Well, I'm glad to hear a little bit of good news
I did all those tests this past summer My one tip for the stress test, get to your target heart rate as soon as possible cus then you only need to keep going for about a minute after that It takes more out of you but then you can get off much earlier! I did the whole test (minus all the damn imaging) in under 6 minutes! The poor guy next to me was suffering through at 21 minutes because he couldn't get to his THR He was super grumpy and was yelling "That's enough!! I'm getting off this stupid machine!"
I am probably more stubborn than Nate and I would totally go too, no matter what that doc said
Good for you telling your doc no meds! People need to stand up for themselves and not rely on everything a doctor says! You know your body best!
When I told my rheumy back in 2010 that I wasn't going back on my Lupus meds, he was SHOCKED He couldn't possible fathom why I didn't want to take them. I just knew my body was okay and was going to recover on it's own. Of course, I felt differently this summer cus my body just wasn't rebounding but I knew it and took the meds
Crossing fingers, toes and everything else that everyone is healthy and that you all have a FANTASTIC cruise
Thanks for the tips Cass! I could totally see myself as that guy next to you
Well heres to not listening to the docs and hoping for the best
