The dumbass scheduler told me I would have to do a no-water fast, but it turns out that I can drink water (which I only found out because I called today to get more details about the test itself). In fact, showing up thirsty/dehydrated is actually a bad thing for this test.

Being able to drink water beforehand makes it way way easier.

Not thrilled about the radiation from the CT, but apparently it's unlikely to be of much long term danger, since it will only be the 2nd one I have in my life, plus CT radiation is more dangerous in females than males due to not having to be concerned about ovarian cancer.

Anyway, while this CT is unlikely to give answers for the LPR/anxiety, it will answer some other unrelated outside concerns, due to some abnormal blood test & ultrasound results last month.
Don't want to incur your wrath but you've got to find someone (professional) whom you trust to guide you with diagnostic tests etc.
You are living in the country with the number one medical system, as i've been told, so pay up, find someone who will agree with you and go from there. This ain't rocket science.
It's gas but not rocket fuel
