If it actually is appendicitis it can be dangerous to wait. It can rupture and cause a life threatening infection. |
I am glad you have an appt. You can always call your other doctor and see what they say too. There are sooooo many things that it could be....it could be serious or not....apparently the doctors aren't too concerned if they aren't getting you in until tomorrow...use your judgement...I just hope you get better soon! :love-hug1 |
I'm glad you have an appt also. I really wouldn't google anything, lol -- IMO googling my symptoms makes me think I'm dying of some disease when it's always something simple. If you start to feel worse you can always go to the ER -- I think if it was really serious you would know by now but it's so good you're heading into the dr tomorrow for peace of mind :) |
I hope you are feeling better.My stomach has been killing me for the last 2 hours,I think i'm gettin a ulcer. |

While it's probably something quite simple, appendicitis is nothing to mess with. Be careful tonight and don't hesitate if you feel at all apprehensive. |

But I do agree w/you -- it could be serious and better safe than sorry. :) |

Sorry, off topic, but :lol tears |
My doctor AND the vet always tells me...don't believe everything you read!! I always look up symptoms, etc and then FREAK out and it is always NOTHING major!! :cool: |
Heather....any updates? I read that normally w/ appendicitis (in my new health book) that you have vomitting and the like, plus blood in urine, etc....And that it is painful to breathe, move, cough, etc. It says the the syptoms can be hard to diagnose because they are similiar to bladder infections, kidney stones, ovarian cysts, pelvic infections, inflammations of the stomach, colon and bowels...etc. Please let us know how you are today! :love-hug1 |
so I just got back from the hospital. The doctor sent me there because they think I might have appendicitis. Problem is they wanted me to get a ct scan done on my appendix but it is going to cost me $1800 after insurance which I really don't have. So my doctor told me that I can hold off for now but if it gets any worse tonight that I have to go to the er. My side still hurts so I am just resting on the couch praying for a miracle. Thanks for thinking of me everyone! I'll try to keep you updated. |
I will pray the pain goes away. I just worry that it may rupture, If you have any change in pain get to the ER. |
I will be praying for you.. just take it easy! |
Oh no:( hope you get better soon and its nothing serious..please if you feel worse GO TO THE ER I know thats a lot of money but its not worth your life, my brother almost died when he had an apendicitis and he waited 2 or 3 days..I would hate to see the same thing happen to you.... :getwellso |
Did they do a blood test? Do you have an elevated white cell count? Did they say you had a fever? We have a family history of appendicitis, and I would always overreact when my boys had the slightest abdominal pain. The doc finally told me that these are the first two signs. If those things are present...girl...get your butt in for the tests!! Most places will work out a payment plan for emergency situations. Just ask them. :thumbup: |
You\'re lucky you have health ins. period...the thing is, your life comes first, don\'t worry about the money..I used to work our hospital in collections..as long as they paid something every month, there was nothing that could be done |
