Current Events > Just got some blood taken for blood tests *poop warning*

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm pretty freaked out by needles, I was wincing the whole time lol

Last weekend, I drank so much my hands got pins and needles in them. I remember being awake at 5 in the morning, and my hands were still buzzing. That was a big shock to the system by itself, but the next day I shat blood. And like I've shat blood a couple of times for various reasons - mostly because the poop was too big and ripped my butthole - but this was like blood actually travelling through my colon and getting pooped out, staining the water instead of any blood getting on the poop.

This has happened before, and I decided to roll the dice on it, but shitting blood like that as well as getting pins and needles for hours in my hands - that's a sign. So I went in for an appointment yesterday, and I got some blood tests done today.

Chances are, I'm either pre-diabetic or I have alcoholic neuropathy. I did chug a small bottle of Kahlua the night I got the pins and needles, lending credence to the idea that I've eaten my last donut, but losing feeling in your limbs while you're drinking might also be a sign of alcoholic neuropathy. And there was a point this year where I was drinking 3-4 nights a week, mostly to the point of blacking out. So I also might have hit my body's hard limit for drinking.

I also got checked for STDs, since it's been a few years since I've done that last. I'm also kinda sorta in love? So I hope that goes somewhere, and I want to have a clean bill of health in case everything goes well.

I should have my results by next Thursday.

Nurses always tell me that I'm a "hard stick" and that my veins "roll". Often times when I have to get blood drawn, it takes them 2 or more times to get it right.

You know you can lose diabetes, right?

Good luck, mate. You seem like a stand up guy, so Ill be keeping fingers and toes crossed.

How is your diet? Or how has your diet been recently? Are you eating wholesome foods, full meals, greens, maybe some veggies, fruits, fish, etc?

I thought the flu shot I just got was worse but these people are called vampires for good reason. Btw only my red blood cells were a little big because I drank beer.

Yeah, my friend kept shitting blood thanks to internal hemorrhoids. They used little elastic bands to cut off circulation, and then they dropped off and he pooped them out.

Thanks, I appreciate it. The worst part is that I had just cut down on my drinking to begin with. The Kahlua was just a party trick, I had a ten pack of low carb cider to drink afterwards. After my hands started buzzing I couldn't drink anything else.

I did have premixed bourbons before that, so that's even more sugar to consider.

It's been poor for most of my life, but I'm trying to slim down and eat a more balanced diet.

It didn't stop me from fasting on water and almonds for the last two days - I was gonna get food with a friend of mine who moved back home recently, and shit kept happening and the time kept getting pushed back. We finally got kebabs yesterday evening, so I'm eating like usual again haha

Drinking in excess obviously isn't good, particularly on a regular basis. And I'm saying this as someone who probably drinks more than I should. Clearly I'm not a doctor, so don't take what I'm about to say as any professional or knowledgeable advice:

Alcohol depletes your body of nutrients and water. Adding sugary alcoholic drinks I think would only make it worse. High sugar intake along with high nutrient and water depletion. Maybe try to find drinks that don't contain crazy stuff in them? Just stick with beer or wine or a similar alternative?

I also think you should have more than just almonds and water. That doesn't seem like a high calorie intake, and humans certainly require hundreds of calories (and into the low thousands sometimes). I don't know the specific types of foods you've been eating or whether or not they were typical fast food or frozen, but it's definitely crucial in my opinion to eat greens. Have a salad once a week. Get fish somewhere once a week. Eat your meet, get an order of green beans with a dish you may order. It's important to diversify. You don't need to go health crazy (maybe I should though and you too??) but I think there's places to start if you aren't already diversifying.
