that my distended abdomen is because of central viscal obesity. I am feeling a little rattled that I warrented an obese classification when I can still squeeze into a size 10. Basically the fat around my middle is placing strain on my internal organs. He said the weight gain is not *really* because of AD but probably more because of *Sabrina*.
What should I have expected? Understanding? I mentioned to a friend that I felt scared the doctor would find nothing wrong and that it would seem I was making it up. Seems I wasn't far wrong.
He has referred me to a dietician. Annoying to me since I eat properly but continue to get bigger.
My blood pressure is high and I am fatigued. Didn't have to pay him to know that.
I had blood tests for Lupus Disease (possible inherited), Liver enzymes and some other stuff.
He prescribed a diuretic for water retention. Since taking it, I go to the loo LESS than before.
I feel unwell, I feel old. My stomach still swells if I look at a lettuce leaf.
And all that's wrong with me is "Sabrina".
