I've been pretending I'm not sick

[TruBlu]

But it isn't really working.

I've been having undiagnosed problems for a year and 4 months now. Over the last few months, I've tried to pretend that I'm feeling better. I was doing OK until two weeks ago. I had another of my "episodes" (they are very similar to pancreatitis) and had to call 911. DS6 was terrified, but I was so sick I couldn't comfort him. It was just awful.

Last Thursday I had a MRCP. Now I am waiting for the results. I was very scared to have this test. They did it at night, so I drove to the hospital alone in the dark with it sleeting - crying all the way. I have a follow-up this Thursday. Please send some prayers and pixie dust my way. They were looking for some type of biliary obstruction, but I'm praying that the scan will be clear.

Here's hoping you have a clear scan. Prayers on the way for you.

Don't get discouraged. My niece was having all kinds of problems starting in August 2007. The ped kept telling her that she had acid reflux. Nothing helped. She ended up in the ER four times between August and December. Then they basically told her the same thing because they couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. They said it was all in her head. She fainted a couple a times, but they kept insisting it was in her head. In the mean-time she went to see a gastro-enterologist (sp). He ran all kinds of tests on her. Everything was negative. Finally he had a thought that it might be chronic appendicitis. He ran some tests and BINGO. That's what it was. He said it is pretty rare, and very hard to diagnose. She had surgery three days before Christmas. She has been right as rain ever since. I hope that you get a diagnosis and are well soon.

I hope you get good results!

I got GREAT results today!!! Nothing abnormal on my MRCP!!!
My doc thinks she has finally figured out my problem. Spinchter of Oddi Dysfunction. It is hard to treat, but NOT life threatening. I'm good with that!

She wants me to have an ERCP next, but I am putting that off as long as I can.

Thanks for all the good wishes!
