I have been getting nosebleeds and tonight I started coughing up blood. Thankfully, the Specialist is going to call this next week, and maybe if I do the crying bit they'll see me early. It sucks having to wait, but apparently this type of thing is common with what is going on with me. I just researched that over the Internet. It's just annoying having to wait.

Er, don't think I can help you with that.
I've got to log off now -- need to be at the airport by 5:30
in the morning, so bedtime now. I promise a major flirting
expedition tomorrow evening. :raisebro:
The E.R. won't tell me anything. The lab didn't even find out what the problem really was. You should see what they said in the results. I can't believe I spent that much money on them just finding out what it wasn't.

For the first time in a long long time, I met someone who makes me think, "yeah, I can change a bit about myself for her". We were supposed to go out - just hang out and maybe some dancing in a club - not a date. But she cancelled - "not feeling well", she says. I believe her, but I'm afraid that part of it may be disinterest, helped along by some genuine unwellness.

I've been there - at least once, I decided that not knowing and potentially risking death from an unknown illness was better than spending $600 on an MRI.
But that doesn't mean that I wasn't being a moronic idiot.
The tests that come out with no results are very useful - they tell that you aren't going to die of an illness that matches your symptoms and that's one less thing to worry about, one more thing to check off that list and one more step towards good health and peace.
On another occasion (when I had insurance that covered everything ), I had to get tests (in ER and outside ) that cost $20k+, and gave me no conclusive diagnosis. But what it did tell my doctors was that I had no illness known to man - which put my odds of surviving and recovering completely very high. And I survived, and I recovered. It does nothing to bring the patient immediate peace or consolation, but it does everything to bring the doctors a sigh of relief for that patient - and at the end of the day, that's the only thing that matters. Please go to ER.

There is a term for this 'the worried well' ie it is better to be slightly hypochondriac and get checked out than letting an undiagnosed condition go unnoticed or untreated.

It's Monday. If you haven't already done so, SP, call your doctor today. Describe your symptoms at least to the phone nurse and follow whatever directions they give. It doesn't matter whether you call your family practitioner or a specialist, you should consult a physician. Don't wait for a scheduled appointment. Tell the doc's office what's going on and them them decided whether it can wait.
