Hello!

Hi Everyone. I am totally lost & don't have a clue what to do?I haven't been feeling well for quite some time. I have been going to the Dr. pretty steady for a year plus. I go with my symptoms & I'm either being assumed as depressed & handed antidepressants - having IBS or told there is nothing that can be done? At first I was just going to the Dr. for achiness, hips hurting, feeling ill all the time & very tired. Then my stomach started bothering me. And I started running a low-grade fever at least 1-3x's a week. Throat is red, and glands in neck slightly inflammed. And when I exercise, I feel like I have the flu. I had about 5 earaches from last December until around April. Then I started feeling full on my right side, under my rib cage. To the point I have to recline my seat back in my car because it feels like something is under my ribs. Like something is swollen? I recently got insurance, so I found myself a new Dr. He ran all kinds of tests. Testing for inflammation, arthritis, lupus, auto immune disorders. Dr thought it sounded as tho my immune system was attacking itself. Well, all tests say I'm healthier than a horse. Which I am soo very happy to know. But, when a person feels so cruddy, then what?

I went for testing on my gallbladder. I had pain with a Hida Scan they did. The Dr. said it was functioning at a high % but the conern was that I had pain with the test. So, he says its functioning but with pain. Testing didn't show stones or anything. Ultrasound showed thickened wall & polyps. I met with a surgeon about a month ago. He said he was leaving it up to me. If I could live & function with the way things were, then good. But, he wanted me to try Prilosec for a few weeks & if it didn't get better& I wanted surgery to call & schedule. He said he wouldn't be able to say for sure what it really even was until he actually did the surgery. The prilosec didn't help. I am so desperate, I will try anything?I scheduled the surgery today for the middle of December. I'm scared its not what I need. Im scared having this surgery is going to make things worse or not even fix anything. But, then I think, what if it is the answer & it will help?

Right now I'm at the point of the backache making me feel drained & I don't want to get up in the mornings. I never feel rested.

I went to the gym today. I haven't been exercising because I don't feel good when I do. It makes me feel really ill & cause me so much fatigue. I need to be cleaning my house & getting my big mountain of laundry done & cleaning out my freezer for meat we bought. I feel so sick?I am 33 years old & never imagined I would feel this way. I thought exercise is supposed to give a person energy?Not make one feel sick :0( Soo, I'm running the low grade fever today. I lost 20 lbs since last year. I thought maybe it was the weight dragging me down. Every day was a struggle to even lose the weight that I have. I felt sick and tired every single day. And still feel the same way.

Also, a Dr. I had been going to until I found a diff. Dr. Kept telling me I had allergies. But, tried everything under the sun over the counter & scripts of allergy meds. Then he says it 'sounded' like firbromyalgia. I could try a med for it. He gave me samples of Savella & I was extremely sensitive to it. It seemed to help in a matter of days. But, I was extremely mean. My husband made me stop taking it when I embaressed him in Wal-Mart by being rude to a stranger. I was really paranoid & snappy with my husband and children.

Thanks for listening!

Thanks for your reply Sherrine :0) I'm going ahead with the surgery, and pray for the best!!

I had a hysterectomy almost 6 years ago. I still have my right ovary. I had an ultrasound & they found a cyst. It was the size of a tennis ball?Well, I went packin to the GYN. & by the time I got to his office & he did a new ultrasound, he said the cyst had dissolved?And it was a functioning cyst. And that just told him that the ovary was working. And so now, I know the time that I ovulate ( i had lost track HAHA). Soo, went back to regular Dr. to tell him my news. He sent me out for the tests on the gallbladder, which he originally thought was the problem in the first place, before he found the cyst.
And so now that it is leading to gallbladder, I guess this feels the only thing I can do to see if it helps?

Debbie, Thanks bunches!Your post gives me some hope!I feel like, I should be in horrible outrageous pain or something for it to be my gallbladder!I don't no if that makes any sense but?Everything I read, people say how they are doubled over in pain or the pain brought them to their knees. Or they wake up in the middle of the night and the symptoms happen.

What ever this could be, it's really affecting my life for sure!I still need to do a massive pile of laundry. Reclean everything I cleaned yesterday. The kids & the husband come thru & everything is a disaster???LOL. It wouldn't be so bad, if I felt like doing something!I gota clean out my freezer today, that I never cleaned the other day. ARGH.

Spent all morning at the dentist with my son. Took him back to school. Had to go to store for my dad. Go to nursing home to take things to my dad. Now I'm home, and want to do NOTHING. I'm so tired of not having ANY motivation or drive for anything. It's sickening!!
