Hi guys just started this thread being as I can't find the original on I commented on in the past.
Went to the doctors today because I am suffering with massive mood swings and with it an uncontrollable rage, I had to do something before I done something silly because of it.
Anyway this may be a bit long winded so here goes
On the 17 January 2013 I was due to go to the doctors as I seemed to be drinking a lot and peeing a lot. Organised to be back in the yard and finished about 2 hours before my appointment time. But being as it was one of the worst winters we have had for many years and being a truck driver at the time things worked out that I never made it back to the yard in time and it took me an hour and a half to drive home as well. So I missed my doctors appointment anyway. So I was home for a long weekend and I was drinking even more and peeing even more. Until we came to Sunday night and I barely slept as every time I got to sleep I was up again for a pee I had a full bladder every 45 mins. And I was drinking around 10 litres of fluids a day and the same at night. When I got up on Monday morning to go in to work I was exhausted and I had terrible back pain. So being as I had a Barry South Wales to Liverpool run I didn't feel safe to do this so I rang in sick. And at 08:00 I got my partner to make me an appointment with the doctor, which it went to but as I was pondering what was wrong with me I realised it wasn't my back playing up, but it was my kidneys aching. So went to the doctor told him what was wrong. At this point he gave me a pee bottle, and sent me to provide him with a sample. Which I did when I came back in he did a test with a stick and immediately booked me in for a blood test the following morning and told me to fast for this one. So I was sent on my way. The following morning I couldn't drive the car due to the amount of snow on the ground. So being as the surgery is about a mile away I decided to walk over to the surgery. Whe I get there it's the normal booking in and wait. I had barely sat down when I was called in for my bloods to be taken. That's when the nurse just looked at me and asked "are you asthmatic?" I looked at her and said I'm meant to be yes why? She said I want you to have tests done on your chest!!!! So I hung around to have these tests done. Having these tests done I went home for a couple of days only to get a phone call from the doctor saying " ah john how are you feeling your not dead yet?" Which I was shaken by this and I had been summoned to his office the following day. ( sorry guys I got a job yo keep my eyes open if you want more then l carry on tomorrow
