stressed and worried

Rate this Entry
So i forgot to tell everyone that i was properly diagnosed with IBS there at the end of last month. (so long yummy food! ) I know its crap but i can live with it and hey! I've already lost a few pound!!!!
I'm very stressed out at the moment. and its everything that has me stressed. Work, family, relationship, health... especially health.
When i was at the consultant back in march he told me that my bloods for my liver function had come back a bit off so he sent me off to get more tests done that day. I get the results on the 30th of this month. In the mean time i suddenly got a letter from the hospital yesterday to say i have had an appointment made by my doctor for an ultrasound. This was a surprise to me i can tell you! And now i'm worried that my bloods came back wrong again and that they want to look at my liver and gallbladder (esp seeing as the doctor is aware that i've been having pains in that side of my body...although he said it was muscular...)
I had made a vow last year that this would be a year of good health...between january and july, may is the only month i Dont/didnt have to go to the hospital for an appointment.
It stinks!
So now i have to stress over an ultrasound in June...
Can my health just ever give me a feckin break!!!!

    the only words of advise I can give you is just take care of yourself and do what you have to do. I know it can be stressful but you somehow have to channel that stress into something good. Its not easy I know. You have to hang in there and not let this run your life.

    Niamh, was it that your liver function number (I forget the specific term) was slightly high? Actually I had to get a liver ultrasound almost a year and a half ago because I had it come in slightly high. It turned out to be fatty liver. I talked about it on the forum here: http://www.online-literature.com/for...ht=fatty+liver. If you look on later in that thread I describe how I got it to normal. If it's only fatty liver than it's not a big deal. Exercise and diet will keep it in check. Let's hope that's all it is.

    My dear, sweet Niamh,
    I suspect that the doctor's are full of ****e. I want you to understand, that the prayers you have offered me, are sent back upon you with love. Fear not my angel, for I love you with all of my heart. I will draw upon the prayers you sent my way, and accept your pains upon me. I love you so. B

    Oh, poor, Niamh. I was actually thinking about you the other day. I was wondering how everything was going with all of this. I am so sorry to hear that all of this extra stuff is happening now. I am sorry to hear about the extra worries and stress that this puts on you now. I don't know exactly what to say to make you feel better except to just hang on in there. Besides, look to the future! Don't you still have this trip that you'll be making later in the summer? Think of the fact that you will be getting away for awhile. I think you need that. I certainly think it will do you good!

    Hey, best of luck and also - I know you can deal with this. It's kinda crappy, but at least you're alive =]

    Peace,

    Niamh, I am so sorry to hear that you're dealing with all these health problems. I've had those years when you vow everything is going to be healthy and fine and then fate kicks you in the rear. Hang in there. It will be better one of these days, and in the mean time try to make a little time for yourself regularly to do something you enjoy doing: read your favorite humorous book, or take a favorite walk, or make a little splurge purchase...anything that will lift your spirits a bit.

    And why should we worry that you posted about your health? We need to know that you are doing well, and without your posts we can't be praying or wishing you the best of health, can we? You hang in there, my Froud Faire! Wishing you all the best and my prayers!
