I have suspected iron deficiency and possibly diabetes.

I've unexplained weight loss, sweating when eating sugar, nausea and tired all the time.

I'm booked in for a blood test and I'm so scared. I didn't used to be scared but I have very weak lines on my arms so it's really difficult for them to collect any blood and sometimes takes several goes with my arm looking like I've been attacked!

I absolutely hate the sensation of the needle going into th vein. It's disgusting and so gruesome.

I'm really really scared.

I know it's pathetic but I really don't think I can go.

aibu?

Well done! Star

Well done you. Fantastic. Worth taking her name in case you ever need more tests? You could ask for that same person!
Hope the tests give you the answers you need. Hopefully reassurance and a quick fix!! Flowers

Well done!

Thanks everyone.

I know they're testing for diabetes and thyroid problems. Anyone know what else they could be testing? They didn't say.

Great stuff, OP.

You want sympathy after what you admitted to on the council house thread?

Put your big girl pants on and go. Don't be such a bloody baby. I know children who are more grown up than this.

Notevilstepmother · 17/07/2017 17:27

Well done.

WinterRose92 · 17/07/2017 17:37

Well done! And breathe! X
