Hi , I am glad I was able to help!! One suggestion for keeping your pain under control, is to take your next dose as soon as you start to get a little bit uncomfortable like every 4 hours (depending on the Rx directions) until you get the pain under control. You can't do this for too many days in a row, but it might help to at least get you past the initial pain. This what we did with my Mom for the 1st couple of days after she got out of the hospital last Saturday. How I am doing? That is really a loaded question right now... basically I am existing. Other than that I don't know. Love always, Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2002 Report Share Posted November 18, 2002 You have the Prayers!!! I Do Hope that you start feeling better Real Soon!!! Love Helen Well it seems like today is update day,, so I will add mine,,, the stomach Cramps are getting better,, but still having a very sharp pain in my upper stomach, so I have to pick up some sample meds from my GI tomorrow. I am not experiencing any kidney stones yet, but been having some bad back pain, but hard to tell if it’s the Fibro or not. I will know,,, when it gets to feeling like I want to kill myself, its time to go to the ER…. lol…… Well the bad news is the Meds Im supposed to take for the Crohn's disease , Asacol, I cant buy it anymore, I take 3 tablets 3 times a day and 1 weeks worth of meds cost 100 and I cant afford it! I still have some left over from when I had prescription coverage,, and I was hoping it had went generic by now (Ive been on it for at least 5 years) but nope,, and I have no Idea what Im going to do when I run out,, doctor says there is another medication comparable but it has bad side effects with the stomach, so If I can get the stomach under control I might be able to go on it,, but not until it gets better,, so we will see,,, thanks for keeping me in your prayers,, still need more!!!!

Oh, Maurita, you hit the nail right on the head. I think sometimes we are tempted to do that to prove ourselves right when we know our child has something -- I know when my SIL was scoffing at 's dairy intolerance I felt like saying, " Let's give her a glass of cow's milk and then you watch what happens. " But of course I know that would cause pain to for the sake of my ego so I just grin and bear it. I'm with you -- he's already been on loads of treatment meds for this " infection " (or not), so I'd just finish the treatment plan and not risk something coming back gangbusters. You're on the homestretch anyway, right? I'd much rather give a little extra than cut short a treatment.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Sandi - good luck with 's surgery. I hope his recovery is swift and the stay is short. One of the things they'll have him do is splint his chest with a pillow to cough and keep his lungs moving. It might be a neat idea to get a white pillow case before hand and have him decorate it and then use it on that pillow so it might seem abit more personal and cheerful. Pillow case decorating has been a big thing at our hospital lately.
