It sucks to be fat and lazy.
Heard from the doctor. He doesn't want to put me on meds; he wants me to exercise and lose weight first. Hooray. =| I'm considering getting a second opinion. I've gained 5-10 pounds since the last time I was at the doctor. My BP was 117/72 then. I can't imagine ten pounds raising it that much. I actually commented to the girl the last time I was there that I wouldn't worry about being fat until it affects my BP....maybe I shot myself in the foot by saying that.
I did do more research on Cushings. I have almost every symptom except the "buffalo hump". I do have a hump, but it's not fatty, it's bony. My vertebra prominens sticks out there; it's really noticeable. Probably more so since I got a nautical star tattooed over it. Anyway, it was scary reading the symptoms but I feel like such a dweeb going to the doctor all the time and saying, "Hey, I think I have this; test me for it," and then being wrong.
Hey, don't feel foolish for going to the doctor for any concerns you may have. That is what they arethere for, and god knows they charge enough.
