I’m laying here in bed, just after 8:31 AM, having only got to sleep around 4:30.

In 4 hours we’re heading off to see the Specialist Professor, 100 km away, about my mystery liver disease.
I’ve packed a bag in case he wants to admit me to the hospital to run his own tests.
The washing is done, the bills are all up to date, yesterday I even stitched on buttons, reinforced seems, and hemmed pj’s to take with me.
We have been buying herb plants and I even potted out some more yesterday, making a little garden on our upstairs bbq table.
Then when I tried to sleep last night, the terrible, groin to ankle, leg cramps started, so I stayed up until I was so tired I was losing my balance.
I am putting all my faith in this new Specialist, praying for answers and the help I need to get me over this new obstacle.
I am so very angry with the local, ‘so called’, Specialist who sent me home, 3 years ago, telling me I had Diverticulitis, nothing you can do for that, so change your diet and take Osmolax every day.
From then on, every time I sought help for the pain in my upper abdomen I was told it’s probably your Diverticulitis, there’s nothing we can do for you. Even the hospital sent me home when my former GP tried to get me admitted for more tests.

Yes, I’m getting so mean I am sure I could take a bite out of the next person who is so blasé with my life.

Thank you all so very much for all your messages of support, I would try and answer every one individually but every time I sit at my computer I start having micro-sleeps and just can't stay awake as long as I need to.

I would update this post with my news but I always find it a hassle trying to add to the original message , so I will start a new post if I can stay awake long enough.
HUGE HUGS and Roses to all, xxxxxx Meg

Dear Megan, you have the right to be angry. Some doctors just put a patient off.... I am glad you have the courage to ask needed questions. Prayers are said for you..

Meganne, You are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this frustrating time. You have a right to be upset. Sometimes that what it takes to get someones attention. I know exactly what you are going through right now. I also spent two years going through this test and that test and being told it was all in my head! It wasn't until I went outside of the local medical area (I now go 2.5 hrs to a specialist.) that I finally found some answers and the correct treatment. Praying you find a wonderful caring specialist who will listen and find out what is going on with you. Hugs.

I am so sorry you are having so much pain...and misdiagnosis..I think it is easy to latch on to something, and not investigate further..no excuse for it. I truly pray that this specialist is the one who can help you..Please keep us posted.

Meganne, Sometimes Dr.'s think no matter what their opinion is it written in stone, and should never be questioned, BUT the truth of the matter is they are just people like the rest of us with a (smart) degree after their name that makes them think they are GREAT!!! I will be Praying for you and will tell Maggie so she can be praying also!!! Love ya Girl, Chin up and Go With Jesus!!! Hugs, Judy...

Meg, be as mean or mad as you want if it gets you through the pain, until maybe some doctor sees it's because of the on going pain and really takes time to sort this out. Hate you are having to go through this.....

Meg, I hope you get this time to a good, honest doctor.
I’m sure it is not easy to be a doctor, so many thins you need to know and think about. But that is why you have doctors and specialist. Those who should know a bit more about a part of our complicated body. And also I would be able to understand if they would say, sorry I really do not know. Instead of checking some vital things, give you the bill and a sort of see you next time. There should be more of those guys like the tv serie of ‘dr house’ who look for it untill they find it.
Good luck !

So sorry you are going thru this. And REALLY sorry the doctors have passed you around! I have a friend that said doctors call it their practice..cause that's what they are doing: practicing on you. He has an unusual disease. But praying this time will be the cure all!

Oh Meg I have had those feet to groin cramps both sides at one time. I remembering falling in the floor because it was impossible to stand and literally screaming from the pain. Been a long long time ago, but remember being scared it would happen again and instructed hubby to call an ambulance if it did. Dr gave me some pills and told me when I felt it coming to take one. I actually found heat helped . for years have always kept a hot pad near me. If a cramp starts I slap that on high and wrap my leg in it. I hope they can find out your problem and fix it. That is the worst pain I can think of. I'm praying.

I am staying out of your way. Do not want to get bitten.
Fun aside because I am sure you do not feel like joking. I am so sorry you have to go through this. I only hope that they can find the cause. I keep on praying for you. In the meantime I can only send cyber hugs and prayers. Hugs
P.S. Love your herbs.
