Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Went to the ER this morning....

Well.....
I started having more blood in my urine (looked like cranberry juice) so I got scared and went to the ER this morning and found out that it is actually a small kidney stone, but also a cyst on or near my ovary and possibly an inflamed bladder wall. Joy! Joy! I had to have a CT scan which is how they found the cyst and the stone. Last time I had a stone they saw the same cyst and say now that it is a bit larger. When my GYN checked me out last time this occured, he couldn't detect the cyst, so he concluded that it was probably one that comes and goes with monthly cycles. Well, they did a pelvic at the ER, too and they couldn't feel it either even though it showed up on the CT. So they think it is probably in an area behind the ovary and out of reach of the pelvic exam. So....now I have to go see a urologist...earliest they could get me in is this Friday. My GYN wants to let the kidney/bladder stuff calm down before he rechecks the ovary...so I have an ultrasound on it in a month. So, with all this stuff going on and the small argument my husband and I had this morning before he left for work and I decided to go to the ER. I've decided to go back on Zoloft for a bit so I can handle some of these stressful times. My husband doesn't want me to go back on it, but I feel I need it...so I'm doing what I feel is best for me. He want's me to stick with the acupuncture and see if it will work, but right now I need something a bit more immediate. I can still continue with the acupuncture.
So that's a bit of an update....
