Doctor Day!

Today was yet another doctor day. Honestly. I am now going to schedule an ultrasound to check for poly-cystic ovaries. One can never have one too many ultrasounds.

My NP said my symptoms could be PSO or something gastrointestinal. She also said its better to rule out PSO so I know what it is not. All I have to say is whoever does my ultrasound better not have a heavy hand. I have never had an ultrasound done on anything but my kidneys but every time I have one done the tech puts so much pressure on my ribs I think they may break. Granted this time they wont have to venture through bones but I am still paranoid my stomach will hurt. We decided I did not need blood work done today. We shall see what the pretty black and white pictures show, if anything. Then go from there. The phelbotomist at the lab specifically requested yesterday that I do not get lab work done today because I am such a hard draw. I have had so much blood work done recently I could create a huge army of ants with all of the blood the lab has from me. I knew yesterday I should have asked for my hormone levels to be checked. Damn lazyness on my part. Now I will wait and see.

Yesterday I went back to the doctor and had to specifically request lab work to be done. I know my doctor is the doctor but I feel that he doesnt listen. I went into his office last week with a list of all of the things that were wrong with me. He said lets increase your levoxly and check your liver and kidney functions. Okay, cool, now this is the second time he has increased my levoxyl without checking my thyroid levels. I havent had my cholestreol checked in almost two years and last time the good one was low. And I need to be checked for my own sanity every so often for diabetes its been almost a year since we did that. So I told the receptionist that I wanted this done and she got bitchy. She wanted to know if I talked to the doctor about it and then when she looked in my lab file she was shocked at what blood work and other lab work had been done. I told her yes I had a lot of lab work done but not the specific tests I was requesting today. Im sorry receptionist lady but I am in control of what is going on. Not you. I may be paranoid and over dramatic but I have already had two surgeries this year and I have lithotripsy next week and the week after to get rid of these god damn kidney stones. I would like to keep any other problems down to a minimum and possibly keep from killing Mum with all of my after doctor visit texts of bad news. Plus I dont need to break my thyroid from too much levoxyl. I dont feel my current dose is working. I am still super tired, extra hot, and have amazing headaches.....

I wrote the above on Wednesday night. I was interrupted by Lacey. We started sending each other scary dudes on POF.com. A great past time. By the time we were done laughing at the POF dudes it was about 2am and I had forgotten about this post. (Yes, I know, laughing at POF dudes is mean. But it isnt going to stop me.) So now a bunch of days later I am posting this tensy bit of doctoring info on my life.
