health update

So, for those of you who know about my health struggles, this is an update...for those of you who don't, I'll inform you some. I've had diarrhea and abdominal pain since October of 2008. In December of that year, I had my gall bladder removed. However, it didn't help. I've had CT scans, ultrasounds, CBCs, and abdominal xrays. I've been to six or seven different doctors and none of them has done anything to help....or even to make me think they cared one bit.

So, my mom and I were talking to my childhood preacher and his wife. They convinced us to apply for Social Security. I did and was denied disability (hadn't worked long enough) but am being reviewed for SSI. I went in for a pysical yesterday and they kind of hinted that I'll be getting a colonoscopy after the Social Security office reviews the doctor's notes.

Now, I'm not really excited about a colonoscopy or the preparation for it....I am, however, ready for a final diagnosis. I mean, it's been nearly two years and nobody has been able to tell me a cause for my diarrhea and abdominal pain.
