why is it so damn cold out again? boo :( it was so nice for a few days there. have been trying to get in touch with the doctor's office for the past 2 days. was supposed to get the results yesterday, then first thing this morning, then i lost hope for today because they told me she leaves at 4, then (i have no idea how i missed this call) at 5 she leaves me a message finally and says "don't worry there's nothing wrong, i'll try calling you again monday, we're closed friday for the holiday." that's wonderful and all, having nothing else wrong with me. but i have like a zillion questions that i need to ask her so i can move on with my life. and i still have no answer for the question that brought me to the doctors in the first place, what the hell is causing my back to hurt all the time? it's so frustrating. and then i was talking to someone else on a lj community who also has bile reflux, and she said in her case she was getting bile in her stomach from needing to be on vicodin. so that could be the case with me as well, wtf? why is it that doctors fail to mention any side effects or possible bad outcomes of taking these drugs? i never even knew vicodin caused constipation until i saw a surgeon who told me i was extremely impacted, and this was AFTER going to the emergency room a few days before that and them taking ct scans of my abdomen for extreme abdominal pain that was caused by being so constipated and not even knowing it, and those er doctors didn't know it either! i'm so sick of doctors missing out on telling me things i need to know. i'm going to get a medical book and just start reading about the digestive system. then after that i'm going to read about different drugs. if they're not going to pay attention to their education, i will.
