Our head housekeeper calls every morning to ask how many rooms we had. She also never says bye or goodbye or any kind of closing word. I never know if the call is over until I see the line go dead. Wtf?0

@Frankie_Felinius Good Lord, I hope you feel better soon and find a better Dr's office. They need some better staff or the staff needs to be reminded of bed side manners.
I'm so tired of the rain and everything being wet. I can't take down my garland outside bc it's still wet. And rain chance everyday till this weekend.0 -

Wow....rude.
Scary about the Tornadoes. As ya'll know, I live in Texas but thankfully, nothing near us at this time. It's just cold as SMURF outside!
Thankfully, I have this hot ham, mashed sweet potatoes, and green bean casserole to keep me warm.
Also, all this sodium plus my newly intensified workout regimen is probably why I haven't lost the 7 pounds I've gained since Christmas Eve....

**TMI ALERT **
Sooo...I call the doc I was referred to and she is out of town for two weeks. I was told this after I explained my symptoms and gave all my info. I asked for a reference to another doctor since I'm feeling sickly and I can't wait that long and they told me they didn't have any, that I had to wait two weeks to schedule an appointment. So, I go to the ER...again. Turns out, I'm just effin crazy. They did an ultrasound and found nothing, labs came back fine. The effed up part is that last time I felt this sensation, they diagnosed me with an ovarian cyst...this feels bigger and worse but there is nothing?? And my gastro found nothing yet I have nausea that stops me in my tracks 10 times a day everyday and my appetie is a quarter of what it was and I have diarrhea that keeps me from doing things some days. But nothing. And get this shizz...the day after I was in the ER last week, I developed a yeast infection. Somehow that wasn't picked up on the tests they ran. The doc said today "Well, it looks like a yeast infection, just waiting on the test to confirm it." She gets the test results and it shows NO YEAST INFECTION...yet I CLEARLY have one. WHAT?! The doc gives me an anti spasmodic saying this effin "baby" kicking is just gas or a muscle spasm. Guess what...it is nearly 12 hours later and those sensations are not any less.
So it turns out I'm so effin crazy that I'm manifesting physical ailments that show up ON/IN my body but not on paper.
What the actual fudge???
I should be happy they didn't tell me they found anything suspicious but it is really effin difficult to be positive. Add this to the list of issues I have that don't really have successful treatments...you're just told to learn to "cope" with. I'm like, the opposite of a hypochondriac...I've had health issues since I was 18 and I just brushed them aside for YEARS until now when I feel like I'm falling apart...and I'm just looked at like I'm a nut.
And I come in to work and the breakfast area is in an unacceptable state...again. Apparently if a breakfast person calls off...whoever takes over for them is allowed to do a horseshizz job. My effin' manager was here today and it still is unstocked, dirty and they left the creamer & waffle batter out...so both had to be tossed. This happened one month ago and I sent pics to my boss of the mess/emptines along with a note explaining how it was unacceptable. Gotta be kidding me...
On the plus side? It snowed! Lots of snow! And it was a breeze to drive in thanks to my new tires.

If it looked like a yeast infection but tests came back neg. did she test for a bacterial infection or Trichomonas vaginalis?
Were you tested for any other STDs? Nevermind the fact that your partner is probably super faithful because you would murder him if he wasn't and I would help you hide the body... It doesn't matter where it came from right now. It only matters that you figure out what is wrong and how to get you better.
Have they ruled out a parasite? I know you just had a colo-whatsit, but could it be possible you had a little parasite that was disrupted by all the 'activity'?
At least you have snow!
More importantly, I DON'T have snow!

Always treat the patient, not the numbers. I don't care what the test said. If it looks like a duck and quack like a duck and walks like a duck, it's a yeast infection.0

I thought it would be a duck.....
Also, I thought I had a yeast infection and so did my doc until she tested and it was a bacterial infection and I had to take what felt like the worst antibiotic in the whole world.

They tested for all of the above. Twice. Last week and today.
The parasite thing is suspicious to me too...but it doesn't feel like it. It feels like a balloon being quickly slightly inflated and deflated, which are what kicks feel like...I just don't think that is what a parasite would feel like. And it is SO localized in one spot, which is more to the front and very low...where ovaries are. It feels like there is a lot of blood flow going there...you know what I mean? Probably not. It also feels like something is pressing on a nerve because my hip gets twitchy sometimes when "it" sits a certain way or whatever position I'm in bothers it. And twice since last week I've been hit with instant pain in my whole left hip area...lasted about 10-15 minutes both times. I just don't think it is a parasite but I did think of that as a possibility...
The docs also don't seem to think all of this is related but it just so happens I have three different "lady" issues, my body is breaking out in hives, my digestive system is so haywire it affects my daily life, I developed a rash just in my undereye area and I'm having weird cystic acne popping up inside my ears. Not in my ear canal but behind that bony cartlidge up top...nothing that can be seen beause it is like between my skull and ear but painful. I'm erupting from the inside out...but none of it is related?0 -

