Doctors update
5 years, 3 months & 18 days ago
9th Aug 2019 06:33 So I???m no longer aware of the dates this all happened but I???m going to keep a record of anything that happens from now on because I feel like it should be out there.
So I recently (24th of June) moved to essentially the next town over. The doctor I was seeing knew about this but requested that I stay at my old surgery so he could find out what was happening with me. I had been being treated for a UTI for almost 2 months previous to this and finally it came back after they decided to do a culture test that I didn???t have any infection, just white blood cells and blood in my urine, no infection no protein. With this I was given a 2 week emergency referral where I should have got the date for the ultrasound and had the appointment within 2 weeks of it being sent off. After waiting little over 3 weeks I rang my doctors surgery for the 4th time to finally find out that they???d had the letter back from the hospital for days but had denied me a referral because I no longer lived in the postcode area and because my doctor was not on that day the receptionist said she was sending it back off and I would have an appointment in 6 to 8 weeks, almost 3 months after I should have had the ultrasound. Now considering that I was going to be tested for PCOS, endometriosis and other various things including tumours I put the phone down and immediately changed surgeries. I was also told at my previous surgery by a different doctor, with great delight that I more than likely had lactoblastoma which is a non cancerous tumour on my brain. Thankfully he was wrong however I should have been referred to a neurologist and had not been after this. Back to present and I had my appointment booked for the 7th of August and it came but I had to cancel it due to other issues so now it???s just a waiting game to get another appointment hopefully next week.
However my symptoms have got worse, there???s a swelling in my upper abdomen. At first I thought I was piling on weight until it dawned on me that I don???t eat that often and so I pressed the area and it gave me sharp pains and I can feel that it???s not fat. I want to figure out what???s happening and soon, for my reference I have decided to blog it. I have had memory issues for awhile now and Marapets is somewhere I come to let all out. I have always been very open with my life on here and so I know I???ll update it, which I wouldn???t with a diary because I???d probably lose it.
