god i wish there was a section in mychart to put "we do not have to spend twenty minutes re-litigating the evidence in her fitness tracker before ordering more bloodwork because her existing bloodwork is too good for an ass that fat"

[shitty-check-please-aus]

“your cholesterol looks wonderful” hell yeah I’m getting a good grade in bloodwork, something that is normal to want and possible to achieve

my cats: obese

me: getting their bloodwork done and realizing they both suffer from obesity related issues

slightly frustrating doctor’s appointment today because my doctor seemed pretty set on not taking me seriously that something is wrong. she basically told me that i flagged pretty high on the depression questionnaire so maybe it’s just depression (when literally all the questions were like “do you feel lethargic and unmotivated and unfocused?” which are all also symptoms of being physically unwell) and didn’t seem to take it seriously when i told her that i’ve been depressed plenty of times in my life and i know that that’s not what i’m experiencing right now. she also tried to tell me that maybe i’m just stressed about my board exams (which…. i’m really not at all) and i’m just feeling frustrated because i’ve been feeling so awful lately and i had a lot of hope riding on this appointment

I feel not so good physically rn and it's like,,,is it that I've not had a proper meal today? Too much coffee? My meds? Or the flu shot i got today?

Chico update:

The dose of trazodone he was on seemed to calm even that he didn't need sedation this time.

His bloodwork came back all normal, so his issues aren't related to thyroid issues.

He started Prozac and Purina calming probiotics— we should see results for both in 6-8 weeks. 🤞

(He was asleep like this, silly boy.)

well i didn’t get my paycheck in the mail but i did get a referral notice from my doctor saying that i can expect to see an endocrinologist... in SIX. FUCKING. MONTHS.

[winemom-culture]

I can’t wait to go to my endocrinologist on Friday for the first time since like June now that I have health insurance again to be told she can’t tell me anything because we haven’t had any blood work in months despite my emails on the patient portal thing and an unanswered phone message for the office asking if they could check if the dr wants to order the usual blood work before the appointment bc I know they usually can’t tell me anything without it. and also to tell her I’ve accidentally been completely off all my meds since June when I had the lapse health insurance.

i really hate when doctors won't give you the medicine you need and try and give weak excuses like "if i put you on this it'll be for the rest of your life" as if me taking a pill every morning is so bad that its the equivalent of having something literally wrong w my chemical make up that makes my life exponentially harder

[vitiateoriginator]

Yesterday I went for a routine checkup with my obgyn and the first thing she did was say to me 'have I told you you have a large thyroid?"

Anyways now I gotta make an appointment with a primary doctor to see what all that's about
