Waiting Period; Day 33

Good afternoon everyone :-) Nothing really to report. I dont recall any tingling today or yesterday besides what I had posted about. No other symptoms going on at this time.

The weather is better here today, which always makes me happy!!! I did another "Super Woman" work out today and I am just beat! Even though I'm tired, it feels good to exercise that hard when all is said and done...The only bad thing about today is that I have to go another job this evening, but it will be over quickly. I'm looking forward to tomorrow being friday :-) It will be one long ass day, but when it's over I can do whatever I please because I get to sleep in on saturday!!! I hope everyone is well. Stay optomistic :-)

Waiting Period; Day 32

Good morning all!!! Nothing major going on, just some minor tingling early this morning. My skin is pretty clear at the moment.

I had a pretty wild day yesterday...wild in a good way, but I'm exhausted today and it's one of my long days :( Yesterday, I worked out super hard!!! I ran for an hour, did abs, and swam...I felt like super woman...lol!!! Then when I got out the gym, I had a message from my afternoon client saying I didnt have to come in so I got to spend the afternoon and evening with some of my best friends I havent hung out with in a minute. I had several drinks... I probably consumed as many calories last night as I burned in my workout...lol!!! Oh well, I'm still sexy :-) I'm hoping that by the time I get off tonight, I'll be able to do another work out like yesterday, but it's not likely...I'm definetly feeling the "burn" today so I may have to chill out until tomorrow. The weather here is pretty crappy right now...hopefully it will get better soon...it's summer!!! I want heat and sun, not clouds and sprinkles!!! Well, I hope everyone is well. Until next time :-)

Waiting Period; Day 30

Good evening all!!! That severe tingling I had the last couple days seems to have disappeared because I dont believe I felt any today...strange huh? Hey, I just noticed while looking at the title of my post that I am 1/3rd of the way done with waiting to test...whoooo hooooo :-) I dont really notice any other symptoms...my skin is pretty normal (not totally clear, but not hella pimply either). If anything changes, you all will be the first to know :-)

"Wkd":
It makes my day when you leave me your sweet and funny comments!!! You literally make me laugh outloud :-) Thanks for being such a great support and friend to me. As excited as I get when I see you've posted, I must be human because a machine couldn't get that happy!!!

"Faithful" :
I'm sorry for your recent diagnosis of HSV2, but just know it's not the end of the world, and you are not alone!!!
I dont have time to re-cap all the symptoms I've felt on the detox tonight, but I can give you a brief summary. I didnt start blogging until day 33 of step 1, but on step 1, I experienced some sleeplessness, LOTS of acne (that was the most severe symptom for me), some wierd bowel movements and gas(...lol...I hope it's not TMI, but it's the truth), upset stomach and vomitting (if I didnt eat enough before a dose), and sensative gums. In step 2, my skin cleared up completely around 1/2 way through but I was often HELLA tired no matter how much rest I got and I got really sick and threw up one of my morning doses on one of my last days. I believe I didnt eat enough before taking it, but I didnt just get nauseated, throw up, and then the feeling went away like when I got sick on step 1, it was really bad. Even after I projectily threw up all the contents of my stomach (including bile), I was still shaky and sick. I had to leave work, go home, and sleep for a few hours before I felt even close to normal again. Until I was able to fall asleep and sleep it off, I had some severe stomach cramping and funky bowel movements. I'm not telling you this to scare you from taking it, because if you can afford it, I say "what the hell", it's worth a shot. Lots of other people took this product and didnt get sick like I did, I just call myself trying to watch what I eat and lose weight so if you do do the detox, eat more than an apple or a yogurt before taking the doses. If you would like more more details on symptoms, you can go back to my past posts. Sorry if I forgot anything in this small recap :-(
If you click on my profile, you can see the other blogs I follow. There are 2 there that have tested negative so far; however, 1 tested positive again after claiming there was no way they could have been re-infected (Love) and the other recently tested negative and should get tested again in a few months just to see if her status is the same (Fighter). The rest of the blogs I follow are of people who have either tested positive, are still on the detox, waiting to test like myself, or just dont blog anymore. There was also a lady on the hub ("Cali") who had tested negative at one point but then had an OB like 7 months later. It's up to you to decide if it is worth it to you or not to try the detox. Personally, I ordered the detox based off of "Love's" blog but now she has positive results. So you could wait to see what happens with her after the booster or me and a few other bloggers when we test in the next couple months. I believe there are 2 other people besides myself who will be testing in September and October. Good luck with whatever you decide to do and remember you can feel free to leave me a comment/ email anytime if you have a question or just need to talk. Have a great night :-)

Waiting Period; Day 29

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I took it pretty easy. I think my new longer work hours finally caught up to me this week...lol!!! I had to pump my breaks and stay in for a couple nights to catch up on rest but it's back to the salt mines early tomorrow in the a.m.

