Acute Anemia

this is what I came down with about two weeks ago. it started on Friday. I stared out dizzy and very tired it really hit me after the kids were off to school. I went back to bed and didn't think much about it. my parents picked up the kids that week end (like they do every other weekend) so I really didn't need to get up, and the next day I was better. but Sunday it got worse, i don't know why, it could have been that wine cooler or the fact that my extended period was on super heavy, or it could have been the wine cooler. all I know was that I was super dizzy, I felt like I was on the tilt-a-whorl and could not get off. I was so dizzy that I was seeing double, my eyes were spinning and I was nauseated. By the time my husband went to pick up the kids, I was throwing up every hour and would not stop till Monday night. luckily my parents come over on Monday to take my daughter to gymnastics and us out to eat. this is when my mother became convinced that it was my high blood presser that was causing the whole problem (which it's not) and that I should get that under control(which I do) I already had a doc. appointment for Tuesday (OBGYN) so I called my normal doc and informed him of this new development (they said it could be that cyst, which to me is like saying "its not our problem") and off to the doc. I went, of course my husband drove. the doctor said that both the cyst and the fibroid were very small and were not the reason of all this. he put me on a new medicine that stopped my period and now I am finally starting to feel normal. I am still a little dizzy, and I cant drink alcohol or coffee, but I am getting there

Ovarian cyst and fibroids?

I was just diagnose last week with ovarian cysts and fibroid. Well, that's nice, but I really don't know what that means. The only thing I know about cysts is they seem to happen a lot and they can happen in multiple places, I mean my brother  had a cyst on his ear. I guess this could be a good thing since I can't really freaked out over this. it is not like someone just dropped the cancer bomb (that already happened once before) I  have looked it up and found very conflicting things. one site list different kinds of cysts but nothing on fibroid. when I looked them up together I found very little. I did find some freaked out people and a site for people with cancer. so were to now, I continue my search for some answers to the problems that are plaguing me and staring to feel a little like a failure because I don't know enough about health issues to know whether I should be worried or not. To top this off everyone as my doctors office has been treating me like I should know what is going on. like everyone took biology in high school and there is the Internet so everyone should know enough to talk to their doc. like they themselves were in the medical field. at least this is how I feel their think. I even saw a list of things your Doctor wished we knew. well how about the top things your patents wished you realized.

1) We are not all in the medical field. I am not going to school for anything related to medicine. 

2) We all can not keep up with all the new conditions you keep coming up with. I have never heard of half the things they throw at me. I never herd of Plantar fasciitis but he diagnosed both me and my son with it. I don't think these conditions are fake (at least not all of them) but some of them feel like designer diseases made to give a purpose for designer drugs.

3) When you sit us down to discus treatment options, give us options, don't just walk in and tell us what WE are going to do.   

4) Don't assume we can or will keep track of the medication we take. I on now on 6 different things and cant pronounce half of them, I have know clue how many mg. I take of each and even if I did they keep changing. you what me to tell you all this info when I came in with an ear infection. I can hardly remember my own address with an ear infection.
