I'm not a student,I'm a hostage! lol.........Just to answer the first question.
The HIDA scan came back normal,so it's not my gallbladder.I saw the Dr. yesterday,and my temperature was 101.9,he asked when the last time I passed out was,and I told him it was a day or 2 after he told me the HIDA scan was normal,but this time I felt it coming on,and explained the syptoms I felt right before I passed out,he figured it out.He said that I'm having severe Anxiety attacks that are causing me to pass out,that my mind can't handle the excess stress,other then what I'm having already at home,so when I get stress from some where else,my brain just shuts down,and I pass out.He said the symptoms I described were exactly the symptoms that are a severe type of attack,and that I need to have my valium dose increased,or they could get worse.But the fever is still a mystery,so he prescribed me anti-biotics,and he thinks I have IBS.I asked about Chrohns,he said no,there would be more blood,than I've been spitting up and having in my runs.And I mentioned ulcerative colitis,and he said the same thing,more blood would be coming out,not the smaller amount that I've had.The spitting up blood he thinks is just my esophagus being irritated from the vomiting.I had half of it removed in 1993,and the rest is stretched together and stapled together ,so whenever I vomit it gets irritated where the staples are,and can cause some bleeding.If I vomit too much,it could rip a staple,but I would hemmorage and die within minutes if that happened,so that's not it! Or I would'nt be here to type this!lol... But it was my fever that got him to actually sit and listen to me,and realize that he needs to figure this out! because he looked at my chart and realized that for the past 5 months about,everytime I've come in,I've had a fever,so he can't keep coming up with excuses,he really needed to hear me out this time!
So,he thinks it's IBS,with the COPD,causing the respiratory infections,and the passing out due to severe anxiety! Fevers still unsolved!
What do you guys think,do you think he may be getting somewhere finally?
