Well, I went to the doctor for the followup visit yesterday. Finally.
The good news? No cancer.
Now, let’s see…
- Weight is still fluctuating. This time it was down 10 pounds from the last time I saw them. Whatever. My thyroid is normal.
- Ulcers – 2, small, right next to each other. I tested negative for H. Pylori – so it’s a combo of stress, too much acid, and my headache pills. I’m not giving up my headache pills – I’m a chronic headache sufferer (hormones cause them, nothing I can do about it.) So I’m to stay on the drugs I was on. The ulcers will heal slower, but counter-act the effects of the headache stuff on my stomach.
- Cholesterol – High! This surprised me, as that’s new. Never been high before. No drugs – although I may try some supplementation along with diet.
- Hernia – I am about to get a stomach hernia. It’s just begun. There’s nothing they can do about it until it pops, for lack of a better phrase. And in fact, it may never do so. So, yay for ticking timebombs.
- Acid Reflux – since I’m still having acid reflux and heartburn (and no they are not necessarily one and the same) even through the other medication I’m on… And the way my stomach feels after eating, I’m on a new drug for motility. Basically to move the food better on through. So, I’ll be starting on that.
Another follow up in 3 months.
