WAITING, WAITING, WAITING

Not much to post for the moment.  I am scheduled for an Upper GI next Monday and this waiting is torture. I honestly can't remember what it feels like to not be nauseated.  I've lost 8 lbs. in the last two weeks, since I truly don't want to eat.  I've been passing a lot of time researching exactly what a hiatal hernia is and what will need to be done to fix it.  Although, at this point, I still don't know what kind I have, since there are different types:  a sliding, a paraesophageal or mixed, which means a little of both.  I'm sure I'll find out after the upper GI.  I wouldn't wish this on anyone, but at least I finally have a doctor that cares and is actually getting some place with a diagnosis.


As I have said before, if your in pain, feel sick and your doctor is ignoring your complaints or treating you poorly, find a new doctor.  No one deserves to be treated like its all in their head.  Especially, when in my case, they are now finally realizing its not.  I actually do have a medical condition that needs to be corrected.
