So sorry that I've been gone, once again!! Well, Last weekend I got

real sick. I was having the worse lower abdominal pain and a

temperature of 102 to 103degrees. So, like any other idiot nurse, I

decided to try and wait it out until Monday morning when I would

call to see if I could get in to see him. Fortunatly, I was able to

get into see him. By the time I got to his office, the pain was so

intense in both my bladder and both flank areas near the kidneys.

I's swear if felt like I was having contractions!! Anyway, the week

before I had some blood work done and urinalysis with cultures. he

blood looked normal, the urinalysis looked normal, 2 or 3 days

later, the cultures on the urine started to grow bacteria. Well, I

told my doc that the urinalysis wouldn't be normal at this time.

So, I needed to be on antibiotics but I'm allergic to most of them.

So, into the hospital I went to get treated with IV antibiotics and

benadryl injected before the antibiotic. It does help, a lot. With

out it, it feels like they are infusing fleas directly into my

body!! Well, I'm still having trouble eating. Haven't been able to

keep anything down for a little over a week now. I've been living

off Gatoraide for the last few days. I can get about one to one and

half of those 20 oz. bottles down. It takes me all day, but I

figured that was better than nothing.!!

I really hope this day finds everyone wel. I also want to wish a

happy father's day to all the dad's out there and the dad's to be.

Take care, your sister in RA, Marina
