I started getting pains in my chest on the left hand side two nites ago, i went to bed and thought it wud go away, but when i woke up in the morning the pain had spread down my left hand side of my abdomen. I went to see my gp and he said its just a pulled muscle but im not too sure. And now the pain has moved rite down to the very bottom of my abdomen just at the side of my hip bone. The pain keeps coming and going and when its there its a sharp and aching pain. I havent experianced this with my ibs before has anyone else? Im also getting really bad pelvic pain and back pain has anyone else had this with ibs because iv been told that this is because of my ibs.

I've been taking pain killers (they dont work) and my ibs medication but my gp has changed it again but to a smaller dose??? I dont know what he's trying to achieve by doing this. I really need to have tests doing but im too scared to ask for them. I also suffer from anxiety and depression and everytime i go to the docotrs they always ask me WELL WOT DO YOU THINK IT IS? well i if knew i wouldnt be there. Im so sick of people (my gp) thinking everything is in my head. Im really at the end of my teather at 19 years old i know i should not be feeling like this it is not normal! It is really wrecking my life i keep having time off work and my manager doesnt understand how much pain im in so she keeps having a go at me! I cant keep going on like this. can anyone help? x

OK, this isn't good. I was thinking i felt pretty good this morning. Maybe not. Must been what I had for lunch, or maybe not, anyways, I'm having this REALLY bad pain under my right rib cage, and I mean, REALLY bad.

Oooouuuuuuuu!!! ....

And my right eye kept jumping and cramping... I can even see the movements from the mirror... what the h*ck is that??? last time that happened, something unexpectedly bad happened (although not with me), and so was the time before last, and so was it since the very beginning everytime this happened... OMG, call me superstitious (sp?), and I totaly admit that I am (LOL), but that's just too much of a coincidence!! I sincerely sincerely hope and I pray that I'm (or my eyelid is) wrong this time!

LOL, what a weird combo and a weird thing to say on my blog or a blog or any blog!

Anywho, the pain's kinda dulled down a lil. whichi s a good thing, i think, i hope?

crazy day! gotta go... more work and more housework ahead. Gosh, eye, stopp this jumpy motion! And gut, stop cramping!
(now i'll stop babbling cos i feel pretty ridiculous at the moment)

---------------------------------------------------------

Mistery solved --
A friend on another site told me that the eye problem is probably spasm -- ROFL -- now my eye can be spasming, too, together with my bowels! LOL... Not really funny, though, cos the eye spasms although not painful are so so annoying!
Good thing is that my belly pain/spasm has stopped, well, at least for now -- we'll see how things go after dinner...

