Anyway glad all is well in that department.<br /><br />Been reading your past few posts, and totally love and understand your change of direction. I think that's all i need to say :) I'll be here to visit when I can!

I had trouble getting information from my doctor a number of years ago, I was having some persistent symptoms and he just kept prescribing anti-biotics. My foot doctor was the one who found a diabetic ulcer on my toe and diagnosed diabetes. I switched doctors! My new doctor gave me a code and now I can access all my medical information from his web-site. That is a nice option. I hear you on the menopause! So much we've never been told! It's amazing how it affects the mind, the body and our over-all health. Good luck on your journey to better health and enjoy your day off.kayerjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08479123027080062607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-33348962966550404072015-04-03T23:57:30.321-04:002015-04-03T23:57:30.321-04:00Yay!!!

Interesting about the chiropractor. Gage has seen every kind of doc under the sun and just in the past month or so a few moms recommending a chiro. I'd like to know what you think about your experience. Keep on keeping on, girl!stacybuckeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811500448951042300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-56038101446957152782015-03-18T23:13:44.446-04:002015-03-18T23:13:44.446-04:00Oh my goodness, I would have such a hard time with...Oh my goodness, I would have such a hard time with your diet although I know it's what we all really should be doing. With spring here, we'll do much better - Jeff and I will be empty nesters soon and I see a lot of salads in our future. Glad to hear that you're taking matters into your own hands regarding your health. I'd get my records from the doctors and then leave one more message for them - that they've lost you as a patient because of their disregard for their patients. They may think one patient isn't a big deal, but one patient talks to another person talks to another person...Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-77091444389796553212015-03-17T01:30:46.021-04:002015-03-17T01:30:46.021-04:00As long as you are doing what works for you, I say...As long as you are doing what works for you, I say more power to you!

I...I would not assume that no news is good news. I'd call them again. I've had the lab and doctor's lose my results before or forget to call me because the results came on while on vacation. The only good result is one that is confirmed, IMO. Call again, missy. <br /><br />Good luck with the diet. I love eating that way but it becomes a challenge with my family. I already have the gluten free thing going so doing that to them would cause pushback for sure.

I would be going somewhere else as well if I wasn't getting a call back. That is a bit ridiculous. My son had to have a heart test to make sure he didn't have a heart murmur and I raised hell when they didn't get back to me on it! He was fine but still....what it says about our health system when you have to fight to find out test results....ugh!

And...Your health goals sound very sensible, Staci. And as to the doctor's office, well, isn't that annoying? Yes, you'd think they'd let you know. Maybe they will mail your something. My doctor's office sends blood test results by mail to me, with notes on whatever is good or bad. That same doctor called me within an hour years ago when I had a pelvic ultrasound that was very abnormal. She said, you're going to have to do something quick and doesn't your daughter work for an ob/gyn? And she did and I got things tended to in record time. So, that's to say that if there was a problem, I'd bet they would have called. <br /><br />Good luck as you seek the cause of some of your issues. With a history of certain conditions, I think sometimes we just have to be assertive about our care. I had a nurse tell me that one time and it's also the advice that my daughter (also a nurse) would say. You know your body better than anyone. Take care and keeping you in my thoughts. :-)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-86750539050483150352015-03-15T12:27:49.266-04:002015-03-15T12:27:49.266-04:00I am so over doctors right now, I could scream.

I work with a chiropractor and massage therapist too, and they do more for me than any prescription. Natural supplements and essential oils are working for me with my thyroid and adrenal issues. I wish you all the best as you seek for that which will work the best for you!Nise' https://www.blogger.com/profile/15586400022454009379noreply@blogger.com
