i dont know what wrong with me???

hello
my name is joanna rushton. i live in new zealand. i started to get really babd tummy pains and i went do the drs. he seid that it was a UTI so he give me same drugs and sent me on my way.
a week later he asked me to came back in so i did. he seid that the pills he had given me would not help for the bug i had so he give me some different pills.
a week after that i was still in alot of pain and i feet like it wasnt geting bettar at all so mum and i went back.

my dr sent me to the hospital. i had an xray, blood tests, piss tests, some tests im not going to say (it was not very nice at all) and they still did not know what was wrong with me, all the pain killers werent working and i was in so much pain. mum did not know what to do my best friend came up to see me. there was a girl and her mum keeped looking at me so mum went down to talk to them. katey 16 years old just like me, she had pain in hea tummy too. atfer the day went on they put me up in a room, an old room, it was so old even the people in the rooom was old, there was 8 beds and all the people that were there were old, michael my boyfriend went home at 8pm ish. i fall asleep and mum wait to see a dr.

day 1or 2 : katey was put in the bed in front of me and we started to get to know one and other she going to tgc (a girls only school),i go at a mixed school or we call it oats. we became friends. mum was all ways there,i don tlike hospitals. we did not have loos for the room we had to use the same ones as all the oldder people!:( there was a older man that didnt put pants on and would play with himself every time katey and i would walk passed! :( :'( it aws not very nice at all

after about a week or so of blood tests and all kinds of different drs, i had a MRI ................and ther was something in it however the drs did not think it was what the pain was coming from. katey went home after a bit so it was just me and mum, not for long....

i went to sleep in the day went michael was it school or at work, i had not been sleeping well. i had been moved and did not like that to all! they seid that they moved me so they could come when i called the bell faster, i say to the dr that i feet like one no throut that i was in pain and that i was makong it all up, it toke them longger that befor.

one day when i wake up or got woken up by some people next to me, i was so mad but i never seid eny thing. i was in a room with old people and the people that worked there was not very nice at all so i did not want so say eny thing. her name is lynda and she is 28 years old. so nice and friendly, shes a teacher, i asked her what happened she had something wrong with her hips and every thing, she seid "i was in a road acc" lynda didnt want to tall me so i didnt ask.

in the hospital for three weeks and the drs didnt know what was up with me.....................
