So, I've had some stomach pains and nausea for about 10 days now but with no other symptoms. I kept thinking I'll call the doctor if I don't get better but of course I would get busy and forget. Well Monday I worked a very long day and when I got home at 7:00, I sat down and literally could not have gotten up if there was a fire! I woke up Tuesday feeling okay but slightly weak and more nauseated. I headed to work thinking I would call the doctor when I got there and get him to call something in for the nausea but of course he wanted to see him. After poking and prodding my abdomen he decided there could be a problem with my liver as I don't have my gallbladder anymore and possibly as a result got an infection. After lots of blood drawing, 2 bottles of water, an ultrasound and sitting at the doctor for four hours we came to the conclusion that my liver was okay but I had Fibromyalgia. Blah! It seems I must have picked up a virus of some sort in the last 10 days which has long left but left my body dragged down with no energy and an immune system that is fighting something that is no longer there. Hopefully with all the good med's they gave me I will be able to get the Fibromyalgia in "remission" and get my life back!
The good news is I got on the scale this morning and had lost another 2.5 lbs since yesterday morning. The nurse does not think it so good so if I can't hold crackers down then I will be going back on Friday. She also warned me that if I don't take off work and rest for the week then once I get back from camp I might end up in the hospital where I'll be forced to rest and recoup some energy! IF you've seen me out and about b/c as you know camp is next week and I have lots' to get done at church tonight and Wal-Mart tomorrow, I have been told I'm not contagious at this point b/c I'm not running a fever!
