Ugh!
Nothing like get poked, prodded, pushed, inspected first thing in the morning - and on an empty stomach with NO caffeine. They had me do a 12 hour fast for the bloodwork they were drawing this morning.
And yes, it was "that time" of the year too - lovely women's checkup time!
So, here's the result (minus the bloodwork results):
- Exercise more
- Eat better
- Go visit the physical therapist (6 visits) for the sacroiliac joint - it's locked up on both sides (normally it's just the right) of the spine.
They took bloodwork to test for:
- Liver (been taking cholesterol lowering meds)
- Cholesterol test
- Blood sugar (family history of diabetes)
- Iron (i am close to anemia on a regular basis due to sped up cycle)
- Thyroid (sister and mother have thyroid issues)
I'll let you know how the results come back.
