No luckily those blood tests hv come back I haven't had a heart attack, thank god. Thanks for asking @DCUKMod.@ickihun - are you saying your have had a heart attack, as in a diagnosed coronary event at the time you are referring to in the quoted part of your text I've copied below?

Not sure I could be as stoical as you. Just seems you get over one thing and something else hits you. Hope the endoscopy goes well and that they can get to the bottom of what is going on.I do the same but mainly only about my health. Only time I don't get stressed is typing on here. Even talking about my health status to a company who needs to know. (i.e gas company) by telephone I come off the call in a right state unless I do the call a bit at a time. E-on are great with me, luckily. I say I hv 'health anxiety'. Only because if a mistake made I feel it's fatal for me.
My life has changed from multipal pregnancy tests bought to having heart attack checking blood tests. I support bhf with furniture etc so hopefully I'm paying them back for those costs. Thx God for British Heart Foundation eh?
Still having symptoms and bleeding so my own surgeon is redoing endoscopy and having my Ultrascan redone too. He'll find where I'm bleeding from. I feel so much more relaxed. I feel a weight off my shoulders on exiting the Royal yesterday.I'm taking the not so good painkillers but had a nasty attack of scatica yesterday morning. I'm not ready to give up my walking aid yet. However my insulin need may hv come to a stand still unless a weight loss boost from somewhere. I had to take novarapid last night as I drank some milk as an experiment for this morning's congealed blood from lying down. I must admit I didn't get that lump but I did before sleep instead so milk hasn't stopped the bleeding but congealed it sooner. Milk has always raised my bgs. On top of a delayed valentines supper with partner without kids my peak was 17.9 humf! Mind u I had a stressful day as smear that morning and it was painful. I wonder if I do hv fibromyalgia still as pain is definately my enemy. My poor nurse. I had to console her as I cried with pain. I really hate smears no matter what I tell myself.
One day I hope just a blood test, instead. I bet I'm not the only women who feels that way.
I'm more confident they will now. I'm still getting swellings on my stomach, like a water balloon effect. This was pre-op status too. I was assured it would go away. Maybe I need more weight off. Maybe. I'm still classed as obese so looking to get down to overweight or in range with my BMI. We'll see. I'm much more relaxed about things now.Not sure I could be as stoical as you.

Keep being positive. I would have imagined all sorts of things wrong with me which is utterly stupid, much better to have a calm laid back approach if you can and let the doctors do their work.I'm more confident they will now.

Yea thats a killer - i had to stop buying them to avoid me snacking on them. I have been having some soya nuts which are a lower calorie sub in - depends howl ow carb you are though.This is where eating too many nuts has got me - weight has increased by nearly a kilo - 55 and three quarter kilos, mind you they were delicious.
To be honest I don't religiously count my carbs, I just eat food that is zero or low carb. Realise I have exceeded my quota by quite a bit, will be reassessing I think.Yea thats a killer - i had to stop buying them to avoid me snacking on them.

@SlimLizzy yeah, I find it gives me more consistent weights. The diabetic nurse weighs me in my clothes and shoes. I wear orthotics as well. My track pants, socks and everything add about a good 1.5kg. I have slipped into the underweight category now for the first time in my life. BMI 18.3 now. My knees are killing me, I am anemic, but my goal is 50kg.
