I was stable on my major depressive disorder and my gut was ok. But when my insurance company declined to pay $1.00 for me to continue that medication and required me to try and fail 3 other like medications, all with more side effects, before they would reconsider allowing me to continue the effective medication. So now over a year later I have become unable to function , lost a really good paying job after working as a RN for the company for 22 hyears. There are many docotrs who blow you off if they know you have a diagnosis of depression. This included
the GI PA who told me that it was all due to the brain gut conection. So I finally took him by the hand and convinced with the medical information that their office had that he would appease me by ordering a Cat Scan of the abdomen/pelvis. He assured me it would all be fine. Well he callede 3 days later after recieving the CT results to let me know it showed a gallbladder full of stones and one that was impacting the neck of the gallbladder. I asked him if he fully underastood the agony I had endured for the past 5 month. He had NO reply. My goodness my weight had gone from 167 lbs to 119 today. I was begging God to have mercy.
