Messed up!

Letter from GP this morning telling me my blood tests need to be redone.
Panic!
Had to wait till my appointment at 3 to find out why.
That was a long wait.
Fortunately, it wasn't earth shattering news and what she did have to tell me was well explained.
Retest in 4 weeks to see if immunoglobulin results are rogue or indicative of another problem.
Further retest in 3 months to re-check thyroxine and TSH levels.
Blood pressure low. Lower upon standing. Appears that my body is slow to rebalance. No shit!
As a result of ongoing issues with the blood pressure and dizzy spells, I am now reducing one of my meds on a graduated reduction over two weeks. This may help the blood pressure. If it does, YAY, if it doesn't...more prodding and poking!
It's beginning to feel like it's never ending.

Currently waiting for the big storm. It started. Then it stopped. Will be mightily peeved if we don't get a belter of a storm...

(Says the girl who, up until 9 years ago, was terrified of thunder and lightning. Genuinely, hide under the covers, stay away from the windows terrified. Now? Shouting at the sky to get on with it!!!!)
