mini screech

[cherry]

Off to see my doc and find out how bad this infection is. Hope the u/s doesn't reveal any permanent damage
My GP diagnosed an infection of the tubes. Gaaaah. 6 weeks of suffering. He put me on antibiotics straight off, they're so nasty, the ones that dissolve a little in your mouth so you have that bitter taste that you have to wash out. They make me feel sick, and as expected I'm pain still, for the moment
But this is a mini-screech. Got nothing to truly cry about.
Anyone else wanna post a mini screech about peevy crap here?
Not looking forward to having HR deliberate about whether my time off was justified. I shoulda offered to come in and cry, sleep and vomit on my desk. Hehe

Best of luck at your appointment!

Yay for an appointment! Hope it turns out ok....

I'll go on a mini-rant for a second. I've been trying to keep quiet about it and not bitch too much, but I've just gotten to the point where I have to. I'm two months post-op. Month one was awesome. Thought I was cured, had the easiest period I've had in years. Sex didn't hurt anymore, had my energy back, and had the general sense that I had my life back. Now we're on month two. Started having some of those all-to-familiar pains again at the start of my cycle but brushed them off, no biggie. Maybe I was just hitting a bump in the road. I was wrong...the pain is back and it's quite different from before. I suspect I've developed some pretty serious adhesions from the surgery. Thing is, I had so much work done on my bowels and bladder, I just don't see how there's anyway I could've avoided it. I think the endo's at bay for now, but the pulling, bloated, heavy, intense pains are back. It just sucks. I feel like I'm right back to where I was...surviving on pain killers just to make it through the day. I've done a good job of keeping my head up and pushing through it, but it's truly got me down again. I just really had higher hopes this go around being that I went to one of the best places in the country. But I guess it is what it is. This is a chronic disease and a vicious cycle, I just hope I can keep positive about it all.
Ok, mini screech over.

Cherry, let us know what happened ASAP!

My doc hadn't had my swabs back but my white cell count came back ok so doc says it indicates that the infection hasn't spread. He was being weird about Michael Jackson's death, like he thinks I will overdose on tiny doses of morphine and then said he wouldn't feel comfortable giving me anti depressants when he had just re-prescribed my anti-inflam painkillers. I was a bit 'WTF?!' when it was he who had counselled me on the dangers of stopping prozac suddenly.
I saw an out of hours GP last night, he was worried about the pain (he also thinks my GP is a joke for diagnosing infection of the tubes over the phone cos you need a scan to show that) so he sent me to my gynae ER, the doc there said I need a scan but the one they had there was only for early pregnancy emergencies.
So I'm back to waiting til early August to find out what this is. My bad discharge has gone but the pain is ever-present. I got emotional about it last night but now I'm back to being irritated! And mini-screeching!

Hi Cherry, thats terrible! I had a similar problem a few months back. GP told me it was probably an infection after surgery. Blood count was normal but he gave me a double dose of antibiotics that made me feel like crap! I didn't want to take them but didn't know what else to do. Took a few weeks to feel normal again (whatever that is)! Still dont know if I had an infection or not.
Sometimes I get sooooooooooooo frustrated with my doc I want to cry at the sight of him!
Rant over.

Hope you feel better.

[ouchy]

There's no way you can just demand a scan at the ER???

[JC]

Wait till f*cking august!?!? Are you kidding me!?!

[Karen]

Here's hoping you're feeling a bit better these days!?!?!

On a side note, every time I read your subject title, I'm reminded of a show I watched all the time back in the day. A little gem called "Saved by the Bell", a (poorly acted) teenage-type show about some kids in high school. One of the characters, a dork with a squeaky voice, was called Screech. So whenever I see 'mini screech', I think of him. Only smaller.

LOLOLOLOL!!!!! I used to LOVE Saved by the Bell. It reminds me of Saturday mornings growing up!
