Well ladies,as expected,got a look of astonishment when I told her I'd cancelled colonoscopy,even though she knew I didn't want it in the first place,said,surely you want to know if there's something wrong with you,you shouldn't be losing weight,s'funny I said,other dr told me it was anxiety,and specialist said my bloods were borderline but dr then said,yes,high borderline though,asked about capsule and she said that's for the small intestine only?!? I need my large intestine checked out,also got “the look “ for stopping sertraline,well it does take a week or two for it to settle into your system,oh really Mrs doctor? I'd like to see you turn up for work every morning wanting to throw up constantly,so basically it's Valium for me if I have a blip with the anxiety,she's going to write to consultant to see if he'll do a ct colonoscopy instead,oh and we should NOT take CBD as apparently it's not controlled by anyone,aaaaarghhhhhhhh frikkin gps,I've waited almost 4 weeks to see her and she clearly was wanting me out of there,very short answers to my questions.
Sorry,rant over

That's what I thought sparkle,I'm not sure it JUST takes pix of the small intestine.I was almost made to feel ashamed today, I can't believe how much doctors don't listen to you
Anyway,least I'm getting something done,she kept going on like there was something terrible wrong with me because of the weight loss but I tentatively weighed myself today albeit after my dinner but I've put the weight back on,which makes me think it was just the anxiety,feel a bit happier now 😊
Thanks for all your support of late,it does really help & I've had such a laugh along the way xx

That's good to know sparkle about the weight loss, I now remember a couple of years ago I was recalled following a mammogram & of course thought the worst and over the weekend my weight plummeted,I suppose you've no control over it,the more weight I lose the more anxious I get,never ending cycle,blimey,it's tiring being a woman
The laughs have definitely kept me going 😊

Haha ,I've been eating tonnes to gain,my poor body isn't sure what's going on.its Sod's law really,usually at this time (before our cruise) I'm going crazy coz I can't lose weight so I can fit (comfortably) into my dresses,on cross trainer for an hour a day,taking dogs up hills,sit ups,weights you name it,sweat pouring off me,do I lose so much as an ounce?nup
Think now I'm not caring,it's not like I'm obese or even fat,if I've learnt anything,it's who cares if you're carrying a few extra pounds,as long as you're healthy 😊
Anyway,there's a gym on the ship hahahahahahahahaha yeah,right 😂

Omg tell me about it,bloody stomach is ok one day & rubbish the next,I never used to have to watch what I eat but now?!?!
I either look 7 months pregnant or like a 6 stone weakling 😅 what can you do. I just sent away a blood sample to get tested for food intolerances,to a place called cera,don't know how reliable it is but not much chance getting it done via nhs,have you ever been tested?

I'm not sure how reliable this test is,it's an online site but it seemed to have the best results,was £99!!! Tests for over 200 things but I didn't have anything to lose,it was a blood test and they send everything,so I ****ed my finger and was squeezing blood into little test tube thing and did I not knock it over?blood went everywhere 😂 I thought oh god,now I've got to squeeze even more blood out but I managed,here's me that hates blood,anyway they contact you via email,so I'm not sure how long it takes,they could just send you back any old rubbish but if it does come back with something i'll definitely eliminate what they say and see if it works,hope it's not alcohol 🤣 if it is,then think I'll wait til after holiday.
What have you eliminated from your diet?

😂 sorry to laugh,I'm just imagining you on an actual date & being asked out for a meal,where shall we go?italian?nope,Chinese?nope,steakhouse?nope
Nice cuppa tea it is then😄
Do these foods upset your stomach or what sort of effect do they have.
I'm no alcoholic but boy do I look forward to my glass of wine on a Friday night,not sure what would take it's place,I'd have to start smoking 🚬 lol
