Well after having a fantastic few days at the WWW show a while back, sitting back in my arm chair relaxing and started to have severe pain at the top of my stomach. I rang the ambos and after throwing up in the sink passed out - I woke to find my son (just home from work) and ambos. After Xrays, blood tests and a lot of pain killer the pain subsided and I was sent home - without a diagnosis, but a suggestion to see my GP and get scans for gallstones.
So on seeing my GP I thought I would get a few other things checked out while I was paying through the nose. After ultrasounds and a heap of blood tests, yes I have gallstones that need to go and some blood results that were a worry. After visits to a few good specialists, MRI and even more blood tests, not only do I have gallstones, but I also have a small tumor on my pituitary gland. Because of the tumor, I cant get the gallstones removed, so now I am off to a endocrinologist specialist next.
I've been doing a far bit of research on the subjects and so far my specialists have been very good, providing plenty of support and advice. It does explain a lot of things I have been experiencing for a while now that I had put down to the generally crappy state of my life, so at least I know there is a real reason.
The tumor affects the way I react and feel, and the thought of the tumor is affecting the way I think, so I know I’m sort of spinning at the moment. I've decided to take a few days off as my job involves making high level decisions and I know I’m not in a good position to make them at the moment.
More shed time at least while I wait for the next stage in the saga.
Cheers
