A month ago I went to the emergency room
on a saturday night for having extreme
abdominal pains that were going on for a
few weeks and never stopped. The pain got
so bad I finally broke down and had my
fiance take me to the doctors. They did an
ultrasound (which totally blows, did you
know you have to get a catheter if your
under 6 months preg???) the doctor came
back and said there was ALOT of fluid
around my right ovary which meant a cyst
had ruptured. That was the extent of
information the doctor told me, he sent me
home with a weeks worth of vikoden (or
however its spelled) and then I had a
follow up one week later with a different
doctor who told me that the amount of
fluid that was floating around gave her
the assumption the cyst had been growing
for who knows how long, could have been a
year. Which I was having bad pains
occasionally for a year so that made
sense. ANYWAY, I am sent home with more
drugs and thats it...I am going INSANE
with all the pain and symptoms I have. I
feel like I have to eat every hour or else
I feel faint and dizzy...and then nausias
instead of hungry CONSTANTLY...It is so
horrible I just want to shoot myself
sometimes. It has been a month exactly.
How long does this usually take to get
back to normal??? I was put on birth
control, which I am ordered to take all
the hormone pills and then start a new
pack of pills right away and skip my
period all together for 3 months. I just
want to have my energy and ability to
function like a normal person again. I
havent been able to return to work b/c I
feel sick half the day, literally. I still
have pain in my lower abdomin, it is not
severe like before, but the pain is still
there to the point i want to stay curled
up in a ball and not get out of bed. I
have been in bed for basically a month
now. When I try to do too much I start
feeling faint so I have to take easy. The
mornings are the worst. I always feel
nausias...and on top of EVERYTHING....I am
hypoglycemic, so I dont know how to tell
the symptoms apart from low blood sugar,
to just feeling like I need food or
feeling dizzy b/c of the symptoms from the
fluid. PLEASE HELP ME and teach me about
this....how long will it take to get
normal again!??! Any suggestions???

If you're still miserable after a month,
I'd go back and get checked out at the
doctors.
