Interesting topic from Stratis

So I was on my favorite blog and Stratis, the writer, wrote a blog entry regarding AIDS. I must say that I understand what he goes through waiting for the results of his tests. I don't "do it" often or with a wide array of guys... when it happens, it tends to be with some "regulars" and we're always safe. I never had a reason to test myself, thankfully, but since I recently became a diabetic, my doctor is always performing multiple blood tests on me. My endocrinologist, the diabetes specialist, always checks my blood for diabetic-related issues, but my regular family doctor checks for all other problems.

I went this past Saturday to my regular doctor because of an ear ache. It turned out it was an ear infection and I got my antibiotics, but at the same time, he withdrew blood from me to send in for testing. I have been awaiting the test results all week and they finally called tonight. I missed the call, so I will have to wait until I get into work tomorrow to call them back.

I have a follow-up with my regular doctor again on Saturday, so I'm crossing my fingers that nothing more has happened. My parents combined have: high blood pressure, chloestrol problems, thyroid problems, diabetes, and the list goes on. I have been a bit fatigued recently, mainly because of the lack of sleep (notice it's like 1:00AM as I write this) ... but my mom told me to ask the doctor about my thyroids. I really don't want to because, god forbid, that I do have a thyroid problem, that means more pills to be popping and to add that to my regular twice-daily shot and 2 different diabetic pills... ughhh!!

Imagine, I'm only 22 and already on so many things!! I shouldn't complain though... I heard that the middle Jonas brother has Type 1 diabetes, which is worse, but he's not being held back... so why should I?

Eh... anyway... If you're having sex, safe or not, go get tested. It's ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry! If you're currently living through it, may God bless you everyday! I respect you so much for living your life to the fullest!
