My father told me I should start up a hobby so that I can get my mind off my health problems and ease my worries. I have developed many: 1. Learning to Crochet 2. Reading books outside of class books 3. Practicing very old-fashioned etiquette/trying to act like a lady or a princess 4. Blog surfing 5. Photography The last two interests have sparked my most recent project. I went blog surfing a number of months ago, and stumbled upon so many ...
Finally! A happy blog post!!! I went to my doctor on July 9th, and I had an EKG, which turned up normal. "V" as I will call him, told me that he gets heart palpitations too, and it's completely normal. He told me to go in for my annual blood tests as soon as was possible to get everything checked.

So, I'm home for my Winter/Christmas Break, and I am trying to relax, but I'm still worried about aneurysms. This is driving me nuts! I'll go for about a week without worrying, and then boom! I'm back to freaking out that I'm gonna just keel over and die. Logically, I can work through why it's NOT likely that I have one, but then I think that they can still come up and affect me. The risk factors that can cause an aneurysm can be easily explained away, and show why ...
So, the back of my neck is burning again. It feels weird. I posted another reply to my original "Burning sensation in the back of my head" thread, for those who want the details. I won't post them here because that would be redundant. Of course, I'm still scared of it being an aneurysm. I have moved my desk around to accomodate better posture. The hollow of the desk where you're supposed to sit is on the right side of the desk, with the drawers on the right. I, however, ...
