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.

ick on getting poked and prodded, Rachel, but it's worth it to try to stay healthy! I hope that everything comes out ok with the bloodwork!

Yuck on exam, but it's definitely a good thing for your health! Hope everything will be fine, girl!

Those are no fun...esp when you have to fast before and during certain times of the month. Hope the test results are 'boring' ;)
