I'm in such a bad mood, so please excuse my attitude. I just needed to vent a little bit.
If you're a personal friend of mine then you know that the last couple of years, I have had issues with my health. I've seen several different doctors and specialists. I've done every type of test you can think of and I've had countless scans, etc. etc. All of them have ideas as to what my condition is, but none of them can come up with a firm diagnosis. So I'm on some heavy meds that don't seem to be helping for condition that they aren't sure that I have. Some days I feel fine, then there are other days where I'm sick or just in a weird mood. I guess you can call it mood swings...I don't know. But over the last 8 months, my stomach has been wacked. It started when I came back from Haiti in November. I went to the Dr...and they couldn't tell me anything, so I decided that this will just be normal for me and left it alone.
So a couple of weeks ago, I was having some pain in my side. It's happened before, but this time is really hurt. There were several other weird things (but I'll spare you the details.) I went to see my Dr and she referred me to another specialist. I made an appt, and he checked me out. He decided that I may have IBS. So tomorrow morning, I have to go to the hospital and have this little procedure done to check it out. Today, I can't eat anything...no solid foods...and I'm drinking some thick watery stuff to clean me out. You could call it extreme weight loss, I call it torture. I decided to just sit in my room and pout all day. I've got a couple of movies I could watch, and I'm going to drink my gingerale, eat my clear colored jello, and lemon pops.
BOO!! I hate this...
It's hard for me because I really wonder if they'll find anything. I mean, I've been through all this other crap and nothing, so why would this time be different. I'm so cynical I know...but I just can't be positive. We'll see...I'd appreciate some advice, encouragement, and definitely prayers.
Alright, gotta go pee...the liquid diet calls!!
I'm glad you think it's funny!!

Hey girl- I just saw your blog. Don't get discouraged. They will find out what is going on with you. I am really sorry this is all going on. Keep me updated!! I will be on a similar diet Thursday. I am getting the ole wisdom teeth out. Love ya girly!
sweet mel... i know this has been a long, frustrating process for you. i'm so sorry that you're having to go through yet another batch of tests. but have hope-maybe this test will be the one that solves the problem! regardless... i know it totally sucks right now. i'm praying for you and will be lifting you up tomorrow! i love you so much and miss your precious face!
I will be praying for you. I've been dealing with stomach issues for several years. I've had allergy testing, a colonoscopy, anti-depressants (supposedly helps with IBS), lots of pain, and NO answers as well. I'm seriously considering making the trip to an IBS treatment center in Seattle, WA. Check them out at www.ibstreatmentcenter.com
Call me if you want to vent, talk, whatever! :-)
Well, what did they find out? Let us know. I do have a suggestion to help with the bad moods! Stay just a little tipsy at all times! Not drunk, just tipsy!
I'M JUST KIDDING!!
I could probably get my husband fired for saying things like that! So...when he loses his job, make sure and come over and we'll get tipsy together!
I'M KIDDING AGAIN!!
I do hope you're feeling better though. Let me know what the doc said. Also, you said something about coming over and hanging out some time. I'd love it. SOON!
Love you Precious!
Hey Mel! I didn't know you had a blog! Im so excited!! Well, I know this was an older post...but I just want to encourage you!! I have had a lot of health problems as well, and some very (extremely, pretty much exact) similar to what you are going through. I know the frustration, and the suffering - its really hard! Call if you need anything! I'll be praying for you...how are you feeling?
