Well, I got my results. They ended up in being nothings. Still have a few more tests to go, but I have a feeling they're going to stick me on a bunch of medicines and call it a day

Either way, thanks for your kind words, everyone!

So is that a good thing because you don't have whatever they were looking for, or a bad thing because they still don't know what's wrong?

Either way, our thoughts are with you...

I am just curious, did they check for food allergies? I get severe abdominal pains any time I eat tomatillas, the key ingredient in green salsa.

I remember the weird taste in my mouth when I got the IV for some CT scans.

Maybe my mom gave you the scan, she does that for a living

Good luck!

Yay! You don't have PCOS! <3

When I first read the first post, that's what I thought... My girlfriend has PCOS, and I though, right at the word "cyst"... Well, no worries. It's not! Happy! *Cling.*

Did I mention *cling*?

Chazzler · « **Reply #24 on:** April 29, 2007, 08:02:52 pm »

Well, just my thoughts on the matter: Maybe it's not a cyst or something else that can be seen through a CT scan? Not meaning to give depressing messages here, but just a thought.

hmm, yes, scary.

have they done a normal run of the mill *female* checkup? tested for abnormal cells in/on/around the cervix?

^been there, done that... it hurts a little when they use the thing tha tlooks like a giant dog nail clippers to take a piece of yer cervix, but.. knowing is better...

and trust me, sometimes knowing is scary... I'm diagnosed, and more or less will be getting cervical cancer: yay me.

Oh, and if you have daughters... get them shot for HPV. Just cause they are perfect and would never do that... Trust me, when your twenty and going to the doctor and know what cervical cancer is.. its bad.

sorry, tangent that ment nothing really, other than.. I know what its like, and maybe another idea?

Aww. You poor girls! Well Lilswanwillow, hug and wish you well. Hmm, sounds a bit trite, but its the thought that counts eh?

*looks around shifty, and offers cookies to them*

Wow, thats kinda obscure. Is it just tomatillas?

Checking for food allegries is a good idea especially since it is a relatively non-invasive and inexpensive test (compared to the stuff they might try to do after CTs where nothing shows up.)

hush, this is Kinai's thread, I was just sharing.. ya know, throwing out a proverbial hand?

Interia_Discordius · « **Reply #29 on:** May 01, 2007, 12:28:25 pm »

Alrighty then, went back for another test, and voila, answers.

Turns out I have multiple fairly large cysts in my left ovary. Not bad enough for surgery, but I have a loooong time of taking medicines for a while.

I'm just glad to get it all over with.

- And that's hopefully the end of the story

Good news in that at least you know what is is now and hopefully they will have some good meds for you!

hawklen · « **Reply #31 on:** May 01, 2007, 03:27:13 pm »

Yay! Meds! Err, I mean, thats good! Its treatable then without the slicing and dicing!

Stephen_Zuckerman · « **Reply #32 on:** May 01, 2007, 03:41:21 pm »

*Hugs Christine.* Good to hear it's something treatable.

Hip hip hooray for modern medicine!

ShiffDrgnhrt · « **Reply #33 on:** May 01, 2007, 04:40:12 pm »

Yay! *hugs* Its fixable! Good to know yer'll be alright, Christine.

Ravemore · « **Reply #34 on:** May 01, 2007, 05:59:08 pm »

Hope all goes well and you're feeling better soon.

Chazzler · « **Reply #35 on:** May 02, 2007, 06:08:04 am »

I'm glad to hear that it is fixable, cheers!

woohoo!!!

Serissa · « **Reply #37 on:** May 02, 2007, 08:18:50 am »

Pay very close attention to the discussion of effects and side-effects of the medicines. You just might decide the knife is better. Good luck either way.

I wish you well, Kin. =]

I agree with Serissa, pharms are always eager to push drugs, and they can cause much harm. Of course the last thing you or your family probably feel like doing now is hunting around for more opinions, but still. Be careful with meds, people with diplomas don't always know exactly what's best. A friend of mine lost someone close to them because of suggested medications - just keep both eyes open when ingesting crazy chemicals.
