Got the Blues Bad Today

Terytha

I walked out of my last doctor's appointment and thought, maybe I'll become one of those statistics, one of those women who died of something treatable because all the doctors would look at is weight, and not the actual problem.

I spent last night biting my shirt so my screams wouldn't wake my husband. That's how much pain I was in, am in every couple weeks, for the last 4 months since my stomach stopped working.

But I'm just fat you guys. Just fat.

And tired.

Sorry to hear you are going through this. If you are not happy with what your doctors are doing, maybe its time to see someone else. Somestimes a fresh set of eyes really helps!

I don't know if there's any left. Feels like I've seen every doctor in the city.

Was one of them a gastroenterologist? I had the same pain you're describing, landed in the ER and had emergency surgery for an upper GI bleed.

After I was back home, the pain continued. Saw another specialist who did a scan and it ended up being an umbilical hernia.

Don't hesitate to go to the ER if you're getting no satisfaction and relief from your doctors.

Feel better. 💟

I know what you have been through trying to get a diagnosis, and a good idea of the number of doctors etc you have seen.

Unfortunately, I have nothing that will help you.

Just sending a big ((( ))).
