After yet another visit to the hospital and actually talking to a doctor that knows how to explain things we now have some idea of what has been going on. It is now looking like i have either kidney or gall stones and that has upset the bowl and colon causing acute IBS and also constipation. As i became so constipated and had to strain just to release a small amount of wind from my bowls i have now caused myself a hernia on the left testicle or just above it and it all now swollen.
I am due into hospital tomorrow afternoon at 2pm for a full scan so they can finally find out what on earth is going on. I have never been in so much pain in all my life. I thought it was bad enough suffering with VH and getting regular cluster attacks but i have to admit this comes a close second when it comes to the pain. I feel like someone is stabbing me constantly in the left side and both side of my lower back is killing me from all the wind that keeps building up and bloating me out like a balloon. It is so bad that my actual stomach is rock hard and feels like the inside is burning.
Last night was a scary night as i didn't get much sleep not from the CH but from the pain in the sides and the back. I have ended up staying up all night curled on my sofa with a quilt to keep warm watching TV and trying to manage to pain, stress and wind. I wish time would just fast forward so i can finally get some answers and put and end to this story. It is now looking less and less likely that i will be able to join my mum and step father on our holiday in Cornwall so you can imagine i am quite annoyed with myself and upset that i am now loosing out on the holiday of a life time that i have so looked forwards to.
Unfortunately i am unable to control fate and these things happen i suppose. I just wish i could stop the pain and ache and control the wind as i would be able to put up with the rest and probably be able to go. I am praying for a miracle that it is something stupid that can be sorted out very quickly or with medication allowing me to join them in Cornwall but i have a bad feeling about it and don’t think it is going to be possible. Its crazy but if only the doctors would listen to me three weeks ago when i first reported the problem just maybe i wouldn’t have had to suffer all this pain and upset. I suppose these things are easy to miss when you are as busy as some of these doctors are. Lets just hope i can get through tonight and tomorrow we finally get some answers. Fingers crossed!
