Turned 50 and my body fell apart!

Yep turned 50 went to the doctor. The test they run.
EKG they did two both come out different. My cholestrol is high and emizines are really high. They tell me I am high risk for heart attack. Gave me meds.  Sad
 
Then they do the pap smear thing I hat thost things. While she is doing that she says she will do the retal exam. She says this as she rams her finger up my ass. A little more warning would have been nice. Shocked
 
They send me for a Dex test (measures my bones) I flunked that one. They are giving me meds  Sad
 
They test my hearing, I lost conserable hearing in both ears. So its off the the ear doctor Monday. See when I say what I wasn't being stupid I really did not hear ya Smiley
 
They did that test where you walk toe to toe, well I found out if I ever get stopped by the police and they think I am drinking, not to even try to do the test just let them take me to jail. Sad
 
They will be doing a mamogram and ultra sound on me next Saturday. I am really looking forward to having my tit put in a vice and mashed.  yikes
The ultra sound won't be bad its just sticky LOL
 
Then the last test oh this should be fun! They are going to do a Flexible Sigmoidoscopy Procedure.I just don't think my ass is going to like this test. For two days I have to be on a clear liquid diet before the test. They make you take three friggen enemas.  They are giving me valium before the test. I am having nightmares about this test.  Then it says on this paper work after this is over if you should  have more than a half a cup of blood coming from your butt then call the doctor. I am thinking man they are going to put a tube up my butt and its going to hurt or they wouldn't be giving me a valum, they are going to make it bleed. Any amount of blood coming from my ass is going to scare the hell out of me.  nono I am going to have to think about having this test done. My ass is a virgin and I am going to keep it that way  laugh
I think I may chicken out of this one. Undecided
 
Who thought these test up???????????
 
I want to be 20 again  Wink

Woob's right... you look great, so do not sweat it.
 
What cholesterol meds did they put you on?  Ask for Lipitor or another good statin.  They are finding that Lipitor is the wonder drug... look it up... does everything for every one.
 
Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs Cut Stroke Risk
http://www.paktribune.com/news/index.php?id=59609
 
Study backs lowering cholesterol even more
http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/news/nation/8138158.htm
 
I have been on Lipitor for three years now.  No side effects.  When I increased my life insurance from $1m to $2m I had to get another physical.  At that time I found out that my cholesterol is out of whack... not high, but the good to bad ratio was messed up... not enough good, so my doc put me on Lipitor until the day I die.
 
My dad kicked the bucket suddenly at the young age of 56 from a heart attack.  Go with the Lipitor.  Keep the heart healthy my friend!

Elaine,
 
I've only got 334 more days 'til...the big L (50)
 
Languish and lassitude?
 
I'm sure I'll learn to like it.
 
Take care, there are more rungs on the ladder to go.
 
Crap, I was never good at shuffleboard.
 
Hope your butt comes up clean. Lips Sealed

Thanks Elaine!
I just got around to reading this post.
I'm at the end of my rope right now fighting these headaches... Everytime I even think about laying down my head explodes. It's terribly depressing.
But some how I feel a little better now. Grin
I hope everything goes well for you!

I'm with Kip on the Senior Citizen thingy.  Age is just mind over matter - if you don't mind - it don't matter! (yeah right!)
 
Seriously, I just don't have tests run - that way I don't get all those long looks. Go to the vitamin store and get Cayenne Pepper caps for the colestrol (don't have a problem with that one) and the heart problems (gotta find a heart first). B6 for the swelling (yep us Older ladies get that whether we want it or not) and a few dozen other vitamins for other things. My doc gets upset cause he can't find things wrong with me. I keep telling him all my problems are in my head!
 
Then I keep a 2 year old on weekends to get all the exercise I need for the week. Seems to be working.  
 
Of course, over sixty, you get a new lease on life.... I have FOUR men in my life these days: I usually wake up with Charley (horse), then I go visit John. After that Arthur (Ritis) comes to visit, so I go back to bed with Ben (Gay).  Undecided
 
Hang in there - docs get paid to find things wrong with us. Start with the vitamins.... then all we have to worry about is the headaches...
 
Hugs BD

Thanks guys. I am a little worried about how all these test will come out. I had my hearing test done today by the ear doctor, lost concerable hearing in both ears. Means I need two earing aids. $2,250 per ear. I won't be getting them. Thats $4,500 !!! People are just going to have to talk louder when talking to me and when I get old I have a quiet world to look forward to Smiley
 
Next test is mamogram and ultra sound next Saturday. Suzy your post brought back memories. I know how important these test are. Maybe someday they will come up with a better way for us Smiley! Glad your going to be ok !
 
 
 
Margi I am ROTFLMAO at that message. Thanks so much for the warning LOL! You should post that LOL
 
I am glad I can make some of you guys smile.  Its good for us to smile Smiley
 
I don't go for the ass test till May, I don't have a baby sitter for JD so have to wait till Deveny takes her vacations so thats on hold till May!
 
Thanks for the thumbs up all!
