday. The results really shocked me. My liver enzymes are high , but more importantly my CPK has sprung to 991 !!! 2-3 months back it was at 507 and I was sweating. But now I have started feeling the fatigue. I just hope this bad patch goes away quickly.

Few days back, I was beaming. I was working on things that I really like. Managing college lectures on saturdays, hanging out with friends during weekend. Everything was goin smoothly. So I just realized this past week, I cannot take my attention of DM. I havent faced fatigue like this for like last ten years. So I'm really frustrated, feeling angry sometimes. But I guess its goin to be a part of life. Should always watch out for the speed breakers.

Yes,last 2 months have been really hectic. During the first month of work ,I was working for 12 hrs + traveling for 3 hrs. During the next month the working hours have reduced to 9. But maybe I have gone over board. Those extra hours that I might have spent out with friends, just to relieve stress of work,college might have cost me this time 'round.

Last week has been more of a struggle than anything. Thursday , I took a day off work. Since Friday, even small walks are making me feel tired. Sometime back I opened the computer system to install the tv tuner card and I was winded by the time I finished closing the cabinet!

Anyhow got to make some changes in my lifestyle may be. Keeping my fingers crossed. Doc has changed meds. Have to make more blood tests next week. Lets c how it goes.


Ciao n Peace.