Well, I made it this far. I don't know how. I am very depressed right now. Have had a lot of pain these past four days. Unbearable. This will probably be the longest entry due to an overview of my conditions up until my present state.
Let me tell all the viewers a bit about myself although through out you will read more. I am a 56 yr old female living in Northern Ontario Canada, on Manitoulin Island. In 1987 i had a carbon monoxide accident from a leaking propane refrigerator which left me almost dead. I was rushed to Toronto to a hyper baric chamber. I only remember waking up there. I was in a coma for a couple days. It took me a whole year to recover from that... If I ever did really recover. Up until then I was a very healthy young woman. Athletic, having taken ballet, tap dancing, gymnastics, baton, jazz etc. when I was young. Then, my world came crashing down. The plummet started small...carpel tunnel with ulnar nerve damage. That wasn't too bad. I could handle that. Then my thyroid quit working. Well, that was alright too. A couple pills and I'll be good as new. Then, I suppose along with stess and everything my chest started acting up. Not unexpected. My father died at a young age with heart problems. But soon I needed a stint. That was scary enough. I had a bad angina attack and thought for sure i was going to be buried that week. I survived that. Then another stint. Things seemed to be fine for a while, a few years. Then came the fibromyalgia. Pain all over my body, weakness, muscle loss, and all that goes with it, including loss of sanity which slowly crept in. The fibromyalgia was not good. Along with the heart problems I couldn't do anything I used to do which was an even greater blow to my ego.
All this took place before I met my husband except the second stint. I have mixed feelings about my marriage now. My husband is the most wonderful person in my life. I wouldn't do anything to intentionally hurt him but now I have brought so much grief into his life. I am bitchy, irritable, very hard to live with since this IBS took over my life. It's only been six months or a little more with it but already I have realized that I'm not the woman he married. Lately I can't cook or clean or do any household chores etc. without pain and having to sit or lay down. Nothing gets done. Our sex life is almost non existant and thats not good because we were very active before IBS. At least four times a week. Now we are down to maybe twice a month. What am I doing to him? What am I doing to us? I snap at him all the time. Not intentionally but I am so absorbed in pain and can't focus my true feelings. He tries to understand. He tries to help but unfortunately its not helping.
Last August I was in to the doctors for a regular appointment. The previous nine or ten months I had really took an interest in improving my health. I am 5'1 and at that time weighed almost 170lbs. Way overweight. So I started watching what i was eating and started exercising as best I could. Started out small. I bought a set of hand weights and dug out an old dilapitated stationary exercise bike and way i went. At the time of this doctors appointment I weighed in at 140lbs. Good for me. I was feeling great. Better than I had in a long time. Then my doctor said my blood work was off. I told her I lost all this weight in about 9 or 10 months because of diet and exercise. She changed the dose on my thyroid pill. Lessened it. That dose of thyroid meds served my well for many years. Why would she change it now? Check something else first if you have concerns. [size="3"][/size]The next day my REAL suffering started. After eating my first meal. Bloating, sick stomach, diahrea, abdominal pain (cramps) constipation. I couldn't eat anything. Was in to the ER about 5 times that month. The pain was unbearable. Everyday. This lasted for about 6 months. I had tests done. Swallowing that horrible stuff for upper GI and then the barium enema. Everything was good. Liver etc. I was told it was probably IBS. What in God's green earth is IBS? Well, I soon found out.
The pain isn't always quite so severe now everyday but it is still almost everyday. I started keeping a diary this past February which I learned from here and the helpforibs group. I don't know what I would have done without this computer and these groups. Well, yes, I guess I would be dead. I don't know how I lasted this long. This is too much for me to handle. I have already thought many times how I can do myself in. What is there to live for if I have this to look forward to everyday. Nothing is helping. My whole life has changed (what life I have left) and my diet. I now drink soy milk, can't eat egg yolks, haven't tried any red meat yet but im almost sure it will cause problems and I'm afraid to try anything I used to eat. They say to drink a lot of water but im not a water drinker. Used to drink diet pepsi all the time but not now. Its like it eats my stomach. My meds for this don't seem to be working. I don't know if there is something that takes all the pain away. Thats all i care about. The recurring diahrea and constipation don't bother me as much as the abdominal pain and bloating and sick stomach. I can't take it any more. The pain in my gut and the bloating is making my back sore and when I'm not in pain with that, its my back or my fibro. There is no winning with this disease is there?
I have no family here except my husband. I have no friends here except a good friend in southern Ontario. I am alone. There are no groups or members around here. I am alone. I have all of you, thank God. But its not the same as someone to talk to. I can't do this much longer.
So there you have my sad story. I am thankful that I have this place with people like you who can understand what I'm going through. It helps to keep my sanity and releases some of the frustration. And Im sure there will be much more released. Please feel free to comment or leave your suggestions of help.
Till next time. Bye for now.
P.S. Have been relatively free of pain for two hours tonite. Tomorrow is another day.

My 18 year old son - he turns 18 tomorrow - has been dealing with IBS for a couple of years. It has been significantly worse this year and he has missed alot of school. He has dropped some subjects and at this point is studying from home.

Are there any other parents out there that can offer support?? We are worried about him and he has tried hypnosis and therapy. This seems to be helping somewhat along with diet changes (he is currently on the BRAT diet and introducing new foods slowly). We have another Gastro appointment in a week and so far we have ruled out Celiac Disease and Lactose Intolerance.

I am so sad that he has to go through this and I am very frustrated. I feel very guilty because sometimes I am angry with him - I know it isn't his fault. I just want him to try to get out of the house even a short time. He is working with the therapist to try to make some small steps...

I would love some feed-back - sometimes I feel lonely since I don't know anyone else who has a child with this condition.

Thank you

I've actually been in a really great mood recently -- I love the fact that the weather is (finally) warming up; I'm getting towards the end of my semester and I'm moving along in a lot of my projects. Funny how weather (for one) and accomplishing tasks really changes my mood and outlook. Even though I'm going to have to secure and internship and (after that) try and find a job, it really doesn't fill me with any anxiety. Maybe it's just because I'm not actually there yet, but honestly I find going to interviews to be a much less painful experience than (to be honest) hanging around people my own age (say, at a bar or wherever, really). I guess it's because in a job interview people actually act professionally, which I guess I don't see a ton of when I'm around people my age ...