I had some pretty severe tingling yesterday and today. I'm sure I've had worse but not that I can remember since I was still doing step 2. It was so intense at one point yesterday, I was sure I was gonna wake up with an OB today but so far nothing has surfaced. I dont know weather to be discouraged by this or to classify it as a clearing symptom. Oh well, there is no reason for me to dwell on it. Like I said before, there is nothing I can do about any of this now but wait and test in September.

Still a little down, same as the other day. It's not necessarily Resolve related but life in general. I'm sure I'll snap out of it soon. Staying in for a few days and not having much to do was nice, but I'm so used to being busy, I think I got cabin fever just in this short amount of time...lol!!! That will be over soon enough, tomorrow is back to the 13 hr work days. At least that's only 3 days out of the work week, but I still have part time work the other 2 days and it's hard to catch up on rest during the week when my hours are like this. I'm sure my body and mind will get used to it after another week or two, but by then school will start back and that will be one more thing for me to adjust too. Ah life....it never gives us a break or makes anything easy on us huh? Well hang in there everyone. HAPPY SUNDAY :-)

Waiting Period Day 26

I got one of those fluid-filled Resolve pimples on the side of my face close to my ear. Tingling is still popping up here and there, but it's still pretty minor. Other than that, nothing really going on as far as symptoms. My face isnt breaking out besides that funky step 1 type pimple I just mentioned.

My afternoon client canceled, so I was done with work by the late morning. I planned on going home and doing some house work, then taking a nap and getting up to work out for a few hours in the late afternoon. Well, I made it as far as some of the house work, but once I hit the pillow for the nap, I was out for the count!!! I've been sleeping all day and to tell you the truth, I feel like I could go back to sleep for the night. I'm surprised I slept this much and still feel like sleeping but I think it's a combination of beeing physically and emotionally drained!!! I gotta be up for another long day tomorrow so I think I'm going to take some tylenol PM and pass back out. If I end up waking up before I actually have to be up for work and cant go back to sleep, I'll just hit the gym since I dint make it there today.

Been feeling a little down the last couple days, not necessarily Resolve related, hope everyone out there is in a better mood than me. I'm sure I'll bounce back soon, I just have a lot on my mind these days. Have a great evening all!!!

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

Waiting Period; Day 25

Good morning everyone. Nothing has changed, I'm feeling the same symptoms as yesterday. Still waiting on the booster..seems like it's taking forever :-(

I have another one of those super long days today so wish me luck getting through it. Have a great day all :-)

Tuesday, July 21, 2009

Waiting Period; Day 24

Good evening all!!! Nothing new to report, I feel like I have been repeating myself with that line since I finished step 2...lol!!! Symptoms are the same, minor tingling here and there and I have that painful pimple near my hairline on my scalp.

Today was my first day back on the elyptical at the gym since my back got hurt. I'm supposed to be off running and lifting (people and weights) for another 2 weeks, but my back has been feeling okay and swimming has been getting boring by itself. I havent gone back to lifting any weights or doing any crunches/ sit ups but I did 30 min of cardio on the elyptical and 30 min of swimming then the steam room for ten minutes. It was quite nice. After the gym, I went and got a pedicure with the works; the whole bubble water for your feet in the massage chair and leg massages....aaaahhhhhhhh, I felt like a princess for that 45 minutes :-)

Well, I hope everyone has a great night :-)

Monday, July 20, 2009

Waiting Period; Day 23

I got a wierd pimple on my scalp close to my hairline. It seems pretty big to have just popped up today, but I just noticed it when I went to put my hair up. Still some minor tingling going on down there but my skin seems to be clear of any new pimples for now.

I'm still waiting on the booster. I checked the tracking today and it looks like it should be here soon.

