Update on the stomach issues (this might get gross)

So I went to the HORRIBLE GI doctor and my opinion of this doctor has only gotten worse. I had called several days in advance to get my file out of archives and they told me they had found it only to NOT give it to the doctor. So I was glad when I brought all of the paper work from the tests she ran 2 years ago. She looked at it said that my tests 2 years ago looked normal and asked me about my pain. I described it to her and compared the intensity to that of when I had gall stones only to have her stop me and to say "well it cant be because its on the left side too" (I had already told her I had my gall bladder taken out a year ago). Then she asks me what I have done to help with the pain. I told her that I was taking a stool softener which had been recommended her my regular doctor. She feels my stomach doesn't say a whole lot and then leaves the room. She comes back saying that she want to get a test done (which I got done a year ago) and then says she is going to give me a prescription. She gave me a prescription of the SAME medication I am already on. Not only that but for the same dosage! This made me so mad because she definitely wasn't listening to me and she was acting like I was made it up! I'm sorry but if someone is experiencing pain for years at a time don't you think that there might be some truth to it? Plus when I had surgery the surgeon found that there was a build up of tissue (which looks like tendons) that he said was caused from YEARS of irritation. Needless to say I am less than happy with my results and I am trying my own methods of trying to treat it. Such as taking digestive enzymes to help with how my body breaks down the food. So far a vast improvement. Funny how I can find something better for me than a STUPID specialist.

Don't get the wrong idea

I know my last post made it seem like my life might revolve around Cory but I would like to clear that up. Its not like im laying in my bed just wishing for Cory to come back. I do miss him but the last blog was more about how I feel disappointed with the fact that only 1 (count them ONE!) of my married friends would call me back. And she even has a kid. It just bums me out that people that I have invested time and energy in to trying to keep a relationship can't even call me back. I even called a friend on her birthday and called multiple times last week and not once did she pick up the phone or call me back. But thank you to my few friends that I have had a chance to hang out with. It was fun! By the way I did have fun line dancing and if you ever want to go just ask I will go!
