Not yet, gallbladder is normal, it's still on and off, today is one of the worst days and it seems to alternate off and on, I have seen 4 doctors and everyone of them tells me one of the following.
"You are too young"
"I don't think you need a scope until you are 40."
"give it another month."
"here let me offer you another script for naproxen and skelatin, even though it isn't working."
"maybe you're depressed? are you feeling depressed is your job stressful" this one is funny, because I promptly told the doctor, would you be depressed if you had pain all the time (For the record, I am not depressed)
then she offered me paxil and I kind of freaked out on her, and I told of course my job is stressful you whore (well I left out the whore) which caused her to essentially accuse me of positioning for pain meds. Then lectured me on how evil they are, of course my intense pain is cool with her. Edit.....my wife just gave birth like 3 months ago, then had surgery a few weeks ago, we have an significant stash of pain meds if I wanted them that badly.
The gastro doc said I was too young for any serious issues and that it might be "in my head"
so maybe I am thinking doctors are just lazy or something, I am about to give up and just live with it, my wife wants me to keep going to others but I am finding it all a huge waste of time and I am kind of sick of feeling like I need to prove to every doc that I am really in pain.

Dr. David Bruce. East side (Mesa, I think?). One of the best doctors I have ever known. Correctly diagnosed my ex-husband with shingles at the ripe YOUNG age of 32. He truly listens to what you tell him, and goes from there.
I was sooo disappointed when he moved to the east side, because it just became too far a drive for me, but he is fantastic. Love him.
See, this is why I dislike doctors -they think they are God. Too young for a scope?? Find a doctor that will give you one. That's the only way to find out what is going on in there.
Doctors freak out at me when I tell them flat out "I'm not taking that medication." Like that neurologist that wanted me to take Naproxen for 3 months - no way. Then he got pissed because I demanded an MRI.

haha, yep. My GI did say there is a small chance like 1% it could be colon cancer. Due to my age it would be really rare, eventhough I have most of the symptoms.
Ok latest update on the Treesquid death watch
Second CT scan with contrast (That dye contrast they shoot into is wild btw) result back.
Looks good! no abdomnial masses, normal liver, spleen, lungs, pancreas, kidneys. No Abdominal anuerysm and several small paraaortic lymph nodes (whatever that means). So if I do have colon cancer looks like it hasn't spread all over, yet.
Looks like I at least have another 5 years of posting left in me.
I had that and was diagnosed with IBS. Usually as long as I watch what I eat and drink it stays away. I completely had to change my diet- stay away from artificial sweetners, microwave dinners, excessive alcohol and fast food.

Cool thx Dibbs, I to have delt with IBS for several years and was diagnosed 6 years ago with it. IBS is lame-o for us that have it, never could go out to eat or anything like that because game over.
This new pain has been constant and about 10 times more painful than IBS cramps (did you have that?), I am beginning to wonder if it is an lingering infection or something like that, because the Cipro helped then it came back a few days later.
Interesting point on the artifical sweeteners, I just started drinking coffee about 5 months ago, and I always use splenda.
The problem (I see it as a half empty thing because I want to know) is every test is coming back perfect. So it's good I am not dead yet, but it sucks not finding the problem.
There seriously have been strings of days where I felt I was being eaten alive from the inside.

Interesting. That may explain why they show lymph nodes in that area. Always trust your gut (no pun intended) instinct. You know your body better than any one else.
You think you'll make it 'till end of June when the Suns hoist their trophy?

Hell yes, even if if am hoisting a crap bag in one hand, I'll have champagne in the other.
Update in case anyone cares. I feel about 2000% better today!!!! This shite is working, I haven't felt this great since early January!
of course the ass bullets I have to put in every night suck. But my sprits are higher than ever, thanks to those who encouraged me to seek out new doctors, I want to murder the one that brushed me off.
