Ugghhh.....major whine inside! (again!!)

So, as most of you know, I've been having this left lower abdominal pain off and on for nearly a year and we've yet to find a cause for it (even after ct scans, exploratory lap, etc!!)  Anyways, just wanted to ask for your thoughts and prayers for this upcoming week!  I go to see a GI doctor on Monday, have a physical with my PCP on Tuesday, and I go back to the Osteopathic doctor on Wednesday (I had to cancel last week's appt with the osteopath due to being too busy at work!  Ugghh!)  I'm just hoping and praying that SOMEONE can give me some answers soon!  I want to be able to go work out, walk, run, and enjoy life like I did the first year after surgery!  I'm tired of being in pain and taking pain meds!  I'm tired of whining about the pain and I'm tired of being tired!

So, anyways!  Thanks for reading and letting me whine!

Hope everyone is doing ok!
Hugs and peace to all!
Ruth

It's not whining at all.  You're in pain and you have no idea why.  I can't even imagine how difficult this is for you.  I'll be praying that someone figures out what the heck is wrong and fixes it once and for all!  Keep us updated...

I'll keep praying for you! I feel so bad that no one can figure this out.  And it's very scary so I don't think you are whining at all, after all this time you deserve some compassion!

I think you have the right to whine!!  I am afraid I would be in the looney bin by now.  I will continue to pray for you that they find the answer soon!!  Promise though that if this round doesn't work that you consider Portland or Boston to see someone there??

We'll see what happens.  I also see Dr Cutie's partner at the beginning of March.  I was wondering, did you have to pay for your consult up front?  The paperwork I got this week says I need to pay like a hundred or so bucks at the time of the consult.  I was just wondering.   I'm kinda hoping the plastic surgeon will say my pain is due to this skin pulling on my spine/abdominal muscles or something and that MAYBE we can get my insurance to cover removal of this panni.  I doubt it, but I can hope, right?

I don't know what to say Ruth, I've said it all, you know i'm concerned and hate seeing you go thru this.   all i can say, is my thoughts and prayers will be with you,  Love you and Hugs....

I was told that I had to pay $105.00 for the consult visit too.  I think I'm going to have to reschedule/cancel mine because I can't spend that right now for only vain reasons (for myself), knowing that I wouldn't be able to afford any type of surgery in the near future if its not covered by health insurance.

I hope the docs can come up with a plan for you soon Ruth...you have every right to complain about how you feel!  It is maddening I'm sure to not be able to figure it out.

Thanks to all of you for your support.  You ALL are an amazing group and I seriously don't know what I'd do without you!

I'll let you know how things turn out this week.  Keeping my fingers crossed and saying my prayers!
