Kimmy, I hope the tests get to the bottom of this for you and it is easily treated and nothing serious.
As for endo I can relate. I have it but four weeks ago I had a hysterectomy to treat/end it. I hope it worked!!!
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
It's okay! It shows you care. :cool:Quote:

I eat a lot of beef, chicken, and fish. :)
Today was cereal and juice for breakfast, ham sandwiches with fruit, yogurt, and cheese and crackers for lunch, and I'm trying to decide between tuna or beef for dinner. :)
Go get some buffalo...awesome taste and none of the added hormones! And the bonus...98% fat free!
Me too!! :DQuote:

Absolutely dress up for the appointment - you'll be the patient that makes them smile - and remember you! :)Quote:

I'll dress up then! :)

Hope you feel better, Kimmy. I know the feeling. I just had 5 vials of blood (just in time for Halloween I guess) taken to test for everything possible, too. I hate the waiting. Fingers crossed that you're OK...
:eek: ;)
Just got back from the doctors. Went well and I should get the results of the blood work in a couple of days.
They are testing for anemia, diabetes, & thyroid specifically as well as running a full CC panel and Lipid panel.
Dr. Eaton said if everything comes back normal, then she may recommend me for a sleep study.
And for the first time in 14 years I didn't pass out after having the blood drawn. I was impressed with myself. :D
I hope you can get some answers, Kimmy. When I read that you fell asleep, while kneeling down to pet the cats, something triggered in my mind that it might be a sleep disorder. I knew a lady, a long time ago, who suffered from a sleep disorder and would fall asleep in some strange situations. The scary part was that it could happen when she was driving a car.
You be safe and take care of yourself.
Logan
We are hanging in there with you, Kim!
No experience with pregnancy or endometriosis here and while I always says sleeping is my hobby I still never felt asleep while feeding the cats.....
So I keep my fingers crossed that the tests will turn out with something that is easy to fix :)

Dystonia?
Try Googling that.
