I happen to work in a lab as a phlebotomist and as a rule we do not accept lab slips that are over 6 months old. I beleive this is the policy for most offices.

Ok, first off you are going to have to prove yourself to him, he is hurt right now.  And therefore you are pretty much just going to have to wait, but make sure that he knows you are there waiting for him.

Has he had his throid checked?  A simple bloodtest will be able to answer many questions.  He may even have food allergies that cause him to binge on food.  This is often triggered by stress, other food or drink, chemical imbalance in the brain or body, or heredity, just to name a few!  If he isn't already doing so, he should be keeping a detailed journal/diary of everything that he eats & drinks.  The times included, as well as how he is feeling and what he is doing prior to eating will be helpful if he wants to pinpoint his most "dangerous" binge times!  Have you thought about letting HIM take care of this on his own?  Since it sounds like his problems have become your problems, perhaps if you lightened your load by concentrating on yourself,  he could gain some inner strength if he saw that his wife was happy doing things that did not require him to be her sole provider of happiness.  You may want to explore some type of couples counseling, or go it alone in order to get a grasp on just what seems to making BOTH of you unhappy.  Something is hiding beneath all of this & it will take some time & work to get it out to the surface before it can be dealt with.  If you want to help him, you first must help yourself by becoming educated on your own strengths & weaknesses.  He is an adult & so are you, & being a good wife doesn't mean that you must mother him, (as it sounds like you have been doing).  You say that going out on your own makes him feel worse.  How does it make you feel?  He may be using his weight to manipulate you into staying with him, as you have become his security blanket.  Please get some help before you end up in worse shape than he is in.  This is a complex issue that can & will tear your heart to pieces if you continue to attempt surgery on a patient with no formal training, which in a way, is what you are doing.  One of you has to take charge of yourselves if you are going to survive this & go on...with or without one another.

you should go have another test done

It's best to get him to a doctor.  He needs thyroid hormone (taken daily) to get better.  The meds should help him feel better in about a week.  The weight should be easier to lose with meds, though he will still have to diet and excercise.  Good luck.

I went 5 1/2 monthes without a period because of weight loss. If he says you thyroid is fine, he probably also checked your full blood work and did a pregnancy test. You'll probably kick in eventually. My doctor said you can let it slide for about 6 months before he'd get worried about it. Good Luck!

You really want to get your thyroid checked.  If that is fine then ask the doctor about any circulation problems.  If those all come back clear then its just something you will have to deal w/.

I suggest to call and make another appointment. That way you can be sure that somebody will make time for you. They will tell you at the call as well if you can complete this validation at normal office hours.

If it was your first time, I would atleast wait until next time and see what happens. Sometimes the nervousness from then whole experience can effect the results. If the 2nd time isnt any better then all you can do is be honest with him.

Call your doctor, and have them check your thyroid function.

I would imagine that a complete physical exam from your new doctor and a complete blood work up will most likely show where your problem lies. Ten years is a lifetime for some drugs. It is possible that it nolonger exists and has been replaced by something else. My suggestion, explain the whole situation to your doctor now and go from there.

Is it a window of time in which she says she will come or just plain old late?  If she works for a company, talk to them.  It may be the patient she visits before you takes too much time and the company does not schedule her enough time there.  \n\nIf that doesn't work, as they assign you someone else.

If you want to see him, call him.  He may have thought you were busy and is waiting for you to call.

Maybe he should try to re-up for a different MOS.  I know that things now for military people and their families are very stressful but trust me when you get out it's more stressful unless you have a job lined up.  Most prisons want to hire you or law enforcement if you are prior military service.  My experience after getting out of the military was not easy, it was very hard for me to find a job.  They wanted more education etc....or wanted to pay me nothing.  Like you said Health Care is a big issue.  If I were him I would look at a different MOS.\nGood luck to  you both

Get a good medical checkup. Especially endocrine system.
