Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | **Update** Oh it gets even better!

ARGH! So I called the ultrasound place to get an appointment. The soonest they have an appointment is Tuesday at 12:15. I made that appointment eventhough I know I am going to suffer until then.

My sister went to have my perscription for Nexium filled. It was written by the ER doctor. My insurance denied it because of the over the counter meds. I am aggrivated because I am still in pain and the pepsid was only supposed to work for 12 hours (not that it worked all that well).

I called my doctor to find out what I should do. The response was: Well the doctor you saw last night isn't in. We have to have her fill out paperwork to send to your insurance company. It will take 24 hours from the time she signs it to get the approval.

I asked, well.... what am I supposed to do in the meantime? I was told to wait and suffer. They wouldn't give me any kind of advice to do anything. So now I am livid. I nearly forgot that the doctor did give me a perscription for prevacid before i left in case I wouldn't go to the ER. My mom tried to get THAT filled and they denied THAT. My mom got me Prilosec as a recommendation from the Pharmacist.

The doctor did mention that this COULD be an ulcer. I am having a lot of ulcer symptoms as well. I am getting some pain on the left side of my stomach. I would rather have an ulcer than a bad gallbladder.

Dan just called from Shippensburg to tell me that he woke up sick. He is running a fever and everything. My mom said Dan is not allowed over because one of the things we have to watch for is a fever in me. If I get something from Dan and run a fever, we won't know what is causing it.

My mom and dad were supposed to go to Cape May to celebrate Valentine's Day but my mom decided against it. She doesn't want to leave me. I am glad to have her but I know my dad is really upset. I didn't tell my mom to stay home but she doesn't want to leave.

On the plus side, I managed to eat 6 saltines.

Thanks so much for your support guys. At least I feel like SOMEONE understands.
