As of right now no body really knows. I have had blood taken 5 times, a chest x-ray, a foot x-ray, an EKG, and will be in for an echo cardiogram Wednesday. It all started with what has appeared to be blood clots in my toes that actually became quite painful. My Dr. took me off my birth control pill and has placed me on aspirin. Spring break was miserable and I missed 1 or 2 workouts because of the pain and being flat out exhausted.
I decide I'm not going to let this get me down. I'm going to continue with the study and do my best to keep pushing myself at the work outs with out hurting myself. I zumbad today, I was able to complete the work out but I didn't have the same amount of energy as I had two weeks ago but I made it through.
I still have some more blood work that needs to come back and hopefully we will get to the bottom of what is going on with me. Right now the test are telling us that I have chronic inflammation of the blood or vascular system and they are trying to find out why I'm so inflamed. I am considering going gluten free for a month and seeing if it makes a difference, this isn't a Dr.'s suggestion just something I'm curious about based on stuff I have read and heard from a friend of mine. Other possibilities they are looking at is lupus, a blood infection, or just problems with the birth control pill. Hopefully we will get some answers and a plan of action soon.
Thank you for everybody's support and prayers while I've been down.

Oh - Jess - I'm praying for you!
My goodness girl! I had a friend that got blood clots in her legs from being on birth control. I hope that whatever is going on will be figured out soon. Way to go for pushing through the pain and sticking to the plan. 160! Hooray!!!
