I didn't know where to post this at, most likely the wrong place. I been almost living at the doctors office. All kinds of test. Dr Hannagan said I have IBS, because all my test keep coming back normal. and C and D both, pain. It started in Thailand. Had a cat scan yesterday and I have a cyst on my ovary, I don't know if that is bad or what...but my last peroid was so horrible I had to stay in bed, never happened before. My urine came back crazy as always. CBC all normal. Ultrasounds, didn't see any gall stones. Dr. Timmons thinks I might have Tropical Sprue??? I think that is what he thinks I have. Dr. Timmons is referralling me to a GL(sp?) for next month, but almost two hours away from me, I hope I can handle it. Maybe I will find out if I have IBS for sure. I wish I felt better, but since it's been four months now..if it was an inbalance it should of fixed it's self by now right?? Less if I have tropical sprue I just have to take a med for a year. and Fiber tasted horrible..eatting it with every meal :S. okay I did some ventting..so now I won't cry as much. and I was almost in three car accidents..because I had to fast so I couldn't eat and they took so more blood from me...so I didn't see things right..it was totally scary..I love everyone

Take care of yourself, sweetie. Is there anyone who can do the driving for you when you go to see the new doctor? I just looked up what a Sprue is in my dictionary. I had never heard of it. Hope you are able to get the meds that will take care of it. :kissing:

Hey hon. I'm sorry things are so crappy for you right now. I wish there was something I could do. Couldn't one of your friends from school take you to this appointment? Explain to them what's going on and I bet someone would be willing to help you.

If you want to talk, you know how to instant message me. Sorry I haven't been available much lately. I've been going through my own health problems and surgeries and so much pain.

Hang in there....it's gotta get better, right? :angel: Sending you an angel to watch over you.
