I have to get more proactive. I am still not feeling right - everyone keeps telling me it is in my head since the doctors cannot find anything but I do not believe that.
I am still have bowel issues and I wake up everyday with tightness in my stomach. I still have trush - none of these problems are going away - even with the diet.
So I called my GI doctor today - this morning actually and he never called me back and now his office is closed - I want to know what he thinks the next step is - I would really like to get some x-rays or a CT scan or something.
I am going to call my PCP tonight and see if he thinks I should go see another doctor - maybe get tested for food allegies or something.
I found a wellness center near my house - so I am going to call them and see if they can help me.
I also think being sick for this long has really taken a toll on me so I am looking for a therapist to talk to - my last one did not work out so well - but talking and getting all this out cannot hurt either.
So this weekend will be fulled with alot of phone calls and hopefully I can set up some appointment for next week. I am feeling pretty low and depressed about this whole situation but I will not give up - I will figure out what is going on with me.

I am so sorry that you are still feeling unwell and so low. Talking to someone is a very good idea.
I think changing doctor may be a good idea. You know your own body, if you do not feel well then the doctor should believe you.

How frustrating this is for you! I'm sorry you still don't have answers. Keep fighting and moving forward though. You have to be your own patient advocate!
I hope you are able to enjoy the weekend a little.
Definitely try and see a naturopath, they will try and get to the root of the problem and won't tell you it's in your head. Have you eliminated the top allergens in your diet? that might help. GL!
I think you might find some interesting reading in my friend's blog: http://doth.wordpress.com/2009/02/03/candida-complete-recap/
She called her mysterious illness "the dyingness" and it took years of unhelpful doctors before she settled on a diagnosis of candida.
I hope you figure out what's wrong soon. :(
I am so sorry you still aren't feeling better. I am hoping the wellness center can give you some answers this week Jackie! I am thinking of you!
