Persistance is key

Just another update.

Yesterday, after I posted here about 9:30 am, I saw gray. I've been having dizzy/light headed spells for quite some time, but I just felt like I was going to really pass out this time and I had eaten properly and everything else was fine. I told my coworker, in jest, if I should fall over to just pick me back up and prop me on my desk. She told my boss, who sent me to Occupational Safety/Health, who sent me to the ER.

I was dehydrated, nothing serious. Of course, the doctor didn't really want to do anything more than than handle that. I still don't understand why he didn't do another XRAY to check the bowel situation. Anyway, I won't go on that tangent again.

I came in to work today, explained everything to the boss and she asked me why I don't call the Gastroenterologist and see if they have an opening sooner than next Wednesday? So, I did. I didn't know they had a "cancellation list" and I was put on it. An hour later she called me back and I'm going in tomorrow afternoon at 12:30pm.

Finally! Now maybe something will get done. Maybe there isn't anything majorly wrong with me? Maybe I just need to find a better way to get regular again? I don't know, but my PCP's office and ER physicians are definitely not capable of figuring anything out that is particular to GBS Patients, nor did they really try. I feel better knowing that a Gastroenterologist, who specializes in my issues, will finally be able to diagnose and treat whatever is wrong with my crazy butt! No pun intended. Okay, it was.

I also set up my 2 year post-op with Dr. Moore on the 28th of August, so I have to get up to Suffolk to do my labs in  the next 2 weeks. It will be nice to share whatever has happened with him and it will hopefully be taken care of by then.

Thanks for your continued thoughts, prayers, and support. You guys are the best!

I hope everything gets settled. Keep us updated. call me if you need anything. Luv Ya!

Glad your boss was so understanding and made sure you got some help. Also that he/she told you to call the gastro doc again and you got in faster. I will keep you in my prayers.

I messaged you elsewhere! Been thinking about you so much and prayed a lot last pm. I hope that things get taken care of and your appointment is success today. I know its annoying. I'm GLAD you're ok. Did I mention I love ya? Yep, I do. Stuff is weirding me out but I'm staying true.

Big hugs........

Hoping things go well at the dr. today and you get some answers.

Still praying for you.  Hoping all goes well today at the doctor.  Glad you got in sooner!
