What's up, Doc?
Tuesday, 25 July 2006 19:31Note: current battles are 1 post down.
So, went to the doc to see what was up. Showed her the written record I've been keeping, told her everything I told you in the last LJ post. They took some of my blood to test.
My blood is normal. Shows no signs of infection or anything. According to my blood, everything is good. According to my abdomen and these pains, I'm clearly not. Anything with the stomach has been ruled out, simply because my appetite is good, there's no vomiting, nausea, anything. She poked and prodded me, didn't hurt. And the doc was completely baffled. In doing so, she referred me to Albany Gastroenterology, which is just below my doc's office. So, I went here to set up an appointment. At first, the earliest appointment she had was in September. I refuse to live with this pain for another 2 months. So, she went to work and actually made an appointment for me tomorrow afternoon.
My original doc did say that if these fevers come around again, go to the emergency room.
This is maddening--to know something is wrong with you, but the doc can't tell you what. Especially when blood tests don't reveal anything. I hope we can find something tomorrow.
I should never have gotten medical insurance. For the last 3 years, I was fine without it. Nothing happened. Now I have it, my body is falling apart. However, I won't stop until they find whatever's wrong with me.
