Well, here I sit, just thinking about how this past year of the stresses of unemployment, depression and anxiety have effected all my general health.

today I have to go pick up a special 3 day diet and a 'pee speciman bottle' from my doctor's lab to do a 3 hour fasting glucose tolerance test for this coming Monday. I will possibly get a dx of pre-diebetes. Who would have thunk But for the past 6 months or so I've been craving comfort foods, I've gained more than 20 pounds since last August...I've been living with my head in the sand

last week I had a kidney function test done, my third one which showed abnormal levels, so from what I've been able to calculate, I have stage 3 kidney failure. Probably due to a lot of Celebrex due to aches and pains. Now what do I do - oh poor me lol

I didn't think I would go down that road...I've been mostly healthy all my life. I go see my family doc on Tuesday next week and the kidney doc in mid July.

Stress really does take its toll on physical health and that sucks

Just looking for a little support here Sorry to be such a drag