Anyway, whatever. I'll be totally happy once I just get settled into a job. Of course I've been saying that since I was about in sixth grade, so it's no surprise I feel that way! Even not having a relationship doesn't bother me anymore; even though almost everyone I know is either in a relationship or in some kind of serious commitment. I think I've finally accepted the fact that the things that make most people happy simply don't have the same effect on me. Most people like going out and getting wasted in bars: I don't. Most people like hanging around others their own age: I don't. Most people enjoy all the feelings that go along with relationships: I don't. I've come to realize with IBS that any emotions - whether positive or negative - affect me poorly. Thus, I must try my best to remain emotionally neutral -- I've seen what happens to people after extended periods of extreme stress, and I don't want that to happen to me (again - the first time was when I started college and subsequently developed IBS).

But, of course, there always has to be something to rain on my parade. After not spitting up blood for a long time (since last year) I did so again after eating lunch today. Which of course made me think back to the fact that my throat is always kinda sore -- even when I'm not talking or doing anything that would even aggravate it. So I don't know; I heard from my last GI doctor after my endoscopy (last February) that Nexium was working great and that there weren't any erosions in my esophagus. But if that's true, then where is the blood coming from? I believe that if it happens right after I eat (almost always) then it must be in response to some aggravation going on there. And yeah, I do eat a lot of food that would aggravate GERD symptoms (for example I had kiwi and a little bit of spicy chinese food for lunch) but all that should do is trigger symptoms of heartburn -- that is, if all the erosions in my esophagus were truly healed. So I don't know what to do. I don't want to keep going back to GI doctors, especially when they keep telling me everything is fine. I've even been to a Pulmonologist who put me through a bronchoscopy (after I spit up like 15 tablespoons of blood after eating something last June -- sorry to be graphic...). But of course the bronchoscopy went fine, and so now I'm left simply wondering (as usual) just what's going on with me. I was totally prepared to accept that it's nothing, but when you see blood it does tend to worry you...

Also (oh, there's always more with me!) it turns out that I've developed some really noticable "scarlike" lesions on my chest. Now, I did have severe acne when I was younger, so I do have some residual effects from that. No biggie. But now I'm starting to get these "other" scars (well that's the best way I can describe them) that have just appeared recently. I am fair skinned, but have never spent much time in the sun... although I did tan for a couple months like six - seven years ago in response to the severe acne (only because my mom basically forced me to; I personally didn't want to because I knew of the dangers...). I highly doubt that a few months of tanning like 2-3 times a week for 12 minutes or so a time would have given me any serious skin conditions. On the other hand, I am going to see a dermatologist, because I really want to know what this stuff is (if for no other reason than simple vanity; I don't want to go walking around on the beach looking like that -- my self-esteem is already low enough as it is in regards to looks and such).

So that's the latest with me. *sigh* I really wish I could just have a stretch of my life where everything was going great. I mean, in most ways my life is right now, just not with certain health issues. Still, I'm sure there's nothing seriously wrong with me (there never is, after all, well unless you want to classify IBS/GERD as "serious" -- but I suppose in this sense I mean life-threatening). So, the best I can do right now is to just keep an eye on these things while not worrying too much about them until I get to the doctors. Hopefully after a trip there it will put my mind at ease...

Hope everyone else is having a good week!

I hate having ibs. It started to calm down alot but it just keeps getting worse. i dont no wot 2 do anymore! its wrecking my life all i want to do is sleep because thats the only thing that takes away the pain. But i know i cnt sleep all the time. its causing problems for me at work, me and my partner keep arguing because im always so angry and tired and he doesnt think i want to spend time wiv him anymore. I'm sick of constantly being in pain. The worst kinda pain i get is lower back pain and really bad pelvic pain. this gets worse about a week or two b4 my period. i feel like i cant move. i fink there my be something else wrong but my GP wont do tests. i have never had any tests. i'm jus sick of feeling like this no1 understands or no's wot im going through. im sick of people thinking its all in my head! i no its not the pain is there! so i just wanted 2 no does any1 ever get pelvic & back pain? if so do u suffer from anything other thn ibs? And what can i take for this pain. please help me x

My mom is a bit nervous about my illness and is constantly checking on me. She calls everyday. She ask my doctor to perform tests to be really sure that I had IBS. So tomorrow I'm gonna have blood tests and pee test. There's like 15 tests asked on the blood test request. She gave me antibiotics, flagil, because she said that she treated a girl who had the same symptoms as I do and it was a virus. I hope so. She's also doing tests to rule out Chron disease. I hope it's not that. I hope it's viral. I hope I won't have to do tests with camera up your butt or in your stomach or when they make you drink barium. I want it to be viral sooooo bad. I wanna eat again. Before I was diagnosed, I was cooking good recipes. I loved to cook. But now I can't cook, because I can't eat anything. I wanna cook again..

Hi, I am a college student who is cooping in about a week I will be leaving my coop and going back to school. I have experienced everything from Diarrhea, Constipation, and Constant gas. I do not know what else to do. I have seen a doctor (GI) who has diagnosed me with IBS. No specific kind just IBS. I do not know which one some days I will not go to the bathroom at all and then somedays I will go every half hour. The hardest part about all of this is that I do not know what to do as far as school. I do not know whether I should stay in school or whether I should just drop out. This is a very serious issue because sometimes my attacks are so bad that people will not even stand around me. I need to figure out what to do with my school. I know some people here on this site are going to school and some are not. However I do not even know what to eat anymore. I would like to know what you guys think about my situation because every time I try to explain it to someone who does not have IBS, its like talking to a Brick wall.

Sorry this message was not more organized.

Thanks for reading.

Still tired and sleepy, but feeling much better today!

Hopefully the good days will stay for a longer while this time. I'll try not to screw up and try to stick with my safe food and de-stress before stress getting the better of me... Well on the other issue, can't fight against my monthly cycles...

Any rate, off to grocery shopping this aft. ... weekends are busier than weekdays in some ways...

And ugh, work, my freelance isn't going well. I swear to myself that after this book I'll take a long and nice break!

Have a good weekend, everyone.

I should be thankful this blog exists, so I can keep track of how disruptive my life can be, what I can eat and what not, and maybe how angry a person I am.

After the pain episode last week, this week my period came. It is hurting as usual. I am still overdosing myself on advil, as usual. My doctor prescribe me another pain killer for my menstrual pain called anaprox. It didn't work and hurt my stomach badly, so I am back to advil. Advil still hurts my stomach, but not as much as anaprox does.

I was doing a self-assessment on what I like and dislike, like an I building my business just because of money or it is in fact my passion so it will last. One question was "what would my best friends say I am best at". I asked my hubby, his answered, "getting angry". He said it in a joking kind of way but of course he wasn't really joking. I asked my best friend, he said I am best at stressing out! I have a few buddies from my previous job on facebook and while everybody left Toronto to pursue other opportunities, we still keep in touch. One of my buddy, who is already in his 50s, he has ulcerative colitis since his late twenties. I asked him how did you cope with life, work, especially our previous job. It was a very stressful job, we need to travel a lot. Every monday morning we got up at 4am to catch the flight to somewhere, and we work 12-16 hours day, and try to catch the flight back home on friday night. Everything was always in a rush, everything is important and involve millions of dollars, and working with very difficult bosses. He responded to me, said that he remembers I always try to do the best job I can, and takes it to heart. Well... I guess he meant I get angry a lot. How can I not be? I need to take care of everything, pay mortgage for my parents, myself, my husband, my dog, make sure I put food in everyone's table, with parents constantly belittling me. Why do they think just because I am not a doctor or a lawyer I am nobody?! Plus working in an all men environment and I am the only woman is not funny.

Every three weeks I am in pain, since I was eleven I have always have pain period. Now in between I have episodes. Nobody seems to understand the pain I go thru, as if I am exaggerating. I am tired, very tired.

Bam there it is again. I hate IBS-D so much. I can go a few days without a problem then when I think its better it hits once again and I have it for the next few days. I try different foods, ill eat the same food one day and it doesnt bother me. Then the next time I eat it it does. This is confusing and no medicine is helping. I have no job because of this, and dating is pretty much impossible. I just wish it would disappear along with the horrible stomach pains. Anyone have any advice on what to do to get better?

