I saw the specialist this morning about the diverticulosis disease and having diverticulitis, he didn't seem too concerned and his blah attitude pisses me off. I''ve seen him a couple of times about other things and I don't care for his bedside manner. I told him the pain is there pretty much all of the time and it feels like something is moving around right under the left rib, I told him that I went to the ER on Friday and got a prescription until I saw him and I didn't find that it helped at all,I was just about crying and said I want to know what's causing the pain so something can be done about it. He gave me a prescription to try to stop the spasms with some of the side effects causing dizziness which is one of things I want answers too, I am so frustrated right now, I stopped in to visit my son and cried because I want to feel better and get outside and enjoy life but smoking isn't even a blimp on my radar because I don't smoke anymore and have no desire to ruin my perfectly beautiful forever quit . My quit is 100 % safe and secure because,smoking causes stress which right now I don't need the added stress of nicotine causing more health issues. I really needed to vent because I am disgusted with my family doctor, he did nothing when I saw him last Tuesday but at least this specialist is setting up a colonoscopy which hopefully will find the problem and fix it and he wants me to take these pills he prescribed 3 times a day and then see him in 2 wks to see if they settle the spasms. Thank you my friends and fellow Exers for letting me vent, I just want to feel energetic and happy again,life is way too short to feel miserable all the time but at least I can say with a huge smile that I quit smoking and on July 14th I will be enjoying my 2 yr milestone, thanks for letting me vent..........
