How's your health lately? As someone with lots of health problems, I'm naturally curious.
(Also, I'm super nervous about seeing my hematologist on Wednesday...)

I hope your visit to your hematologist goes well. :D

I guess my health is okay, but my immunities do seem a little low. I get sick pretty often. I also have carpal tunnel in both wrists; I need surgery, but I'm delaying it as much as possible...

I know the feel of prolonging/delaying surgery. I was told a week or two ago I probably need decompression surgery in my neck by the orthopedist. However, he said it's not super urgent... But he wants to discuss it with me and my dad at the end of the month (dad couldn't go last time).

I'm just not sure that I can actually go through the process of having the surgery and having to recover...

Eek that's rough. Stuff like that is scary. I hope that goes well for both of you.


Mostly for me I have issues with my bladder. Prone to UTI for one, and bladder just I guess is in rough shape overall. Main thing right now is my kidney's. In stage four kidney disease. Hoping I don't have to do dialysis or transplant eventually. They only found that this year. Guess that explains most of my issues I've been having. Also makes me have anemia so I get worn out a lot.

Sorry to hear about this too! I have always had anemia tendencies myself... but mostly for other reasons. Though who knows? Might relate to the sudden thrombocytosis diagnosis I'm getting checked. :'D Either way... Kidney disease is scary. My godfather was on dialysis a long time. :c I hope you won't need it!

Aw, thanks. Honestly I think it was going on for a while. Guess that's why I was always tired. XD

@Megan I'm sorry to hear about your kidney problems. :( I hope that it can be managed without requiring a transplant.

I've got type 2 diabetes which has caused some issues with my eyes but the eye doctors are looking into options. The biggest thing that could happen if I don't get them sorted is permanent blurry vision with no way to fix it once it happens.

I've had it for about ten years and due to my own stupidity I didn't have the medication I was given for so many years so it's caused some issues with my health.
