Fatigued,Immune System Breakdown,Multiple UTI's, Shooting Pain, Cramps, Bloating-Have I died and gone to h___?From: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon Apr 30 18:58:15 2007
I really appreciate all the advice that people give on this forum. This past weekend it was confirmed that I have my 9th UTI in 15/16 months. I typed up a lengthly letter to my obgyn asking to either refer me to a urologist, or go ahead and schedule a laporoscopy so we can see if maybe it has reared its ugly head. I mailed that letter a week ago today-I confirmed that he had been in all week. This is the same clinic that calls me April 14th to tell me I have a UTI-from a test I took on April 3rd. I was on the nuva ring and so after the 3rd UTI we went for another b/c-didn't help. After the 5th (the one that landed me in the hospital receiving IV antibiotics)-I asked my obgyn if we could do a kidney function test-he said we could but he felt it was unnecessary-so we didn't do it. During this last period the flank pain began again-wow-with the bloating and cramps-I just couldn't sleep for like 4 days. On the fourth day I was due back to have a culture run-at that time it had already been 3 days with a fever (when I went in to the clinic it was 103.3) I was shaking w/chills, the flank pain was massive, I was so dizzy I didn't trust myself driving my children, after sitting down for 10 minutes-I fall asleep. I have had multiple issues with viruses, stomache bugs (which I never get, and UTI's which I never had-all happening after my mensturation returned after childbirth). The doctor doesn't think there is any issue with my immune system. Okay so back to when I went to the clinic-I stepped into the lab and asked if I could wait for the results-they tell me a culture was ordered and takes 48 hours to process. I looked at the lab tech and said "I will not be alive in 2 days if you do not get me those results-I know what I have." She said she would contact my doctor. She tries to get a hold of my doctor and he is too busy. So I asked her kindly to contact our family doctor-whom I dealt with prior to my endometriosis. She did and he ordered the test-it took a half an hour-you do have an infection-we will fax it to your pharmacy right now (I sat at the pharmacy waiting for the fax for over a half an hour). I am just so frustrated-as sad as it sounds-if I didn't have my 2 beautiful children, I would ask god to just take me away-I feel like the combination of the kidney pain, fever, chills, fatigue, cramps, bloating, shooting pains, difficulty breathing, and dizziness-is my hell. My doctor was supposed to contact me today-beings it is 6:51 pm-I doubt that he will-I am not one that promote legal action against anyone, but If I ask for a test-shouldn't the doctor do it-if it is relavent to what I have? If I ask for either a referral or a diagnostic laparoscopy-shouldn't he accomodate one of those? No-Not even a phone call-I feel like such dirt-how would he like for his wife to be feeling this way and her doctor to blow her off? Not that I wish it on anyone, but I think if more doctors would try and relate in some way-it might make it a bit easier for those of us in pain on a daily basis. Thanks for the vent time. April
