I had a great appointment with a new doctor Wednesday. She and her group are integrative specialists and I'm hoping we can figure out some things. I left her office with a stool test, (YAY, we love those... not), an at home urine and saliva test, and a lab sheet that looks like it should have chapters. I've been suffering from a migraine since Keith was still in the hospital and haven't been able to knock it down because I've had to drive.. and since I was also trying to not suffer I took some Advil on top of my Tylenol... only to read that the stool test is not to be done until 2 days following any asprin, advil, etc. So... today is blood work, tomorrow starts 3 consectutive days of stool tests and the last day of stool, I'll also do urine and ship them out. The stool test is supposed to figure out which bacteria I have in my colon and how much of each, how much energy I'm getting out of the food I eat, etc. She said it's a 4 page report... so I'm interested to figure stuff out. We're testing blood for Thyroid problems, kidney function (again) hormone levels (again) but I have real faith in this lady. I just wish she wasn't in San Francisco. Driving a crew cab ford 4x4 through the streets there is terrifying. My new tires weren't gaining traction to push me up those hills.. I was squeekin' and gripping my steering wheel like that might help.
Anyway, I'm rambling... procrastination before blood work, I'm sure I'm the only one... :ylol2:
