Perhaps.... you could keep insisting? and they would listen? Or you could shove the results up their... noses? Its maddening to know that you are in that kind of pain. I HEARD it in your voice the other night... on your way in to your pcp office.. eat something.. let him see THAT Carrie.. cuz.. girl you werent well! But what if it is something else? argh..

Carrie so frustrated for you. Was hoping that you were starting to feel better or your doctor would be able to get to the bottom of this. Constant pain has got to mean there is still a problem so they still need to keep following up on this.

Keep at it Carrie!!!!! Hope you feel better enough to have a wonderful Easter weekend with your family.

Poor Carrie - I know the feeling! That's why it took three weeks for them to pull mine OUT, because the first doctors I saw in the emergency room said that one tiny stone, which is all that showed up, couldn't be causing that kind of pain. Took another trip to the ER (8 hours in the waiting room before even getting to see a doc) in St. Louis before they would take it seriously. Then another week after that before they actually did the surgery.

I was so nuts that I was actually grateful when the pain came back a few hours after eating breakfast each day. Meant it wasn't all in my head. Hoping you get some good news from the doc today, honey.

*grumbles*... they cant find anything in her gallbladder.. are thinking other stuff perhaps. She is staying on top of things with her doc.. but they dont move quick enough up there for my liking! She has much more patience than I do. HOPEFULLY... its something they can fix.. it sucks hearing that much pain in anyones voice..

Anyway.. she will post I am sure when she knows more.. but I just wanted to say that yep.. shes alive.. I wouldnt say she is well.. and she IS staying on top of things with docs... Im trying to show her how to cop a NY attitude lol..

hi everyone, wow i love you all too, so much support you guys give me and so appreciated, thank you

i dont have much time, i am at work and thought i would try to post a little bit of an update......i started a new position on top of the one i am currently in so things are absolutely new and crazy for me

as for the doc, saw him thursday before i left town

said nothing showed up in the ultrasound, but that does not mean all is okay, uh duh obviously this kind of pain means something, and its been for two months now, not since surgery so something is up or has changed, anyway he is doing a CT scan
