Day 12
Day 12 - What’s in your bag, in great detail
Not much! My wallet, my planner, my phone, my stain stick, three pens, my glasses cleaning cloth, three lip glosses, Vaseline lip therapy, a Starbucks recipt, a friend's phone number, a movie ticket from Eclipse, and a few pads.
Tada! Very boring. :)
In other news, I went to my doctor's appoinment today. He doesn't think it's my thyroid because I've only got a few bald patches and not over-all hair loss. He's not sure exactly what it is but apparently I've got a rash on my scalp too. I knew I had a dry scalp I didn't realize it was red too. So maybe that's causing it.
After talking with him, he pretty much believes I have Fibromyalgia and that the pain in my legs likely isn't caused by thyroid stuff. He is checking my labs for it though and a few others to rule out anemia. And my cholesterol because I'm curious if it's gone down since I started exercising.
He started me on Lyrica twice a day for pain and then Ultram in-between if I need it. So we shall see how these help! Then on the 17th of September I'll see my new rheumatologist in Vancouver.
In the mean time, I feel a lot better because he listened to me! He spent 45 minutes with us, and also talked with me about a diet to try because I mentioned I want to lose weight and can't seem to.
Sad part is, he's retiring in three months. :( He really is an awesome GP.
So I'm going to try Medifast! His wife will be my coach and though it's expensive ($299 for a months supply of food) a lot of my co-workers are on this diet and they have ALL lost weight on it. So I'm giving it a one month trial along with exercise to see how it goes for me.
All in all, I feel better about my health and I'm excited to try this diet.
