Oh Michele I am so sorry for what you are going through right now.
I have come to the conclusion that 85% of the docs in the US or insensitive bastards! When ever they hear the words "IBS" they automatically think we want drugs!
Before my IBS came into full bloom, I kept having sinus heads. Since I work at a hospital. I went to the ER to make sure I did not have a sinus infection. My head was hurting so bad I could not visually see things correctly. They gave me an antiobiotic and Vicodin and released me. As I took the meds, I noticed over the next 3-4 days the pain was getting worse and I felt like death warmed over. Off I go to the ER again. This time they told me to just keep taking the meds and it would go away. After seven days of constant growing pain in the sinus tract, I went back to the ER only this time I was in so much pain I could hardly walk and demanded that they do some testing.
They put me on a gurney and placed me in the hall. This is one of the reasons I know there is a GOD. A young 1st year resident came by and saw how awful I looked and asked if he could do a spinal tap. Hell, I was already in deep almost passing out pain so why not. He drew the fluid from my spine and came back within 30 mins. with a licensed doctor and several nurse practioners.
They all crowded around my gurney and started running an IV in my arm and rushed me up to the main floor. At this point, I had just given up. Death was coming for me and I could not stop it.
I made my peace with GOD right then and decided to let go. When I awoke, I was in a hospital room filled with doctors, nurses and my family. It turned out that I had Bacterial Meningitis!
They had contacted my PCP and all I remember was him saying, "it's going to be alright you are very sick". Great thought to pass out on wouldn't you say?
I ended up in the hospital for ten days with around the clock care. They put me on Morphine 4 x per day that's how bad the pain had progressed.
When doctors first start treating actual human beings, they are very compassionate but somewhere down the road they turn in to real
assh*oles and stay that way. The Hippocratic Oath, what's that?
After my recovery, I went directly to the American Medical Association and report the doctor, nurses and the 1st year resident. They asked if I wanted to file charges against the hospital. Why would I do that, the hospital did not let me suffer; the ER doctors did. Anyway they all received letters from the AMA regarding their conduct in the ER.
The 1st year resident received an award for Compassion For a patient. I see him often here in the hospital and he has not changed; he still cares.
I did not mean to go on and on, but I can understand how you felt and must still feel. It's bad enough that we have IBS, we don't need doctors making us feel like we are "junkies" when other things happen to us.
I pray that everything goes well with you and your recovery is speedy. After all, there is a child waiting to be conceived.
