Back from the GP.
He's ordered a scan and wants me to have it quickly as he's not happy that I'm having gallbladder problems as in his words "You're not 40 yet" The bowel issue, he was not too concerned about as I explained to him, I had been experiencing the joys of (hhmmm hmmm, clear throat, still can't say it at tea time) for some time now and it wasn't an issue and I wasn't in pain as I had hardly any sensation there. He's told me what I can do and there are options if I choose to go down that path. The gallbladder is the first thing to deal with and I need to get the scan out of the way and make sure it is just gallstones as I don't want any other problems in my life. I'm sure it is nothing else as I feel fine in general - All things considered that is.
On the total other hand, I've got my glucosomine on prescription but my GP cannot work out how it helps me as I do not have Athritis? I told him I was writing a website all about chronic pain and I would let him know when I had any creditable info other than my own knowledge that it WORKS!
About Me
- Wiglet
- Wo said life was easy? I have a hulking great pain monster jumping up and down on my back every morning. Once zapped with strong vodka he's a pussycat. In brief, read on further for info, I have a spinal condition which leaves me in severe pain. I am a wife, mother and school governor too. I love my life, detest the pain monster! Medical bit. Check on links for further info. I have Spina Bifida Occulta. It is genetic and I was born with it. I also have Tethered Cord Syndrome, again genetic, again I was born with it. I have had 2 spinal surgeries and now have a mass of nerve damage causing a mass of nerve pain. I possibly have CRPS but no definite diagnosis. Was diagnosed with hypothyroidism late 2006 and IBS in 2007. Also have damage to my bladder and bowel because of the abnormal spinal cord and nerves. The last diagnosis is 'Chronic Pain Syndrome'. That one covers a multitude of sins. The winter months have been hard and I wonder if I am deteriorating again? Kinda scary so my blog becomes my best friend. I take a lot of medication and so have become a hobbling encyclopaedia of knowledge on the subject.
