Im feeling tested!

Add caption
Just over a week ago I had 7 vials of blood taken to try and determine why Im feeling so crappy. Today I got the results and I was a little shocked.

Seems all of me is out of whack and my body isnt happy. I was, however, very pleased to find out that I dont have Hashimoto's Thyroid disease although I have all the symptoms.

My liver, kidney, vitamin D results came back flagged and I have anaemia. Im not happy. Im also having trouble breaking down protein in my foods. Im starting a weird supplement regime where I create a special kind of stomach acide 15 minutes before I eat, its really unpleasant and I have to do it twice a day. Gross. I am still waiting for my food intolerance test results and I am fascinated to hear what they are :)

On the plus side, Ive seen significant improvement in my surgery foot. Although not back to full function and strength I do now how normal plantarflexion so I can stand and point my toes to the floor like a ballerina. Yay. I have progressed onto the calf stretcher. Im pleased. I was recently told I need 25% dorsiflex to be able to run but Im only at 10% so its gonna be a while. :(
