it is killing me...what could it be?


Whatever it is, it is killing me! I am not going to diagnose my condition today. But, as I sit here I can hardly type. My shoulders hurt, sometimes my back & hips hurt. I am going to a doctor on Friday but can I wait that long? I am concerned that I might have a serious condition. I am actually OK w/ being ill. I have bipolar disorder & would rather be physically ill any day than mental. Maybe to others that sounds "crazy"--it actually is! I have suffered most of my adult life w/ mental health issues. I have been in many psych hospitals but have never spent a night in a "regular" hospital. I don't want to go to any kind of hospital today.

So, on Friday, I go to a sub-par clinic to get checked by a doctor. I can't guarantee that I will get the answers I need & of course, I probably won't get cured. But, maybe I will be told what is wrong w/ me! I have been suffering for about 3 weeks now. I guess I should have been to a doctor sooner. But, as most of us who don't take care of ourselves well, I have put it off. I am no longer going to listen to my husband's opinion on my health either. He thinks that I can wait because I have no insurance, got to go on a sliding fee. That's OK I guess but the clinic is almost 20 miles away & we have a better facility right here in my hometown. I would be willing to put out my own money to get well!

So, I am sobbing & complaining daily here. Much more will be revealed on here Friday or as late as Saturday! I will hang in here in the meantime.

Kathleen
