Thursday's Doctor appointment :(

Hi guys~ Just thought I would update some of you on how my appointment went with my endocrinologist. I took my 2 kidney stones in that I passed to him and he's having me drop them off at the lab this morning to have them analyzed. He said most likely they are calcium oxaylate stones. I've been extremely nauseated/headachy and tired for the past week and a half and am pretty bummed out about it. I also have pain underneath my ribs and pain in my shoulder on the right side (possible gallstones too) and my right kidney is very sore..doctor seems to think I may have a big stone which is breaking off in pieces right now. He took my blood pressure too and had to take it twice because he couldn't believe how low it was. Sooo...I have to go in this morning to get blood work done...testing me for anemia, thyroid,B-12 deficincey,blood sugars (grrrrr I'm really scared about that), cholesterol and some other stuff. I also have to get an ultrasound and catscan scheduled for Monday. I am so upset right now! I feel like perhaps I've traded other health problems for different ones. My husband also went with me and was complaining that I need to work past the tiredness and exhaustion and I said you know something you try to pass something the size of a pea through your pee hole and you tell me how you feel...I've worked 4-12hour shifts this week while feeling like crap...I haven't been to the gym in almost 2 weeks I've got no support from my husband and he's being very critical about what I'm going through..I weighed 167 at the doctor and he said oooh that's what 3 pounds in 3 weeks??!! I broke down when we got home and all he had to say to me was would you rather be fat and have the bad diabetes and high blood pressure?? I've also got to go for a typing test this morning since I applied for a new job with the courthouse near my home and he hasn't been too happy with that decision either. I just don't know what to do at this point..I'm just having a rough time. Any support would be sooo very much appreciated Thanks! Bridgett

Hi: Just curious to know did they put you on any meds. to prevent Kidny stones ..here in California our doctor put us on gallbladder meds. to prevent me from making stones? hang in there.... blessings... Dennis

Dennis~ Thanks for being supportive I really do appreciate it!! It seems like all you guys on here are the only ones I can really count on to give me that and understand what I'm going through. I haven't been put on any meds yet. I think he waiting to see what the outcome is from all the tests..so I'm sure I won't hear anything until next week (middle of week??) grrrrrrrr. I did pass another 2 stones last night and I'm wondering if the doctor was right about me having a big one up there and it's just sloughing off pieces a little at a time. As far as the gallbladder goes dunno what's gonna happen with that..I get the ultrasound and CT done on Monday. I'm just bummed out too because with all this pain and tiredness I've had, I can't get into the gym for my normal workout routines I hope you are doing well also Dennis take care! Bridgett
