Life does get in the way at times!

Well, certain sounds like you had a full day. 200 miles (round trip) just to go to the doctor for a VA Disability physical?? It seems like "they" would let one have a disability physical close to home, but what do I know? At least you got to use all the tests that you already had. Hope you have a good day, and a productive and relaxing time cross stitching.

I think we will be forever be experiencing being uncomfortable or stressed. Especially when we are getting a bit older. When you think that your obligations have lessened coz of the children all grown up, then we start feeling something different in our body. Just relax. Maybe what you do need is a vacation.

Wow! A government official using common sense! What next? I think I would have blown up if I was in your position and they made me undergo all those tests a second time. Enjoy your cross-stitching: it'll take your mind off things.

I have pain quite a bit in my back and sides and doctors have yet to figure out my problem. Every time I get an Xray done it shows up nothing. I was in a couple car accidents one in my teens and one 6 months ago I think it could be from that and I have Scoliosis on top of it. I did some lab work and it showed my bun and creatinine levels were high and he just told me to drink more water and fluids so I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. I have to get blood work repeated in 4 weeks and go from there. All my doctor just does is prescribe pain medication without figuring out what's wrong. When I go see my heart specialist I'm going to ask him about it or get a referral to someone that knows how to treat symptoms without prescribing medicine all the time. I hope your doctors are able to figure out what's going on with you and it is annoying to keep going for blood work and Xray's I feel your pain.

My grandmother used to say that sometimes, going to the doctor can be bad for you. She said when you get there, the doctor is always late and you have to spend some considerable time waiting for him to show up in a sitting room with other sick patients that you end up leaving the place sicker than when you come in. Not to mention that healthcare here is so poorly addressed; that's why she only goes to the doctor when it can't be helped.

In my life, people seem to get in the way all the time.

Going to the doctors is no fun at all and i hope everything turns out good with the x rays and blood work and lets all hope that your in good hands. I see you like crafting and i hope you do but it to good use and possibly sell it or something or give them away but of course up to you as well. I havent been to the doctors in probably two years and last night i thought i was going to go to thehospital as i was in so much pain and discomfort and i had no idea what was wrong with me at all and i was crying and laying on the bathroom floor i was in so much pain it was not good at all.

That is why i don't want to see a doctor because they will require us to go through various diagnostic exam , and from there they our sickness will be detected. It is a good moved but i just don't like it because i am so afraid to know whether i got a sickness or none.
