Okay, so after my ride Saturday, I took the kids to the beach, went out to dinner with the family, then came home and in some weird burst of energy, cleaned part of the garage (which was disgusting). So it was a pretty big shock to wake up yesterday completely exhausted - after eight hours of sleep, too - and with a stomachache. Things got worse when we went to church - I couldn't even stand up for the parts you're supposed to stand for - and things got even worse later on. It was too much effort to even keep my eyes open or talk! My heart rate was racing just trying to walk, and sitting it was in the 80s (usually it's in the low 50s). I was so thirsty, so I thought I was dehydrated. John took me to urgent care and they did give me an IV - two bags of saline later and I felt perkier, but I still had muscle aches and the stomachache.
Oh, and whatever tests they do to determine whether you're dehydrated came back negative - so the doctor decided I was "behind on fluids" and diagnosed me with "fatigue."
And today I don't really feel better - I made it in to work to go to a couple of meetings, but pretty much I need to go home and go back to bed.
Is this a sign? Today is the day I could sign up for IM Coeur d'Alene 2007 - and yesterday morning, before I started feeling miserable, John actually had agreed that I could sign up. Now I'm afraid to...I still feel weak and awful and I never want to feel this again. What did I do to myself?
