Going to the Dr.
Well I called my Dr. this morning and I have an appt. at 10:30 this morning. I'm not sure what is wrong, but I've been having this very uncomfortable pain, in the middle front of my body, right under my right boob! It kept me awake for awhile early this morning, so I thought I'd better go get it checked. I'm always afraid it's going to be the "C" word so I put off going!! I think this could be a (and I don't know how to spell it) Hienal Hernia. From what I've read it happens a lot with those who suffer from GERD and that's me!! A couple of weeks ago, I thought I had just pulled a muscle or something, but it's gradually getting worse. So I'll be off to the Dr. here in a few minutes.

Back from the Dr.!!! First off, it wasn't hurting when I when in, wouldn't ya know? Even when he pressed on it, it didn't hurt. But it hurt for a while on the way home....go figure!!
I asked him about the hernia (?) and he said it sounded very much like it, by what I decribed. I am to start taking the aciphex (for the GERD) again, because it will help with the hernia, if that is what it is. I am to try it for a week and see how I feel, and then check back with him when the meds are gone. If it doesn't help, we will start doing some tests. I also sat and cried about my weight. He knows how many "diets" I've been on, saw me lose, saw me gain. Then we both realized it had been 2 years since my thyroid has been checked. My drier skin, tiredness, and inability to lose weight can all stem from my thyroid. I will know late tomorrow afternoon what the results are. I sure hope something can happen to help me!! Thanks Rebecca for the well wishes. You are one on here that I know will always be on my side and wishing me well!!! I luv ya girlfriend!!!

I am SOOOO glad to hear that it isn't anything serious and that your doctor is working with you not only on your potential hernia and GERD, but that he is also taking the steps to help you with your weight. Please keep us updated!!!!!! Your doctor sounds like a nice man who you can trust and confide in.

He and his nurse both encouraged me NOT to be so down on myself about my weight. That even if I was doing everything 100% right, if my thyroid meds need adjusted, it still wouldn't help that much. The thyroid can screw it up big time. So....I'll know more tomorrow.
