Saw the PA today

I was nervous going in to see the PA today because I was so prepared (spreadsheet, requested tests, questions, etc.) but I should have known better. Shellie has been so cooperative and easy to work with in the past that I knew I could count on her. She appreciated my spreadsheet and me being so detailed. We went over all the tests I had written down and we discussed the ones I've already had and wouldn't need to repeat at this time. She did agree on redoing the B12 and Vitamin D test though since I have consistently been low on both and it's been 3 months since my last tests. She also agreed to look at the female hormones. We haven't tested those before and so she thought that would be appropriate. She also has a doctor in mind if I do have any issues. We talked about my 'air hunger' issue and she decided to give me an inhaler for 3-4 weeks to see if it helps. I've been wheezing once in awhile and she's hopeful it will help with that too. I got my blood drawn for the labs today and should have the results back within 2 weeks. I have an appointment to go back in 3 weeks to follow up on how effective the inhaler is with the 'air hunger' issue. Overall I feel the appointment went really well. Oh, and she also encouraged me to get Methyl B12 instead of using the tablets. I really felt like she listened to me and that she wants to help me figure out what is causing my fatigue, intolerance to cold, hair loss, lack of appetite, air hunger, etc. I don't want to get my hopes up too much that we'll find answers but I have to admit that I am feeling hopeful. If nothing else we can rule out some other issues.

I'm still very tired today. Just going to my doctor's appointment wore me out. I didn't get anything done around the house and certainly didn't get any grocery shopping done. I'm going to try to go to the grocery store tomorrow morning before it gets too hot or it rains. We're out of a lot of stuff so I have to go to the store. I made the sorbet last night without a banana and it was terrible. The banana gives it the right taste and consistency. Definitely have to get some bananas. I'll probably have to go to Sprout's and Target because I need some paper goods at Target and I need to get the Methyl B12 at Sprouts. Hopefully I can do both. Sprout's will be the priority though. Paper goods can wait until Thursday if I can't do both. If I get out there early enough I think I can do it.

I haven't juiced for 2 days now because standing at the counter is difficult. I'll try to get back to it tomorrow after I go to the store. I'll need a nutritious, refreshing juice once I get home.

So, it was an encouraging day even though I'm still feeling fatigued. That's it for now.