Sunday, July 19, 2009

Waiting Period; Day 22

Good morning everyone!!! Besides the tingling, there is not much else going on as far as symptoms go. My skin isnt breaking out in huge pimples, but it still has a few blemishes scattered around.

Nothing came from the Post Office for the booster yesterday so I'm hoping it will be here sometime soon next week. Hearing how disgusting the booster is from other people's blogs and the hub makes me not look forward to it, but I should be able to handle it.

I didnt get as much rest as I would have liked to this weekend but hopefully I can go to bed early enough tonight so I wont be exhausted first thing monday morning. Last night was the first night I got to sleep in my own bed since my friend's mom passed away, and let me tell you; THERE IS NOTHING LIKE SLEEPING IN YOUR OWN BED!!! Now that things have settled down a bit at his house, I'll be staying back at my place most of the time.

I've been swimming a lot and I feel great, but the chlorine is kickin my a*%!!! They put sooooo much chlorine in the pool...it kinda reminds me of step 2...lol!!! But seriously, the smell doesnt come all the way off me or my swimsuits after showering and washing, and everything I wear in the pool gets bleached like 3 shades lighter of what it originally was :-( Plus, dont get me started on my hair...it is seriously taking a beating!!! That cant be good, but I'm really beggining to enjoy it.

Friday, July 17, 2009

Waiting Period; Day 20

Hello all!!! No new symptoms to report. Just some tingling still and some pimples on my face. It's not too bad though. Still waiting on the booster though.

I'm sooooo happy it's Friday!!! This week has been soooooo long and draining. I'm looking forward to getting so much sleep this weekend. I went swimming last night with buff dude :-) It was nice. He even mentioned maybe going out to somewhere other than the gym tonight after work, but I.D.K. if I'm in a good mental place right now to do that. I dont wanna get hella attached or anything. I know I'm probably reading too much into it too early, but I cant help but be cautious because of H and the last dude who made me sad :-( We'll see though, maybe I'll decide to go if he really ends up calling me. He's a sweet guy and I enjoy our convo and gym sessions.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Thursday, July 16, 2009

Waiting Period; Day 19

I had some mild tingling this morning but nothing major. The booster should be here any day now and as soon as it comes, I'M ON THAT G THANG...lol!!! I'm so ready for this to be over!

I've had a really long week...work has been hectic and there are soooo many things going on in my personal life. My BFF's mother's service is today so hopefully things will settle down a bit after this. I havent been getting much rest staying at his house so I'm pretty exausted...I cant wait till friday night so I can go to bed knowing I aint gotta wake up for sh*t :-)

I had physical therapy for my back esterday afternoon, and it made it SUPER TENDER!!! She told me not to run or do any major working out for about 2 weeks, but that I could still swim. She also gave me some strengthening exercices to do. Things are going ok with my new friend from the pool :-) We havent made any plans to hang out but he calls me everyday to chat for a bit...thats just my pace right now, I cant get "involved" with anyone at the moment obviously. I've even thought about calling it quits already but my good friend "Hopeful" said there was nothing wrong with having a friend to talk to and hang out with, he really is fun to talk to and he is HELLA fine so this whole thing is a confident booster and he makes me laugh :-)

Have a great day everyone

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

Waiting Period; Day 18

Bleh...I'm kinda hung over today; I over did it last night with my friends :-( The worst part is I work a 17 hour day today!!! Oh well, I'll get through it, I'm a pro...lol!!! I hadnt drank since the 4th, but I've been staying with my friend who's mom passed, and some of our friends came over last night to cheer him up and we ended up staying up late and having a few cocktails. I dont feel sick or anything, I'm just HELLA tired...Hennessey and minimal sleep dont go well together...

As far as symptoms go, things are pretty much the same. The minor tingling here and there and the pimples. I think when I drink, it brings the tingles out more...

"Wkd", nice to hear from you my friend!!! It makes my day to check my blog and see your comments, you have been a great friend and support system to me. You can also email me if you'd like ; itsmyyear2009@gmail.com. I'm excited that you are starting soon and I love your positive energy, it lifts my spirits. The hub has had lots of negativity abou Resolve on it lately but I try not to pay it ny attention because it will just stress me out. About your question on the waiting period after the booster, "Hopeful" and I were just discussing that last night...I know, it's wierd but Resolve's instructions say to wait 4-6 weeks after the booster then test. I'm eager to test ASAP, but I may wait the full 90 days if the waiting period from the booster ends before my 90 days.

