Hey all,
Just feeling overweamled by the overlapping of symptoms and amount of different things that can go wrong with AS. Now there is a possibility of a hithatel hernia and sjogrens.
I am having a WHERE DOES IT END MOMENT?????
(They really need a screaming meme graemlin)
I also feel like a hypocondriac if I tell the doctor about a symptom and it is pooh pah'd, after told to tell them if there are any noticable changes. Usually the doctor will then say, "By that I meant you liver has to be swollen ten times its normal size! We can bring it back from there; we just don't want it to get to eleven times." Or, "Oh it must not hurt that bad, you didn't scream."
Don't they know its hard enough to speak up in the first place? I wanted to pull the mustache wiskers out of the face of the last doctor to whom I talked. He's the one who considered acceptable pain limits anything that doesn't make you scream.
Then there is the secret society rule to which all doctors seem to adhere. You know the one I'm talking about! Where they ask you whats new, and when you tell them symptomologies, things you only mention because you are worried about them, they look at or feel the problem area... then never mention it or act like its fine, or tells you to do something totally weird to get rid of it. "Oh you have blood, puss and little green aliens coming out of your bellybutton?" Doctor looks at it. "Hmmmm, jab yourself in the eye every morning for the next week and that should clear it right up!" *
Sorry all, I am just feeling SO MAD!!! Now I know WHY David Banner turned into the HULK when angry. Anytime I bump my (insert body part here) while having a flair, I actually can see myself doing that!
And I am really hating the word "syndrome" Wasn't there a movie called the china symdrome about a nuclear plant meltdown???? Did my body watch the movie and get jelous???
Thanks for the rant! Needed that
Hugs and Chocolate!
