I love knowing things. Data and facts. Facts and data. There is power in knowledge, and I wish more people (companies, etc) followed that. In fact, especially when it comes to you and your body, facts and knowledge are key. I always wondered why we don't have more 'baseline' tests when you're in your 20s to see what the the status of things is so that in your 30s and beyond you can identify changes early. E.g. blood test everything; do the full-body MRI or CT, ultrasound more sensitive areas, etc. Do the test. Know what 'normal' is early so that you can find abnormal early and treat for it!
So that's why when I get new test results back, it always makes me happy. Now I have a new baseline. A new "chalk line" for what 'normal' looks like, or if those changes we see are still 'normal' for me.
I hope you get to find your baselines! Be your own advocate. Speak up. ASK for the test. You deserve it, and your future self will thank you!
