Un nouveau diagnostique: l’appendicite chronique et une opération prévue pour janvier 2026…
I have an appointment with a surgeon tomorrow. He says he treats chronic appendicitis. He asked to see my imaging results up front, but I don't know whether that's the only thing he'll want to look at or if he'll be more willing to read between the lines than the last one.
I already have another appointment set after this one with someone that I'm more confident will be willing to help, so it's not the end of the world if this one isn't, but I'm still afraid of being rejected again.
I have chronic appendicitis (or at least that's my belief. It's difficult to test for) and I've met several dogs who seem particularly interested in sniffing at the right side of my belly, right where it hurts.
Of course it's quite possible that (a) the dogs can tell I'm a bit protective of that area and they're wondering what's going on, (b) I notice them sniffing there in particular because I'm especially focused on it, and/or (c) my lower abdomen happens to be right about nose level for a large dog standing next to me or a small dog laying in my lap, but sometimes I wonder if they can actually smell that there's something wrong.
Why are ads for medicines a thing in the US? (I know, money, lobbying… but seriously why have we allowed this?). Prescription drug ads are especially weird because you can't buy them without permission from a doctor (who in theory should be more knowledgeable about what would help in your specific case than you who just watched an ad), but honestly, I’m not sure we should have ads for over-the-counter drugs either.
It especially sucked when I first got sick and suddenly started getting tons of those kind of ads. I spent a lot of time reading online about chronic appendicitis (the condition I believe I have) and a number of other conditions that my doctors had suggested it might be, so those advertising algorithms figured out pretty quickly that I was having tummy trouble and suddenly my escapist entertainment was frequently being interrupted with attempts to sell me a profitable solution (but not the solution I need).
X-ray and Ultrasound say that it’s a hip abnormality
There’s suspicion of chronic appendicitis instead of acute
So that’s a big ass bummer
Me: I wish I could strangle the testicles of the doctors who didn't believe me (when I had chronic appendicitis and my adhesions strangled my bowels)
Nurse Practitioner: Ooh that sounds fun! [Smiles and laughs]
