I'm falling apart

Today I had a physical with my primary care doctor. I don't normally go for routine physical exams, however, it is a requirement in order to attend nursing school this fall. My doctor and I didn't have much to talk about considering I'm a healthy person for the most part, but I did fill him in on my upcoming appointment with the specialist in Boston. I explained to him what has been going on for the past three years and he asked me if my OB had sent me for blood work to check my hormone levels. Of course he never did that. Why would he send me for blood work when he's done nothing but blow me off for the last three years?? So my doc gave me the order to have some blood work done to check my LH, FSH, and Prolactin levels.
After my physical, the next stop was to the eye doctor since my last visit there was about eight years ago. I picked the worst day to go there. It was their first day of going live with the EMR (electronic medical records). No one had a clue what they were doing. My husband and I were there for over two hours only to find out that I have an astigmatism in my right eye. So I'm guessing that is why I see big white spots when reading my textbooks and why I am constantly getting headaches. I always thought that it was stress related. Ever since I started going back to school, I have started falling apart!
