I should have been a doctor

First thing this morning, I called to find out my blood work results. Platelet count is normal and I'm not anemic! That's good news.
Took Peyton to see GI specialist this morning. Her inflammation count was higher than the last one. What does that mean? I don't know! She doesn't exhibit any of the normal signs such as losing weight, blood in stool, irritability. Dr said he doesn't want to treat the lab, he wants to treat the patient; they're not matching up. He sent me home with a hemmacult so he can test for blood in her stool. He said the only way for him to know how inflamed she is is to do a flex scope, which means she has to be put under. NO! NOT AN OPTION! So, we will continue with my diet, see if there is blood in her stool & go from there. It's interesting that I've cut more out of my diet, yet her numbers have gone up :/
I went to the dr to see what is up with my toes. The toenails on my left foot are all white and my right big toe hurts and is discolored. Also, that toenail is not growing. The PA says, "I don't know what that is. Let me do some research and get back to you." Really? I just paid   $30 for you to tell me that? I should have been a doctor! I know how to research-google!!   So, they decided to take blood and see if its a deficiency from my diet. They don't think it's a fungus because normally fungus' don't hurt. We shall see! (My weight is 119, lost 3 pounds in 6 weeks.)

*update: low on potassium. Still have no idea what's wrong with my toe. My SUPER GENIUS dad told me to out Vaseline in my left foot because they looked dry and brittle & sure enough, they book better!
