I went home and napped on the couch all afternoon. I got a good nights sleep, thanks to a handful of pills . I'm at work and trying to nibble some low fat graham crackers. The pain is constant, doesn't seem to matter what I do or don't eat. The percocet helps everything else but doesn't help the pain in my chest or wherever they want to call it.
I'm going to keep my appt with the gi guy next Wednesday and I will ask about doing both scopes at the same time. AS much as I hate the thought of the prep, I might as well get it over with. After that though, I'm done. If they don't find an answer, I'm just going to take a break from doctors. I'll keep my follow up with the rheumy in October because the humira IS helping my joint pain but otherwise, I need a break. I'm tired of being poked and prodded and hearing we don't know.
I figure one of two things will happen, if its an ulcer or gastritis or whatever, it'll heal up on its own in time. I'll keep taking the reflux meds but otherwise there isn't anything they can do for those conditions anyways. The other thing that could happen would be whatever IT is will get way worse and then there won't be a doubt as to whats wrong and we can cut right to the answer. But I've had almost 3 years of medical issues and I'm just DONE. I need a break. I'll give it 3-6 months and see how things are then. If nothing has improved, than I'll consider the expense of something like the Mayo clinic.
Thanks for everyones continued support. I'm sure you are all tired of my medical drama but I do appriciate being able to come here and vent and get such wonderful support. Love and hugs to all!
