he listened for ages and i actually think ive found a docter that i like/can relate to… ex rugby player, went through all the weight training etc understands it etc.
but back to the matter at hand
he took my blood pressure, its normal
checked come ear thing, its normal
did a pile of stuff with his stethscope, says ive got good lungs and a good heartbeat
he dipped my urine and says that came back normal, but hes sending it away anyway.
he then took about 7 vials of blood of me.
he testing for lukiema, anemia, diabeties, some liver thing, iron, something to do with protein and my testostorone levels.
says he wants to rule the “worst” case scenarios first…
then he might send me for a sleep study.
my results come back next wednesday but im going to belgium so i wont get them untill the 23rd unless they ring me before hand, which will prob only happen if there is something serious comes up in the blood/urine
hes told me to keep of the stimulants like red bull etc… and just try to relax untill then.
the mention of lukiema and diabities has me worried as there is a history of both in my family on both sides i think. :S
I wake up some mornings and have stains on my teeth, ive only realised in the last week that my gums are bleeding during the night… which i was going to go see a dentist about.
this never happened in glasgow, so its started in the last 2 weeks…
also the last time i sleep walked was when i was 5 and was sick, but suddenly to do it twice in one week when im not perceiving myself to be ill…
recap:
no sexual urge
grumpy
short tempered
tired all the time
trouble sleeping
sudden sleep walking
bleeding gums at night
day dreaming
short term memory worse

Bonus!
I know it’s easier said than done, but you need to just chiiiiilll until you get your results.

my mum has just went on holidays… im stealing hers for the next week. and see if that helps.
on the possible depression/anxiety front. i dont see what i would be depressed/anxious about… ive just went through the whole drama of first year at uni… got back into 2nd year…
this summer im tight on cash, but im back into my fav gym, back doing the job i love and seeing all my old friends etc again.
he is hell bent that the reason for my feeling weird is because im am using protein and creatine. he says its “so” unnatural and my body doesnt need it. he says i should stop weight training and swim.

Might just be me who finds this amazing but i think we’re playing you was a warm-up match at some point! could be funny! ! ![/quote]
glad he tested those test levels because it does sound alot like depresion but at the same time low test levels can show the same thing and it is comonly misdiagnosed
also you dont have to have anything to be anxious for or depressed about if you have it its there you dont realy have to be mad or sad
but glad you went to the doc to get it sorted out
let us know whats up when you find out.
my mum is going to go get the results while im off in belgium… and text me them. so im hoping it aint something im going to have to fly home for like lukiema or anema.
but he doesnt think its anything to do with my test levels as its came on pretty quickly. like 2 weeks… he said something wong with my testostorone levels would probably be a more gradual thing…
convince someone to sleep with you to tell you if you grind your teeth, cause if you are, you need to get a guard made else you will grind your molars to dust

got a sex friend coming over on sunday. that very thing will be happening. ill see if she says anything.
Good on you to visit the doctor. Not many people do.
Serious problems are usually rare - as the human body is a very resiliant structure. However, as rare as they may be it’s worth taking things like this seriously. It’s better to catch something nasty sooner rather than later.
Keep going to that doctor, thorough ones are a rare breed. Good luck.
