Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hi all: I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. Well, after having a couple of relatively quiet days regarding the panc (well, quiet for me is still having the usual background pain, etc., but it seemed like the burning thing had gone down at bit) I'm right back where I was (although not quite as bad as the " on the verge of needing to go to the ER but not going because I hate it there and they su** basically...) with the burning " battery acid " thing going on again. I DID call the GI that said he'd see me on on an as needed basis and this was on Monday....I think I posted to you all that the nurse said she'd have to " talk to the doctor before scheduling an appointment and he won't be back in the office until Wednesday " ....well, Wednesday went by and no phone call, Thursday went by and no phone call and now Friday has gone by and no phone call. Now I'm trying really hard to believe that they were perhaps really, really busy and the nurse forgot to ask him about me needing to be seen..but that is very hard to believe. I honestly think they're playing the game of " if we pretend she doesn't exist she won't call back. " Well, WRONG answer and I WILL be calling back there first thing Tuesday (Monday is a holiday in the states - Columbus Day so they may or may not be in although I may try to call then as well on the thought that maybe they don't " Celebrate " that particular holiday in doctor's offices. So, just thought I'd let you all know...I'm going to be getting VERY serious here soon regarding finding a pancreatologist. I HAVE GOT TO FIND A DOCTOR!!! This is just getting way out of hand and it's partially because I just haven't given it the time research-wise in feverishly, giving it my all, until I find one that I can actually work with that understands this illness. Or at least does all he can regarding getting to the bottom of this. At any rate it's 3:30am on Sunday morning and once again I'm up not sleeping....despite taking the sleeping pill the pain doc gave me so guess I have to call him now as well..... Did I ever mention how much I hate this illness? Just one thing after another...and I'm getting worn down I've gotta tell you. Sorry guess it's another pity party coming on.....but I seem to recall being this way near the holidays last year. Just keep telling myself that there is always someone that has it worse than I do and sure enough because last night they had the show on called something like " Make A Wish " and there was a family featured that had lost everything in the hurrican....boy that was really something. Not to mention another story about a man that had cancer that just tried to really make his last days good ones...so those were heartwarming. Well, sorry for this length of a post but yep, that's me the queen of the long drawnout posts!! Take care all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 My first impression was that they were giving you a run-around too. I hope you find someone really good, they seem to be like needles in haystacks! Eileen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
