Back for the results of the blood tests and guess what? I'm perfectly healthy. Yep, except for the chronic pain/numbness/tingling in my hands and wrists and the way my feet have swollen over the past couple of weeks. Uh huh. Not anaemic, liver and kidneys working fine, thyroid in excellent condition.

Anyway, after dropping a few unsubtle hints about my weight I got given a course of anti-inflammatories and a referral to the oedema clinic, just in case. I asked what that involved and got a shifty and evasive 'just some tests' so I expect it's not pleasant. I'm sure my weight doesn't help, but I can't see why it would affect anything quite so suddenly...

But still, I guess it was bound to catch up with me in the end, considering I've lived a relatively sedentary life (at least for the last 15 years) and had an unseemly love of ice cream for a while now without ever troubling a set of scales. In fact, I had to actually go out and buy some. Yes, I am officially on a diet (other than the seafood diet!) for the first time in my life. *sighs* I have to say, though, I fully intend this to be the last time I mention that fact here, because you really don't want to hear me whining about salad, do you? ;)
