Why is my body always so baffling?

So I had yet another bout of nausea last night! I guess peanut butter is still off limits even in small quantities. I AM SO SICK OF THIS.

So! I went to the doctor! Where I was told I'd probably simply developed some really severe acid reflux. They gave me a weird cocktail of Maalox, lidocaine, and belladonna. (I was like, belladonna? Srsly? Are you guys trying to poison me?!) It tasted like ass and made me more nauseated, because, well, it tasted like ass and was very thick and just generally yucky. It also made me feel weird. Have you ever had your esophagus go numb? Very strange sensation.

But then! A little while later! Mysteriously, I felt so much better! I was even able to walk around the drug store for a little while with my mom! So this lends credence to doctor lady's theory that it's severe acid reflux. However, this does not explain the fevers, heart palpitations, or dizzy spells. :\ They took a blood sample and my white blood cell count was normal, and presumably that means it's not an infection (or at least, if I had one, I don't any more).

In any event, I was given some hardcore acid reflux medicine to use daily and some hardcore nausea medicine to use in the event I get nauseated. Hopefully it works.
