Anxiety from Waiting
I went to the Doctor last week and they wanted to test my magnesium levels so I had some blood drawn. They said if they're low then they will prescribe a supplement to help etc.
Anyway I got a call yesterday saying that they want me to come back in and do some more testing because my phosphorus levels in my blood were elevated. So I left work early and went in and had some tests done. Anyway the nurse that called said, make an appointment in two weeks to discuss the results as it will take some time to get them back.
My anxiety level is at a heightened level to begin with, nows its SKY HIGH!! I can't stop obsessing over what the results will be. I don't know what to do!
The AV is screaming at me too, but I know thats common especially with the mental state I'm in.
I have to wait 9 days and I know I will survive that long but I hate not knowing, its eating me alive!

Drinking won't change anything, including the amount of time you will be waiting for the test results. If it were critical, you wouldn't be waiting 9 days. Think of something else. Distract yourself.
Like Carl said, it's a waste of energy to worry. I've done it myself before, but really, let it go.

Nurse called, said my phosphorus levels are normal. The normal range is 2.4-4.7 or something like that, anyway my level was 4.7 when they checked it and now its 3.2. So I feel worn out for worrying like that.
They are still waiting on my thyroid test, although that came out normal back in July. Still I guess they are being cautious!
I feel sore from tensing up so much and a little silly for worrying about this all through the night, still though, this anxiety is too much sometimes!
