General musings and random ramblings *TRIGGERS*

[Jaquaia]

I have a diary. I need to get it out again

[Suzi]

Please do lovely...

[Jaquaia]

I have to say, that is the first blood test that has ever sent twinges of pain down my arm....

[Paula]

Ouch. I feel your pain

You’re on mood stabilisers now aren’t you?

[Jaquaia]

More bloods tomorrow too as my gp wants my hormone levels looking at.

I'm not. Just the vortioxetine. He wants me to give this a decent amount of time to get into my system as he could add in a mood stabiliser and there could be problems but we won't know what drug is causing it so we've wasted a month. Makes a lot of sense doing it this way really, it just doesn't help the agitation right now.

[Suzi]

Oh love! Sorry it's not straight forward for you now.

[Jaquaia]

I'm used to things not being straightforward!

And to top all that off, it's 24 degrees and hot enough that I'm wearing a dress, I'm trying to do my essay (sat really ladylike ) and my stomach has started! It can only be IBS but I'm fed up of doctors so never had it officially diagnosed...

[S deleted]

Oh I was diagnosed in a split second. I’d recently had full bloods done and so the GP saw that was fine and I’d barely got the words out and he was printing off fact sheets about managing IBS lol.

I think they all do it!!....if you have a dose of the runs and haven't had an India takeaway, been abroad, pigged out on fruit or drank too much Guinness...then the only thing left is IBS!!...just think...we could all be making 120k a year!! Simples!

[Jaquaia]

I will defend my GP! He had blood tests and me seeing a rheumatologist within 2 and a half weeks! Now I think that is awesome!!! And if my stomach doesn't settle, I can always use a cork
