I have been complaining a lot on the Room to Rave and Rant and Need advice now forums, now however I think this may be the place for me. See in January I had C. Diff, then I always had this lower abdominal pain and it turned out I'd had fluid in my abdomen for quite some time, when they aspirated it, it turned out to be blood. Then they did a follow up CT and determined it was likely a ruptured ovarian cyst, since I currently have two, one outside and one in, one 2.6 x 4 cm and one 4.4x4.6cm, so I don't know if that's big, but they're painful. I've been out of work for the last six months (Tried to go back multiple times but always ended up sicker and back in the hospital) thinking my J-pouch was leaking or something awful like that. Now it turns out I've just lost more time to an illness that's completely different than the one I've had before, and I find myself struggling with the depression of it all.
I don't have a colon, and now I might have polycystic ovary sydrome (like my mom, aunt, and sister do) and might not be able to have babies (like my aunt). So that's what I lie around all day thinking about, the pain is pretty bad so I limit my activity to stuff around the aparment, but even then I don't get anything too productive done (like cleaning, which my boyfriend would love) it's mostly stuff like, get up, take meds, lie back down. Or get up, make food, lie back down. Even showering is standing up long enough to make me feel nauseous and weak. And this is now a hormonal issue, which will obviously affect my mood, anyone know a good home remedy for craziness that I can use until I have insurance again?
