And I do think I'm a pretty severe case when the pain is 24/7 and I'm really losing it emotionally because of the chronic pain and frustration over lack of treatment or even getting a correct diagnosis.
I am going to call the GI doc and get on a cancellation waiting list if they have one. Hopefully others haven't asked for the same thing or that list will be just as long!
Also, will be brave and call my OB/gynie (yes, that is a gynocologist, I guess it's an american abbreviation?) and explain the situation. I just have have a hard time asking people to do things for me.
But I was thinking, even if I wait the 6 1/2 months to see him, he's not going to do anything then anyhow. So, it will be an even longer wait for him to look over my charts and schedule any tests and come up with any conclusions. Now I'm really depressed. I just want someone to help me NOW. I need some answers now! Not all this red tape and messing around. Okay I feel better for venting, but so frustrated because I have no control over this situation.
PS. I admire you for calling and asking for what you needed. You are a priority case and I'm glad you are going to get the help you need!
