Personal Narrative-Caffeine Analysis
I feel tired and a not like myself. I occasionally get headaches and I feel uncomfortable in my environment. I tried substituting with non-caffeinated herbal teas, but I did not like the way it tasted. I am struggling to complete my assignments and daily tasks. I had no idea how much the caffeine helped me throughout the day. These side effects were not expected. I am starting to feel like my schoolwork will suffer because I cannot complete a full assignment of reading.
In regards to my social life, I do not have one anymore. I have not felt like going out or talking too much with others. I am aware that the lack of caffeine my not be the only reason for the way I am feeling, since the first trimester of pregnancy comes with a difficult set

    As soon as they start giving Michelle the second chemo cocktail, (non-alcoholic of course), she starts having an allergic reaction to it. She goes into Anaphylaxis Shock. First she starts itching all over, then her blood pressure starts to drop and she's having a hard time breathing. Then her blood pressure drops more and all hell breaks loose. I felt like I was in an episode of Orphan Black! It was like the nurse clones, first there were one, then there was two, then three until there were about seven nurses in a room all working, looking, panicking, putting oxygen in her nose and checking blood pressure. Holy shit I was freaking out! I kept looking at the blood pressure machine not understanding where the important numbers were. It just seemed like it was going down and down. Michelle is trying to talk but can't and the next thing I know they're…

    My ears ring as the old school bus screeches to a halt. We hop off and a dry, winter gust smacks my face. Instantly, my stuffy nose runs. I grasp the cold metal handle of the school door, open it, and slam a piece of wood underneath to keep it ajar. After we become accustomed to the cold shock, Mrs. Cimenski, our director, orders us to haul the heavy wooden tables and a set of four lockers toward our designated area backstage. We struggle through multiple doors and long curtains until we reach our destination. The first aid kit mends our minor cuts and bruises created in the process. Gathering our senses, we collect the makeup and costumes and begin a brisk walk to the classroom assigned to us. The first performance is in an hour and a half,…

Caffeine is a common stimulant and is found not only in coffee and tea, but also in soft drinks and other foods. It can also be bought over-the-counter in tablet form. Too much caffeine can cause anxiousness, headaches, and the "jitters." Caffeine is also addictive and a person who abruptly stops drinking coffee may experience withdrawal symptoms.…

    For me a long term effect of having cancer is extreme fatigue. This makes it harder for me to focus during class, stay awake long enough to complete mounds of homework, and enjoy the social aspect of school. I have a difficult time in enjoying events outside of school because I am usually too exhausted to even appreciate being around others. I often wonder if I am getting the full high school experience. However, the most important thing for me to be focusing on is my health, so getting enough rest is more crucial to me than school events. Even though tiredness is a big struggle for me, I have taught myself to power through the fatigue and work as hard as I possibly can. Techniques that have helped me to overcome my fatigue are to sleep for…

    “You’ll never be able to run long distances again” A quote from my doctor when I was first diagnosed with both a tarsal and calcaneal coalition in my left foot. The first thought that came to my head was start digging my grave now. Monday through Saturday for me are spent at the gym or on the tennis court. If I am not training, I am teaching the sport I continue to admire since fifth grade. Those nine words rang through my ears like fingernails on a chalk board. He proceeded to place me in a cast then a few weeks later into an air cast. I viewed this as a small bump in the road and continued to strengthen my upper body and core despite my highly fashionable boot. Two months later my highly optimistic self headed to my “final” doctor appointment to be told I need to continue to wear the air cast. That day I recall telling myself “deep breaths Grace”…
