Guest guest Posted March 22, 2000 Report Share Posted March 22, 2000 Trish, I too suffer from RLS. I have been diagnosed anemic for a lot of years now and cannot seem to keep my iron levels in the normal range. Just this evening I went to see my doctor and she wants me to have the iron shots again. She actually said they want to do it in an IV. That does not sound like much fun. Fortunately they could not find everything they needed so they will call me to let me know when. I take Trazedone nightly to help with the RLS. Otherwise I cannot sleep a wink. I used to sit in the bathtub everynight before going to bed. Then my husband bought me a Hot Tub. Boy did I love sitting in there every night. I had to sell it when money got tight. BOO HOO. Anyways, if you can get your iron under control it should help. Take Care. Mich Distal Gastric Bypass 1994 Start weight 425+ Current weight 250 Surgeon: S.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2000 Report Share Posted March 22, 2000 I have had similar episodes except mine feel like Gallbladder attacks again. The thing is I don't have my Gallbladder anymore. The doctors do not have a clue what causes them. I have to lay down for about 15 minutes to wait for them to pass. When I get one that is really bad I usually end up in the ER doing my usual Hyperventilating from the pain. I hate that. Everybody yells at you to take deep breaths. I would if it didn't hurt. Duh. Let me know if you figure anything out on this. Take Care Mich Distal Gastric Bypass 1994 Start weight 425+ Current weight 250 Surgeon: S.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2000 Report Share Posted March 22, 2000 Hi Barbra... Well, I do get the racing heart from too much spaghetti or anything carb loaded like that. I had some MORON serve me sweetened tea which I didn't taste before putting my Equal in it...drank a good part of it before I noticed I was heading for the floor.<G> Even a popsicle that is a bit above the sugar content than I'm used to on an empty pouch will get things started. If I have butter in some food preparations I get a combo of palps and stomach pains. It's apparent that NOW I have a tendency to fall asunder if I consume too much milk (put your hand down ...I know, " you told me so!!! " <G>) and as of my last experience with a bowl of Raisin Nut Bran with 2% milk after a bit of ice cream that was yelling at me from the freezer...I'm STILL, almost a week later having some pains and conniptions from my tender innards. Me: " Doc..it hurts when I eat that. " Doc: " Well, don't eat that. " Simple enough!<G> Some of spasm pains that happen on occasion have little rhyme nor reason, but I do feel that they're related to milk products in some fashion. But when those spasms happen...I'm incapacitated for at least 10 minutes of lying on my back, side, anywhere just in agony. I've got a tab of Nitro-Glycerin to try the next time it happens just to see the results. But.after this length of time, I'm getting assured that my problem will be milk products and the reaction it causes...which is a spasm that just is hard to describe. Anyhow...when it does happen, I just roll my eyes and have a conversation with the Pain Gawd as to what I promise never to do again if they'll let me be.<G> Dan Barbra wrote: > > > > Hi Dan, > > Boy oh boy was I glad to see this e-mail.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2000 Report Share Posted March 22, 2000 Hi Dan, ::::giggles::::: I shouldn't be laughing, because only *I* really know how bad it is. :-) When you say spasms... where? That is another one of my problems [and has been since about one year post]. I get spasms [like swimmer's toes] in my toes and fingers. Hurts like heck!!! They all go in different directions and I can't work it out. Occasionally I get the spasm in my calf and that one is by far the worst!!! Past few months I have a new one. I get this spasm in my gut. You can actually see it! It looks like the alien is in there and my gut just rolls up hard to one side. I try and work it out by twisting and turning. It hurts so much, but is so weird to see that I usually end up laughing through it. I have been told that the spasms are caused from the lack of nutrients [which? I haven't a clue] :-) If you are experiencing anything like this... I have found the cure. It is OTC and called Legatrim. Do not get the PMs as for some reason they do not work. I forgot to mention that the only thing that is almost 100% of the time guaranteed palps is cereal and milk. Not dry cereal alone or milk alone. Hmmmmm. It really is a shame with all the WLS being done there isn't one surgeon/doctor out there with the answers we need.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2000 Report Share Posted March 22, 2000 Well, it's not the norm...more the rarity I think; and it's such a rare occurence that it's hard to catch it in process. I've thought about heading over to the local hospital when it starts..but by the time I've gotten myself together enough, it's on the way out. I suppose I could volunteer to go through the process AT the hospital, but you guys would need to take up a collection for flowers and topless nurses to help...ease the pain.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2000 Report Share Posted March 22, 2000 Hi Vicki, What, to you is an incompatible food? Is that food ALWAYS incompatible? Then what? You get the racing heart? If so, what do you at that point? I never get anything... or I should say I never really overeat. When I am full there is no way to get any more food in. There is no place for it to go. <shrug> This is definitely not something that is in my head. Last summer I was out on the beach [i live right ON the beach] with my neighbor who happens to be a doctor. I started to get palps and was going inside. Doc made me stay there and kept track of my pulse. He was amazed how it just kept rising and rising and rising while I did nothing, but lay in a beach chair.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2000 Report Share Posted March 22, 2000 Hi Trish, I was told the leg cramps are low potassium. The Legatrim will DEFINITELY help!

It is not like one of us is experiencing a weird, unusual symptom that no one can relate to. Each time a problem is thrown out there on the list we find many share the same.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2000 Report Share Posted March 23, 2000 Sally, That is all they do for me is give me something for the pain. Usually they will put in an IV and give me fluids and pain medicine. They run blood tests, urine test, and ask lots of questions, and then the pain goes away and they send me home and tell me to see my doctor. It is the same all the time. But yes, the pain medication is a true blessing at the time. Take Care Mich Distal Gastric Bypass 1994 Start weight 425+ Current weight 250 Surgeon: S.

I guess better to be a medicated not in pain freak though huh? I'm going back for the 'complete' physical with my sexy doctor (internist) who originally ok'ed me for my bypass... Maybe I'll bug him to do some research on these weird attacks.. He's a great young doctor who seems like he likes to take on challenges.. Thanks a bunch sweets..

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2000 Report Share Posted March 26, 2000 The last time I was in the hospital [many moons ago....] my surgeon had no answers [for a change], so I blocked him from my case and called in the best gastro, cardio, etc... available. I was put on a heart monitor and given beta blockers which made it 1000 times worse. They found nothing.

I know when I am literally full and then stop. ALWAYS. Sometimes I have one bite.. it gets stuck and then that's the end of that meal :-) As for the what I eat... I have watched that for years and it is never the same thing that sets it off. It's a confusing one for sure... Barbra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the diamond from my ex... But as far as surgery goes we all agree no one has a clue to what I had done. I am pretty sure the " ring " from by VBG was removed when I went to an RNY so I would eat more. DOES EVERYONE ELSE OUT THERE HAVE THE RING??? I asked before but no one answered :-( Damn, this iron is killing me. I am waking up about three hours after going to sleep with the worst heartburn. YUK! Back to the Prilosecs.
