For the past two 1/2 weeks I have been very ill, lost more weight, went to my doctor, and of course I had to finally yell at him and tell him that if they couldn't find some way to help me, then I was going to find a new doc, of course he right away wanted to me to take yet another anti-depressent, and suggested that I speak to someone, because IBS is mostly all in your head! Gave me script for Elavel, and told me to continue to take the Prozac! I took one of the Elavel at bedtime,it made me sleep most of the next day as well, so I stopped taking that! Went to the GI doc on Wednesday, he too suggested that I need to speak with someone to help me control my stress, but set up a upper-endoscopy for me the following day, and was very, very rude. He found in the endoscopy that I have duednialitis, and an ulcler, along with the IBS that I have had since childhood, and gave me script for Nexium, still had script for Protonix, so insurence wouldn't fill Nexium, (same results). So I make an appt with a therapist, who says, yeah you got some stress, and we will work on that, go back to my doc, who says that IBS is no reason to stay off work, so they are sending me back on Monday! I don't wish my condition an anyone, but I would like to know what one of them so called doctors would do if they had to ever deal with one day of a fraction of the symptoms so many of us suffer with daily! Oh, yeah, forgot, I have to go for a upper GI/small bowel series on Thursday, but this is all in my head!
Back to the search for a new doctor!!!!
Sorry so long, needed to vent! Thanks
