Dead Ends

I'm extremely tired, but can't sleep from my stomach pain, it's nauseating right now. Why does this have to happen this week? Can't it wait until like.. after Christmas?

My pediatrician saw the ct scan and said everything looks normal.

That doesn't mean everything IS normal, but it means that finding an answer isn't as easy as I was hoping it would be.

I know "nothing" is not causing this pain.

I also know that I've hit a lot of dead ends the last several years, and each time it was for a different problem, so it's not like I keep running into the same dead end. But the fact remains, I always run into dead ends. Which gets old.

I don't know what to do. I don't want to go through a bunch of more tests that may be of no help at all. I don't want to be told it's my diet, I should try eliminating so many foods until I'm living off of water and saltine crackers or something. I don't want to have doctors shrug their shoulders at me anymore. I don't want my health to be a guessing game.

Is that too much to ask?

Probably.
