Went to see a nurse today, who booked me instantly into to see the Dr.
They think I have appendicitis, and sent me off for more blood and urine tests.
I've been put on a liquid diet too. :(
Grrrr....I just wanna curl up and die. :crying:

Appendicitis apparently. :ermm:
Shall find out more tomorrow afternoon when I go back to the Dr's.
D'ya think Vodka should be included in a liquid diet? :whistling
I don't see any problem. Alcohol is used as disinfectant, right?Quote:

Have you scanned that hospital for Vampire paraphernilia?
If they cut you make sure they do it nicely
good luck
Sounds a bit nasty, missy. Hope things go okay tomorrow.
Plz 2 get well soon. Maybe they'll remove your appendix soon, if that is indeed the culprit.
As soon as it's gone and they've hooked you up with antibiotics you should be feeling much better in no time. :)
Also, scars are cool, and you get free time to come here n' talk with me, while you recover. :D :score:
Isn't an appendix scar in an almost rude place.
Just wondering :shifty:
That's why she should post some pics asap.
She doesn't need to remove it, she can post pics and we can all try and imagine the scar.
When my friend had appendicitis he had a 2 doctors and 3 trainee doctors put their finger up his arse so they could feel it swollen up :lol: :lol:
edit - all though thats prolly not what you wanted to hear. I hope you're okay though
:lol:
Im sure lilmisss will appreciate your knowledge
I thought your appendix were at the front.?Is your mate sure they were doctors. :shifty: :lol: :lol:Quote:

I hear they can do it through your belly button now! Then you wont have a scar...but scars are cool anyway. Especially the ones with awesome stories behind 'em
Get Well!
That is what they do for prostate problems, not appendicitis.Unless they are really horny. :shifty:Quote:

Nope, they can do that pokey thing with appendicitis too, so let's pray it never happens to us.
And the bellybutton thing requires it to be in relativly good shape to take it out, if it's really inflamed or burst or something you get the scar.
If it's progressed a bit they can only look at it through the bellybutton, can't risk bursting it by taking it out that way, I think.
Good Luck Little Missy.
If it involves scars hope you can use it in your next tattoo.
Don't think Vodka is on though - then I would say that. :shifty:
No, that is how they can check for appendicitis too, unless of course my friend decided to make up the story of 5 doctors sticking thier fingers up his arseQuote:

:eeek: Tanks Dan. :ermm:
I'm positive thats not how they check for it, maybe they were policemen dressed as doctors. :shifty:
Tanks peeps, I think it may just be my beergut expanding.
Wow-what clued you that something was amiss, Lilmiss?
(That was not an attempt to be "punnish") ;)
The lower part of my tum has been aching and cramping alot, I feel sick but I'm not, I've have diarrhea and seem to passing alot of piddle. I feel like I'm burning up when I'm cold to touch too.
All in all, feeling pretty shitty.

If you would even consider drinking alcohol, you don't have it. With appendicitis the body develops a strong aversion to food or drink of any kind. The bowel stops contracting and it would unlikely that you would get diarrhea, more likely vomiting.
Sounds to me like run of the mill inflammation of the intestines. Not pleasant, but not something you need to get an operation for.
BTW, fingers up the bum are not a way to diagnose this condition. You might do this in a male to look for inflammation of the prostate. The appendix is far from the anus.
get lilmiss to the hospital! http://www.mcbriens.net/liam/img/smilies/stretcher.gif
sorry I just felt like posting that smiley
Been checked for urinary tract infection? Appendicistis..you'd have a temp, I think. Hobbes is quite right. If they suspected that, you'd have been checked in to the hospital,,they wouldn't want to chance a burst appendix.
Hope you feel better lilmiss..sounds like a real drag.
Oh ffs, it's a way to make sure it isn't something else, sometimes they have to check if it isn't something else, and one way to do it is to stick their fingers up someone's bum.Quote:

A link, please to note what the exam will entail.
They won't have to do it if they are absolutely certain, but it's a fairly common practice when they are not.
And her symptoms were prolly too vague to keep her there on the off-chance that it was appendicitis, and she was due to go back for more tests, it doesn't mean that it absolutely can't be what affects her, tho' her last description makes me guess it's something else.
The good news is they didn't stick their fingers up me bum.
Oh no, they went elsewhere. :pinch:
My urine test came back negative, but my blood is showing some kind of infection. The swab results are due back in a week, but if I get any shooting pains, I've been told to go hospital. They don't think it is appendicitis, but just in case.
They have given me 2 courses of anti-biotics to take, one 3 times a day and the other twice.
Now....how do I change the title of this thread to, "I'm a pill popper." :shifty:
Pm a mod? :unsure:
Glad you got something for it, and hey, be glad it isn't cancer.
:lol: They don't know what it is yet, but I'm allowed to eat again. :01:
The nurse who did the internal, asked if someone had forced themself on me as my cervix is red raw. :ermm:
I'm meant to be at a poker night, tonight.
Hmmmm.....

Hungry btw? If I was you I'd be eating like there was no tomorrow the second they let me eat again.

My God Daughter and pal are both suffering from carbon monoxide poisioning.
Not been a good week at all, really.
Maybe he meant you got pokered already, and that's why...
Wait, you were replying to manker there, and not to biggles's post and that's why... and the :w00t: was for the the, oh yeah.. :blushing:
Glad to hear there won't be any cutting up to do... Never trust these surgeons, they're always wearing masks... :fear:
And, for your information, there are some words that are not to be pronounced around men-folk, cervix is one of them. :crying:
Big red inflamed raw cervix. :shifty:
It was even worse after she prodded it.
Meep.
So, whats for dinner? :whistling
Fish sticks, I hate fish sticks. :dry:
