Belly Woes

I've been blogging on two blogs every day for over a week, and while I am proud of that, I have to admit that I am doing it partially because I haven't felt like doing a whole lot else. I mentioned going in to drink barium so that I could find the source of my upset stomach a few posts ago, but it never showed a reason for my severe stomach pain and nausea. It also didn't fix the problem.
So, today I went in for a HIDA Scan to evaluate my gallbladder. Don't laugh, but the first part of this test was actually kind of fun. I got to lay on a table in a nice quiet room with a really soft pillow under my head and a very comfortable wedge pillow to prop my legs up on. All I had to do was lay there for an hour while the camera scanned my abdomen. I had the best nap!
After an hour, the technician had to give me another injection that lasted six minutes- I think it was to expand or contract the gallbladder. Whatever it did, those six minutes sucked. A lot. Seriously, I can cross having my internal organs ripped from my body and set on fire off of my to-do list, because I already know what it feels like. FYI: it does not feel good.
I know this is just too much information to share, but I am so frustrated with feeling so sick and not knowing why. This is something that has flared up multiple times, and it sucks to be so well acquainted with something and not have a NAME for it.
And while there are several blood tests pending, I have this feeling that I will once again be loaded up with antacids and told to take hot baths, smell a rose and hope for the best.
