I just found out that I have gall stones. It wasn't all that great and exciting, but I was happy that I finally found out what has been wrong with me. I had symptoms like nausea and some diarrhea after eating out (which alwasys sucked if I was out on a date or out with friends...seriously, it's totally not fun to say excuse me to your date and then disappear off to a public restroom or worse--his bathroom). I finally had my first attack and actually pushed away and got snappy at my boyfriend for trying to cuddle me becuase I was feeling so much nausea. I didn't have pain in this one. It was about a week later I ended up crying from both pain and nausea. It was the worst feeling in the world. After a lot of pleading with me, my boyfriend got me to get into bed and to fall asleep. Over the course of the next few days, I felt like crap. I was tired, tender, and felt sick....actually, I still am feeling this way and it's been like a month since my first attack. I have felt what I have been considering minor attacks since then that occur about once a week. Since being diagnosed, I have to wait two weeks to even talk to a surgeon (I still have about a week to go). I am just breaking down from feeling like crap constantly. I love my job, but it's very high stress, so I know that it's not really helping out the situation. I'm a sexual assault therapist, so I have to fake not feeling like crap while I'm sitting with my clients, which is not always easy. Does anyone have any advice on how to cope with all of this waiting??? And is there something I can do to stop feeling so tired and sick and tender all of the time??? I would really appreciate anything!
