Almost afraid to post because i know i wont be able to keep up right now! Know i do read all the posts! For all the newbies, my name is Jessi and i'm 21 years old. I have Asthma, Allergies, GERD, NCS, POTS, Gastroparesis, Dumping syndrome, Migraines, and a Pancreas that wont behave itself. I have a G/J - Feeding Tube as well. I live in NC with my a family (who are close friends) that took me in when my grandmother passes away in Dec. of 2004. We have 7 dogs and 5 cats here at the townhouse (yeah a townhouse...) and anywhere from 3-6 people (can you say cozy?) lol! At the farm we have three goats and two sheep. We are in the middle of fixing up both the townhouse and the farm to sell so we can buy a new farm closer to the city (the one i have is 50 miles south of the city) so we are close to Karlan's work and my doctors and Karlan wont worry so much about me while she is at work all day if i'm close to the city where we have friends. Things are never dull around here. For the most part i'm holding my own. Had pancreatitis again last week, took a week to clear up but i got to stay home this time and not in the hospital so that was nice (other then not having good pain management here at home... vicodine can only do so much when it comes to that kind of pain) the NCS and POTS has been behaving themself but last week i passed out twice. Once in the bathroom and the second time in the kitchen... only that time i landed on my face... and my face landed on my glasses lol so waiting for my new pair to come in so i can see again! LOL of course i'd fall in the only two rooms in the whole house WITHOUT carpet lol! Bad for allergies and lungs....GOOD for faceplants lol! Other then that the only other new thing is my Pulmo took labs when i saw him last month and sent it away for genetic testing. Now with the panceas in the mix with the weird lung stuff that has never fit in the "asthma" dx. and the funky GI stuff that never makes any since he wants to see if am a CF carrier or one strong mutation and one mild one. He seems to think it's the answer... not that CF in anyway is easy but the Dx would be too easy and nothing with my body is ever that easy to Dx. so i don't think anything will come of it. We shall see. I will try my best to post more often with packing up two homes (one being a farm/house not just a townhouse!) and animals and health and finally being a part of a family i sometimes find it hard to even think let alone post as much as i'd like but i will try! Welcome to all the newbies and HI to all the oldies! I've missed everyone!!! ( *)= { ~~ )-- Jessi
