lol. Yeah, it's an impressive list! So seeing it all written out like that, how do you feel about it? Are you glad you did them?

Thanks for sharing them because testing for something like vitamin deficiencies wouldn't have occurred to me and yet it could be really beneficial. As you said, being deficient in some cases can make anxiety or depression worse. But like you, the big reason is to rule out things that I could otherwise worry about which may seem crazy to some but it's actually a pretty logical way of managing things. Seems that way to me anyway.

I almost had that 24 hour heart monitor test. A couple years ago my heart was beating weird (it really was, it wasn't paranoia) and I went to the ER. They said there was a rhythm problem but that it wasn't serious/dangerous. When I told my family doc that I certainly thought it was serious, that 24 hour test is what he suggested. I can't remember why I didn't actually go through with it but it would certainly be interesting to see the results.

Glad to hear your Mom is doing well. Another point in common, we've both watched our mother's battle cancer twice. And both beat it.
