Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired

Gosh I'm in a hideous mood. Just about want to gag myself when I read posts that are feeling great, no complications, happy, carefree, etc... (Don't really mean this, ya know, I'm truly happy for everyone...) I'm just worn down silly. This morning after my protein shake and a cup of coffee, I hurt so damn bad that I put my head down on my desk and cried. I felt like no call to any doctor was going to get me anywhere faster than the appointment that I have tomorrow afternoon and I felt so damn defeated. I am honestly... sick and tired of being sick and tired. I'm tired of chest pains and acid reflux after every single thing I eat whether solid or liquid. I've resorted to eating a Tum here or there to help (and it does help to a very small degree but you can only take so many of those suckers). My calcium tablets/wafers cause discomfort. Think it is the citric acid in them. Coffee is now out (probably should have been eons ago but at 1 cup... I didn't see the problem... WRONGO!) Damn near everything is out. I'm miserable. I'm not exercising except for a walk at lunch and then I'm walking slow and a bit scared of not feeling well during/after. I felt horrid on my drive home yesterday and had extra saliva and had to resort to spitting into a plastic bag on my lap. Lovely picture I paint, eh? When will this all end?

Kathy, I'm so sorry you're feeling rotten. I hope the Dr. is able to help you tomorrow. I know it's got to be terribly frustrating to feel so poorly and not to know exactly what's wrong. Big hugs from this part of Richmond and let us know what you find out tomorrow.
