Melinda,

Please take care of yourself!! Are you still coughing alot?

When is your appointment with the allergist? Ask them to test you

for asthma too. You have the same symptoms my mom had several years

ago. She had quite a few rounds of antibiotics with no

relief. Finally she went to an asthma-allergy specialist & she

was having an acute asthma attack. Good luck to you & I do

hope & pray for relief & rest for you. Take

care!

Love,

Barb

Re: Update

Well, Ive done TWO rounds of Anti biotics. and Nada. Just finished up the last batch on Sunday. No change. Got 7 hours of sleep last night, Thanks to one of the very last ( only one left) Vicodin i have.

But thank god i got the sleep as i ran around all day with my mother and sister.

My sister bought a house. ( yes im jelious) Her hubby managed to get disability. Burns me up that he managed to get 10 times what i get cause he has worked more. ya he worked more cause he didnt even bother to finish high school, let alone go to any college or even a trade school. SO while i could have been working instead i was going to school and then Cosmetology school. I did have a part time job and helped my parents with their business. SO its not like i wasnt doing anything. But Now IM paying for finishing HS and Going to a trade school. Guess i should have not bothered and just worked instead. Nice. yep im grouchy. lol

Oh well thats it. Hope all is as well as can be.

Hi ,<br><br>You never have to apologize for

your feelings!!<br><br>Nobody can understand the pain

and frustration of this condition unless they've had

it themselves. <br><br>I wish your parents could

understand. Mine didn't when I first had this condition at

age EIGHT and they listened to the doctor when he

told them I would grow out of it. (How does an 8 year

old end up with CP? Not sure, but it kept coming and

going and I didn't know what it was until 30 years of

age).<br><br>That's why you are so lucky to have this place online to

go when you are overwhelmed. Many, many times I have

been on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and just

reading and replying to the posts has helped.<br><br>It's

not your fault. Bodies just aren't always built tough

enough to withstand normal life. It stinks, but try to

stay positive. <br><br>This is going to sound

absolutely insane to everyone, but I swear, the day I

started talking to my knees, they started to feel better.

I told them that I loved them whether or not they

hurt or were swollen, or didn't perform exactly the

way I wanted them to. And I really meant it. I had

this really nice conversation with myself, and my

knees. It was pretty emotional because my whole life I

had been frustrated with myself, and unforgiving.

Then, to top it all off: my appearance, my ability to

exercise and perform well in my job (exercise

instructor)-- everything changed within a few months and I

hated my knees for it. Like it was their fault. So once

I forgave them, I actually felt much better.

<br><br>There, now everyone thinks I have lost

it!!!!!<br><br>But if it helps you, , or even if it made you

laugh, it was worth my

embarrassment.<br><br>Jeannine<br>(I did not give my knees names. Yet.)

Hi Ross,

Just to put my two penniworth in on the subject of

virus concern, speaking to someone learned on IT who

has heard of various problems being current,a couple

of names commencing W95....... have come up and

someone else by doing a survey felt that the W95 may

well be connected to WORD 95 software, people with

Word 98 or NM2000 were not affected. I have New

Millenium 2000 with good protection and touch wood am

okay, I may well be talking out of my bottom but it

may give some clues to the concern which a number of

people are mentioning.

Regards, Les.

The way viruses are named is about what they affect.

W95 - Windows 95 (or later!!!)

W32 - Winsock drivers(All windows)

W97 - Word 97

I can't find the page on the net that details everything thats in the name,

but @MM on the end means it mails itself using your program.

A couple of pages worth looking at on the net:

Dear Melinda,

You poor dear. I can't imagine coughing so much. I've had some

coughing jags before, but nothing like what you are having.

I can well remember when I had meningitis the first time. It started

by feeling like a cold coming on with a headache. I was coughing some,

and each cough seemed to rattle my brain so hard and so painfully that I

had to try preventing each urge to cough thereafter. It isn't easy

trying to hold back that need to cough (or a sneeze for that matter).

By midnight of the first day, not knowing I had meningitis, I had

coughed myself sick and silly. Then the heaves started until I was

throwing up the previous day's lunch. LOL. Then the dry heaves, which

I think are the worst. Yuk!

Well, enough about me. I do hope the ENT can help you. A CT scan

isn't much of a big deal UNLESS you are allergic to the iodine IV

contrast dye (if they use that), of which I am. Then you have to be

careful.

When I had a CAT scan and they injected me with the iodine contrast

dye I broke out in hives. The nurse assistant noticed it right away and

they gave me a shot of benadryl to calm the hives. They then told me I

would forever be allergic to that stuff, so I always have to tell people

about it before any such test or I could die and that would ruin my

whole day.

Once I needed an IVP test of my kidneys and I mentioned my allergy at

the last minute and they freaked out because they were about to inject

me with the dye. They then had to cancel the IVP. They made me take

Prednisone for 3 days before I could have the test WITH the iodine.

Those were some of the worst 3 days I ever had! I don't know what dose

of Pred I was taking but my stomach felt so bad that all I could do was

keep eating ALL the time. It wasn't until the evening of the 3rd day

that my ex-wife mentioned she had some Zantac that might help my

stomach. I couldn't believe it took so long for her to realize she

could have helped me!

So, please be careful. We wouldn't want something to go wrong and

hurt you because they don't tell you everything they are about to do.

Hugs,

ie B

Um, Iodine IV? ACK. They just said it was easy and was nothing. Its of my

sinus's so i dont know what they do. Its my first time.

IM still coughing just as much, my sleep is so broken up because of the

coughing. Ya i get headaches too when i get to coughing alot. I just keep a

drink nearby and lifesavers or something like that to suck on. Seems to

help but sometimes nothing does and i just cough my head off.

