Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Thanks, Moll. Melinda Re: chest pain Ditto .,Hang in there, FreeBindi. You will get there, and it will be fine, I'm sure.The waiting is the hardest part - I really feel for you. I had my surgery canceled and rescheduled because of my liver enzymes...It was murder waiting. But boy I am glad I did.When I was waiting for explant, I ended up going into anaphlactic shock from hives. I can tell you that has not happened to me since explant. But during that time preceding surgery, I wasn't sure if I was going to live through all this. When I was being told I had one autoimmune disease after another, and was in the hospital for c-difficile, and had anaphlactic shock....I just sunk deeper and deeper into a depression. I wondered seriously if my life was over. But obviously I did live through it, and finally am feeling significantly better. I may be an old lady, but I am one stubborn old lady! ;-)Now, my biggest concern - and it is a big concern - is sleep & losing weight and getting off that danged sugar. I was very good for a couple weeks, then blew it with ice cream. So I am starting over AGAIN. But I am persistent and I will get there. The key, i figure, is to pick myself right up and get back on track, rather than go into a funk about it. It used to be that I would rationalize that I had already blown a 'diet', so I might as well go all out and have the whole pint of ice cream.Not any more.I figure that since I made it through this alive, I might as well do something about my health. You know? >> Hello ladies,> I was wondering if anyone has had pain in their chest, to the point that it hurts to breathe. This is a new symptom for me. I've had lots of aches and pains, but not this. It occurs on my left side, underneath my breast. Maybe I pulled a muscle? Dang, there's always something. 18 more days...> xo> Melinda> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
