Date: Mar. 10, 2004 Time: 2:18 AM My current mood is: Barfing up my stomach Today I went to a gastrointestinal specialist. He said he thinks I have a hatial hernia, which after looking it up online, basiclly means I puked some of my stomach up into my esophogus!!! EWWW! I'm having an X-ray of my gallbladder taken and they're going to stick a tube down my throat to check out what's going on inside. Yummy. The annoying thing though, was when I brought up about the IBS. I told him my symptoms, and he was like yeah ok, then changed the subject. I was like do you think I should get tested?? He's like there's no test for IBS, eat a bowl of bran everyday. Ok first off, I can't eat bran cause of the IBS!! If I did that I would be in severe pain! So he's like oh, just try to eat more fiber. Bah. You know, what the fuck. IBS symptoms can mimic many other digestive problems, I wanted him to at least take some interest in this! First my doctor doesn't give a shit, then this guy doesn't give a shit...COME ON! Can I get some decent health care please? The way to check for IBS is that you rule out all other posibilities first. Whatever. Jon was sweet to me as usual, he came to my house and took me to the GI specialist cause he knows I hate going to the doctors alone :) We spent the day together, and I even confided in him that I'm on a diet. We had a talk about stuff, and it felt so good, I felt so close to him actually telling him what was on his mind. He told me that he wants to know these things because he cares, I'm still worried about him being worried about me. I hate when people worry about me, I just want everyone to think I'm perfectly fine at all times. But the things is, I actually told him I felt like that. I dunno, it was just a really nice moment type of thing. I bought a new algae eater today! I hope he survives...he's in with my African Cichlids.
