Um, yeah... I'm seventeen years old. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow, because I haven't been there in about a year. :\ I kept asking mom to take me, but she's just never made the appointment until now. *sighs* Better late than never, I guess?
By the way, I have anemia, but I haven't had a real period in over a year. (I know, that's horrible, and I should have went to the doctor sooner...) I have also been losing weight for no apparent reason for a looong time now, but in December that seemed to reverse. Now I'm gaining some weight, which puzzles me, because I'm doing nothing differently.
Well, here are things that I strongly think I have:
1. Hyperthyroidism
2. Graves disease
3. Ovarian cancer
How do I go about asking about all three of those in one session? Could I just take a blood test, and would they tell me if I had any of those? Or, would I have to tell them ahead of time, so they know what they're looking for? This is giving me such a head ache. In addition, the idea that I could have any one of those scares the hell out of me, but I'd rather face the problem then ignore it and die. I've been telling mom about my worries for so long, but she usually brushes them off, thinking that I'm coming to conclusions about nothing. :\
If I happen to not have any of those, I will do a happy dance. That's all I can say... Hopefully, if I do have something, it's easily treatable.
Advice???
