Starting Imuran Today

[bcv513]

I really tried to put it off for as long as I could, but it's time. I went today and my bloodwork is all bad again. Iron, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Potassium all in the tubes. I thought I was exhausted from getting married and going away, but nope. I'm a little nervous but mostly hopeful that this will work. My poor H. All mystery in our marriage is gone when he has to take my stool sample to the lab. Thank God he's a good sport!

Good luck, I hope you get really great results and get to feeling better soon.

I did not have to enlist my H to take my stool sample anywhere, but I did have to store mine temporarily in the fridge before taking it in (in several outter containers, of course) and warn him not to even dare look in it.

Good luck!

Good luck!
I feel your pain on the mystery thing. It's gotten to the point where H doesn't hesitate to ask me about the current state of my pooping. No. Mystery. AT ALL.

I had my appointment with my new PCP today, and he ordered a ton of labs that I have to go back and have done. He's already talking medication options depending on what my labs show, which I appreciate since my last PCP just wanted me to eat more vegetables to cure myself. He also gave me three referrals (GI, GYN, and derm) and I've already got the appointment scheduled with the GI in less than a month.

@pixiechinchilla, that's great news! I'm glad your new PCP is so proactive.
