On Wednesday I felt like myself again, waking and eating in the morning and having consistent energy levels throughout the day. However yesterday my condition slip again and it has continued into today. My joints and lower back ache, my mind feels fuzzy and incoherent and I feel as if my energy stores and depleted. Also when I walked my dog yesterday I had an intense pain in the upper abdomen that was making me wince. My mind keeps going back to my last doctors visit, where I was told my iron levels were high but that fact wasn't looked into. I keep staring at webpages about hemochromatosis and my symptoms seem to fit.
Today I came to the conclusion that my best course of action would be to acquire my test results and go to a night clinic in hopes of getting answers, not more questions. Because of these events I am unsure about my ability to participate in the annual bootcamp tomorrow. It's very hard for me to write this but I am at a point where I am actual scared of my condition.
I'm about to head to Edmonton to pick up my results and will be updating this post as I get new information.
UPDATE: After driving to central Edmonton to pick the results and driving back, I opened the envelope I was given to only find the results for the urine sample. I needed the results from the blood samples to execute my plan and now find myself with no other options until next week. Since my condition is so volatile I won't know if I'm well enough for bootcamp until the morning of. I will be at class tonight and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
From what I seen, you must have had a good day Sihing because you did pretty darn good at Boot camp!
ReplyDeleteAny dr should be able to view your results online. All lab results are on a central database. I hope you find some answers soon.
