The temp on my computer says 51 F. There's a cold breeze out there making that 51 feel a lot colder. I'm sorry I didn't get here yesterday. I had a setback I'm not too happy about. The person who 'proofed' Faith to Believe,...

Good afternoon from Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's 35 F right now, though it might have gotten warmer earlier. Though it is hard to tell with the cool breeze. The sun is shining in the late afternoon. I hope you all had a...

I Didn’t Think an Eco was in my 2026 Bingo Cards

Michelle Renee Kidwell @Michellekidwell (29953) • Sonora, California 14 Feb

I must admit when my new doctor told me that she wanted me to have an Eco with Bubble, along with the other typical tests, I was taken a back, but having a neuromuscular disorder I guess I shouldn’t have been. But I would be less...

In and Out and In and Out and In and Out

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 8 Jun 23

Man, it was like a Who song!!! I survived the pulmonary function test. For those of you who’ve never had one, the photo is a little bit of what you get: pinched-off nose while you breathe into a machine through your mouth while...

Fun Day (Well, Sorta....)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 31 Jan 22

So what did I get for my relatively early-morning jaunt to the VA hospital? See above photo (the top one). What they did is called a nuclear stress test. They put a little bit of nuclear material ("tracer" or "contrast")...

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (64169) • United States 17 Jan 22

No, not COVID, I got the booster shot. So, just before Christmas I discovered my doctor closed up shop. Right after the new year I called and made an appointment to see someone at the same clinic that my wife is at. I went in...

Good news from endoscopy

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44560) • United States 7 Dec 20

Got home earlier and so thankful endoscopy went well, no ulcer. Just showed inflammation so I have to take large doses of Prilosec for a couple of months. Quite a relief. UTI almost gone, I hope, so I can start getting ready for...

Tests, Appointments Ahead ... Prepared For Battle

Gloria Faye Brown Bates @GrannyGee (3517) • Louisburg, North Carolina 15 Jun 20

We still don't know what is causing Skip's really bad headaches so, more appointments, tests ahead. We did find out from the surgery that one 'bad' thing is omitted that he doesn't have. I pray that other tests will show the...

I Hold My Breath When Waiting To Find Out ...

Gloria Faye Brown Bates @GrannyGee (3517) • Louisburg, North Carolina 11 Mar 20

This morning I got a call from my oncologist's office. The nurse called to give me the results from my recent CT scan. I held my breath. She said, "there isn't any evidence of the non-Hodgkins lymphoma returning". I know you...

Medical Testing: Is It Necessary?

Alice Henry @IreneVincent (15960) • United States 12 May 17

Did you know that it is estimated that more than $200 billion is spent each year in the United States alone for unnecessary medical tests? No one is suggesting that a person should disregard medical advice, especially if a person...

Not How I Expected to Spend Tonight!

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 15 Apr 17

I spent most of today going through Hubby's files and sorting until I could find the data I needed easily. Then I gave the rest to him in a more organized form. I then broke for dinner and some TV before going back to work on data...

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 18 May 16

Yesterday late afternoon Hubby was having mild chest symptoms. He had stopped by the other house after swimming to change, and eat, and he called to tell me he was going to drive himself to the ER, five minutes away because he had...

If you had a mamogram under a year ago and have been scheduled within that time, you pay big.

anthony davis @lookatdesktop (27156) • Dallas, Texas 4 May 16

Yes, it seems the one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. It is expected by most patients these days as far as medicare and medicaid is concerned, that doctors are on your side and in your corner so you automatically expect...

Medical Test Done

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 27 Jan 16

Sometimes I think a group of sadists studied medicine just so they could invent these medical tests and inflict pain on others. Today I had the test done to determine if I have carpal tunnel. I do; however, the doctor said it...

I have to leave in about an hour to get some medical tests done before my surgery again on the 17th. I'm agoraphobic and have anxiety. So I'm pretty nervous. Plus this morning I woke up with a massive headache at 5 a.m. I am not...

I'm not like the Scarecrow, I really do have a brain.

Amber @AmbiePam (120987) • United States 15 Nov 11

Well, it is confirmed I have a brain. I guess that is something. I had a brain scan this last Friday and I was relieved a doctor was finally looking to see if there were a reason my migraines have gotten worse as I got older, not...
