i have been away for awhile. Generally I have done well with a few episodes of HA.

On Thu I had routine blood tests done. I had CBC's done every three months due to medication I am on. That doesn't bother me, but I do have mild anxiety for a week or 2 after. But since I am followed ps regular I know changes are prob unlikely.

This time my doc added 2 tests, just for monitoring and to have base numbers. One was my inflammation markers. Not surprising since I have crohns. The other was creatinine egfr. I didn't even notice I would be having this until I left for the test.

I had the test done thu am but have been nervous about this egfr ever since. I am a runner, and run three to four times a week. I ran a very fast run on Wednesday and am worried it will effect the results. I am scared about getting called in to redo.

Every time the phone rings I jump. I keep researching the type of test I had. I am anxious and keep thinking about it.

My last full checkup was 18 months ago. All was good, incl kidneys.
