My Currents

Rate: 23 Flag

Well the doctor is concerned.. she flat out told me this. They did a blood test and ruled out, Diabetes, (I'm so happy about that!) She ruled out, Liver disease, Kidney disease, infections, (another big relief) she said my white blood cells were great. We are still waiting for the results on the Pancreas and Prostate. She wanted me to get a CT Scan only those people want $1500.00 up front, (it's a 30% discount.) I'm going to get a camera up the butt, (can't spell the word) instead. The doctor recommended one to me. She says the doc will work with you on payment. I mean, I could pay for it, cash.. but I won't if I don't have to.

Anyhow.. she says she is concerned about the cause and I am to because I really thought I was dying last night and really didn't expect to wake up this morning, the pain was so bad.

The doc also told me my blood pressure was high enough that I was in the Stroke range. Tomorrow I begin taking HB pressure pills. I guess I am lucky that I am not dead right this instance. I'm still pretty worried about Cancer, though.. so there you go.

 

I might also add that I have been going through a progression of this pain for nearly 2 months. Now it is mind numbingly, it hurts so bad.

 

If you pray, I could use some about now. -Ric

you covered, man.

what are yr symtoms?

i will diagnose you for a smile.
colonoscopy, baby. up the ass & enjoy it.

pain in the ass, ya got?
All my best wishes and prayers are going to you. Ric get whatever tests they say to do so that you have a long happy life without pain. Take care of yourself.
Deep in the bottom of my stomach, right under the belly button. On a scale of 1 to 10 this is an easy 10. Know how you feel when you do too many sit ups? It's like that but the pain is much sharper. I can also feel something in my side and this seems to be connected, (feels like it somehow.) I can't do the CT scan because I am allergic to the contrast.

Life is a female dog, James.. Thank you also, FA.
Yo Ric, I can dig it. I got the same dance going on. Everyone is concerned but they can't seem to tell you anything.

Nothing but prayers and love Ric..
HUGGGGGG
Geez, it makes my high blood pressure issues this morning look small in comparison. My only advice is, soldier on. When you get to be our age, you can look in the rear view mirror and watch the body parts fall off along side the road. But pain is never good. :(
I just had a CT yesterday to make sure my unwelcome growth had not come back in my tummy. Yes, the contrast is weird. Fingers crossed we both get answers that lead to being well for a long time to come.
Hope you feel better soon, sir.
Sending all the positive vibes I can muster your way, Ric.
Sending up prayers with Love.
Pain is a demanding little b!+(H Ric.
I pray to all the gods for ya. One of them is surely listening.
please know we all care here.
It must be sheer hell trying to go through all this without insurance, Ric. I am praying that the docs identify the underlying cause pronto.

Thanks everybody.. L, it is a challenge going through this without insurance. Everything is so stinking expensive.
Good thoughts and prayers headed your way, Ric.

Ditto for bobbot, and anyone else in need.

Keep us posted when you can, fella.
I will definitely pray for you, Ric. it sounds like you've had an awful time, I'm so sorry, you deserve pain-free, happier, days and nights.
We're struggling with medical bills-- we paid cash for a CT scan this year...I get it. On a side note? The images from a CT scan are very cool to see. Such clarity! High radiation though.
There are certain foods that bond with radiation and take it out of your body faster: here's the ones I recall: apples (the pectin is the active bonding agent), seaweed, dark leafy greens, miso, sesame seeds/tahini...
Good luck to you, keep us posted!
Oh, just noticed you commented you can't do the CT scan...sorry.
Ah gees, Ric. That is just messed up. I'm pretty close by. If you need anything I can help with, give me a shout.
OMG I am sending all my good thoughts and wishes your way today tomorrow and more.
Wishing you the best possible news...and relief soon.
I didn't know you were having this problem but I started praying for you recently. I mean "really" praying. You must be sending out some strong SOS signals. Or, as we Christians like to say, "The Holy Ghost laid it on my heart to pray for Ric's health."

Had you on my list but you just moved to the top.
I will keep you in my prayers also. Just remember to breathe through the pain - it may help. If not, take my courage, love and strength of 10,00o horses as you need it. Be well. Rated with a Jali Smile.
Got you covered from the Flyover States. I put these sticky red dots everywhere to remind me to pray for people. I know that sounds crazy but it works. Prayers and good karma to you and your doctors, Ric. The BP meds should help also.
Ric,
I am sending my good thoughts and prayers your way.
Thank you folks.. everyone. V, nobody knew, I kept it to myself until the pain got to intense for me to take it. Until they find out what is causing it, there is no pain meds for me.
I collect Karma points for doing good deeds. I'm sending them all your way Ric. I hope they turn the tide and you're OK.
We're way to old to keep these things to ourselves Ric.
Thanks for seeing a doctor, for assenting to the backside business & for writing this.
Love to the beautiful other, & to you, good man.

This one's for you my friend
It's a very good idea to have the colonoscopy. Think small! A tiny polyp that could be very painful but benign. I'm going with that. Hang tight, Ric. Being proactive about your health increases your chances for catching some nasty culprit early! And living to tell about it. Please keep us in the loop! Prayers and positive juju coming your way! xoxo
Sending healing thoughts Ric.
I am in so much pain, I can't begin to describe it to you all. I'm not real sure if I am going to make the night without a 911 call.
Prayers on the way my friend!! ~hug for you and your family~
Well I went to the ER, doubled over in pain, had a CT scan and guess what? They can't find ANYTHING to explain why I am hurting so bad. Looks like I get the camera up the butt any how... What a life.
