A New Month is Here!! Yay!!

Buh bye October. This month sucked...was horrible and I am glad to see it leave. It's crazy to sit here and try to type as the main reason as to why the month was yucky, yet it's difficult to do when you really don't know. I'll try...in a nutshell.
It all started a month ago on my birthday (Sept. 17) when I was sick and nauseated all day. After a couple of days of this I assumed I had a stomach bug, yet after a week of feeling sick every time I ate anything I went to the doctor. My doc thought maybe it was pancreatisis (sp?) and gave me medication to try to help, plus drink lots of water and take an antacid pill every morning. More time went by and still no results and now I got to deal with a horrible pain on my right side.
I then went to a gastroenterologist who ordered me to undergo an upper and lower GI to see what those tests showed. In the meantime I'm told to take pain meds and try to go on my merry way while not able to eat and now in excruciating pain. Twice I made trips to the ER since I just knew my appendix or something was going to burst in my side, but I was informed that the cat scans show nothing is wrong with my inner organs. Frustrating to know end!!!
I finally have my upper and lower tests (loads of fun...did I mention that I asked the doctor if I had a cute a** while groggy from medicine? I know...nice!) and they finally revealed what possibly could be wrong. Due to lack of fiber in my system I've developed diverticulitis and suffer from gastritis. It was nice to be told what could be wrong, yet extremely disappointing when my Dr. says, see you in two weeks to go over test results. Continue with pain meds and increase your fiber is all that he said. This I did and after five days I FINALLY became pain free and feel much better. Not perfect, but better.
