So after various appointments with the doc and multiple blood tests, he's come to the conclusion that I don't have pancreatitis. Thank the gods for small mercies. Pain had pretty much gone since stopping the meds, but the nausea is still there to a certain degree. Am managing food, but still feel rather off, even after the maxalon. Have to get antoher ultrasound done on Monday morning, which means more time off work, just to confirm that it isn't pancreatitis, even though he's already decided it isn't. Then have to go get yet more blood tests (will be the fourth lot in a week) and poop in a jar to rule out infection. Downside to that is I'm still having the varying swings between constipation and diarrhoea. Fingers crossed I can poop on cue hey?

Very worried about work. Doctor ordered me off work last week, and as I'm a temp/on a contract I had to ring in every day (not to mention not get paid for it). By Friday the boss seemed a little bit on the cold side. Doc seemed to be about to order me off work for the coming week too, until I told him I'd probably lose my job if he did that. Still seems rather not happy with the idea of me being at work, but what can I do about it? It's work now and maybe save my job, or not work now and possibly not work for quite some time, and with no savings, that's just not an option.

Oh, also was mentioned that the doc will try again for Humira seeing as the 6mp failed. Theoretically they can't turn me down, but we'll see. It is the government after all.

Anyway, I'm off to find my anti-spew drugs in an attempt to shut my stomach up. Hope everyone is well.

Yep. OJ definitely better the first time.

Managed to drag myself in to work today, though only for a few hours. The back and the pain just below the ribs was really playing up, difficult to move, difficult to walk, hurts to breathe..... Then there's the nausea. While I have no idea what's causing the other random pains, I'm fairly sure the nausea is a result of the 6mp. Spent a while dry retching this morning at work, which the boss commented on when I asked if I could come home. He also seems understanding of the meds, which is great. I believe his wife has some sort of arthritis and she's had the fun of all the hoops to jump through too.

Have had my weekly blood tests done, mum drove me, and have had everything that was in my stomach (ie one glass of oj) come back up. It's not often I have stuff come up, normally I just spend the day running and dry retching, which is actually possibly worse, but yeah. Just feeling very rotten with it all.

Had a red bull this morning. Promptly started falling asleep. Some sort of indication that I'm tired perhaps?

Managed to make an appointment to see the GI tomorrow arvo, so hopefully he'll have some idea as to what's wrong and even more hopefully, how to fix it.

Upside to all of this? ..... Actually still trying to work that one out. Will let you know when I've figured it out.

Don't feel as though I've whinged as bad as usual today. Feels good.