Tuesday, July 14, 2009

Waiting Period; Day 17

Hi everyone!!! No new symptoms to report. I havent felt any tingling since yesterday morning as far as I can remember and my patch of pimples seems to be clearing up some.

The weather is good today and for the last two days, I have woke up with high spirits. I had a good day yesterday (busy but good) and I feel like today is gonna be a good one too :-)

I'm still waiting on the booster to arrrive. I'ma crack that bad boy open as soon as I get it...lol!!! I saw on "Love's" blog that the taste is worse than the original detox so I wont be looking forward to that part. In the email Resolve sent me after I ordered the booster, they said I dont have to eat before doses and I can mix it with any type of juice so the booster seems more lenient (sp?) than the original detox. After the booster, I wait 4 or 6 weeks to test so if I'm not mistaken, that may move my testing date up earlier in September...that would be SUPER!!! When I get the booster, I'll calculate it out and post my new test date (if there is one) when I figure it out.

Have a great day everyone :-)

Monday, July 13, 2009

Waiting Period : Day 16

Hey guys, so I ordered the booster. I told resolve I had an OB (which is a lie) and they sent me the link to pay the shipping so they could send it out. I cant wait!!! I'm not looking forward to any funly taste there may be, I'm glad I'll be doing the booster. I feel like it will give me a better chance of testing negative for H at the end of all this (if this stuff really works).

I met a SUPER hot guy at the pool yesterday!!! I know as of now I cant persue anything serious but it feels nice to feel wanted by a freakin hot ass guy!!! He was lookin soooooo good yall :-)I did exchange numbers with him so we shall see where this takes me. I definetly have my guard up from the last dude and of course I gotta keep the whole H in the front of my mind, but I'm still interested in "investigating this situation"...lol!!!

I've had some mild tingling this morning, but I'm not too worried about it. othe than that and my pizza face, I havent had any new symptoms. My pimples are actually clearing up and I dont se any new ones sprouting yet. I hope everyone is doing well. I'll holla :-)

Saturday, July 11, 2009

Waiting Period; Day 14

So I am deterimined to get the booster!!! It has been suggested to me to email them back and tell them I am getting an outbreak...though dishonest, I think I just may do it!!! I really want to be as detoxed as possible by the test date. Someone on the hub mentioned that you wait 6 weeks post the booster to test, so if I order it now and get it next week sometime, it shouldnt alter my test date too much, if at all.

As far as symptoms, my face is HELLA breaking out in tiny pimples on the right side of my face :-( I feel like I'm 15 again with all these blemishes. Even though I've had mild acne with pimples here and there since I was a teen, I dont usually get this many!!! They arent big and deep like step 1 pimples, they are small and just as annoying as the big ones. I believe these are the same type of pimples "Hopeful" has been mentioning for the last few weeks. Oh well, thats life on Resolve. As far as the tingling, I really dont recall having any yesterday or today. I say little or mild tingling everyday because I obbsess about feeling something so much that I think my mind actually convinces my body I'm feeling something, but I really dont think there has been any tingling for days.

The weather has been not so great the last couple days here. That usually makes me down. On top of that, my morning client was mentioning how much she wanted to die again yesterday and not long after I left that job for the day, my best friend called me to inform me that he just found his 46 year old mother dead!!! I'm so so sad for him and his sister. I'll be staying with him for the next week or so until he feels he doesnt need someone with him every night, so I will do my best to stop at home to update this. If I miss a day here and there, you all know it's because I couldnt get enough privacy to get online and post.

Well, best of luck to you all and I hope you all have a great weekend. Stay optomistic and dont sweat the small things. Let us all count our blessings and enjoy our lives as much as we can. Tomorrow isnt promised to any of us, and when a true tragedy hits our lives and shakes our world up, only then do we begin to realise how much we let ourselves miss out on because of issues that seemed so IMPORTANT at the time we are dealing with them.

