Aww. Hopefully the results will be in soon and it will take away that waiting feeling.

Gloss is the type of paint I'm using for the dado rail, banister and skirting boards. Can't remember what you guys call them. The boards around the bottom of all the walls, it's like white varnish. Really sticky so it's taking ages.

Jumped out my skin. Jamie dropped something.

My nerves are gone. Blahhh.

Oh yeah, so I would call that paint with a gloss finish. I get it by your description of the rail, banister, and skirting boards. I just didn't understand it when I first read it.

My nerves are with your nerves.

I know this is starting to turn into a journal, I said as much previously. Anyway, it helps me to document things as they happen. I've actually used my weights/dates (among other details) from the original Score so far thread as documentation to take to the doctor's.

Fasting blood labs are in the book! I set my sights on today and did it.

But the first thing I did today was reach for something on my night table and knock over an empty cup...that landed right on my foot. Grabbed an ice pack for 15 minutes then limped out to do the blood draw. Still limping.

Why, in my life, is there always a story behind the story? Always involves something weird. I've learned to live with it.

The score so far on pathological stress shopping:

New jeans
Fall throw I don't need
(I can't remember everything)
Book from eBay came in about a horse.
(Looking around to see what I see here)
Baby pumpkins from Walmart, real ones from produce.
Fall stems from Walmart (more of one kind that I didn't need but love, they're cheap-ish)
Lightweight fall jacket (pre-owned)
(Do I have any money left in the bank?)
A welcome sign with pinecones I don't need
I know there's other stuff but I can't remember it.

I'm sure I'll come to my senses and return some of the above. I know I'm a crazed loon. No need to point it out. I'm all about dopamine hits right now. Yesterday I felt perfectly normal for most of the day, cleaned out the front garden bed to make it ready for fall. So it's not like I'm sitting around all the time ordering material stuff for no good reason.

Here's the book I bought used from eBay:

I'm back and I'm not scared either! Blood lab results came in already. I knew it was the blood labs so I dove into the portal and although I don't know exactly what it means (yes, I googled) in terms of diagnosis, they don't scare me at all.

Absolutely every result on the full adult panel was normal except for two things and they don't look like much of a ping to me but still, they pinged. One touch low and one touch high. I'm putting the actual results on this thread I can't even believe I'm doing this but like I said, this is one way for me to quickly document things to look back on. The L and H are low and high. Normal range is to the right of that.

Albumin 3.7 L 3.9-4.9 (g/dL) DV
MCV 98 H 79-97 (Florida) DV

The main thing I want to acknowledge is that I'm not scared now. Something is going on for sure but I think my sense of totally slipping down the drain of doom has lifted at least for the time being. My glass is full again.

I'm really happy that all the other tests are normal! All of them except those 2 little pings!

CT scan isn't in the portal. I'm NOT going to look at it when it comes. I won't understand it and will drive myself crazy trying to. If my primary knows me (I really think she does) she won't submit it and keep it away from me until we meet again to discuss.

That all sounds positive. Sounds like you can breathe a little.

Thank you! I think so, too. I just hope we can get to the bottom of this so I can feel well again. Like eat like a normal person without worrying about the after effects.

Aww fingers crossed for you. X

I get sweats and sometimes palpitations after eatin too much but that's EDS, dysautonomia and EOE related.

YOU GUYS. It's right on about midnight. For the last 6 months at this time of night I have been sitting with a heat pack on my tummy. I'm not doing that tonight.

My stomach is working.

Hope you were able to get a good night's sleep. Sleep makes everything easier.

I ate three small meals and two snacks yesterday as usual. Braced myself for the worst and got the best! First good night's sleep I've had in 6 months! I hoping this is an upturn in what's been my miserable little journey here.
