Thank you so much for the advice, I just needed the reassurance that I
am not overreacting and this could be something very serious. I am
trying my best to stay positive and keep smiling as I have my family and
friends supporting me and they are very understanding, and now I have
all of you:) It is hard sometimes because it seems like these drs don't
want to listen to me. It's like...I mention bladder, my gyno send me to
the urologist without furthur explanation of symptoms, I mention pelvis
and the urologist tells me to see my gyno without furthur explanation of
symptoms....ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! And not to mention they refuse to
give me anything for the pain as I still think they think I am a pill
seeker. Morons. Anyways, this site has helped me cope because all of
you understand. I am going to go through with this procedure at the
uro, and in the meantime search for another gyno to get a lap done.
Thanks so much for your help....HUGS, Amanda
