"Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink..."
I feel that way this afternoon, only my chant is "symptoms, symptoms everywhere, but not a diagnosis in sight!"
Rich had a CT of his abdomen today to try again to figure out why his BP is still too high (this week ranging from 120's over 94 to 130's over 100). And drum roll please.....NOTHING!
It came back "normal" whatever that means. So, we are back to square one as far as diagnosis is concerned. I don't know. It is just too frustrating for words.
I don't think I could describe exactly how it feels to know that something is wrong and have no name to give it. Even the doctor knows there is something wrong, but simply has no answer as to what "it" is. People just don't go in for surgery with normal blood pressure, come out with outrageously high blood pressure and not have something other than essential high blood pressure! And if that were the only mystery diagnosis we had, it would be one thing, but we still don't have a definitive diagnosis for my health issues either...It is maddening! Grrr, that is all I can articulate regarding my innermost feelings on the matter.
Diagnoses (plural)? Anyone?
