not been feeling too good

This blood problem I have has been getting me down. It's making my joints ache like mad and today they have been aching so much I have spent the bulk of the day in bed. I hate how I am feeling right now, physically. It's no fun when climbing stair or just walking makes you ache like mad. I'm back at the doctor's on Tuesday, so I'll ask if there is anything that can be done. Ihad a blood test on Wednesday so I'll get the results on Tuesday.

results from blood tests

Last Tuesday morning I had a blood test. They were after something specific, and because of this couldn't use a tourniquet to help get the blood out. It took the phlebotomist, three goes before she could get any blood.
This afternoon I went to see the doctor about the results. I have something wrong with my parathyroid gland, and I do not have enough calcium in my blood. I have been given bumph to read, and some great big "donkey pills" to take...luckily they are suck or chew, and not too revolting. I have to return for another blood test in 6 weeks, and then return to see doctor, to see where we go from there. The chest pain problem has been put on a back burner until this is sorted out.
