more fun doctor visits

Some of y'all know that I have not been feeling very well recently. Rather not fell "right" for the past year to a year and a half. So, out of sheer frustration I went to a different doctor on tuesday. So, with my list of symptoms in hand I went. He actually listened and was really cool. It might have helped that I know him… but I still think he is just a good doctor. He had them run another blood test to see if anything would turn up.

I have had a blood test almost every time I have gone to the doctor the past year. Everytime I go into the lab room and tell them that I hate needles and have had a hard time with blood test because I have had so many of them screwed up. So, this guy that is younger than I am assures me that it will be fine. So I shut my eyes and grip the chair. I feel him put the needle in but if feels funny. He asks me if I am ok, I say "yeah" between grit teeth. He asks me again. Same answer. And again he asks. This time I want to tell him, “Shut the hell up! Can’t you see I am not ok?!? But I just said “Yes.” Then I hear a woman’s voice ask if I am ok. I open my eyes and there are now two people standing over my arm trying to get the vein. I shut my eyes again and the woman say, "Stay with me, stay with me." That freaked me out just a little. She asks me if I ate or drank anything that morning. When I told her no she kept saying, "Stay with me." I didn't tell he that I have never passed out in my life. Soon they gave up on the vein in that arm and move to the other one where it works a little better. So there is one more reason why I hate blood tests.

And it was all pointless. The blood tests showed nothing. So Tuesday I have to go get an MRI. I have never had one before so this should be interesting. The idea of laying in an enclosed tube for almost an hour kind of freaks me out. Hopefully it wont be too bad though. At this point I am not really expecting it to come up with anything. Oddly, I am just curious as to what will happen.
So, that is my (crappy) health news for now. I am so tired of being sick… I am not a sickly person. Hopefully things will start to get better soon.
