so i went to the doctor today. last night i had another one of those spells where i feel really nauseous, but this time i didn't vomit. over the past year i have these every once in awhile, and about 3/4 of the time i vomit. i finally decided to see if anyone could diagnose this. there are a couple other small symptoms, but i won't bore you with details. well... my doctor wants me to see a neurologist. that word alone is really scary to me, it says "i think something's wrong with your brain". she thinks i might have absence seizures. that also sounds scary, and i don't like it. when i was 5 i had a very violent seizure, but all tests were inconclusive and i never had another one.

after reading up about absence seizures on the internet though, i seriously doubt that's what i suffer from. so is that a good thing? or should i be even more scared, b/c i'm back to "something's wrong with your brain" only now i don't know what? i guess this will all be settled when i go to that neurologist. but for right now i'm a little scared...
