take better care of myself

Not doing this one either!

I assumed my crappy general health has been due to living at home after college. That surely is playing a part, but is that the end of it? After noticing a few subtle changes in my body recently, I decided to do some investigating.

Without seeming too paranoid, it seems possible that hemochromatosis might run in my family. The “Celtic Curse” could be in my genes, and looking at bloodwork results seems to at least suggest it.

On top of that, I am just wiped out after meals. After a sandwich at 10AM today and my mind turned to mush and it took quite an effort to stay awake until about 3PM.

So, today was the beginning of my efforts to put together a family tree with included medical history records. I made a Dr. appointment for tomorrow, but due to my current crappy insurance changing and the fact that it is changing at the end of theis month, I will have to reschedule. Hopefully a MD will have some insights.

I am going to have my eyes examined in a few weeks, and I started bringing healthy things in to work to eat instead of eating less healthy things from restaurants.

I take pretty good care of my body. I need to be sure to step back from time to time and make sure that I have thought things through. Is my workout both goal oriented and fun? Is it too much? I have been avoiding an eye exam though it is desperately needed.
