I am 56 years old and other than IC I have no other known health issues. I am not on any prescription drugs. I am considering putting off blood work and yearly physical for a year. Last April my bloodwork was very good. Any benefit anyone can think of that I should still have it done that I might not be considering?

Oh- Forgot - also it was helpful because when the MD found out I had IC, she said ,"There are dietary things you can do for that- avoiding orange juice, etc" hahahahahaha!!! Thanks Doc! I hate to be sarcastic but really??? This was after I explained the diet I was on. She also could not understand why I would not get a flu shot that day.
Basically, I just needed to connect with a Dr in case I need them for something like a broken arm. When I needed a tb test for my school job, I was able to ask her if I could get a chest x-ray instead and she wrote the referral so I am glad I had her.