I am a first time IBS sufferer and I cannot tell u how bad the last year has been. Afraid to go anywhere, calling into work because u cannot get off the toilet. Please tell me do any of u have good days? Because no matter what I eat I get sick.

Hi. .I have had IBS-D for 9 years, the last 3 years realy bad and the last 3 months constantly. I have had two lots of endoscopies and gastroscopies, blood tests, nothing shows as wrong. I have taken amitriptyline, Questran powders, meveberine, of which nothing works, i live on 3-4 Immodium tablets most days. I cant go anywhere or do anything unless i take the immodium. I take a change of underwear and wipes with me when i have to go out. I have now put myself on a lactose free diet to see if that helps. I write down everything i eat and when i open my bowels and what its like. My stomach gurgles and is full of wind, it seems worse in the mornings. My bottom always seems irritated and feels like i want to open my bowels all the time. My stomach feels sore inside and very uncomfortable. It doesnt seem to matter what i eat, as i can eat something one day and it will play me up and eat the same another day and i will be ok.

Specialist isnt very helpful, just says there is nothing wrong with my tests and to stop getting stressed, that is easier said than done. My doctor is trying to help, but as yet nothing has realy helped.

I used to work, as a toilet was very accessable, but had a lot of time off.I am not working at the moment as i have depression and anxiety, doctor thinks brought on by the irritable bowel and other problems. I start cognitive behaviour therapy tomorrow (Thursday 12th March). I really am struggling to cope with my IBS-D and how it makes me feel, I hate how it affects my life. I wish there was a cure.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
I've finally had it!!! I've never been so frustrated as now!! *Cries & screams*
Is it so wrong that a girl just want some stupid sleep???
I went to bed early tonight (oh, wait, it was last night, as it's already 4:15 a.m. now!!), thinking that I could use a lil more sleep. Can I have my wish? NO! My tummy had to be in this extreme pain and I had to keep running to the stupid restroom for 5 hrs! I wasn't sure if it was my period or my IBS or both, whatever, i just couldn't sleep b/c i just couldn't!! And then it was almost 3 when i finally was able to stay in the stupid dumb bed! and only to wake up now with this horrible migraine (sp?). and my whole body is feverish!! who said it was going to be cold tonight? it doesn't feel cold to me! o r maybe it's just me??? I don't know. I'm just sooo ... ugh! I;m so dry and heated up that i cried but couldn't produce any tear! What the h*ll...???
I am sooooo tired and SOOOOOOOOO upset!! I dont remember being so upset in my whole entire life!
and the migraine hurts so bad!!!
Sigh, now what do i do? i can't sleep. i can't stop being in pain. and i can't stop feeling SO mad at my own body!!
I hate it, i hate it, i hate it! This really really really sucks!!

OK, now i get it, everything goes in cycles for me, not just my period, lol. So is my IBS, although the IBS cycle isn't that regular... Duh... Anyways, when these 2 cycles meet each other, it's bad! ...

I've been feeling bad already for a couple day and my period's a bit late (which doesn't help), so bloated and everything, and nothing felt right -- so I was wondering what went wrong with me... And last night I got the answer! And what was wrong with me was that that was called PMS! I've never had it that bad before, I felt so feverish/nauseated and my ab was so painful that I thought I was coming down with something horrible, LOL. There was nothing funny about it, though -- I wasn't able to sleep much last night, either, although the dreaded period has finally come... And today I've been rushing to the restroom with D for so many times that I don't remember how many times anymore...

It just seems that the period pain sets off the IBS and the pain in my gut and then the gut pain also makes the period pain worse... I have to admit that the pressure points in the hands did help, or I would be rolling on the floor right now instead of being able to sit here and type up all my ramblings on here, lol... but still, it's been like, feeling so yucky, ugh... And I'm so so so tired, like my energy level is below zero and i can barely keep my eyes open...

Sigh... sorry everyone for the absence and for not able to comment on your blogs etc...
Hope you are all feeling okay...

Hi, I am new to this. My 13-year old son has IBS. He is miserable and in pain all the time. I have had him to specialists which ran a ton of tests......scans.....scopes. We have tried different diets.......track what seems to bother him but nothing right now is giving him any relief. He lives on clear liquids to see if that helps and now even that hurts him. This is interfering with his school attendance. His specialist doesn't have anything else to suggest to me except make him stay in school no matter how much pain he is in and take him to a psychologist. I am really so frustrated and feel so helpless cause I can't seem to help him. Any suggestions please would really be appreciated.

