Update!

Wow it sure has been a long time since I posted anything here.  So for an update, I have been working on my health and found new specialists.  Finally after more than a year I am on the track to good health.  I have had so many tests and gone to so many doctors. During this time I have thought I was imagining the pain and now I know it was all very real.  It seems that my pain is as a result of stomach issues and a fatty liver that is swollen.  I have slow digesting disease, ulcers, IBS, Acid Reflux and some other stomach conditions. I am now on medications and seeing a  nutrition specialist.  I am eating a more balanced, healthier diet and am feeling much better.  I have also lost 15 pounds which makes me 37 pounds lighter than when I met my husband 5 years ago.  I'm very excited about that.
So I think I should touch on the fatty liver disease and hopefully someone will read this and they will avoid having the same issues. I am a diabetic that admittedly did not take care of myself.  As a result I got a lot of fat in my liver and it swelled up. If I don't get the liver swelling down I can end up with liver cancer so I definitely want to fix it before it gets to that point.  Now I know that eating a better diet and losing weight will help reverse this problem
 For background on what went on in the past regarding my health here is some info.  In October 2011 I ended up in the ER with horrible pain on my right side.  I got a CT scan and they discovered my appendix was swollen but not inflamed.  This was actually as a result of 2 trips to the ER in 2 days and 2 CT scans.  They also found I had an ovarian cyst and fibroids.  So a surgeon was consulted and he said that I need my appendix out.  A week later I had that surgery and let me tell you that was the worst recovery ever. I could barely move and it took almost a week to be able to move easily. In December of 2011 I had a full hysterectomy.  That was a breeze and I was up and walking within hours and home the next morning.
After recovering from these surgeries I still had the side pain. I had MRI's, blood tests, a HIDA test, colonoscopy and more.  Nothing showed except a possible cracked rib when I had a chest xray (still never confirmed).  I had a false positive for Hep C but found out I don't have that.  So I decided to go see a highly recommended GI group and I am so glad I did.  Now I finally know why I was ill for so long.
I am still a work in progress but my future is looking better every day.
