Is anyone else tired about hearing about my health problems? I know I am. I just need really good vibes to get me through the next couple weeks.
There is something wrong with me, and I have NO idea what it is...and neither do the doctors. So, today I'm going in for a mammogram (not a big deal...I think. It's my first) and an ovarian ultrasound. Next week, I get to have a colonoscospy. woohoo. My problems are all over the place. I have a hard time eating at times, I get the dry heaves first thing in the morning (I had a throat endoscope done a few weeks ago and it showed ulcers in my esphogus and stomach), I get major cramping in my left side some times during "that time of the month" (hence the ovarian ultrasound and colonoscopy), and I'm tired constantly. I have NO motivation to do anything. I still haven't put away the Christmas decorations, and it's Feb.
I just haven't felt like myself for about a year. I'm just scared about what they might find. And I'm tired of doctors and of tests. They've already done an ultrasound on my gallbladder, liver and kidneys and they are fine. I'm just terrified they are going to find cancer. I watched both my parents die of cancer and I'm afraid that is my fate also.
My MIL thinks it's my thyroid. My PCP ordered blood tests a few months ago and he told he my thyroid is "out of wack", but he didn't do anything about it. I'm going to wait until all the tests come back, and if they show nothing I'm going to insist to be referred to my MIL's thyroid doctor.
Part of the problem is I was never taken to the doctor when I was a kid unless a bone was broken or if I was bleeding so much a bandaid wouldn't take care of it. I can't say anything bad about my parents because they didn't have insurance for 3 years because dad was out of work (in the 70's). But, they just took care of everything at home with home remedies if possible.
I'm sorry, I know I sound like a drama queen, but I'm scared. I want to know what is wrong with the, and at the same time I don't. Ignorance is bliss, right? But, I also don't want to let something go that could be treated now.
I have a habit of expecting the worse. I just needed to vent and I'm so sorry it's so disjointed. Thank you for listening (or reading...lol!).
