Default Blood work and fasting

Ick.

Anyways, my GP's sending me to get blood work done to test vitamin levels, the results to go to my neuro for follow up with me.

With that said, the 'rules' are to fast for 12 hours before hand. No problem, 8 pm to 8 am, when I go in there, no food and drink, I can do this!

My only 2 concerns though, can I chew sugarless gum and take my pain medication, or am I to abstain from both?

Of course the doctor didn't say anything about medications. I'm more concerned about that part, but will veto both if you knowledgeable folks can tell me.

All the durn sheet says is 'small sips of water'. Nothing about stuff like gum and medications.
