unico_love | Doctor's Appointment (Reply)

I saw my regular doctor for a follow up appointment today. I have more samples of the acid reflux medication I started, and I do think it helps with certain things. I have an appointment with a different gastrologist for a"second opinion" at my regular doctor's suggestion, but that won't be until January. I guess unless something new and different happens I will just monitor how I feel until then. Though I'm pretty bad at figuring out how I feel until it's severe, and I always get confused even then over what part of my body is the actual problem. I'm guessing that my stomach issues are just a combination of factors, which is why my symptoms are so varied. If the gastrologist really doesn't think it's anything serious or something treatable other than through birth control pills/pain and nausea medication (which, if it is endometriosis, would probably be the treatment I would be given anyway unless it became severe/uncontrollable enough that I would need to resort to surgery), my regular doctor will just give me prescriptions to control the symptoms. As long as I function better, that's fine. Though I have a bad reaction to prescription pain-killers, so even when I feel really awful, I doubt I would want to take those. I've had much better luck with the nausea medications I've been on in the past.

I took Keppra late today and got all confused and agitated:( I need new prescriptions for some things, but that will have to wait until next week, I'm sure.