Friday, July 10, 2009

Waiting Period;Day 13

So I emailed Resolve yesterday asking them if they thought I should order the booster just to be safe since I did a lot of drinking on the detox. I told them I wasnt really having symptoms currently besides some minor tingling here and there. They emailed back and said there was no need for me to do it and to just let my body clear out. I was kinda dissapointed because I wanted to do it just to be safe and I wanted to get all the tests done before my 24th birthday in October because my health insurance expires then and if symptoms come up later and I have to do the booster, I dont want my waiting period to extend past my birthday :-(

Nothing really to report symptom wise. I may have had some slight tingling last night, but I'm not sure if I really felt it, or if I'm obbsessing over it so much, my mind had me thinking I thought I felt it... My face is getting pimply again too. Not as bad as step 1, but I'm using my old acne products now, and they still dont seem to be working so I'm thinking that these pimples are probably "clearing symptoms".

I went on the hub yesterday for the first time and there is a lot of negativity on that page. Not saying there isnt a good reason for it, but I'm trying to stay as optomistic and high spirited as possible right now, and let me tell you; that is not a place that will help my state of mind at this point.

I'm a little down today. Trying to stay chipper, but I feel like I may be falling back into a small depression, and I was feeling so good lately :-( Some is my own personal stuff away from Resolve, and the rest is from things that have to do with Resolve and the whole H thing. The weather has been pretty crappy this morning too, that may have something to do with it.

Thursday, July 9, 2009

Waiting Period; Day 12

Hello Everyone!!! Nothing new to report as far as symptoms go. I dont recall feeling any tingling yesterday or so far today either. I'm gonna email resolve after this post and see what they say about me taking the booster. I'm not really feeling any H symptoms but I did do a lot of drinking on the detox so I'd rather be safe than sorry. Plus, my skin was hella clear on step 2 and now I'm starting to get some minor pimples again so I want it for that purpose too :-)

I've been eating pretty healthy still and keeping my alcohol intake to a minimum lately, or at least by my standards...lol!!! Seriously though, I drank on the 4th of July weekend but none since then and none for about a week before that. I'm really trying not too because I feel better when I'm not drinking 3-4 times a week and it makes working out and losing weight easier because I'm not getting the extra calories and I'm not getting hang overs :-) Part of the reason I was drinking so much in the past is because I was depressed about H but since I actually feel like this is working/ will work for me, I have been more up beat and dont feel as much of a need to drink my problems away. I still like to drink socially when I'm out with friends or family but getting away from it for a couple weeks helped me clear my head and realise how much it was actually making things worse when I was self medicating with it. I know alcohol is a depressant, but I dont smoke or do any other type of drugs so when I'm in "THAT MOMENT" my mind set tells me that having a drink is the only way I can deal with anything at the moment. I was still working out when I was drinking frequently, but I think now that I have slowed down on the cocktails, the gym has actually kinda taken the place of the liquor. I feel great when I use exercise as an outlet...it's much healthier and much more effective. Life isnt sucking so much right now at the moment...hopefully it will stay that way :-) I hope you all are doing well. Have a great Thursday.

Wednesday, July 8, 2009

Waiting Period; Day 11

It is such a beautiful morning here in Northern California! I hope the good weather is blessing you all as well...there is something so uplifting about a beautiful summer day! It makes me just wanna quit work, call up loved ones, and have a huge BBQ or something :-)

Nothing new to report here. I dont recall any tingling yesterday and I havent had any so far today. I'm still feeling pretty upbeat in general and optomistic about Resolve working despite the negative buzz I've heard lately. I start school mid August so I'm trying to fit in as much gym workouts and extra work hours as possible before then.

I'm HELLA sore from working out and my new job...some is good soreness and some is bad :-( My cousin's friend has been helping me with my toning workout at the gym and let me tell you, he is no joke...lol!!! He is hella buff and he works out like 3 hours a day so he knows his stuff and he pushes me, but the soreness from that is a good sore, like I'm working muscles I dont normally work. The bad soreness is a strain I feel in my lower back. I do in home care while I'm putting myself through school and my newest client doesnt have a lift and cant help support any of her own weight. There is a technique her long term attendant showed me to get her in and out of bed and what not, but I'm much taller than she is and that technique isnt working for me. Weather it's my height or I'm just not doing it right, I'm either going to have to find a technique that will work for me or I'm gonna have to quit. I'm only 23, and this back has to last me the rest of my existance and this is only my second week at this job.

