Nervous and Excited for Tomorrow

I getting pretty nervous for my appointment tomorrow. Nervous and excited. One of my online friends encouraged me to temper my hope, given how often doctors are frankly horrible to us. Well, that made me more nervous than excited. I really hope it goes well. It takes so long to get appointments... and it is so discouraging when doctors say it is in my head or I am exaggerating... meanwhile, I am not getting better.


However, I felt generally crappy all morning and most of the afternoon. "Coming down with something" crappy. But then it mysteriously vanished around 4:00. Go figure--usually evenings are worse! This feeling was not my usual tiredness, etc. I was even a little nauseated on and off.
