Had a doctor visit today and all is great. Now we have to wait for the bloodwork.
B/P was actually my normal 110/77 for the first time in forever in a doctor's office. Weight loss noted, everything looked good, flu shot did not hurt, blood work did not hurt.
Only 3 downers. Had to admit stress plays a big part in the IBS. This latest stress has really increased the IBS symptoms and problem. So what to do, we take Imodium once or twice a week. And no, on me there is no constipation. As I normally have my stress symptoms a few weeks after the actual incident this should start passing soon.
Biggest question is going to be the cholesterol-new news to me--as women got through menopause they lose the "whatevers" that give certain women the higher HDLs which I used to have. With hormone changes women can and do lose the HDL levels that made them "Gold". So we will see and we talked about different medication if that would be necessary.
The third issue is that on the way into the plant today I had the eye queer thing happen. In my right eye on the outer edges a portion of what I would call a Rubik's cube appears and seems to move around the outer portions of my eye. This lasted about 45 minutes and I felt slightly nauseated while this was happening. It was not making me happy though as this has only happened before when I was on the computer and not when I was driving. Doc looked at the eyes and did not see anything but said I need to see an eye doctor.
Talking about a new position in the company, this could be good. And really happy about Thanksgiving and Christmas. Life is good. And no I am not an appliance from Korea.

So I have to wonder what that Rubik's cube thing is. My sister sees stuff like that before a migraine... Me, I'm a bit of a fainter, and any time I see something funny like that I hit the ground immediately, because chances are good that that's where I'm going to end up anyway!

I have never fainted, but I have been dizzy enough to sit down in the far past-and I used to get dreadful headaches but not in years. I am due for the yearly checkup-and yes thank goodness my insurance covers this. We are very blessed to have excellent insurance as I know most do not.
DeleteReading through the second part of your post, I thought that I should comment on it.
ReplyDeleteAll the symptoms that you mentioned is that of migraine headache. I had this when I was young, but as time passed, it gradually tapered off.
Interesting, I have no pain, thank God, but it is very odd.
DeleteYes, mentioning it myself. Hope you have the eye doctor scheduled. And, we'll be interested to hear about "the new position."
