I need a blood test, because I almost fainted last weekend, and I've been feeling too tired and too pale lately, so, I could have something wrong (anemia maybe)
So... it's a long time since my last blood test (about 8 years... :o) and I'm a bit scared of it! I really want to do it, though.... Wish me luck please!:)
Good luck!! Please keep us updated!!
Good luck! It's good you're getting help if you've been fainting like that. You could hurt yourself.
good luck!
Good thoughts going out for you, Natali. I hope they can find out what is wrong and that it can be easily remedied.
Best of luck!! You will be in my thoughts.
Best of luck with the tests. Sending positive thoughts your way. :)
Thank you everybody:)
I forgot to tell you another thing: I'm not allowed to eat anything since 6pm of today, until after the test, tomorrow's morning.... It's 9:30 pm now, and I'm really hungry... it could be because of the anxiety, but I really want to have dinner, but I can't... I'll have to go to bed early today....
Hmm they must be testing you for other possiblities as well, since you are not allowed to eat, it will be good for you to have a complete blood works done, just to elimnate anything, sounds a bit like you are low in Iron, I too have that problem, luckily it is usually easily fixed with either supplements and a change in diet, good luck, honestly it does not hurt much, I used to be scared of having blood tests as well, now I just don't worry about them anymore, and usually it is relatively painless. GOOD LUCK all the same and keep us posted as to how you go ok. :)
Good luck tomorrow. Drink plenty of water tonight, it'll help keep you from getting dehydrated, which makes getting blood drawn more difficult.
Good Luck and keep us posted.
Natali, good luck with your blood test tomorrow. It will give the doctors a clue about those near fainting spells. I've been through plenty of them and it's standard procedure not to eat the night before. I usually pig out after one of those!
Thank you so much everybody!:) I just came from my blood test, and it didn't hurt very much.... We bought some croissants on the way, because I was really hungry, I love eating so much.......
I'll have the results next thursday, so, I'm really anxious about it!
They wanted to do a full lipids profile, which requires fasting and no caffeine! *shudder*. I hope you're not hypoglycemic; fasting is very bad. You lived through it, so you probably don't have THAT problem!
I hope everything came out all right.
There now it wasn't too bad after all, and besides you had some yummy crossiants to make up for it, fingers and paws crossed that all will be well and fixable. good luck
