Thanks, as Is typical with my health anxiety my "episode" with trouble swallowing ended followed by new worries.

At my last check up my kidney function looked impaired on the labs. I didn't stress out because I know sometimes eating heavy can cause it and with the holidays I was eating heavy. But I got another test and it was WAYYY worse. My kidney function is "just" at the normal level. Even my doctor is concerned and asked me to get it retested and added a urine. Because I know that eating poorly can cause issues I am waiting a bit to get it done and eating better. But what the HECK. I get tested frequently for a condition I have and my kidney function is always excellent... how could it have fallen so far and so fast? My last perfect test was in October.

And then, my doctor told me to drink water, and I did, and I didn't drink that much... but my eye has gotten red... like a hemmorage. I have seen this kind of thing happen before but it is infrequent... so it went away last night, or so I thought... by 2 PM it is back.. what the HECK. I think it was from too much water -- I am only putting it togther now that it has happened before when I was fasting and when I fast I have more water. In any event I did have my eyes checked last year but when I went to the doctor for another hemmorage they said it was pink eye... but I don't think it was... I have to get into see a doctor but no one is available for this for 2 months - of course. I swear all doctors now have a base 2 month wait.

So two more things to worry about and another 3 month "episode".
