(no subject)
Lots of good stuff happened at my appointments today...yaaaaaaaaay!
Dr. Vu--- fast paced, kinda twitchy, young and very much so awesome (also s traight forward...and a little blunt) Talked to me about my family history of illnesses...in addition to the normal blood test he is getting mythyroid check done. Which, if my thyroid IS out of whack, could be one of the reasons why I'm not losing much weight (although Ihave lost 6 pounds in a month...). .. he did mention that I needed to work out more, which kinda made me go.. 'k"... and I told him I also worked out at work, but he said that "didn't count". I told him that I did characters for a living, but he still seems to think that I work behind a desk... (he even was like "even when you're behind your desk"...ha...will educate later)
Need to see a lady doctor (HIDES) I don't wanna hear it. I know it has to happen, I'm just terrified. Its a rational fear... BUT he did start me on gardisil...which is the cervical cancer preventative for women under the age of 27...and since I am less than a year away from 27 I figured it was a good idea.
I told him about my anxiety, depression, inability to sleep, etcetcetc., my wanting to quit smoking (which of course he chided me for smoking...to which I'm like "don't judge- remember- that's why Im here talking to you- to fix my health problems")... SO in addition to perhaps seeing a counselor or a psychologist (anyone else would be a pill pusher) he suggested going on Wellbutrin... ('cause I'm terrified of chantix and all the risks therin) Get this--- apparently its an anti-anxiety medicine that helps people quit smoking, it boosts your energy throughout the day, helps you lose weight AND helps you sleep (because apparently you're so up throughout the day you sleep when you're supposed to)...
UM...WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!?!?!
Gotta go...eye doctor update later...
