I feel better

I forgot on my last post that I was going to tell everyone how I've been feeling. Since being on the acid reflux medicine I have felt good almost every day since starting on it. I can tell when I've had too many sweets because I feel sick to my stomach afterwards. I'm waiting on a call from the doctor hopefully tomorrow to find out what will be the permanent course of action. Yay for medicine that works. :)

Update one Me

I went in for the ultrasound last friday. Everything looked fine as well as all the tests coming back normal. The doctor wants me to stay on the acid refulx medicine, and let him know how I'm feeling in a week. Something must be working because I haven't been sick at all today, which doesn't really mean much, because tomorrow I'll probably feel yucky again.
Thanks everyone for all of your concern, hopefully we will have this all figured out soon, and we can move on with life.

I'm a Mystery

Sorry for my boring long post, and story. I need to get it all out of my head so I can relax.

Since my miscarriage back in December I've had a stomach ache basically every day. It finally got so annoying being sick every day that I went to the doctor Wednesday the 18th of February. He decided after spending maybe 5 minutes with me, and asking me hardly anything that he would test for Celiac Disease (My brother and one sister have celiac disease, and it's genetic supposedly). He also said that I should stop eating gluten until the results of the blood test came back. I came home and only stopped eating gluten for 2 days, since Chase was able to look at my test results and tell me I didn't have celiac disease. 

That Friday February 20 Chases mom came home from work and said that since I was on so many antibiotics after my miscarriage, that I may have wiped out all the good flora in my gut tract, and should try pro biotics. I'd never heard of such a thing. She insisted on taking me to the health food store and buying me some, so I agreed. If that was what was wrong I should be feeling better (whatever that is) in about a week. 

The nurse finally called on the 24th with my test results. All she said was that the results were normal and that they were referring me to a GI doctor. I couldn't understand why if my results were normal. The GI doctors nurse called to make an appointment for me to come in for a colonoscopy, which I politely turned down for now. I wasn't about to go to such great lengths when the doctor had only spent 5 minutes with me in the beginning. I decided the next day to call a new doctor, I was able to get an appointment for today March 4th. 

I went to the new doctor today, and he spent at least 30 minutes with me, he asked me tons of questions, and actually took notes. He seemed very concerned for me, and my health. Even better he actually listened to me and what I had to say. He said I was a "mystery" to him at this point, he didn't really know what to test for. He decided to do a few different tests, some through blood some through urine. An Ultrasound which I get to go do on Friday morning, and he put me on acid reflux medication for a few weeks. As soon as all the new tests come back he said he would let me know the results and meet with me again. If nothing is found from the tests we will go the GI doctor route. 

I sure hope we find something out soon, I'm sick of being sick. I want to feel normal again. Wish me luck, and the doctors the enlightenment to know what to do for me.
