What tests do you have at your annual clinic appointment?

I have never had a CT Scan.

I usually get x-rays every couple of years or so, unless I'm having a problem, then they'll go ahead and order it. I've had quite a few over the last couple of years.

Blood work I only have done when absolutely necessary (due to needle phobia).

I have never had a bone density scan.

I haven't had an oral glucose test, although they keep pushing me to.

I usually have sputum cultures done every 3 months, unless I'm having problems.

My O2 sats are checked every 3 months at clinic. I don't know if they have ever been checked while exercising.

I do the spirometry test to check pft's every 3 months. I have never had the "box" test done. I had never even heard of the "box" test until I saw it on this website.

I have never had an endoscopy.

I don't have allergies.

I know my annual appointment will not follow the norm, but the first thing that was done for me was a CT scan, then an Xray and lastly my FEV. The CT scan is a one off for me, but my understanding is that it gives a much clearer benchmark picture than an X-ray.
