Frightened

Getting goosebumps Nicolette, so glad that things are happening quickly. Like Amethist said, this will be over in no time and you'll be in even a better form than before. You're very important to us.

By Christmas this will be all done and finished with Nicolette.

Great news Amethist but patience isn't my biggest virtue........do I have to wait until Christmas :whistling:?? I mean isn't there some magic oil potion I can use to speed this up as the universe combined with the forum is doing pretty good now but I feel like a kid in the back seat of the car screaming "when are we going to get there?". :roflmao::p

I have heard of a "Laying on of the hands"! But, this being a PTSD Forum, I bet there would be finger fractures as a result of any attempt!

I feel like a kid in the back seat of the car screaming "when are we going to get there?".

I'm sure a lot of us can relate to that quote, whether it's about physical health, or otherwise.

I'll be praying for you.

LOL no majic potion for this Nicolette.

When I said by Christmas, this does not mean it will take that long, but you will be all done and looking back at it all by Christmas.

(((Nicolette))) You are in my prayers and thoughts!

(((Nicolette))) I think my morning here is your tonight there :rolleyes:. I do hope your appointment was a help and you are starting to get some answers.

Just really to say, you are in my thoughts

 

[Nicolette]

Thanks KP :)

Ok....update as it stands............

Firstly I will say it pays to know people and it helps that I currently work for some very well respected specialists who have been able to get me into appointments quicker. Example being I have to have an endometriosis ultrasound before the gynaecologist can move forward and I was given a date of the 25th August as I have to see a professional who is highly regarded and hence hard to get into see. I then explained my situation and was given another number for her other office and was offered an appointment on 5th August. I then 'name dropped' who I work for and I now have an appointment next Tuesday now... :D:tup:. This has been going on for 4 years now and I am getting sick quicker and don't have time on my side so I pulled in the support from the people I work for.

The outcome of the appointment today is I have an obstruction at the top of my right kidney which needs urgent attention as, while my left one is abnormal, it is still functioning normally but the pain is increasing on that side due to it having to work harder.

In terms of endometriosis the speculation is I have it through the pelvic region, in the uterus and possibly on the outer wall of my uterus and it is possibly what is on my kidney.

Finally, for the first time in 4 years I don't feel like a nut job and someone highly respected in his field sat up and listened and AGREED!!! I have been telling them for years I think it was endometriosis and they just kept feeding me antibiotics with no infection which made no sense to me.

The gynaecologist wants to hear what the Urologist says tomorrow and it seems likely he will be the first to perform surgery. Apparently you can't get to the kidneys well with a laparoscopy so they may have to go in from the bottom up to the kidneys to see what the obstruction is. By then I should have the results from the ultrasound.

Another thing mentioned is due to my sister having a history of endometriosis it is not something they can ignore now as it is proven to have link between sisters. Hallelujah! The gynecologist didn't want to plant seeds but due to the weirdness of what is happening and where I he said I may have some rare condition but lets not worry about that yet...... :eek:

Gotta go.... update tomorrow following next appointment.

Glad to hear you are now getting answers to everything Nicolette.

Which ever way this now goes, you are going to be well looked after. The steps they are now taking, will lead to all this being dealt with how it should have been in the beginning.

They will not let this go now Nicolette, you have lots of appointments and discomfort to go through, but it will turn out well in the end.

Get plenty of rest now and designate anything you can now to others.

Amethist.

I'm so glad to hear that you are finally getting some answers. I'm thinking of you both.

 

[Snuggy]

I'm sorry to hear of all your pain and suffering with this Nicolette. I am happy for you though, that you are finally getting someone to believe what you have known about yourself all this time, though sad that this is what it took to get them to listen. My heart goes out to you, and I wish you a fast and easy recovery.

(((Nicolette))) at last some answers, ok still questions to be answered and then more questions but specialists are now listening to you (I hope that sentence makes sense to you).

It sounds as if it may be longish with surgeries, but for me it is easier knowing what I am up against, I hope you find the same.

I'll light a candle for you. I'm going away for a couple of days so will not be around but you will be in my thoughts.
Take care
Love
