Got my medical checkup results back. Didn't offer much explanation for my constant tiredness and body aches. It's not diabetes, tyroids, cancer nor rheumatoid arthritis, which I am relieved to hear. Only 1 problem, nothing serious, just that E.S.R is too high. What's that? Doctor likens ESR to a barometer, knowing that I majored in Geography. A barometer measures atmospheric pressure, it can show impending rain or good weather at a place. High pressure means going to rain, but dunno when rain, and dunno where the rain clouds are from. Same as ESR. It shows there is an infection or virus somewhere in the body, but dunno where it is exactly or when it will flair up.
He hinted that my symptoms may be caused by chronic fatigue syndrome. Work is too demanding, life's expectations are too high, too much stress, not enough rest, lack of exercise... I think he is right on all counts.