Agreed. You obviously have something going on...I hate they haven't found out what it is yet. Keep being persistent, you know your body best.0 -

That's funny because my fiance calls me that. We have talked about what job the other person "should" have had...if fate/fortune/life whatever turned out a different way. He always says for me...a doctor like House. I love science and biology and medicine and good mystery. I LOVE stuff like that. (Not right now, when it is me though...) Aaaand I wouldn't have the best bedside manner, a horseshizz bedside manner actually but I'd be so determined to fix the problem...I wouldn't REALLY be doing it for the patient but to satisfy my own curiosity and beat the thing. Baffles me that all these docs I see don't want to find out what is really going on with me...I'd HAVE to find out...for my own sake...

Yup. I would be googling furiously....
Also, definitely +1 to @bethanie0825 and her comments. You know your body, keep pushing until someone figures it out.0 -
After nearly 20 years in the workforce...I'm still baffled how people keep their jobs when they perform so poorly. I know @lilaclovebird & @belimawr understand this...well.0

Had a guy giving a lecture one time that said, "In 1980 we didn't have heart worm in the US. Now it's all over. We probably had heart worm but you can't find what you're not looking for." If they haven't found something, it's because they aren't looking for the right thing. You obviously have something going on. So don't say everything is normal when there is obviously wrong. The correct answer would be, "The test came back negative. We need to be looking for something else."0 -
I'd have rather heard that than "Why do you look like you are about to cry?"...which is what I heard before I walked out...0

I hear this more often at a vet office....
Although in MY case it wasn't "It's not a yeast infection. We need to be looking for something else."
It was basically "We preemptively tested for everything and THIS is what came back positive."
I also got a "You're losing weight on purpose? Okay, we're going to run your usual cholesterol and blood panel and then I'd like to do a few more tests to see if I can help you in any way."
I think that's the benefit of having a really good physician. She sees me as a person and not just a number or someone to get through to the end of the day.
Unfortunately/Thankfully, there was nothing she needed to/could do to help me lose weight faster.0 -

You have no idea... You really don't. I'm taking heat for them, they work in other departments but I can't go into detail because it wouldn't be politically correct...0 -
man...i gotta keep my breaks shorter. every time i pop out for a day or seven, *kitten* gets real in here.
FF - keep the faith. we're all pulling for you.
J417 - proud of those marks, girl! go on with your bad self!
LLB - it's funny how some random moment will completely turn your life on a dime in another direction. it sounds like that call the other night may have done just that for you...good luck, no matter what you decide to do.
I took off for the weekend and went to Louisville, KY and spent the weekend in room 815 at the Brown Hotel downtown...significant in that it was where the Cameron Crowe movie "Elizabethtown" was filmed, and it was the room that Orlando Bloom's character, Drew Baylor, stayed in while he was there (his character in the movie, that is).
Walked around downtown, had an awesome stromboli at a great pizza joint on 4th, and ducked back in just before the rains came...a good time, all in all.
gotta get back at it...weird calls all week here. I thought it'd be dead, but people are breaking stuff like you wouldn't believe.

Welcome back! Sounds like you had a good time!0

So let's see who else is on tonight and who is out drinking.

I'm hanging out at home...not drinking!0
-
Hanging out at work, taking two very dead puppies out of a dog in order to save her life. I'm taking the uterus at the same time so I won't have to do this again next year to the same dog.0
-
Sitting at work wishing the last 90 min of my shift will go by quietly now that most of the crashes from drunk drivers should be over with.....hoping not to get too many more domestic disturbance calls....these can be funny though when you read the note of what the caller tells us and what the officers responding put in at the end of the call.....but please.....no more drunk callers wanting me to "send a message to the entire world using that thingthey call the world wide web".......0
-
The dog is doing well. No drunk people calling here so far. That's unusual.

I managed to drink nearly a whole 750ml bottle of tequila and barely feel it. Which is odd being that when dad was here earlier in the week a bottle of lager was ready to knock me on my *kitten*. I guess I was just out of practice.0 -
This is going to be a really long weekend. I'm really learning to hate drinking holidays. If you're going to own a pet, don't blame me if you used all your money on drinks and now can't treat your pet. Don't make your bad financial management my problem.0

sucks that you have to deal with that, hope it gets better0

And as soon as I start hating people, in comes the nicest couple with a dog they have trained to be super good. I love clients like that.
