My appointment went well. My blood pressure was 126/66. Heart rate was high but that’s from anxiety and my meds. He prescribed this topical stuff to help with some possible nerve damage on my upper thigh I’ve had since I stopped cutting (self harm) over 10 years ago. It’s been an issue for awhile but I never brought it up to anyone because I figured there’s no point. Basically it goes numb if I’m even standing for 1 minute. I have to constantly be moving. And I can’t lay on my back to sleep because it goes numb then too so I have to lay on my sides. I also asked to be tested for diabetes since it runs in my family and the meds I’m on increasing the risk. So he put in some orders for blood work (to test diabetes, cholesterol, iron, and thyroid). So I’ll be going to get that done hopefully next week. And he put in a referral for me to see a female OBGYN for my Pap test since I wanted a female to do it.

Anyway, it went well. He asked me how playing the ukulele is going and we talked about instruments for a minute.

He did a physical exam and everything seems to be fine.

He’s a good doctor, I’m glad I have him
