doc visit update
when i went to the doctor to see about my hair loss and other random things, he sent me to get a blood test/urinalysis, and everything came back ok except he said i had blood in my yellow stuff. (turns out i went to the labs a few days before aunt flo arrived. so i "have to go" again in a few weeks)
but he kept going on and on about my cholesterol, which was 118 (i guess it didn't sink in to his brain that i don't eat anything that contains cholesterol. heh.)
but the good thing is that my thyroid levels and B12 were fine. (as was my kidney and liver and blood counts) so at least i don't have any hypothyroidism or anything. i guess the hair loss is just from my heavy bun after all. i hope it comes back. it's so weird. it's all concentrated just to the right of the center of my forehead. i have figured out a way to tie my hair to spread the weight through to all of the strands. (an actual knot in my hair and the ends are wrapped around the knot and secured with the band) the bun in my icon is from 3 years ago, so it's much bigger now.
i made a post on a reeeally long hair community asking for advice, and i got some really really cute ideas. i just wish i wasn't lazy. haha.

so i guess in a couple weeks i'll know if i really do have bloody pee.
