Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Hi Kathy, Thanks. Yes, I am on MTX injections only. The CT scan was okay but I am still uncomfortable and passing blood. They are going to keep me in the hospital today and run more tests.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 That's bad news, Alan1! I'm not sure what to make of this. I hope your physicians come up with a reasonable explanation that can be easily treated or solved. You take nothing but MTX? Kathy and I can always come to bust you out should they be holding you too long. [ ] Out of commission > Hi Friends, > > I hope everyone is having as pain a free weekend as possible.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Hi , I take MTX, Ambien as needed and Skelaxin that they have taken me off. My CT scan is okay and I may have a colonoscopy in the morning. I have gone from bloody stools to black tarry ones. There is an indication of infection in my body from the blood work, so maybe that's it. Either way, I'll be sure to drop you and Kathy a libe so we can coordinate the breakout.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Sorry you're having such a bad time with your poor belly. It sounds like the MTX is messing with your stomach big time. I hope they get to the bottom of it and you feel better. Hugs, a > Hi Friends, > > I hope everyone is having as pain a free weekend as possible.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 ((((((((((Dearest Alan)))))))))...Gee, buddy, I'm SO sorry you are going through so much! I pray they get to the root of the problem and start you on a proper course of treatment. Whenever you feel the snugness of the blood pressure cuff, think of all of us giving you an enormous, loving hug! You're in my heart & in my prayers, dear Alan. All my love, always...

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Geez Loweeze, Alan! What more is gonna happen? Are you at Condell or LF? Hope you're getting good care. If I sent my rheumy up there, he'd probably say you had a hangnail. Seriously, I'll keep you in my prayers, Hugs, Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Alan, You have been through an awful lot these past months. I'm sorry to hear that you are in the hospital but that is the best place for you now. Am praying that the tests will be back soon so that the correct treatment can begin.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Alan, I am so sorry that you are feeling so poorly. Actually, you are in the best place possible until they can find the source of the bleeding. Nothing to fool around with. Will be keeping you and your family close in prayers and thoughts. Us bad girls gotta take care of our bail bonds man! I could bake a cake with little saw blades in it, oh wait, that is for jail. Ooops, wrong incarceration! Be well, my dear friend! Gentle, tender, angel hugs to you and yours, Debs in FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
