I had my annual female check yesterday. He couldn't have been any more disinterested. This is pretty much my appointment. Doc: Well, you aren't due for a pap so we don't need to do an exam. Was there anything you'd like to talk about? Me:(thinking: really? Why do we call it an annual, then?) Well, yes, I've been experiencing pain with intercourse and vaginal dryness. Doc: You're still regular (menstruating)? Me: Yep. I missed June, but every 23 - 28 days is the norm. Doc: You're not menopausal, so estrogen won't help (me thinking: okaaay... I don't want estrogen). Have you tried any OTC lubrication? Me: Not really, I wanted to talk with you first. I've been on a wellness path and been trying to remove toxins from my body... Doc:(interrupts) Toxins are everywhere, in you food, in your clothes... Me: Yes, I know. Which is why I'm trying to reduce them. Do you have any recommendations? Doc: Just start experimenting. Anything else? Me: Well, yes, I've been having pain in my lower abdomen. I wanted to talk about the fibroid tu... Doc: (interrupting again) If it was the tumor, there would be lots of blood. Me: Oh! Okay, but I've been having these pains... Doc:(interrupting again) Everybody gets cramps for a number of reasons. If there isn't anything else we're all set until next year. Me: ...I guess not. That's it folks. That was my appointment. I left with nothing. No exam, no mammogram, no answers... (For those questioning, my grandmother had uterine cancer, my grandfather had breast cancer, and my mother had a plasmacytoma.) To give you an idea of how much the medical industry has changed, this is the man who delivered my son. The man whose praises I have been singing for 20 years. The man whose own child interned with my husband so he could graduate from college. He is now the man to whom I will not return, next year or any other.
Seeing may favorite Doc this afternoon. I'll fill him in on that appointment and ask if he knows of a naturopathic women's health Doc, too. I also think it's time I see the gastro guy about the hiatal hernia. Haven't slept well all week because of GERD. Doesn't matter what I eat, it feels like it's backing up into my throat. Chest pain... Not bad like it was the night of the incident, but that went away in 45 minutes. This has gone on for days. Which makes me believe 'the incident' was an esophageal spasm instead of cardiac. Still... it got me on the exercise path, which needed to happen. My joints are killin' me. I am so stiff... I'm really frustrated. I'm feel like I'm going backwards instead of progressing. My feet are cramping, my knees, back, and hips hurt... Can high humidity really wreak this much havoc on a body???
Dang it! I got distracted again. I was going to head to the gym an hour ago, but decided to "weigh in" before I left. If you have gotten this far... Kudos! Have a fantastic week!! Blasting off to Planet Fitness.
