Ok, so as it turns out I'm not dying. I mean I am dying (1 minute at a time, we all are), but I should live a long healthy life.

The results came back in about 3 weeks ago. I had "an usually high white blood cell count". As you know white blood cells fight bacteria, and infection. If you have too many, they tend to treat your own body as an infection, and the white blood cells sort of attack your body.

While on the phone with my DR., she said she wanted to rule out "Auto Immune Defiency", "Cancer", the list went on.

She mentioned a very simple test that I could do at home, I call it the "am I lactose intolerant" test. Basically keep yourself off dairy for about a week, then go and have the biggest milkshake you can. If you get sick, you win.

I waited for a week, and (not being able to find a big milkshake) we went to McDonalds. I had a hot fudge sunday. I've never been more sick. So I assumed I was lactose intolerant.

Today I found out that I'm not dying of cancer, which I thought I was, and that I don't have Auto Immune Defiency. But that I'm "mildly lactose". After all my complaining, and whining, I kind of wish it were something more than "you're just mildly lactose". (Dr.'s drop the "intolerant" part. Hey time is money, and they don't get paid all day to say long words like intolerant).

I was hoping for a little more than just that. Bad heartburn, indigestion, anything else would have been fine, "mildly lactose" What a pussy, I am.

So basically, I can have certain types of dairy, like I can have american cheese if it's processsed a certain way, (as in, not velvetta), but creme sauce in Italian foods makes me a bit ill. I'll have to figure that out on my own through my own, "which cheese makes my ass throw up" test.

In short, I'm not dying.
I AM STILL BP-4-LIFE!!!
