Im sooo tired...i just went to a different doctor again today. This time she is an internist and i saw her about a year and a half ago. Well I found that when i went to the ER on friday they told me i had mono. Apparently i dont have mono..or so she thinks. My white blood cell count is way too low to have just a weak positive for mono. Apparently the ER told me that cuz it was the easiest answer. No one can give me a straight answer. I also have a UTI. They dont know why i have had so many symptoms for as long as i have (two years). My internist suggested more bloodwork and medicine for my UTI and to see her back in three weeks. What doctors dont seem to understand is that means 3 more weeks of pain and fatigue and weight loss ...3 more weeks of struggling to work a laborous job while im stick thin and have to sleep on pillows so my hip bones and ribs dont rub on the mattress and need daily naps and am going bald. Whats even worse is in three weeks im not going to have an answer...just an answer at to what other tests im going to need to make a possible diagnosis. She said i could probably look forward to a lymph node biopsy just not yet..she wants to get her ducks in a row. She is doing her job. Im happy that a doctor is finally helping me. But I dont know how much longer i can last. I feel like im going to collapse...The excruiating body pain...my very tender stomach..my shortness of breath...im falling apart and I still have at least 5 weeks to keep going through this just to find out whats wrong with me. It wouldnt even be this bad if someone would have paid attention when i asked for help earlier. I am getting tired just writing this. How do people expect me to be a nursing assistant and go to school and take care of my baby...all while i can barely get off the couch ....thanks for listening to my rant...
