What else could happen?
With everything I live with already...bipolar, epilepsy, diabetes, thyroid disease what else could happen?
I just spent 4 days hospitalized...released late yesterday afternoon. Thought, I'd had an allergic reaction to a medication...NOT!
Thank God on the 24th I had an appointment with MY doctor. Got there and was told it had been cancelled...but they forgot to notify ME?! Another doctor, Dr. Jeffries agreed to see me. After we talked, after he examined me he sent me to the lab for bloodwork. Next day I get a call from his medical assistant saying to come in ASAP for more lab work and an ultra sound at the hospital. It's now the 25th and I comply.
I knew when the tech finished the ultra sound and said she was calling the doc to see if he wanted any more tests that something was wrong. She came back saying he wanted me to go straight to the ER and he'd call me there.
I'm registering in the ER, the doc calls and tells me he's having me admitted. It took til 4am for a bed to be ready for me.
Within hours I'm scheduled for an ERCP. Non-invasive surgery using a scope to look at my bile duct. Stent was place in my bile duct because it was constricted but they couldn't see why. Took 2 biopsies. Next day was an MRCI. They have to find the reason for the constriction...they are thinking cancer. Next step is they have referred me to Stanford Hospital for more advanced imaging. Biopsy results aren't in yet. Here I am in limbo waiting to find out if I have bile duct cancer or not.
They took me off my Seroquel while I was in the hospital. That was fun. Severe headaches...hard to sleep and the chatter increased in my head. Needless to say when I took it last night I crashed...in a good way. Oh, I was allowed my BusPar for anxiety.
