I do have hepatitis, but they cannot detect what type just yet. My liver is inflammed, so I also am lacking some white blood cells. Basically I have to wait for ALL the results this week sometime. Good thing is I can eat as normal, but I still need to watch how much I take because I don't want to have my stomach feeling like exploding now do I? Nothing seems to be the case with any acidic problems at this time. I will update more on this when I get ALL the results this week.

If you noticed, I have been quite absent last week and this week. I won't be at school tomorrow because Today I vomitted at 6:30AM. So this sickness has been going on since last week of course! So I went to the Everett Clinic at Mill Creek to see a doctor about this matter. I seem to have tenderness at the upper part of my stomach. I have this problem digesting. When I eat, the stomach doesn't seem to digest the food down at normal speeds. It seems rather slower. While it could be acid buildup, and that means the stomach can't handle the acid and I vomit. Well...seems they had to suck the blood out of me...See they had to take out 6 vials worth of blood at the blood lab. I believe I had 2 Large Vials and 4 small Vials for blood testing. And No I don't mean those WIDE ones, lol! You know the size because I am sure you have taken blood tests before! They also had to take a urine sample as well. Now, I awaited the results at home. Seems they detected something in my blood. They said something strange is in my liver. Bad? Possibly. so I had to get X-Rays to see what's up with my stomach. But damn...they made me drink this awful nasty drink. Some sort of dye they mix with water so they can detect things in my stomach through X-Rays or something like that. 16oz of that stuff is purely disgusting, but I had to drink it up. So they do some X-Rays on me, and well, They had to inject I believe it is "IV". It makes your blood feel all warm, and since your bloodstream is bascially travelling throughout your whole entire body, it warms your entire body up. I could feel it even through my breathing! I don't really know why they needed to do that, I guess they wanted Thermal X-Rays or something..so anyways, I had to get 4 more vials of blood taken out, this time on the left arm because my right arm already had blood work done today! So when I finnaly get home at 6PM, the doctor says I could have Hepatitis. He said nothing serious and nothing to worry about. The thing is he did not tell me what Hepatitis type I may have. It is probably Type B, the most common one. And now I just learned I wasn't even vaccinated before for this...so basically I will find out what is up tomorrow with the results. I might not be at school next week. I do not know for sure. I have to get the results TOMORROW. Ah...yes...did I forget? Heh, well here is the website URL to learn about Hepatitis if you want to look at it:
