i feel you, i was really sick for several months off and on and finally got REALLY sick and the doctors danced around the subject like a bunch of crooks that they are. they tried heartburn meds and they didn't work so i got another appt. and ended up in the hospital because i was dehydrated and sick and my stomach aches were so painful and only in the mornings...(i wasn't pregnant either) the ER doc was an A hole and did a ct scan and had me go for a sonogram of my pelvic region but NOT my tummy. i even asked for the upper stomach because that's what hurt and she said she couldn't drs orders. stupid! so then i'm on a 3 day antibiotic from the ER doc that he only gave to shut me and my mom up and i have a 5000 hospital bill for NOTHING, they claimed it was an unknown pelvic problem. so then i still need help and get to my family doctor finally after trying forever to see him...he does a ton of tests like a stool sample. more blood work, and all this stuff and they NEVER found a thing. i finished the antibiotic the ER doc gave to me and some more of the same thing i had leftover from another time and i got better from them.
i forgot to mention before this Dr dance i went to the natropathic doctor, whom i do trust, but he wanted me to take like 200 worth of herbal stuff only he makes and doesn't claim for insurance. and the family dr. had me do another sonogram of my liver and stomach like i'd requested before.
it was the WORST dancing around the real problem i've ever experience, but finally i got better off plain old anitbiotics and i've been fine ever since. thank God insurance paid all the bills but 180 of them. and after getting better we got Sadie so i wouldn't be all alone at home while hubby worked because part of me wonders if i just got depressed as a newly wed in a new town and needed company.!?
anyways that's my I HATE DOCTORS story...it took forever for all those tests to tell me nothing and to this day no one knows what was wrong with me |
