Going to the Doctors

Two doctor appointments this week.  Dermatology for followup of a pigmented facial lesion with gradual advancement.  I assume they will want to do a cancer screening as well, since technically for billing purposes I classify as a new patient due to the interval since last visit.  Forms filled out in advance.

Primary visit more problematic.  I really don't feel my best.  Withdrawing SSRI has made my mind more alive.  Joints hurt, BP higher, some lab concerns, Some decision branch points.  A few can be punted to the scheduled cardiology visit after a quick patch.  Or maybe the joints need to go to ortho.  I don't really want a knee arthroscopy if topical, or even systemic SSRI's will do the job.  May need some GI studies but very unhappy about what transpired with this last year.  May ask for referral to a different practitioner and GI group, if only to get a different prospective on safety of colonoscopy preparations.  Never had Covid, so not really Long Covid.  Some minor urologic symptoms.  While luxury Executive Evaluations at Mayo or Greenbrier claim expertise, their value is more to the companies that are highly invested in the highly paid people that get examined.  It's probably not good medical care for anyone. 

My medical care has been good, though with a few tweaks that may add benefit.  Best to just let it. proceed.
