I am okay @outlander
Like I said I am up-late most nights - and I can have a nap if I feel like it - but I feel well today
If I wasn't able to spend time on line like that - well I wouldn't - so it was completely okay
And I am up for hand-holding if I am free - just let me know - there are times when I am not - going out for having domestic help - but most of the time - I am a home-body

Ok @Owlunar@Former-Member@Anony18@oceangirl@Former-Member @Pepsimax@Shaz51@Queenie-bella i tagged you here but you dont have to respond
so gp appointment first
she was really nice and she pretty much runs on time. I had to fill in papers and that took longer than expected so I held it up abit
we discussed meications and all my symptoms and things as well. She felt around my whol stomach and she said where most of the pain is gall bladder so its ossible I have gall stones or starting to get them. The other part of the pain could be IBS and also acid build up in my stomach so all of that combined my god!
The next bit is she wants a urine test to rule out any urinary tract infections, bugs and parasites of any sorts. Sh said its unlikeley a kidney infection but she is leaning more towards the IBS,acid and gall stones.
She said the stress would be contibuting to all of this and agrivating the IBS and acid but she thinks I still have something going on with gall baldder.
She also wants to add other tests to the bloods my other gp has ordered as well, so also check for other bugs, viruses, IBS, and anything else and to also wait for the pap smear and std results to come back to see how they are going as well.
Shes prescibed me some antiacids but I dont think ill take them yet in case they affect me badley and I cant afford that right now – no this close to my exam
Wow ok so thats a lot covered in a short time.
Secondly I had the ultrasound. I could do a walk in as I hadnt eaten anything so that came in handy and the smal mouth ful of liquid to go with tablets is ok for this
it took me 20 minutes to get the ultrasound done. Wow I could feel the difference in pressures between both sides. The right side was really painful and I tensed up so much.
Im abit overweight so it was probably my fault she had to push so hard but im working on that. Ive lsot 10 kg in like 4 months so I think im doing ok. And only 4 kgs to go until im in a very healthy weight range.
She was nice but she was rough. Im glad I got a female though

@outlander I'm glad your Doctor was nice to you, it's unfortunate she had to be a little rough, but worth it if she finds a solution to your pain. I think it was @Owlunar who warned you about the Gall bladder problem, perhaps they could give you some advice as to what foods to eat or avoid to help you get through tomorrow. I'm going to hop off the Forum for a while now - and procrastinate about the mountain of dirty dishes beside my kitchen sink 🙂
Proud of you for continuing to strive for an answer to your health problems

Oh Wow - @outlander
That is good news - I knew there had to be something going on - that kind of pain has a reason - a cause - and you have found out a lot and sound so much better
I'm sorry she was rough - but that might be her way and a good thing - she had to push you a bit because you were a bit stuck on the scared side - I understand that - maybe she did too
Fantastic news - my hards are okay from all the hanging on - really good
I have made myself a decent meal and I am about to eat it - I am glad about that - my stomach thinks my mouth has forgotten about it

@outlander - still in tact and not one pain...these bones are strong haha. Glad to hear you got an answer. Hopefully gives you some comfort - emotionally and mentally. Maybe not so much physically.
Is your exam today? How did it go?
