Woke at 7:00 to my alarm. Got out of bed around 7:25. Ate a slice of apple and took tincture and oregano pills. Had a soft BM and left for work at 7:45. Walking a feel aching in my pelvis in both hips/ovary areas but moreso on the right.
Work in the morning went fine. No nausea at all. Ate a banana and drank ginger tea. Went for a 15min walk at 9:45 still aching in pelvis but manageable. Ate a digestive cookie.
At 12:15 I walked three blocks to watch daughter sing at city hall, feeling quite sore in pelvis and mid-right side at belly button level and a bit of back ache same height. Walked three blocks back at 12:45, picked up a chicken teriyaki bento box from azuma.
All afternoon my pelvis, flank, and back were hurting no matter which position I was in and seemed to be getting worse. At 2:45 I went for another 15min walk but the pain only increased. I took a Tylenol when I got back to work and left work early at 3:25 to bus to the hospital.
I was really worried that the pain I was feeling was not going away no matter what position I was in and I was concerned that my appendix or ovaries were going to burst or that something was being strangulated inside me and I didn’t want to be alone with the kids if that happened.
Got the hospital by 4:00, had intense pelvic pains on both sides and right flank pain that went around to my back. Had bloodwork and urine sample. Was called in at 7:00. Blood and urine normal but abdominal exam really hurt in right lower quadrant to the point of tears. Had an IV started with 2L of saline, 1g of acetaminophen and waiting for medical nagging to get another CT scan done. Given Toradol at 8:15. Had CT at 8:40. Was told at 10:00 my ct was totally normal and perhaps I should try stool softeners. Was given the report and discharged. I feel so crushed. I’m glad it’s not my appendix and that nothing in my abdominal cavity is inflamed, that is reassuring. It makes me think maybe it really is endometriosis and maybe I shouldn’t have stopped taking the progesterone cream...
Busses home. Got home at 10:45. Had a hot shower and went to bed. Did not take PM tincture/oregano pills.
Got up again at 11:45 I was super hungry not having eaten dinner. Made myself a slice of toast with cheese whiz and then went back to bed.
