And people want to call this disease a "girly problem." "It's just your period" "Suck it up" "It's all in your head."
Look at what's happening to people! This disease has such potential to be so destructive. I feel so bad for all of you who have doctors that just let it go like this.

I'm thinking of you and sending you possitive vibes. You are amazing and strong! Keep us posted and let us know if there is anything we can do. Not sure what but we could call the hospital and demand they treat you right!

today was a better day. I'm getting strength back not walking alone yet but maybe in the morning. I can not wait to go home. Docs have not given me resilts yet of biopsy I should get those soon. I have so much to tell but I'm on my little droid now a little hard to type. Thank you all so much. I'm coming back to feeling more like me a few more days like this and I can see me going home.

Thanks for the update, hun! We miss you and can't wait until you're able to go back home, because this time it'll mean that you're actually BETTER than when you went in!

I got up alone today and walked to the bathroom:) I am going to walk the hall today and try lemon ice for breakfast. Its amazing what this bag of nutrition has done for me. Wow~ I keep hearing conflicted things the gp keeps saying blood work was fine but my obgyn is saying ummm no you came in a mess and one persons normal does not apply to everyone. At this point not worried about all that just happy to be doing good and if the nutrition bag is doing it for me then I am keeping it til I no longer need it and can eat on my own. They are going to send me home with it anyways so I don't get why the gp is saying blood work was fine. Botton line I wouldn't have the bag if I didn't need it. She had someone fill in for her on the weekend so it could just be the view of that doc and not her? I def have learned a ton thru all this. You must be ACTIVE and VERBAL to get treated and girls this sometimes means not being nice. A few curse words never hurt anyone. In the end listen to your body and no matter what a doc tells you fight for yourself. Someone will listen. If it is endo or anything else it should all be taken seriously. If all of this stuff was in our heads we would have a lot more woman in mental institutes. The docs are lazy and do not want to listen you jump thru a hoop the insurance company has put up. Reform in the US is making docs actually have to work a little harder and some don't like it too bad bc tlife is not easy for anyone docs or patients. Making the change in a positive should be the goal or this country is going to have a lot of SICK people for no reason. They just need to do their jobs as we all do.

Keri I don't want to be saying you should do this or that but I can't say I have much faith in your GP after all of this, and now she says your bloodwork is fine but clearly you're not... if it were my decision and my GP, I wouldn't stay with her after you're well enough to start taking action about this mess they left you in. So glad to hear you can start eating soon! I bet if all is well, Christmas dinner will be VERY appealing! So my fingers are crossed for that, that you can have nice normal and peaceful Christmas with your family. When do you hear about your biopsy?

Cherry I agree. She came in today a said ya you have gastritis but that not a big deal and does not explain everything. Well no but its a start. Gastritis she said does not cause bloating or any pain. The new gi doc already said it does and a quick google search shows bloating, vomitting,pain, lack of appetite all I had and the scope shos I have gastritis. She continues to down play all this and act as if there still is no reason for all of this. Its really bugging me. Treating me like its all in my head. Doc removed endo I have a gastro infection and I went 6 weeks starving and dehydrated. She left barium in me for weeks. I think her attitude is to try and cover her ass. My ob is admitting doc and she should of beeni suppose it is better for her to act like this is my fault then admitt a mistake and risk her medical career. We are not sue happy just want me better. If we wanted to file we already have a case and we have not. Seths threat to her was to get her to do something for me. Now she is pissed and wants to treat me like this. He did what any husband would seeing his wife waste away! I'm just focused on the positive now and getting better her stress won't help me right now. I choose to ignore her. She is not a gi or my admitting doc to me she is staff that's about it.

Have not got biopsy results yet. I hope that means I am fine. Gi will be in later to see me him and my ob are the docs that matter at this point and since the others lack of compassion and care I wouldn't even want to hear any news from her anyways. If it was cancer she would some how turn it on me and I don't need that right now.

way to rock the good perspective "she is staff" ha ha ha. Well she is staff, and she screwed up. God I wish it was like on Grey's Anatomy when one of them gets in trouble it drags on for weeks and weeks. ha hah ah a. wish we could watch her get her ass chewed on TV! that would be great. I'm sure you're right Keri, they probably have legal coaches at the hospital telling docs who screw up how to act affronted and miffed at their patients. Idiots! SOOOOO glad you're ok in spite of them... big smiles, you're ok! xxxooo

You are in my thoughts! Let us know what the GI says. Good luck!

She said gastritis doesn't cause pain? Seriously she doesn't deserve to be a doctor. That woman needs to go do something else with herself.
I hope the results are fine and that you can continue on living healthy. I was curious, on the lap, how did the endo look since you've had the partial hysterectomy?

Keri - thanks so much for all of the updates! I'm happy to hear you are making progress. I know it's your decision on how to handle this doctor who keeps messing up but I feel someone needs to really push the envelope and make sure they are written up and that this is documented - it would be a shame for someone else to have to deal with this doctor the way they have handled you. I also agree that they are being defensive because they know they screwed up royally. I'm with Pretty, I want to see some ass chewing on tv greys anatomy style!

Glad to hear you're making improvements, steadily and surely. You've an amazing attitude, and I think it's right to stay positive. Letting the resentment course through isn't going to help you heal, but a positive attitude will. Hugs xx
