I think I am the only person in the world who does not mind going to the DR. I am a strong believer in preventative medicine. It's been a good three years since I have been without medical insurance and dental insurance. A place I never thought I would be. So I have not had any of my annual check ups. In the meantime, I have not really felt up to par. I know my weight is a lot of the problem but I can't help feeling something is not right. This past month I have had some pretty scary blood sugar attacks. I have also been experiencing bloating for some time, reflux, and general gastric and intestinal distress.
Now that I am working again I now have an awesome benefit plan. This past week I went to three Dr's. The GYN, dermatologist, and the general physician. Next weekend I get to go to the Dentist and then the following week I go for the mammogram. My new general Dr was a little overwhelmed with my laundry list of issues. I had a boatload of blood taken for lots of blood tests. We are looking at possible sugar issues, acid stomach, thyroid and we will see what else. Let's just say I am at a crossroad in my life as far as my health goes. I'm sure any and all of my health issues can be resolved if I finally get all this weight off and start an exercise program. I know I need to eat healthy and get exercise everyday for the rest of my life if I want to have a long life and a high quality life. The doctor has already written up a refferrel for me to see a nutritionist. I have such low energy right now and am tired almost all the time. It's not really a lack of sleep although I do need to work on that too, it's just a general lethargic feeling. I have not been able to get my head together mentally either. I will post all the results hopefully later this week.
Next is to get the hubby and the son to the DR.....
