Yesterday My Mom, and Grandma (my dad's mom) Took me back to OSU to see my GI doctor for my 3 month follow up. And also get the test results from the mostly failed MRI Test I attempted to do 2 weeks ago.
The GI doctor to break it down and just put the facts in said, that even though I didn't finished the MRI test that they did still get some good pictures, and that I do still have a small amount of active Crohn's Disease where my Small Intestine and Large Intestine meet. They could also see that due to having Crohn's for so many years that went undiagnosed and treated that alot of my small intestine is scared from Crohn's. But that they can't seem to still figure out why I keep being sick to my stomach/vomiting, and having such extreme symptoms when the Crohn's is a mild case now. The only thing they can think (meaning they really don't know and are pulling at strings at this point to think of something) is that I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome and my stomach and intestines are constantly going into spasms on top of Crohn's disease.
So the GI doctor didn't take me off Humira injections and added another medication to my ever growing med list. This one is called Bental and it is to help stop the Spasms in my stomach and intestines.
However, I have to share some of the dumb stuff that my doctor said and his associate doctor (student doctor) said to me.....
1st the student doctor commented on the inflammation in my liver, he said that if I would lose weight that my liver would get better. REALLY! YOU THINK I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED TO LOSE WEIGHT, I MEAN LOOK AT ME! I told the student doctor that I wold love to lose this weight and if he could tell me how I'm to do that when I can't eat anything but carbs, can't exercise, every day having diarrhea and sometimes vomiting. other days i can't hardly eat anything so I'm constantly switching back and forth from starvation and then I'm on medications that won't let me lose weight. I told him if he has an answer to how to help me to lose weight I would love to hear it.....He didn't say a word after I said that
2nd the my GI doctor starts asking me about my diet and he asks me if I eat foods with sugar in them.....I eat carbs and breads all the time of course I'm eating foods with sugar in them!!!! I have to drink gatorade sometimes when i'm so sick i can't eat or drink much and to try and get some vitamins i do drink half a glass when I can certains days of apple juice or grape juice. So yeah sadly i do eat foods with sugars DUH!!! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I EAT, I TOLD HIM! I can eat crackers and drink water and i throw that up!
Then after the appointment they did more blood work to check my levels and see if I have any infection in my system that i may not be aware of. And then Grandma, mom and I headed home.....and that's when things got even worse!
On our way home we stopped at Bob Evans Restaurant in South Bloomfield Ohio to eat lunch. After eating lunch Grandma either left her wallet on the table or dropped it out of her bag, we really don't know. And before we even left the restaurant someone in the section we were seated at grabbed the wallet and stole it! Grandma had gone to the bathroom and I was waiting for her at the exit doors and she said coming out of the bathroom that her purse felt too light and when she looked in it her wallet was gone! We have an idea of who stole it because there was only 3 people seated in our area of the restaurant. We called the police, made a report and Grandma in less than 2 hours had her bank card and all credit cards cancelled but the thief or thieves do have her drivers license and also her social security card and some cash! But it was all reported before the thieves could do anything and if they try to sign up for credit cards or use her ss number or anything they will be immediately arrested.
As if we didn't already have enough to deal with, this had to happen!!!! I just felt so sick knowing this happened and in the end it made me sicker being under even more stress. But my mom took me home and her and I spent the rest of the day together listening to old records and drinking exotic tea from Africa.
WHAT IS TO COME IN THE NEXT MONTH:
There is a very big problem Crohn's has called and it is literally a pain in my Butt! Hemorrhoids! Due to having constant diarrhea every day for 6 years I have got internal hemorrhoids and they HURT! The GI doctor has referred me to a Rectal/Colon Surgeon to see what he can do to help me and I see him for my first appointment next month Nov. 19th and see if I need to have surgery to remove the hemorrhoids or some type of treatment to help the hemorrhoid/hoids.
And then I go back to the GI doctor in Feb. 2014 so let us hope for this holiday season I can have a good season without stress and can just enjoy the holidays with my family and hubby.
So when I see the surgeon I will post a new blog update and let you know. But for now this is the end of this blog segment and Chaos and craziness is still trying to tear me down, but Thank God that My God is Greater and He that is in me is great than that, that is in the world
