I really do seem to be getting quite creative with these blog post titles as of late. I don't know why but let's press on.
This week, kind of as the title suggests I have discovered something else about myself that I did not know about which has popped out of nowhere, following a few other things that I also discovered in recent years. That may all sound very vague but I'll explain more now.
Throughout my life, I have thankfully been a pretty healthy person. I have never broken any bones, I have only once had to go to A&E and that was only for something minor, the only noteworthy issue was some asthma. Apart from that though, nothing else, no illnesses, allergies, or other problems.
Within the last few years however that seems to have changed quite a bit. I discovered that I had a somewhat of a lazy eye and should have been wearing glasses, my asthma has somewhat resurfaced, there is one or two other things that I'm still not 100% sure about and then this week something else to add to the list.
For a while now I have been feeling quite dodgy in the morning and by that I mean my stomach has felt quite weird. Once I was up and busy though it seemed to go away though. Recently this feeling has been getting worse though and more prolonged, and so after however long its been, I finally decided to go to the doctors.
I went along to the doctors, passed along all of my very vague symptoms and descriptions about how I've been feeling, and was told that I could potentially be a coeliac, as my sister also has the same condition. I was also told to come back the following day for blood tests, to help try and confirm this diagnosis.
Since then however I have done some experimenting on myself and now feel that i am probably not a coeliac or gluten intolerant, but instead lactose intolerant. I'm probably about 95% sure about this, even though I have yet to have any official tests or diagnosis, but it seems to fit and it makes sense.
Whichever I am though, I thought it was still pretty strange how the phrase, "I waited forever and then two buses came along at once" strangely fit not only with regards to my health but with quite a few other things I've experienced lately.
Maybe its just a case of, if you're thinking about it you're likely to notice other similar things happening.
Hopefully once the blood test results come back this week, I'll have a clearer picture of what it actually is that's causing me problems.