Thanks for the concern, i think half of my family thinks im faking it.

Dear Georgianna

I'm sorry you are so sick. I hope the Dr. will be able to help you. It's good you called him. I will be praying for you.

Gentle but big Hugs

[Guest guest]

Carolyn,

Hi! I wanted to say thanks for your kind and encouraging words! And the gentle hugs mean a lot too! At the hospital, the told me that the stones when I am in pain flair up the fibromialgia, so maybe thats why the pain is never gone from there on that one! I am scared about what the dr told me and am nervous but need to get this checked out and all. I am aup agin for another diff sleeping tonight! **sighs** The pain is just real bad. But its embarassing to meright now, last night it hurt for me to have my bra on!!! thats never happened to me before, it was scarey!

Love,Georgianna "Georgie"

Dearest Georgie,

Ya poor sugar! You go girl - phone that Dr and tell him that you are

not doing good!! Thats what they are there for sweetheart! Its their

job!

Your family is scared and sick of you being sick... hmmm.. well I

think your feelings come before your family! I am sure you are sick

of being sick also!!!

Have you heard from the Dr yet? How you doing now sweetheart?

Much love to you dear one,

Aisha.

> Hi,

This isnt gonna be long but thought I would give you an update. I

have been really quite sick since my surgery but have tried to

play 'tough' till today and gavein! What I mean is that I finally

called the dr and told him that Im still very very sick! I havent had

an appetite since the first surger 6 weeks ago! I feel nauseated and

have a lot of dry heaves. I cant eat more than 3 or 4 bites literally

and cant get down much fluids I fear it cause I feel like Im gonna

throw up everywhere. Downfall is that w/o fluids the surgery is a

waste the stones will stick together and I will be sick again!

So...we are taking it one day at a time now! I talked to my fam prac

dr and he said that IF and it could be from the surgery that anytime

they are in your tumm like that and are anywhere near and theyd ont

ahve to even touch your tumm in there that you can feel that way. But

he said that if it ISNT it...then I have to come in and get bl owrk

or whatever done cause it could be very serious. With my lower

immunit he dosent take anything as 'game' he gets it down hard so

nothing can get out of hand hopefully! He is a good dr! He looks

after me well! But I fear it could be osmething bad but Im trying not

to worry till I hear from the surgeron tomorrow! Thanx for the

prayers, my family is scared and tired of seeing me 'sick'.

Love,

Georgianna

[Guest guest]

Georgianna,

I always have to do the 24 hour " pee " tests. What is the 48 hour

test all about. Hope you feel better and soon!

Love you lots,

>>I always have to do the 24 hour "pee" tests. What is the 48 hour test all about. Hope you feel better and soon!<<

The 48 hr pee tests are really just 2 - 24 hr pee test just one continuously basically after another! They had to test for so many diff things this time that it was gonna have to take 2 of them in order to be enough I suppose for the test! Its not fun but at least it dosent hurt that much...for me it does though cause the stents make me strain bad nad they rub up against my bladder...when I strain the pain is VERY severe!

Love,

Georgianna

Hi Denisa,

Have you tried stopping the anti-migraine meds and

tried other painkillers? My pain doc always tells me

that sometimes it is just a matter of hard work in

trying to find the right meds to treat the headaches.

So all hope is not lost yet!!!

Also, is anything going to be done about the cyst?

Take care, you are not alone, I have horrifying

headaches too!

HI Denisa,

Got what you mean. Finding a good doc really is very

difficult and draining. However, do keep on trying, I

am sure you will find such a doc to fix a shunt soon!

Good luck ,

I am a recovering addict with 12 years clean. Narcotics are a last resort.

With the cyst, if I can find a doctor to take me seriously, hopefully

something will be done. The cyst cannot be completely removed, it will just

grow back. But they can shunt it to keep it drained. Its just a matter of

finding someone to take me seriously.

Marsha, that is N O T the way to celebrate your B/day dear !!! But I will keep Praying on the DR's. 90% hunch !!! Nah, no blubbering idiot... Just a frightened person, that didn't know what to expect ) You had every right to be scared... That's called Normal!!! What an ordeal to go through...

I'm supposed to be getting mine done here in Feb., they let me go a year this time ) but I haven't made that appointment yet either...

Do you get to have a make up Birthday ??? Sorry April is ill again ( I will get her out a card...

You try not to worry, I know, That will be impossible until you get the word from the Dr. But try a little, OK!!! I'll be worried right along with ya...

Love Ya !!!

Well, I just wanted to drop in and let you know how I spent my Bday.LOL. I went to MD Hospital ofr my 6 month FU and the nodule was still there and had increase some so the Dr. wanted to do a needle biopsy on it, well, I was a blubbering idiot, what can I say, I cry really easy, well, anyway they are so nice smart and kind there, the procedure was a piece of cake, it is amazing what they can do now a days. Like it was hooked up to the puter screen, he did another mamogram and it was gone, just like Harry Potter. LOL. He said if he was a beatng man, he would bet 90% that it was not cancer and if it is cancer it is the world's smallest found in the breast.LOL. Well, any way, I will not get the results until Wed or Thurs. I was really shaky and nervous and weak this morning, but I am ok now. So, if any one out there wants to share their experience dealing with this with me, it would make me happy.

April has been sick all week, same oh same old. She missed one day of school.

Hi Marsha,

My mum had a needle biospy too. The doc sounds pretty confident, but I am sure the results will come out fine!

Please do keep up posted of your results, ok/

Again, I am really sorry for the missing birthday reminder.

Hi Marsha,

Thanks for writing! How are you? May I know what happened between you and your mum? is there some friction going on? As for my mum, she left us a year ago due to diabetes complications.