My good mood and this good weather has me thinking about taking a vacation at some point before school starts back up. Lol...I may just be spontaneous and plan a trip to Australia!!! Chatting with "Wkd" has me wanting to go there!!! I'm thinking about clear lake or something not too far from home but not to close :-) Well I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful humpday as much as I am! Be safe out there and stay optomistic.

Tuesday, July 7, 2009

Waiting Period; Day 10

No new symptoms. Still some minor tingling down below but nothing major. I feel pretty good for the most part. Now that I'm just waiting to test, I'm trying to keep myself as busy as possible to keep my mind off this situation a little during the day. The suspense is killing me!!! I got a long way to go too...lol!!!

Monday, July 6, 2009

Waiting Period; Day 9

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!!! Nothing much to report that's new. I had some very minor tingling over the weekend, but not like it was a a week or two ago. I do have a painful small pimple on the back of my scalp and I am starting to get more pimples than I have had the past few weeks. My face got really clear in step 2, but I have always had some mild acne since high school so I guess things are just going back to normal in my body since I have been off Resolve. Hopefully the H wont go back to normal as well :-( I didnt work out yesterday and I ate HELLA food on saturday and sunday so after work this evening, I hope I have the energy I need to go full on at the gym tonight...wish me luck!!! Have a great day everyone :-)

Friday, July 3, 2009

Waiting Period; Day 6

I'm feeling pretty good this morning :-) Nothing new to report as far as symptoms go. I havent noticed any tingles since tuesday or wednesday. Yesterday was the first day I broke my workout streak this week but I didnt have the time to make it there....I WILL RETURN TODAY THOUGH!!! Lol :-) Since I have been off step 2 and been working out pretty much every day, I feel much happier...I guess realisng those endorphins (sp?) really does help huh? I know working out isn't the only reason I've been feeling better, but it definetly helps!!! I recommend it to everyone.

For "Wkd", I think it's great you ordered Resolve. Even with the negative buzz going on right now, I still feel pretty optomistic about the whole thing. I think it would be great if you kept a blog on your experience!!! Not only would it be great support for the rest of us but I find it to be kind of theraputic for me to keep a blog. Sharing my feelings and experience about H with you guys and seeing that so many others out there can relate is a big help to me. Not only have a gotten great support and advice, but I have made some great friends too :-) Keep me updated on whats going on with you and good luck!!!

Thursday, July 2, 2009

Waiting Period; Day 5

Good evening all!!! Nothing too new to report....I dont recall having any tingling today so hopefully thats a good sign. The outbreak I thought was on it's way never showed up and I dont think it will. I started my period last night and in the past, if I felt an outbreak coming on and my period came around the same time, it usually meant the outbreak was right there too....but not this time!!! Hopefully thats a good sign :-)

I hada pretty good day today; as of right now I feel like things in general are looking up for me so hopefully my good luck and hapiness will continue on through the summer, and Resolve will add to the good news streak by my test date in September.

Well, I am going to join my family now in watching the Michael Jackson 30th Aniversary special and what not now so good night to you all and stay optomistic!!!

Wednesday, July 1, 2009

Waiting Period Day 4; PART 2

I just want to thank all of you again for all of your support!!! Thank you so much for your encouraging comments "wkd" and "Hopeful". I also noticed two new bloggers for those who are interested in following some blogs of newer members to our community.

Optomistic @ http://www.blogger.com/profile/02512128686554592190

and

Natural Researcher @ http://resolvethejourney.blogspot.com/

Good luck to you both and thanks for jeeping a blog on your experience :-)

Waiting Period Day 4

Nothing much different to report today...I had some more tingling last night but none so far this morning. The last few days it has been more specific to the left side of "down there", but I still dont have an outbreak. I'll keep my fingers crossed that one wont show up. Other than that, I'm having no other signs or symptoms of any kind that I'm noticing.

I was kinda thinking about testing sometime in the next week or so, just to have a piece of paper for my records so I can have something to compare it with on 9-25-09. When I got diagnosed, it was from my gyno looking at an outbreak so I have never officially been blood-tested for H. I think I'm gonna go to the Customer Service office at Kaiser and see that tests are covered by my insurance and what I can take there just to try and save some money on that. I'm nervous about going into the gyno though and requsting a test now and then coming back in september for another one...I have a feeling since they already know I have H, that they will give me a hard time about it and it will be humiliating. It's worth it to try though right?
