Into the fighting ring.

Years ago I was home sick for about 6 months to a year. I couldn't walk, I was bed ridden basically, every time I ate I would get dead tired and wouldn't be able to get up from the table. I had to be carried back to bed at times. I often had lacerating stomach pain or back pain to the point that I couldn't walk. The problems never seemed to end and no one could find a reason. I was taken to hospital prodded and poked, and they gave me all sorts of different things to try including cortisone. I was told I had an A-typical pneumonia. Then I went to see a rheumatologist and he finally diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia.

When I kept having stomach pain I had an ultrasound and they found kidney stones and so my questions were apparently answered.

A few weeks ago a friend of mine here was also diagnosed with Fibro and she mentioned that intestinal problems and inflammation of the intestines is one of the fibro symptoms. This means that it might not just be a kidney stone thing.

Maybe it's a combination of things but whatever it is... it's back. I was up all night Sunday wanting to call the emergency service here with crazy tummy pain, up again last night. I think I'm going to have to get back on track with trying to figure things out. I called my doctor, she thinks it's my appendix since it's only on my right side, and is also a pain that that tends to reduce a bit when I'm standing or sitting, hence the idea it might be the appendix.

Anyhooooos I'm on a liquid diet which means I'll loose weight that I can't really afford to loose. And it means I'll be hungry and on edge, not just for food either... there certainly isn't a lot of play going on either.
