Sheila
Oh Sheila *huggle* Get the heat pad and try to relax. I know it's hard but it
Sheila I know how panicked you are right now & you are wise to try & slow your breathing.....panic feeds on itself. Your daughters MRI could mean MANY things, many of which are NOT life threatening. I never in my life heard of an OB/GYN say they didn't like to see them naked for the first time - that is just bizzare!! I would bypass him & go straight to the after hour clinic if she is still in pain. & nbsp; I am sooo sorry you're having sucha time of it - remember He won't give us more than we handle.....I just know it! You have to keep telling yourself that.
Hang in there baby...I'm praying for you!
Lulu
What does nbsp mean? I keep seeing it.
Sheila; hang in there sweetie. Lulu's right. The good lord never gives us more than we can handle. We love you.

Hi Sheila,
I am sorry to hear that things are going so badly with you and your family. I wish there was something I could do for you.
LuLu is right. You need to try and keep yourself pulled together and focus on the problems at hand. DON'T let stress take over your body and influence your thinking ability. You need to start saying to yourself that this is enough and work toward getting you and your family on the right path.
First... If your daughter is still having extreme pain, please take her to an Emergency Room, to be look at...they can make arrangements with you to make payments to them.
Second:...You call back to the OB/GYN office and you demand to see another doctor. And by all means you explain to them what the doctor said to you, you then tell them that you "Where not at all happy with his attitude" and that you want to have your daughter seen by another doctor. If they give you any guff about getting another appointment, then you mention to them "How sure you are that the Medical Board would be quite interested in hearing why the doctor would not look of your daughter". And then call the Medical Board.
I know you are scared about the MRI showings. But I have found in my life time that it is better to cross that bridge when you come to it. The last MRI I had showed some abnormalities too. then when they looked over it again, they found I had a sinus infection. I am not de-emphasizing the possibilities that something serious could show up but what I am trying to also say, is that sometimes there other explanation for the abnormalities that are not serious.
Try and keep your chin up and beleive in yourself that things ARE going to straighten out.
I am keeping you and your family in my prayers and I hope that you and your family are feeling better soon.

It's a code for "a space".
Hang in there Sheila. I hope that today is better for you and your family. I'm sorry you are having a hard time now.
Sheila, Everyone has given you good advice especially try to calm yourself. I definitely notice my pain gets worse when I get worked up. Take those deep breaths, darvocett and go back to hospital if you need to. I am so glad I finally went to clinic. It may not stop the pain but it gives you a much needed break.
Lovie, I was also wndering about nbsp but now it still does not make sense it that context.
Sending you good thoughts Sheila.
The nbsp pops up by itself whenever I juggle with the enter key???????? Don't know why...sorry!
Lulu
ok now I get it. I thought you put it in there like my favorite. LMAO((((((((((Sheila)))))))))))
I am so sorry for everything that is going on I agree with the others on the advice that they have given you. I do have one question and excuse me guys if you are reading this, is your daughter, Amber, on her menses or close to it? The reason why I ask is it may sound like she has endometriosis. I haven't been on the boards of lately, due to work, but if the pain is coming near or during that time she could have endo. I went through that most of my life, so that is why I asking. meme
I'm so sorry Sheila, I would not return to that OBGYN.....he sounds "messed up". That is absurd to not see a patient in pain and his reason is way too weird. I would call the insurance and file a grievance and asked to be assigned a new DR immediately so she can be taken care of. Like the other's said go to the ER today if need be. You have got way too much stress coming at you from every direction, can your husband help?
