I finally went to the doctor…

Yesterday I hit what felt like an all-time low. I decided enough was enough. I don’t care if I don’t have insurance… I need help. So today I saw a doctor. We talked about my history, all the years I’ve battled with fatigue, my weight yo-yo’s etc.

She did a pressure point test on me. Then looked me in the eye and said “you don’t have fibromyalgia”. I think my heart I always suspected this, so it really came as no surprise, but it was nice to hear a doctor say it.

She drew blood and is sending it off to test my thyroid and to see if I’m anemic. She got me fixed up with more acid reflux meds, which I rarely need now that I’m low-carbing, but nice to have around for when I do. She also tested my blood glucose with her meter then with mine. Looks like mine needs to be calibrated as it runs about 10 points higher than hers. It was actually good today… 89. Lowest I’ve seen it in months.

She got on to me a bit about skipping out on my Mammograms I’m supposed to be getting and gave me the number of a clinic who will take care of me for free. Thank the Lord. I can’t imagine what getting those will cost otherwise.

Then before I left she gave me a B-12 shot to help me out. I don’t know how long those take to work or last, but I can already tell a little difference.

Anyhoo… I’ll just deal with money issues later I guess. Right now I have to save myself and my sanity. I should have results back on Monday, so I’ll give an update then.

Have a great weekend!
