Medical results

[Lindsey]

A couple of months ago I went to the doctor for some medical testing. He likes to keep an eye on my kidney function due to some problems I had in my teens. I still need to see the kidney specialist every two years. The last time I saw him, my kidney function had improved by 200%.
This time, my doctor made me keep a food diary for 4 days, and bring in the vitamins I'm taking. We discussed my exercise and diet. He thinks I need to exercise more. He said I should be doing at least an hour of exercise 6 days a week, to the point of being out of breath. I know I'm out of shape even though I am not even close to overweight, but 6 days a week is a bit of a stretch for me!
He showed me the results of my blood and urine tests. I can't remember what it was that was an abnormal level in my kidneys before.... anyways whatever it was, the normal level is anything up to 300. When I was having kidney problems, the level my kidneys were tested at was 1400! WAY over normal! Now, I am down to 31!!!!! So that was great news!
My vitamin B12 is a bit too low so he wants me to start taking vitamin B on top of my multivitamin. I guess that's easy enough to do. It's easier than changing my diet at least.
Back in January I had some breakthrough bleeding which really scared me. I talked to him about it at my last appointment but he told me to just wait and see if it happens again. Well, it did! Just a few days before my appointment lol. He is not a fan of birth control pills, but told me I need to make my own decisions so he did write me a prescription for Ortho Tricyclen (I am now on Ortho Tricyclen- Lo). I was never regular before I started bc so I like how much easier it makes my life. Anyways, I am also excited to switch because the higher dose of hormones is supposed to be great for clearing up acne. I am embarassed to be almost 25 and still getting moderate acne all the time. Hopefully it clears up a bit with the new pills!
