So I had my physical and received the dreaded lab results. For the tests he ran I'm essentially... perfect. Great blood pressure, cholesterol levels (good and bad), etc etc.
The doc was surprised (but happy) to find that I am not diabetic. As am I. My symptoms are still continuing and it's very frustrating since I still have to deal with school and work. Meantime I'll try to get back on the phase 2 South Beach bandwagon. I'm also still taking 2 dance classes each week, but the practice in between hasn't been happening as much as I'd like. It's a bit hard to motivate myself with the fatigue.
Anyway, Doc did a full physical, and more blood work. Also got my tetanus shot out of the way (arm is killing me today from it). He'll have a better idea where to go from those results hopefully and if it doesn't then he'll send me to an internal specialist. Hooray. At least he's thorough.

"Dwell not upon thy weariness, thy strength shall be according to the measure of thy desire." - Arab Proverb
So I haven't posted in a while...I haven't been very good in a while either.
There were finals, and then Christmas, and then there was Cancun. After that there was little going back. We attempted. We failed.
I've been really bad about being prepared and having meal solutions at hand. The worse my eating gets the worse my attention span, memory, etc. Tomorrow morning (yes I should go to bed soon) I have a doctor's appointment with a new doc. He's just a family practice physician, not an internal specialist. But, I want to address my concerns about diabetes and the fact that I've had some diabetes-like symptoms...well a lot of them actually...and haven't been tested for it in a while.
He may refer me to an internalist.
My motivation right now for being healthy?...success in school. I failed two classes my first semester of grad school and I feel like this is my second (and treating it like my last) chance. I know that it's impossible to attribute all of my problems last semester to health. But, others are convincing me I clearly wasn't myself and being effected by something physical. I'm worried that it is diabetes...I'm worried that its not.
If it isn't...then is it something else physical? What else is it? Thyroid? Or maybe not physical at all and just completely mental (not that far-fetched with my past).
In good news I've turned my indulgences toward a healthier avenue...tea. I've also begun two belly dance classes per week again. More on this later.
