today i woke up feeling pretty good. that's been the theme for the past few weeks, it seems.  i feel really sick like i'm dying at night and i just ache for sleep all the time because when i'm asleep my stomach doesn't hurt and i don't feel like i'm going to vomit or run to the bathroom every few minutes. then i sleep ten or eleven hours, and in the morning i feel good. once i start eating, i just feel worse as the day goes on. today i started feeling lightheaded around 10:15. i started feeling like i was going to vomit. i was in class. time slowed down a bunch and i don't know what the lecture was about. i left class early, just got up and walked out, walked all the way back to my room feeling like i wasn't going to make it back. thought i was going to pass out. i kept almost crying because i felt so bad. i got to my room, had some pepto bismol. put the pepto bismol container in my backpack so i could have more later. then i walked to my class. called my dad on the way, told him i felt really sick. he told me i should go to the health center. i said i had class. i went to class but i just felt really bad when i got there. i was supposed to present a project. i told the teacher i felt really sick and he told me to go to the doctor. i went to the health center and told them i didn't have an appointment and just cried at them. they let me in. i talked to nurses and a doctor. they gave me 2 liters of iv fluids over the next few hours. they called my gi doctor to get my test results from thanksgiving break. today i was diagnosed with celiac disease. after being sick since about halfway through 2011. losing all that weight. feeling sick and tired all the time. i finally know what is wrong with me and how to make it better. i feel really sick still and i would really like someone to bring me some gatorade.  but i am just so relieved to know i am finally going to be able to turn this around. i am not going to just lose weight until i die. i can eat enough of the things i can digest and i can get better, and that is a nice feeling.
