So today i bit the bullet and went for a Hemocode test well that was an event in itself ! I guess i have thick blood as i got every finger pricked two or three times and could only produce a morsel of blood. It just kept stopping. I am so desperate to find out what is causing my stomach upsets headaches and bloatedness. I am still waiting to see a GI specialist and a dietician but it seems to be taking forever.
So the Hemocode tests you for 250 items to see if you react to any of them i hope and pray it is a solution to how i'm feeling so i can get feeling well again.
Some days i feel so tired after eating i just can't be bothered doing anything but i try and force myself to do at least some art journalling. I find this so therapeutic and satisfying.
I am in the midsts of life book Book of days with Effy Wild and 21 secrets so i have plenty to do. I love my lifebook and i love BOD with Effy the facebook groups are so friendly and inspiring. Learning tons. Here or a couple more of my BOD pages.
Love your pages Michelle! Hope they find out what's causing you to feel so poorly!
ReplyDeleteYour pages are so pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a hemocode test, but now that you mention it and I googled it to see what it is, I think it sounds like something I may ask my doctor about. If I could get part of my allergy testing done as a blood test instead of a prick-you-with-allergens test, I'd be soooo happy!
It took forever to find that I had tiny gall stones like grains of sand. They did not show up on Xrays in the old days. I lost so much weight that my family thought I had cancer. Medicine has progressed a lot since those days, but I understand how you feel. It is good that you have your art journals to keep you focused.
