Down and out
We went out with friends yesterday evening. There had been an unexpected death of a close family member of one of us, and I had my issues - so it was all about sharing the love and concentrating on good things in life.
In the night I woke up again with the severe stomach pain. I'm feeling a bit edgy so I decided to go to the doctor in the morning, at least then I wouldn't have to wonder about it. The doctor was absolutely lovely, and he said that it was probably a combination of something I ate and stress... Would seem to make sense. I felt a bit silly afterwards - I never thought I'd be one of those people who would go and waste a doctor's time with minor little things like stomach aches only to be told that it was because I was worrying too much. I think he kind of sensed that so he suggested that considering my family history if I wanted to get tested for celiac disease I could get the blood test done. I took him up on that offer and will probably go and get it done tomorrow, when I can take Dragon with me as blood tests tend to make me pass out.

I think it's good you're taking the test. If nothing else, it will give you peace of mind, and that's never a waste of time.
