UPDATE

So all my test restults came back normal. Oh Joy. I'm perfectly healthy except that I can't eat and I vomit almost every morning and sometimes at night. Now the doctor wants me to try a medicine for acid reflux. So we'll see if that helps. I am now down to 128lbs. When I do feel hungry I try to eat as much as I can, which isn't much. I asked the doctor if I could have a colonoscopy because polyps run in the family. She wasn't very on board with that saying that polyps wouldn't cause those kinds of symptoms. Yeah, maybe in most people, but couldn't it just be possible that it might in me? I also asked if I could have a pap done. She said, sure but not right now. So I'm thinking it is time to try another doctor or she could just wait until I'm so emaciated and dehydrated that THEN she could treat me for that and feel like she did something to help. DOCTORS! Love them, but could you please think outside the box sometimes? TO BE CONTINUED......

Wanna Play Doctor?

So for the last few months, I have been waking up every morning sick to my stomach. I have been fatigued, bruising easily, light headed, and now the nausea has gotten so bad that I haven't been able to eat more than 500 calories a day. Also, my periods have been wonky over the last couple years, but last month I had a period every two weeks. Sorry to get graphic here, but the periods are VERY clotty, too. At first I thought I might be pregnant and even took a few pregnancy tests, but no, and thank goodness because how would I explain THAT one to my hubby that got snipped... It isn't low iron; I take vitamins every day including extra iron. I went to the doctor thinking it was mono back in July, but tested negative. The nausea continued so I went back last week and the doctor did an ultrasound and they found a cyst on my ovary. They said it is common and not to worry, but with the periods being weird for over a year I wonder how long it has been there? I thought the weird periods were because of the IUD which is when Rob got snipped so I could take it out, but no IUD and even weirder periods. Is this TMI? I just don't have any faith in doctors. They make educated guesses and prescribe medicine to help the symptoms, but not get to the problem. In fact the doctor I saw gave me a prescrip for an anti-nausea medicine that isn't working. They did some blood tests and so forth and I haven't heard back at all even though I called to get the results. So here I sit, sick to my stomach and wanting to die because it is no fun feeling like you have the flu for over two months. My body is weak from lack of eating and I've lost a lot of weight. Good times. One other thing. I have been sweating pretty badly from my armpits even though I am cold most of the time. It is very weird. So any ideas? I thought it would be fun to take you along on this fun little journey to see "What is wrong with Kris Tolman,", and let's not get analytical about what is wrong with me mentally. Only physically. Let's cross our fingers and hope it is something NOT serious. Plus I just have this thing that if you tell someone you are dying, it usually turns out to be nothing because fate likes to prove you wrong. :) Update coming soon, but I would like to hear your thoughts....
