UPDATE Have to seek medical care tomorrow

Last edited Fri May 17, 2024, 08:29 AM - Edit history (1)

Saw an actual MD. We talked my urine had no blood, she doesn't think its a kidney stone bowels sounded good. Could have taken x rays but were taking a wait and see if it continues comes back..



Dreading it. Been getting to start, left pain on side. Started Sunday. Thought it was gas and kept hoping itd go away. Stomach rumbling sometimes. Pain also now reaching down to crotch areas.

Have bad white coat syndrome and three ppl have told me about their cancer diagnosis. I'm doing the right thing, I know, but still worried af. Seemed to be going away but its not.

Wish me luck. Always waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm 58 and mother died of cancer at 60..

I understand White coat syndrome. My partner has it. It's especially frustrating because we have chronic illnesses and doctors are stupid when it comes to that.

I'm hoping that it's something easy and all they have to do is give you some Gas-X or something hang in there...
Please consider taking a friend or someone with you to hold your hand so you're not alone.

I always announce it. Sometimes they understand and sometimes they will redo BP as if it will magically change. They hate to have a patient with that kind of number in their chart.
