Ive been dealing with some serious health issues for awhile now...and now its boiling over and NOW my doctors are getting frantic...if you want to call it that.

Two years ago I went to my family doc with swollen lymph nodes and fatigue and all over body pain. He gave me an antibodic, tested me for autoimmune, lymes, arthites, diabetes and thyroid. They were all negitive and the antibodic did nothing for my lymph nodes. I then went to an internist a couple months later because my fatigue was getting worse, my lymph nodes were still swollen and i was just all over miserable. She did a CT scan and found three swollen lymph nodes above my clavical and one on each side of my neck, a right lung nodule and an enlarged thymus (she told me that means my immune system is very low and not working properly). Gave me an antibodic and that didnt work. She said she couldnt figure it out and that it was all coicidental (cant spell sorry) so I left. Then in about dec i lost 20 pounds in two weeks. I was getting sick every day and then about a couple weeks of being 100 pounds all of a sudden my stomach became really bloated, severe abdominal pain, lower back pain, more puking...and periods were coming every two weeks 10 to 13 days, black tarry periods and brown spotting. Went to gyno told me i had a small cyst and it will go away. Present day, Still looking 5 months pregnant, and all my symptoms except they are all worse (i cant vouge for thymus or nodule lol) Im soo weak i feel like jello, I cant hold my son anymore im afraid im going to drop him and i take naps everyday just to make it through the day. Did I mention im only 22 years old??? Went back to gyno and said my reproductive organs are very swollen (it hurts to be touched in my pelvis area, causes me to sweat and all). Gave me more antibodics..which didnt work. Now she said i need surgery as soon as possible. I told her about my medical history and she wants me to literally make an appointment today with my internist for an emergency follow up. Ironically in all these years they brushed me off..and now i just lost my insurance and NOW they want to be serious about it. My internist is on medical leave right now but due to communication through the wonderful Godsend of an assistant she wants me to be seen immediately as well. My husband and I are cracking at the seams. I have been so sick for so long and now im so much worse we are constantly stressed and fighting. Im getting to the point where im no longer functional. Im so weak im actually shaking, i eat one meal a day at 4/5 pm and thats it, i get sick just eating a small meal. My blood work is kinda weird. My white blood cell count flucuates from really low to normal and i do have anemia..which could account for the fatigue...but that severe?? Im just mad because ive been going to doctors for two years who have brushed me off multiple times and now that i just lost my insurance and am barely functioning...now they are telling me i need immediate care, immediate surgery (laprascopy)..and from what i understand they still dont know, but they are talking about doing all this in a matter of days...im so blown away..Ive been telling them for TWO YEARS im sick and something is very wrong but no...its now when i cant afford health care that they take me seriously..irony?? I applied for medical assistance so I told them im gonna have to wait until i find out if i get it or dont get it. We will see. Dont get me wrong im glad they are actually taking me seriously..better late than never i guess..but i always did tell my husband its gonna take me falling over and non functional before they take me seriously...and sure enough..I just wish I didnt loose all this time being this sick and im afraid whatever i had..since my symptoms are getting worse that whatever I have is getting worse. Thanks for listening to my rant!!!