Sheila,
my I'm so sorry to hear but just as what was said before, I would
definately report that OB/Gyn and take her to a different one or to the
emergency room. I'm also so sorry to hear that you're in so much
pain but it's true that stress can bring out ten-fold. I just
wish I could come there and give you a big gentle hug.... Just
remember also what was said before God doesn't give us more than we can
handle even though it may not seem like it sometimes. SHEILA...SO SORRY EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE HITTING THE FAN AT ONCE. YOU SOUND LIKE YOU ARE HAVING A BAD RA FLARE. ON YOU ON MEDS OR CAN YOU AT LEAST GET PREDNISONE FROM YOUR MD? I HAVE NEVER HEARD A OB/GYN SAY THEY DON'T LIKE TO SEE PATIENTS "NAKED" ON THE FIRST VISIT EVEN THO SHE WAS IN PAIN, THEY COULD HAVE DONE AN ULTRASOUND TO SEE IF SHE HAS ENDOMETRIOSIS OR A CYST. I WENT THROUGH THAT, WAS DIAGNOSED AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE HOSPITAL AND PREPPED FOR SURGURY. AS FOR CARRIE'S MRI, WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY SAW "ABNORMALITIES." LEGALLY THEY ARE FORBIDDEN FROM COMMENTING ON RESULTS AS THIS IS ONLY ALLOWED BY THE READER OF THE X-RAY, THE RADIOLOGIST. DON'T WORRY TILL IT'S ACTUALLY READ. HOW LONG DID THEY SAY IT WOULD TAKE?? IS AMBER STILL HAVING SEVERE PAIN TODAY?? BOTH OF YOU SHOULD TAKE SOME PAIN MEDS AND CRAWL BACK IN BED AND JUST REST. YOU BOTH NEED A FOLLOW UP APPTS. WITH ANOTHER DOCTOR!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU GIRL...I'LL SAY A PRAYER FOR YOU. THINGS WILL GET BETTER. LOVE AND HUGS TO YOU SHEILA!! KEEP US POSTED. Hey all my good friends. It is quiet again in the house.Amber has been asleep all day,no stomach pain so far.I am gonna get her taken care of tom. first thing.I have endometriosis,I kno whow bad it can hurt.I have 1 ovary left and still fear the endo. will come back. Carrie has been up for awhile then went back to sleep about an hour ago.No eye pain so far but she has been sick to her stomach. I talked to my mother in law just now.She said I could have the shingles.What I have read about it it sure sounds like it could be.Anybody know much about it? I wish I could reach out through this screen and hug you all.This morning after my husbnad went to work(his a fireman)I just broke down.I called my inlaws and asked them to put me and the girls on their prayer list at church,then I broke down and cried.I don't even want to call my family,especially my mother,she finds pleasure in others misery,if that makes since.She is of no comfort to me.So after I called and spoke to my father in law I posted a message to you all. Right now I am calmer but still in pain.Drugs are dulling the pain some but mainly calming me down.As long as I stay pressed up against the heating pad and don't move I can stand it. Well I am gonna head back to my big comfy chair,heating pad and blanket.I will post again tom. after I talk to some dr.'s about my girls and myself.
Sheila SHEILA, SHINGLES ARE A REACTIVATION OF THE CHICKEN POX VIRUS (HERPES ZOSTER) THAT LIES DORMANT IN YOUR NERVE ROOTS. YOU HAVE FEVER, SENSITIVITY TO LIGHT AND USUALLY DEVELOP BLISTERS SIMILAR TO CHICKEN POX THAT FILL WITH PUS THAT START OUT ON THE BACK OF THE NECK AND SPREAD. IF YOU DON'T SEE ANY UNUSUAL ON THE SKIN, SHINGLES IS DOUBTFUL. THEY CAN BE ACTIVATED BY VIRUS, LOWERED IMMUNE SYSTEM, ETC. THIS IS THE LAST THING YOU NEED SO WE'LL PRAY YOU HAVE NOTHING OF THE KIND. JUST REST TODAY AND GET TO FEELING BETTER! Hey all my friends. Well it is Monday.We made it without anyone going to the er. Carrie is ok,no eye pain today.Should get appt. with Neurosurgeon today.Be glad to get in and see him as soon as possible. I found Amber another gyn to see.I called the quack that she saw last week and complained to the office manager about how she was not examined and no tests were done.She told me that Amber did have a urine test.I was pretty sure Amber said they didn't do anything.Called Amber at work and she called this mixed up office manager and told her she didn't have any urine tests and not to mix her file up with anyone elses. Let me tell you the last few days of dealing with neurologists,neurosurgeons,pa's,gp's ....I am about worn out. I am going to see my gp today at 4 to try and figure why I am hurting so much.Unfortunately his xray machine is not working.It's crazy.Our dr. is in with a group called Eagle's Physicians.They are a large group of dr.'s that have seperate offices specializing in different medicine.They refer you out to the specialist within their team.I am finding out this is not a good thing.The gyn was recommened by our gp for Amber.He turned out to be a disappointment and his medicla staff is very unreliable.Then I go to the walk in clininc with this group of dr.'s sat.No xrays were done but I was given pain meds. and muscle relaxers.Then was told to go see my gp Mon. and have an xray,which now I can't cause their machine is broke.Can you even keep up with this mess.I can't?
Well, let's see if today gets any better.I wish I had some chocolate.
