Oh Cheree' I so feel for you. I remember being at the point where you are.
My ex-husband was in the Air Force and I could not get any answers on base.
I remember (this was about 10 years ago) that the doctors on base were just
learning and didn't know too much about female situations and told me-it's
all in your head and you have to deal with it. Take aspirin and have a nice
day. I'm not blaming them, it's just what they have for training.
I too have left sided pain that ran down my left leg. I didn't know what was
more painful, the side or the leg. Please, try and get the referral off base
- fight for it. I have had to fight my health insurance company 2 times and
I have won. I know I'm not offering much advise, but I will be there for
support. And never, ever, feel you are rambling. It is good to write your
feelings out - it helps you more than you realize. Please, keep the faith
and fight, fight, fight!
With you always,
Chrissie
