I got my bloodwork results and everthing was normal is what my general med doctor said. So now I can go see my OBGYN and see what he says. Thanks, frenchy, I checked out the website and I'm going to print up some of what it says and show it to my OBGYN. Maybe he'll do the lapo after seeing that info. We'll see what the says. I'll keep ya'll posted.
I also had an exray and ultrasound done on my neck. I have a swollen lymph node causing one side of my neck to swell. My doc is sending me to see a specialist since the swelling refuses to go down. We'll see what happens with that.
Still waiting to see a Rheumatologist. MSI(state health insurance) sure does take forever to approve specialist referrals. I was thinking about visiting my family again for a change of scenery. Thought it might help the depression a bit. But I have to wait for two specialist referrals to be approved and go see them before I can go. That could be another 2-3 months for all of that...they may order more bloodwork or other tests. So I may not get to go see my family again for a while. Oh well, I just recently visited them anyways. Just thought a change of scenery for a few days would help with the depression.

Awww hun,, I know it's frustrating when you know something's wrong, but all the tests keep saying it's NORMAL! I've never liked the word normal. I mean, really, what is normal for some people is not normal for others. Remember that docs are still called practitioners, because they are just practicing at medicine. My daughter throws up daily, passes out, has hot flashes, all the symptoms of cervical or ovarian cancer, yet the only test they did was an ultrasound of her tummy! All of the stats say that an outer ultrasound is useless if you are looking for inner cancer. But, because she has no insurance, thereby meaning, no money...they refuse to investigate further! It all eventually comes down to financial difficulty or knowing the right person and/or information! My mom lived 67 yrs without a diagnosis of her medical problems down in the female reproductive area. It's all so frustrating! I'm so sorry and yet it does take away some of the maybe it might be this or that??? If there's anything I can do to help you sweetie, please call me? Call day or night. I've been thru this stuff for well over 30 yrs and it's so irritating that they cannot even take the time to listen to their patients! I'll get off of my soapbox, i guess I'm frustrated too! I have so many friends and relatives with similar problems, and yet, nothing is being done to help these poor women who are sufferring so needlessly! God Bless You hun, you are and always will be in my daily prayers. God makes a promise that He keeps: we will not suffer with more than we are capable of dealing with..that's a promise from the Father Himself. Maybe you should go away to visit with your family? I'll be home all day Sunday, unless I feel up to going to church, then after noon I'll be home. I sure wish these silly docs would stop messing around and get down to the facts of the symptoms, take hormone levels, do other testing...anything to find some kind of answer!! I love you and am praying for you everyday sweetie. Hugs~Kim xoxoxoxoxoxo :O)

Hello Joybear, Well I am glad to hear that all your lab work turned out okay. I was thinking with all the bleeding you might have low iron or hemoglobin, but that would of showed up in lab work. I know it is really inconvienient to wait to get into specialist. I hope you are able to get outside some and enjoy the weather. Hang in there.
