@geezerette @cowboy sam @Yahooey @PamfromCT : My blood test results was in my patient portal. Three blood test were high! Neutrophils Absolute 8.1,Eosinophils Absolute 0.5,WBC 11.5. I researched each one. Not claiming the negative. But indicates body dealing with stress,inflammation, arthritis, ulcerative  colitis, swollen aching joints ,side effects to medications. Ok = all of my complaints to my doctor.🙄🙄🙄😯😯😯😯

Hello @cowboy sam, @SouthernBee, and all friends,

So happy that cowboy Sam's meds are on the way.  Maybe I am just too old to remember how things used to work.  Or is it memory failure?

And happy that Bee's gotten a cardio appointment, but has to wait until August 1st.  I do believe we have a shortage of doctors in our country.  Even though I live in a populated area, and three large hospitals right here, waiting to get an appointment with a specialist is like trying to meet the Pope.

And a number of our family doctors (mine included) can take

no more patients.  I have my ideas of how to start to fix this,  but who would listen to me?

Oh well, as the great philosopher my late cousin Phil once said, "The only thing golden about your old age is the color of your pee."  Oh how I miss her!  She was a riot.

@SouthernBee, Good to have some answers.  No doctor here, last time I took a course in Biology was in high school, but it seems a few ailments could be due to inflamation.  And, tell me, who nowadays does not have "stress"?  Only somebody who lives on another planet.  Hugs!

Hi  Y'all: I finally unboxed my new Shark Robot  Vacuum. It's bigger than my other one. Love that it self empties and cleans. Plus the brush roll cuts any hair. I get Dh  to move it for me. Needs to charge  6 hours.🤓🤓🤓

Re your test results:  well, DUH!!  That's what you've been trying to tell him and everyone else for months now!

Sheesh!🙄

@PamfromCT : I will listen to you!!!

My new water pill works. Drinking 5 of the 16.9 water bottles . My pee is clear and not golden.😮🤓🤓🤓🤓😮

@geezerette : Exactly. So much for my doctor's 30 years of experience. What gets me is that he waited so long to do that blood test!!!🙄🙄🙄

It will be interesting what he has to say when I go next week?? I liked the information about meditation side effects that my doctor claimed didn't happen.

It might be a good idea to take a copy of the medication side effects with you next week to show to him!😡

@geezerette : My doctor won't take the time to read anything from me.

Interesting that his nurse just called. Stating doctor said: Bloodwork looked good.Heart good . Just one problem: Thyroid over active and need 50 mg and just start taking  2 of the 25 mg😮🙄
