Right Well
Posted: 03-01-07 21:02pm

I'm going to bed, no really, yes really, I will, I must, I am...
I've a blood test tomorrow at 9.50 and it's a fasting test for diabetes so this could be interesting.

Kinda good that it's tomorrow and not the next day.
I really wouldn't be wanting a blood test come saturday morning - I might be toxic lmao

the Results Are In
Posted: 03-09-07 05:10am

Results

plasma glucose (diabetes) - not a sign at all - woohoo
cholesterol - low side of normal - ha so my diet isn't thaaaaat bad after all.
thyroid function - abnormal underactive - retest in 3 months to see if it clears itself up (not likely after all this time - but what's 3 months when it's gone 15 years? lol).

I first questioned my thyroid function 15 years ago and was palmed off again and again.
all my "problems" are symptoms associated with an under active thyroid
drepession, anxiety, prolonged heavy periods, weight gain/inability to lose weight, fatigue, sensitivity to cold....

I'm so happy that finally someone has tested this properly.
I mean OK it's crap that I have an under active thyroid, but at least there's an answer and treatment available for it.

ps I'd have moved this but there isn't a blood test results forum and it's a past post Wink

i'm glad that you don't have diabetes. that's a mother. if it is hypothyroidism at least there is treatment available!! doctors thought for years that i had hyperthyroidism. the results are always inconclusive.

Its great your don't have diabetes, and if its hypothyroidism then just wait til they treat it. You will feel so much better. After I got on medication for mine i was like a whole new person. Its wonderful, no more depression and such! yay!
