A Perfect Week
Two days ago, the modem in our computer went out, & both our modular phones also bit the dust (2 different phones). Tomorrow I am going to the urologist at 8:40 AM to follow up on UT problems. Is this perfection or what? I need another doc. to add to my bouquet of physicians.

I am also on Hyoscyamine. It helps with my pain I get at times. I also get bloated every night. I havent found anything to help quite yet but diet during the day and laying flat on my back helps pass the gas. Although I actually have not been bloated for 4 days but it will come again. I have had to completely stop all dairy foods, and I hate it. Lactaid didnt help me either. I have IBS.

Bobbie, here I sit picturing you plucking on a "daisy of a physician" flower saying "he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not" or post c. diff. "he understands me, he understands me not" etc. I don't know why but that is what popped into my mind. Perhaps I have finally lost that last thread of sanity. Who knows.... I just hope they give you good news!

Knitter,
Don't think any docs. "love me" but think I've dealt with enough over the years to have them respect me -- I hope. It took me years to gain enough courage to be assertive.
The cystocope showed no cancer cells. Possible diagnosis is
Interstitial Cystitis although most of my symtoms don't "fit." A more accurate diagnosis requires biopsy -- no thx. Enoug tests, enough torture. Kidney tests showed scarring, thicking of kidney wall, & cyst (but benign.) Large "mass" on sonogram turned to be hiatal hernia -- knew I had it. Don't ask me how it could have been confused with mass in kidney. Sonogram probably done incorrectly or read wrong.
Thx. for asking. Glad you are doing better & posting again. We missed you.

Most likely (or at least in my case) my doctors now KNOW I do not cry wolf and they also know when I present with a problem it needs to be dealt with. I can honestly say that my doctors are better now than ever before in that department. I guess they realize after this period of time I will not put up with less-------and I will change docs in a heart beat if needed. I have had enough docs and enough problems to last me a lifetime and WHEN I get well they may never see me again unless brought in by ambulance! ha!
This is totally off the wall too.......I have been going through a terrible time with my foot and just yesterday had to go for bone scan. At the hospital everyone was filling out paperwork EXCEPT ME and I looked at my husband and said "Hummmmm wonder why they don't ask me to fill out anything!" My dearest replied, "Well, Cindy they know you now by your first name and know your entire history you are here so much so why do they need paperwork?"----------Does this explain my connections to the medical field now? Possibly a VIP????? Ha!

I went to the doc to get the forms signed for the Medic Alert membership and bracelt the other day. He now tells me I will never be able to take antibiotics again. He also tells me that he will help me fight to get disability as my Menieres is acting up a lot again, which causes bad vertigo and vomitting. If not for bad luck I'd have no luck! Sorry, can't type much when I am dizzy. I'll be going to the trailer for two weeks and perhaps the fresh air will help with all this. No computer access there, so I'll check on you all when I get back. See you in two weeks.
