Hi everyone.

I am in tears today.
I went through a week of very bad stomach to lower abdomen pains, saw my doc. She is not helping. She told me: "I cannot get a Specialist to see you if all the labs show 'nothing'". She ordered a chest xray for me right in front of me 2 weeks ago, but it is not in my file. I asked the nurse to get my doc to give me a lab request for the xray. I just got a call from the nurse who said: "The doc says you do not need a chest xray."
I have been wheezing for 8 months! I can hear the weird higher gurgling and a crackling noise up near my sinuses. I have had middle back pain for 8 months and when my stomach pain is bad my middle back has even more pain.

I was in horrible pain for a week and my stomach looks 6 months pregnant. I put on 5 1/2 lbs in the last week+1/2 and this is when I was hardly eating!
When I went to see the doc yesterday she was doing a 'yearly' exam on me. She insisted that I have a Tetanus shot as my file doesn't show that I have ever had one!

She didn't tell me that it would cause pain in my right arm and possibly my neck and had the nurse give me the shot. Just before the nurse gave me the shot she said "This will ache a little for 2 days." It hurts like hell! I have been using my arm to lower the pain level, but it really sucks to be experiencing this after a week of all-over pain and lack of sleep.

I have had a few tetanus shots over the last 20 years. My Doc knows I have really bad neck pain on my right side, and that I have Fibromyalgia. I hardly slept last night the pain was so bad. I tossed and turned all night. I am going to have to talk to the Hospital Administrator about all this. The docs that are available this year really suck.

The local lab does not find anything when it is visible to the naked eye. I do not know who to see or what lab will work. My medical insurance is bottom of the barrel and I have no available cash. After dong thousands of hours of volunteer work and giving everything I could to my son as a single parent I would think that some kind of help would be available to me. I do not have family to help me and although I have asked a few very good friends to help, they cannot.

At my wits end here folks.

Where to turn?

I have all this stuff still coming out of my nose, wheezing, stomach and abdominal-back pain. I am afraid to eat as anything I eat causes pain. My constipation problem gets ahead of me and although I eat a lot of fruit, Metamucil, plenty of water; it still gets ahead of me.

Any processed foods seem to make it worse.
I cannot eat many raw veggies.

Sorry if this goes off-topic. This was a vent.

Re: kids. I cannot tell my adult son about all of this. I told him about parasites in general. That's all I feel I can do for now. he has had all kinds of symptoms for years and has really bad eating habits. Tweet
