Annewentworth's Journal

     I am scared, I have been feeling more fatigue breathlessness today.  I talked to my sister and she said I should call my doctor, and see if I could get my appointment moved up.  I called and asked because my fatigue was worse, I mean I was standing talking to my sister and I felt breathless and fatigued.  They said they would call me back, when they did they said I could see the doctor at 5:15pm today.  They also said my bloodwork was back.  They sounded impatient, I told the nurse that it did not have to be today, but she was off the phone quickly. 

     I am scared because I want him to find out what is wrong with me, but I am scared to think about what could be wrong with me.  I pray that this appointment will go well, that I can explain clearly what is wrong and that the doctor will understand and order the correct tests.  I am also afraid that he will be impatient with me and not listen.  I just don't know!!!!

     I need to leave it in God's hands and if the worst happens He will be with me and my family though it all.  I will try to write about my appointment later on today.  Please pray for me if you read this. 

     I went to my doctor's appointment, he was very understanding and asked me a bunch of questions.  And went over my blood work.  I am vitamin d defiecent, and have low potassium level, so he is giving my supplements for both.  He is also going to test my thyroid.  As understanding as he is he seems a bit of a pill pusher, he gave me symbyax just in case I am depressed.  Even though I told him I wasn't, he also gave me synthroid to try to see if it works.   I am not to hip on that because if I don't have a thyroid problem I do not want to be treated for one.  He also gave me Adipex, to give me more energy, but I do not think I am going to take this one because I read up on it and it isn't good for people with anxiety.   I am supposed to take a blood test for my thyroid tomorrow.  I don't just want to treat the symptom I want to know what is wrong.  Why do I feel out of breath all the time?  I don't know.  I pray that soon I will find out.  Also I looked all this up on webmd, which just freaked me out, with all of the possible side effects that I could get taking all of these pills.  I am supposed to go back in a week to go over the blood test and see if the pills helped.  I still need prayer if you can.  Thanks.
