not haha funny but funny. im going for a scan tommorow and i have to drink this liquid that is white and chalky half of it at midnight and the other half at 6 in the morning. but whatever i have causes me to be naseous all the time so it makes no sense that they give me this crap to drink when im puking my organs out. you wanna hear something else funny but not haha funny i can't go back to work): my doctor wont give me a note and my work wont let me back without a note):
she says i need bedrest because of my liver enzyme levels but i feel fine when im on the painkillers so i dont understand why i cant just go to work on the painkillers and do what i need to do for an hour or two each day. its not like im going to go back to full time.
Your liver enzyme levels are through the roof too eh? I am guessing that we are not suffering from the same illness, but nonetheless, I wish you health. Barium is killer and honestly, I have no tips as how to make it go down smoother.
what's up with your liver? i am hoping i have gallstones in my bileducts that the ultrasound didn't pick up because the alternative is a lot worse): normal enzyme levels are around 50 mine was over 500 and now iss 400 so it's getting better but we still cant figure it out):
lynsey, best of luck to you. *hugs*. I hope it all works out for you. It sucks that you have to drink that nasty stuff on top of everything else, though.
well I drank it but couldn't keep it down so they had to inject dye into my veins so the ct scan would pick up any masses. Bad news I found out my doctor sent me there to see if i have masses, which I found out this morning is a nice way of saying cancer. Nice of her to tell me that's a possiblity, would have liked to know sooner and not find out from the cat scan lady.
doctors suck im sorry to hear your dealing with all this lynsey ive had cs and mri and it just sucks i was pretty damn lucky they didn't find anything except an abnormal sinus cavity.. whatever that means ((hugs)) im sending some good vibes your way... (do ya feel um?)
I feel em....wait wait that's the pain killers. Did they inject you when they did the cat scan? I thought I peed my pants because it felt so weird and warm
yea they did... it sucked ive had several of both but the stupid thing when they injected me they let some new nurse? guy do it and he poked me five times before finally getting it in.. and i have scars on the backs of my hands from the iv holes.. lil bastards.. i hate needles i totally feel for you lynsey
My brother had to do that for an x-ray....he threw it up and had to drink it again..... He pooped out snowmen for 2 days...
yeah, that was my thought too... my grandma's had a coupel odd growths removed, a few from her breasts too. None were cancerous though... a calcium deposit and a cyst. Yes they required surgery and they were worried that it was cancer for a while, but it wasn't and she's ok now I think you're gonna by a-ok Lyns, especially since they're doing all these tests and shit, they're gonna find out exactly what it is pretty soon here
Thanks Cancer would be really bad because we just found out my grandpa who I'm super close with has skin cancer. i can't talk/post about it though it just makes me too upset. But it would be too much for my mom to handle if i have cancer as well.
I had to drink this chalky stuff before I had a gastrointestinal scan (they put a camera up my bum and down my throat) to clean out my innerds, man, that stuff REALLY cleans you out, I think I went to the washroom atleast 25 times overthe course of a day...lord and the noise, I didn't know my anus could produce such tones, braught flatulence to a whole new level of sound but I think your talkin bout another kind of white chalky drink, right?
yes, mine was a bit different. You got the saline solution to clean you out. My solution was just to highlight my organs
They have moved him to a palliative care hostital. It's much more comfortable for him. Thank you for asking.
