Keep moving and use potions. You don't need Dragon Spirit (and you don't have it to start with, but might have a skill point, if you used the dragon skill book you may have gotten earlier). Also, check your inventory, to see if you have any dragon armour that can give you a boost to any skills.
If you really want to reload, leveling up more (perhaps at the start of the fjords, if you have not been there yet) would help, since the dragon stats advance with level.
