I HATE DOCTORS

I have been having a lot of problems with my stomach. In 2007, when I was down to 54 pounds my gastro Doctor, Dr. Keiff was too fixated on my weight no thinking it was just an eating disorder. I happen to run into a ER doctor who knew a lot about celiac disease. He slid me into a clinic he was opening for people who were addicted to narcotics. He went through my entire records and figure out my gastrid gland was over active as well as having gastropresis. This pissed off the gastro Doctor I was seeing. I was able to put the weight back on within two months. The ER Doctor gave my gastro the treatment plan for me. Well he didn't like that. I didn't really have much of a problem with my stomach after that until a year ago when I got my appendix out. 

In 2013, I went to the urgent care thinking I had a really bad stomach flu. I had a fever of 107 degrees, vomiting and severe lower stomach pain. They did an ultrasound and found it was my appendix, so at 6:00pm I was rushed in an ambulance to the hospital for surgery. 
A couple of months after my surgery I started getting pain by my belly button. I started noticing I had low grade fevers. I thought maybe I had diverticulosis because when I ate popcorn or nuts it made it hurt. Then I started noticing my stools went from dirhea to more of a constipation type stool. Then 5 months from the surgery I started noticing my stools becoming really black. 
I put up with the pain and discomfort, but after a year it got really bad. Once I finished college I thought it's a perfect time to figure out what is going on especially because the exhaustion is really really bad.

In January of 2016 I had a severe period. The bleeding lasted 4 weeks. I had to change a pad every hour it was so bad. I haven't had a period for over 9 years,so this was alarming. I ended up having to take medication to stop it. After a week of medication it stopped. I went to my OBGYN thinking maybe this could be endometriosis. The OBGYN PA was really concerned. She thought it could be cervical cancer, especially because my blood work didn't look very good. They went In and did a biopsy and everything came out okay. 

I went back to my gastro and he didn't want to deal with me. It has been ten years since I have seen him.  He sent me to U of M. 

In July, I went to U of M. The gastro Doctor there didn't understand why they sent me to him when they didn't do any tests. He didn't even think I have celiac disease. He felt I just had IBS which isn't a condition it's a diagnoses when a Doctor doesn't want to deal with figuring it out or doesn't know what it is. Too many people are misdiagnosed.  He ordered me an endoscopy, ct scan and bone density and blood work. He only did that to make me happy. 

I did all those tests. The endoscopy showed there was inflammation do damage to the small intestine and stomach. The Ct scan showed that my upper part of my digestion system is packed with stool and the other half looks like it is working okay. They told me this is normal and I am just constipated. If I was just constipated then why isn't the whole intestine upper and lower not be full too. Doesn't this who I have some sort of blockage. My primary care doctor thinks I have two problems going on. One problem is there is scare tissue that is causing a blockage and the other is the mystery at this moment. 

Anyways, the U of M Doctor wanted to get a rectal test to test the muscle. I don't understand why he doesn't want to do a colonoscopy or a capsule camera test. Let's waste my time no body energy when this would tell us more what is going on then swallowing barium which I can't do. 

I gave up on the U of M Doctor because he never called me back and I don't see him until February. 
My primary care doctor ordered a fecal stool test to see if I do have bleeding going on. He felt it would come out normal. well it didn't. They came out positive. My blood work also shows there is bleeding going on as well. So my primary Doctor sent me for a second opinion. The office he sent me to was one I saw way back in 2006. Dr. Janardian. I saw Dr. Janardian twice and hated him. He was mean, sexists, barely could speak English and was only in the room for 2 minutes. He had a horrid bedside matter. I can take a bad bedside matter if I feel they are smart and know what they are doing. He didn't know much about Celiac Disease. He told me barley was fine to eat. It's not. There was other things he said about celiac disease you aren't suppose to eat or do. 

The last week of July The office called me to schedule the appointment. I told the scheduler I don't want to see Dr. Janardian. They told me just to tell the PA. What? I don't want to see a PA. Well, you have to see the pa first before you see the doctor. I was thinking that's cool that way you could get in to see the doctor faster because the pa determines how soon you need to see him. Well I was wrong. I couldn't get in to see the pa until Sept 27. Then I will be schedule to see the doctor. That will be another month wait. That's crazy.

sept 27 came. I saw the PA and she was a bitch. I told her I didn't want to see Dr. Janardian and would like to see someone else in the practice. She said, "I have to ask Dr. Janardian if you are allowed to see someone else." What? Are you kidding me. I have the right to see who ever I want. She tells me he is in the office today. She leaves the room and then comes back in. She tells me that they can't help me. I was so pissed. I wasted my time and money to get attitude. 

You don't know how much I just want to give up. I hate doctors so much. I guess our only option now is go to Cleveland Clinic.
