Stupid Guest Tricks

Glad the meds are working Bru. Sleep really is a marvelous healer. Definitly talk to your Dr. He works for you after all. Continued {{hugs}} coming your way.

Thanks everybody- and hobie I know you're right- I am thinking (and hating, hating, HATING the idea of needing a second opinion but...

the tests came back normal, doc said. March and I both stared at her in disbelief given the pain I've been in. She wants me to start with another specialty (gastroenterology, and gawd I just have NO interest in starting there with everything else going on...) We're thinking another gyn. opinion may be in order first.

I'm about to head to my third doc appt. of the week and I am so freaking sick of it.

Anybody know where I left my white flag? Cause I'm ready to wave it and just go AWOL from all but the doc who is making me slightly less crazy than I normally am.

I feel like Wile E Coyote: holding up the little sign that says "Stop in the name of humanity..."

and yes, I'm whiny today. Sorry. Just been poked places I hate being poked and do NOT want to get poked places I have even less desire to be poked.

GAH.

I just want to go to WDW. Right now. I miss it. Been more than a year now, I'm seriously pining.

:coyote: :stopname:

I've got both elements, but I haven't got time today to put them together. Will this do?

Bru, hope they find the cause of the pain STAT. Agree with Hobie 2nd opinion doesn't hurt. Gyno may be in order, but I wouldn't turn down GI consult. :)

Maybe using one of these would be easy.

OMG, i love you guys.

yeah, all those work. i feel like i've been to the airport, BW.

spent saturday/sunday at the U again- they kept me for observation this time cause of the fact that my blood count keeps dropping.

it's hanging out somewhere around like, 8...just barely at this point.

yeah, i know...

they sent me home with iron pills, vitamin c, and the suggestion that i get to my primary care doc for a referral to another gyno.

yesterday, he (primary care doc) wanted to put me in another hospital (unfortunately the one where they misdiagnosed my stroke all those years ago- not going back there!) he was talking transfusion. i don't wanna.

so he suggested i try going back to the u to talk to a hematologist at this point about convincing the ob/gyns they need to just do the damned surgery and quit dinking around. they want to do 'ablation' this and a bunch of other things i can't have (no more hormones for me with my stroke history, they know that...)

i'm so sick of hospitals, and fifteen doctors who won't just do what needs to be done (remove the offending organ for which i no longer have any use anyway)

at least they ruled out GI and appendix issues (which given the pain i've been in, i had to wonder...)

been so exhausted this is the first time i've been near the computer in days.

conflicting opinions- and no answers. i'm seriously considering going out of state for another opinion this time- cleveland clinic is not that far away.

i'm so tired, my friends. so very tired.

thanks for making me laugh tonight.

xoxo

Take it easy on the iron pills. Too many and you'll get lead in the pants. ;)

It sounds like you are where I was last year.... I asked about ablation but they couldn't (diabetes). I read up on it, sounds better than a hysterectomy
They offered me a transfusion but Provera, vit c and Iron brought me back. Know Provera is probably not for you. Docusate Sodium helps prevent Lead Pants ;)

Hemoglobin of 8 would make anyone tired!

Keeping you in my thoughts and crossing my fingers the docs get a clue soon.

{{{{{Bru}}}}} All I can do is send you cyber hugs and add you to my prayers.