Hello I know how you feel. Almost every time after eating my belly used to hurt and i felt (and was) bloated. but after reading an article about stress, intestinal permeability and the mast cells (those cells belong to the immune system and may induce inflammation in the intestines) i have tried ketotifen and it helps me. i think we may have some kind of abnormal immune response to foods - ketotifen is an anti-allergic that "cools down" the immune system and also inhibits abnormal motor responses:
http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/cgi/content/full/319/3/1104 . It helps me a lot with the pain and also with the diarrhea (i have ibs-d although it is not so severe as some people here have... fortunately). i am more relaxed now, my belly doesn't hurt as it did before after i ate (almost not at all now), my stools are more solid and i don't go to the bathroom as often as i did before. i'm not taking any kind of probiotic right now, sometimes i'm taking trimebutine (when i'm overly stressed). here is the link to the article i was talking about, at the British Medical Journal:
http://gut.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/48/5/630. I think people shoud try ketotifen ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketotifen ), it is a safe drug with little adverse effects. Talk to your doctor and maybe he or she will give you a prescription.
(PS this i wrote to Jeni. also, i want to say that i eat almost anything: wheat, milk, soy, burgers, etc)

Saturday I went to the grocery store. My grocery bill keeps getting smaller since I can't eat anything! There's wheat in everything and lactose too. When I finally find something to eat that hasn't any wheat, meat or lactose in it, IT'S TASTELESS.
I got this mango sorbet without lactose, gluten or fat. Well, it taste like smooth ice with a vague taste of mango. And don't get me started about tofu. Tofu dog, tofu burger, tofu everything taste like cr*p even if it's mixed with something else. My body hates me. I always ate everything I wanted, junk food, deserts, munchies, booze. And one day, without notice nor a few symptoms, POW! Ibs comes in. My body start to be so picky that buying food is a nightmare. My boyfriend is complaining that we can't have sex or go to the restaurant. I don't return calls. I watch movies on my couch and go to work. That's about it.
I mean, food is the essence of life ! You can't survive if you don't eat. It's not luxury to eat. How can a body refuse to digest and assimilate something that will get it healthier and stronger ?! If I ever get married, what will I eat at my wedding ? Carrots?
What will I eat on christmas day? celery ? Stupid gut

I was in soooo much pain last night, I ended up in ER again. Waited from about 12am to 7am in the morning finally a doctor came see me. Don't think canadian health care is any good. It's been await since a severe episode like this happen. I had dinner, felt full (which is generally not a good thing), and start having cold sweat and abdomenal pain. Since 8pm the pain started, it gradually gotten worse to the point that I have cold sweat, severe pain I screamed, it subside for about 5 mins and I have hot flash, severe sweating, and then it start again. At 12am in the morning I couldn't handle the pain anymore I told my hubby to call the ambulance. I vomit my whole dinner too. I also took some tynenol 3 which was leftover from my dentist, no effect at all.

Well, I guess it took the ER 7 hours to find out that my blood test are normal. All I got from the doctor was that I have bladder infection. And the pain situation, he suggested it "maybe" IBS, because it is non-life threaten so I have to work it out with my doctor! Nobody cares. I cannot believe they did not give me any pain medication, nothing.

I was extremely upset. It is torture. So the doctor was saying, go have pain, since you are not dying you are ok. Sounds like a psycho or militant torture, they will enforce great pain, but keep you alive, you cannot die. Well, that's how I felt. Feel that there is just no way out, no doctor is going to it seriously enough to work with me quickly to find a solution on controling my pain!

It's sunday today, I just wasted my whole weekend. This pain situation has to be manage somehow, if ended up I need to find my way to some drugs to ease my pain I will. I have too, I cannot live like this anymore. I am going to do a whole lot of research, print them all out and see all my doctors, and force them to find a solution for me NOW. I have been on different tests for a year now, these tests should be more than sufficient to determine what is wrong with me! No more ultrasound MRI and CT for me already!

It is very frustrating, it wasted my hubby his weekend too It doesn`t just affect my life, it affect everybody around me, even my dog! Don`t this stupid doctors understand!? Probably now, all these young doctors working in the ER now kind of make me sick. They all have this arragant attitude that I cannot stand.
