DOCTORS VISIT

I have been to the doctors today, she said my Vit D and Calcium are fine still need to take supplementd tho.

ESR still 5

then she said my bloods are 11.8 instead of 11 does she mean serum c protein, i did ask her about that but seem preoccupied with the 11.8, then asked me when do i go to Chapell Allerton in 3 weeks i said, she come back then as i would like to know what they say.

So it looks ok i think, as she did seem pleased she said you look happy guess what (boring) i said my grandson was born at weekend she said thats why and then asked all about the labour, of course i told her she was impressed for a woman of my age to know so much. lol

She really is a lovely doctor. 

Well take care all of you. Mags

Margaret, that GP visit sounds as if it went well. Good for you! I don't know what the significance of a reading of 11.8 vs 11.0 is - if any. Could it be your CRP?  Anyway, well done again. It always feels good when there are no major " findings" at a doctor's visit!! And they never take into account, or even seem aware, how nervous a patient is before the appointment.   Take Care,  J

thanks J, i dont know what the reading is either, but i am sure someone will, and i do feel better.Regards Mags

Margaret, remember they are only guidelines to tell the medics there is something going on.   They can go up and down with other things, ie a cold, virus etc.  How you feel is what matters most.  And then with Sarah Mackie at Chapel Allerton you have a top flight expert in PMR & GCA.

Hi Lodger yes the doctor did mentioned that did i have a cold at the time, and i remember i had the usual sore througt that i get from time to time so maybe that could be it.

I dont know i will see when i go tho Chapel Allerton but i willlet you know. Cheers Mags

Well that really was a good experience with dr.  Regards Pat
