I'm also trying to figure out how to communicate with my doctor a health issue I've been having lately. Without sounding like a crazy person... So when I go for a while without eating at work my vision gets kinda white... I've watched my calories which are at an adequate level and I'm out leaving too large a gaps between eating. So I'm not really sure what's going on. I looked it up on Google and I'm not sure if it's perhaps a blood pressure issue? I have had some issues lately with blood pressure especially with my new medications and my mom said that she has had issues previously with medications and her blood pressure bottoming out particularly unexpectedly. But I don't want to seem like one of those people that just look up random symptoms on Google nor do I want to bother him as he's a very busy person. So I'm trying to find a way to communicate the issue without being bothersome but it's becoming more pronounced particularly since they started me on the second immune suppressant. 

I've also found the new medicine leaves me someone disinterested in food which is a new issue. 🤷 It's not that it's affecting my hunger so much is I'm just not interested in any particular food. Which makes it a lot harder to pick a food to eat if that makes any sense nothing seems interesting or attractive to eat and all seems, bleh. 

Leah, it is his job to help you with your help. Don’t worry about being a bother. Also, my doctor had me get the quardio machine last year when i had high blood pressure. You can use it with your smart phone and will give you an instant blood pressure reading whenever you take it that you can download to your doctor so you can see if there is a correlation with your vision issues. Wouldn’t mind having your non interest in food i must say😬. Call you doctor, call your doctor and in case i was vague——call your doctor🥰
