update on my white knuckle visit to the doctor.
 

Thank you everyone! You were all very right. My doctor was very comforting and compassionate, and he gave me a logical explanations and possible alternatives to all of the symptoms I've been having. He also told me I would have my results at the end of the day, and that if I had any questions I could call him personally today. Now that's a stretch coming from him because usually he's pretty dry.he doesn't seem worried. I still am, but good lord am i proud of myself or what! I literally feel like I need a sticker or a lollipop as my reward.again I can't thank you enough, when I have the results I will post more!

Great news, luisa. Yes, please let us know the results.

Yay! Good to hear. Now you can pray for me. I have my appointment today.

I'm not worried. Yet. :wink:

Glad it went well! Probably lifted a big weight on your shoulders.

Even if everything comes back aok, please don't let it be an excuse to think you can go back to drinking.

:c011:

Glad everything went good and be sure to let us know the results.

If I was near you I would get you a lollypop, you deserve it.

Done!

I have NO excuses to go back to drinking.

Root beer is my favorite flavor of lolly. Just sayin'.

That's the way to think. now to go find a rootbeer lolly

When I went to the doctor a few days after quitting drinking, I was a basket case! My problem was high blood pressure, which I was already on medication for but it was scary high when I stopped drinking. Now, two months later, I've dropped one medication altogether and the other is down to 1/4 dose. I feel confident your results are going to be fine, and anything that may be cause for concern is temporary and will benefit greatly from continued sobriety and healthy choices.

I'm glad it went well. :hug:

Great to hear! Stay strong and stay sober regardless!

Think of what a happy fulfilling weekend you will have, clean and healthy too - mind AND body!

Here you go...you can even pick what color you like best!

Lollipops are going to carry me through until my lab results are in.

Well done!!!

It's approaching 430 in Connecticut and my MD Has not called me. Bummer. I called him and my results are in, but not read. They gave him a note to call me. Seems like I can't cut a mental break. Came home early to relax and watched an episode of my stranded addiction where a girl had a liver enlarged by 60 percent from eating plastic. She looked so fresh and healthy and had no clue. Then have had stomach cramps all day. Should I call the doctor? Ugh. There's nothing I can do to stop the panic some times.

I think that you are getting yourself too worked up. I am praying for you though. We are all here for you.

To take your mind off it for a bit.

I would imagine that if you are having stomach cramps it is from panic and anxiety while waiting for the results. I know that when I am really super nervous about something my stomach gets tied in knots where I am literally doubled over in pain. What I do is make sure I am breathing in and out slowly from my belly and relaxing my belly while I am doing it. Don't forget to breathe! Do something to take your mind off of it. Watch cartoons on television instead of addiction programs. I like Spongebob or Phineas and Ferb.

ha ha ... my daughter is watching Spongebob as we speak!!!!!
