My Boring Health Issues

Well.

Now that that is settled, onto the topic of the day. My Doctor's visit.

Just so you know, this entire entry is going to be about my boring boring health problems.

I had to go get a physical, including the lovely 'spreadum' portion.

(That is what my friend Judy so aptly calls the speculum)

So she told me that my blood work was fine. I have perfect cholestorol, and glucose, and thyroid levels. (ok some of those are probably spelled wrong. Oh well.)

That's the good news.

The bad news, is that apparently, they found blood in my pee sample. Which could indicate that I have a problem with my kidneys. Namely, another bout of Nephrotic Syndrome, which I had when I was younger. They are going to do another test on me next week, and then see what happens after that.

So that's not good.

Also, she put me on an inhaler. We were talking and I told her about my frequent lung problems. She listened to my lungs and said I have asthmatic bronchitis (once again) and gave me a prescription for an inhaler.

Its not just while I am sick, its for now on. That blows. Albuterol tastes nasty. But hopefully I will be able to breathe better now!

(Last night I coughed so hard I peed my pants!)

But anyways.

Sigh.

Everything else looked normal, and she said that if I wanted I could go on the pill to regulate my periods, but I don't want to go back on it again.

I guess I am destined to have abnormal skippy moon cycles. Not even moon cycles really, cause they are ALL over the place.

Other than that, nothing is new.

Oh yeah, and if anyone is interested, we need a new reviewer at Magick Review, so send us an email if you think that sounds like something you'd like to do.
