Life's been tought...Medical TMI!
So, I haven't been posting on here as much. You can always follow me on Facebook. I've been posting there like mad...which is why I think its about time I post something on here for once. (its been what....3 months? yeesh)
So, went to Radcon (feb 12-14th) this year, and had a blast, except....yes there is an except...Friday night during the dance I started bleeding (mensus type...no I'm not dying). Didn't think anything of it at first, but 2 weeks later, I was still bleeding. I know!!! WTF, right? The scary part was, it wasn't normal mensus bleeding either, it was that dead, black, end of your freaking cycle so I can get on with my life blood. So, anyways, after scaring the crap outta myself trying to figure out what was wrong by searching all over the internet, checking for side effects of my IUD (Mirena), and everything I could possibly think of that matched my symptoms, I called the doctor...well, doctors. I got to a clinic with multiple doctors in it, so I get my choice of who I wanna see. Nice huh? I had been cramping then for a couple days, and freaking out like crazy. I get there the next day after calling, and they can't figure out what the heck is wrong either. I had an ultrasound the next morning to check on the placement of the IUD, just to be sure it hasn't slipped or anything, and nope. It was perfectly where it was supposed to be. Well, frak! So, what the heck is wrong then, and why the heck am I still bleeding????? The nurse practitioner (yeah...apparently the docs only see you if your prego now...bleah) gave me a prescription for an anti-iflammitory pain med, and said in two weeks if this hasn't improved, that we might consider estrogen therapy. Good thing that is just another lovely pill for me to take for months on end. GRRRRR....
So, anyways, I start taking these lovely little pills, which essentially are like ibuprophen that cause swelling to reduce. And ya know what??? It's apparently working! YAY! *does a happy dance* I've only been taking them now for two and a half days, so who knows. Lets hope this isn't some random fluke of nature. *crosses fingers*
I go back on the 11th of March for a standard regular check up, and will hopefully find out if there is anything else wrong with me....I have a bad feeling this whole thing was just a bad yeast infection gone horribly wrong. I tend to have them so frequently now, I hardly know I have one unless the doc says I have one.
Now the joyous part....
Waiting.
