I know. I won't take this as true medical advice. Just general conversation on the topic. The message was 225 was dangerously high. Their tone was complete panic. I really felt that if I went in they would lecture me to go on a medication. I realize that not doing anything was a serve reaction. But sometimes, I really think they suck at people relations and listening. I did not get my C-reactive protein checked. Didn't even know that was something to ask for. And I didn't know about CoQ10. Like I said - I have annual to schedule. And now, I have questions. I just don't like walking into a doctor's office when they have one solution.

With a different doctor, I told her I think that I have asthma. She said - no, it's anxiety. We went back and forth. She said - fine, I'm going to give you the test for asthma just to prove you don't have it.... Test said that I did. I went on an inhaler for 3 years. I hated it. I became addicted to the inhaler. Without it - things got worse. I didn't intentionally find yoga - but yoga helped me with the asthma. I haven't had an attack and haven't used an inhaler in 3 years.

I'm not an easy patient. Mostly - I think they don't listen. That's my biggest compliant. It takes a lot to navigate the system.
