Nic Narrates

Sheepishly, I admit I haven’t been posting much lately. That damn high school reunion came up (wore a deep blue-purple draped tube dress and bronzed sling-backs), I lost and somehow recovered my wallet and all the cash that was in it (!!!!), went to Charleston for the Fourth of July holiday (which proved ever so slightly different as they played “Dixie”), and fainted on the bus home from work one night, (i.e. my worst fucking nightmare about being single in the city- that and the whole choking to death in my apartment thing).

This last and most recent development has turned into a two-week odyssey to figure out just what the fuck is wrong with me. Which is why they made WebMD, right? Accordingly, and in combination with my other lower back symptoms, here are some of their potential diagnoses:

Vasovagal syncope (fancy “doctor” speak for “you fainted, yo”)
Hypotension
Snake or spider bite
Anemia
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Vitamin B12 deficiency
Lyme disease

Sweet. Why not?
