Not just Duke Blue (which I am always), but the kind of blue that makes me slump in my chair, and hug a pillow, and look longingly out the window (as if I couldn't just go outside).
After spending a couple of months feeling good (some days my pain was ZERO), and beginning to enjoy the "new normal" and my "coming back into life"... now, I feel like I've started all over again...
I have been having severe abdminal/pelvic cramps since Saturday, April 16. Almost three weeks now. Feels just like menstruating, except I'm not bleeding at all. But, I'm bloated, and irritable, and there is not enough chocolate in the world to satisfy my cravings.
Went to Dr. after one week. She checked for pregnancy, infection, etc. Sent me for an ultrasound (internal - agh). Today, heard that the results were "all normal." Next, on to an OB-GYN (which is where I should have started, but I don't normally see this type of specialist).
I've already been through trying to diagnose and heal from one severe pain. Couldn't my body wait until I was finished with that one before bringing on another? I am grateful that the pain is in another place on my body. If, for example, I had kidney stones that made my back hurt - I think I'd go insane from more pain in the same place. At least, this is different pain...
Thanks for letting me vent... I'll get back to my more hopeful self soon... I hope...
