From Huskies To Husbands

Or do I just seem to fall through the cracks more than most people?

I spoke to the doctors office today.  The nurse told me to be patient that it is going to take time and not to expect my previous CT scans to be delivered and reviewed for another week.  She also was adament that the doctor was not going to do anything further until those previous scans were recieved and reviewed.  No, it didn’t matter that I was in pain and suffering; I just need to do the best I can and call back if I need more pain medication.  I mentioned that the pain medication was not helping and just making me loopy yet still in pain and she said that if that continued I could call back and they would see what else they could do for pain medication.

This all seems so sureal.  Yes, I have had more than my share of medical issues.  I have a laundry list of medical conditions including PCOS, IBS, PMDD, GERD, asthma, allergies, milk/dairy intolerance, and more.  I also have family history of an even longer list of things which medically we are “keeping an eye on”.  I do understand that sometimes I am very hard to diagnose as my symptoms do not usually follow the typical patterns.  However, to me it is insane when a 34 year old women just suddenly begins to have excruciating and debilitating pain but is just told to wait and deal with it.  Shouldn’t we be doing other testing?  Really all they have done at this point is the CT scan and check my urine for bacteria.  Shouldn’t we be looking at blood work or something?  I am just so frustrated!!  Plus with living where we do it isn’t like I have a huge set of options as far as doctors and hospitals are concerned to just say fine I will go somewhere else.

Frustrated in Wyoming is an understatement…
