Intake Symptom List: Fill & Download for Free

For our three children, we had a wonderful pediatrician who was very personable and always made time to talk with the kids, treating them like individuals. We also appreciated that her fees were reasonable.One day, we received notice that our doctor was moving from her modest office to a brand new posh building complete with valet, or paid parking. The suite had an enormous salt water aquarium filled with tang, puffer fish and striped eels (I’ve come to think of expensive fish tanks in a doctor’s office as an ominous sign).The new office was across town but we hung in there for a bit, soon to discover that we were charged for the copies of immunization records we used to get for free. We also noticed a pattern with the visits: our beloved pediatrician would enter the room like she was shot from a cannon, give a cursory exam and dispense a prescription based on symptoms listed on the intake form. We couldn’t get a word in edgewise before her hand was already on the door to leave. When we persisted in asking a question, she would half turn back toward us while keeping her hand on the door lever.We started referring to her as “Dr. Door Knob.”Visits went from 8–10 minutes to about 90 seconds.We assumed the change in character and practices was the result of some monetization seminar and the cost of feeding eels.When we received a marketing survey sponsored by the doctor, we answered candidly and were surprised to receive a terse call from an office administrator.We decided maybe it was time to find a new pediatrician.The last straw came when we requested transfer of our medical records and the former pediatrician refused to send them. Instead, we received a call telling us that we had an appointment for a checkup that we hadn’t scheduled.We canceled the appointment and again requested the medical records transfer.We received another uncomfortable call from the administrator asking if and why we intended to change physicians.When we explained our reasons once more, the administrator informed us that there would be a $100 fee to transfer the records. Initially, she seemed to imply that the fee would be per child. When we baulked, she relented to the single fee of $100.We made the switch and never looked back.

I was diagnosed with Bpd 2 short years ago, I am 29 years old. When I was diagnosed I had just given birth to my my second daughter. I was struggling with post partum and sought out to find help intionally for that. With doing my intake with the physchologist is when I was diagnosed. At that point I was almost relieved. Finally I had the answer and maybe this would help lead to me getting better treatment. Prior to my depression following the birth of my daughter I had a lot of unfortunate issues occur throughout my early adult life. So I always carried some mental issues with me. I just always assumed that I handled things poorly and I didn't know how to deal with my emotions. I have had subsance abuse issues, lying, cheating. Over spending of money, attachment issues, forming myself to be who I thought people wanted me to be, and pretty much everything under the symptom list of BPD. My life was a roller coaster. Still is for that matter. My husband bless his heart has been beside me the past ten years. I still struggle every day with this disease. It's something very real and I am not completely convinced it's curable. I believe with the right peopl and the right help it's not impossible to over come. However finding the help is another issue. I try to be a good mother and a good wife, and that's the best I can do right now. I hope to one day out this behind me and learn how to manage my life more efficiently.

Unfortunately I have experienced the symptoms of stage 4 colon cancer, and they did get progressively worse.Generally speaking, the symptoms of colon cancer (in alphabetical order) are:Abdominal painBlood in the stoolChange in bowel habitUnexplained weight lossUnusual levels of tirednessI experienced all of those, with the exception of the one I wouldn’t have minded a bit of: unexplained weight loss. I don’t with to make light of this symptom, but I’ve been battling with my weight for many years…Those that I did experience were insidious in their nature. For the most part, they crept into my life when I wasn’t looking and they got worse so slowly that I didn’t notice. By the time I accepted something was wrong, something was really wrong!Abdominal pain goes with dieting. Changes in bowel habits, for example cutting out sugary and fatty foods, impact on your bowel habit. This can lead to discomfort as your body adjusts to the food it’s having to deal with. When you’re prone to yo-yo dieting, this makes non diet-related abdominal pain difficult to notice.The pain in my abdomen did get progressively worse. It eased off during my first three months of chemotherapy, as the tumour shrank, slightly. Then the chemo finished to allow for the surgeries and the abdominal pain got progressively worse at quite a rate. In the end, a couple of weeks before my bowel surgery, the pain peaked and then eased a bit. This turned out to be because my bowel had ruptured at the point of the tumour and I was slowly filling with poo.I’d had blood in the stool for ages. Like I say. I’m overweight. But I also do a lot of exercise; (field) hockey and cycling, at the time. This involves a lot of sweating, on my part. And chafing. Anyway, you see where I’m going with this; hemorrhoids seemed inevitable. The blood in my stool was consistent with hemorrhoids, so I didn’t worry. Unfortunately, it was also consistent with an impressively large tumour in my Sigmoid Colon.The blood in the stool, however, did not get noticeably worse over time.The change in the bowel habit, when it happened, was obvious, even to me. It was this, in fact, that finally drove my wife to drive me to see my doctor.As I mentioned above, I associated the abdominal pain with changes in bowel habit, triggered by changes in what I was eating. This, though, was something completely different. It got worse very quickly and very noticeably.The tiredness I was feeling I, again, associated with my dieting. Lower calorific intake combined with high levels of exercise was intended to result in fatigue. But not like this.Over the course of the hockey season, I was able to sustain match effort for shorter and shorter periods. By the time the season restarted after the festive break, I was having to take a knee during the halves. A month later, I was having to take a knee every 10 minutes. Incredibly, this didn’t detract from my normal playing ability… I play at a very low standard.So yes, looking back and with what I know now; obvious symptoms of colon cancer, slowly getting worse. The good news is, that once you get into treatment, these issues are dealt with by a combination of drugs and surgery.Should you wish to read more about the symptoms of colon cancer, I have written a post about it, which includes links to symptom lists on other sites:http://www.paullewis.me.uk/blog/2018/04/18/bowel-cancer-symptoms/
