Hi Annette, I wouldn't even want to begin to speculate on what may be wrong.

Just go see this doctor ASAP and let us know what happens.

Did you have an MRI with contrast? (ie, an iv or iv injection during the

procedure where they inject a dye into your veins that's picked up by the

MRI to show " problem " areas in the brain)

Generally what they're looking for in patients with FM type symptoms on an

MRI are lesions in the brain, as these are one of the diagnostic symptoms

of MS. They may have found " questionable " areas that they want to look

into further (especially if you had an MRI without the contrast dye). I

had a " questionable " MRI with contrast a couple of months ago and now am

scheduled to see a neurologist next week for further testing. It's not

necessarily anything to worry about, just an added " something " . When are

you to go in to discuss the results? Good luck, and be sure and let us

know what they say!

My pharmacist is very good at keeping track of my medications. A doctor gave

me a medication and my pharmacist called and told me it would not work with

one of my medications. He called the doctor and got it straightened out.

Take care,

Irene

I mean, most of us already know to check on this kind of thing. But

doctors are absolutely notorious for prescribing medications without 1)

reviewing the patient's chart, checking for interactions, allergies and so

on; and 2) even knowing what the side effects and interactions of a given

medication ARE. Some nurses are very good at keeping track of this, but

your best bet is your pharmacist >>

Please don't worry unless there is a reason too! It could be something

minor...just go and see the dr. and then you will take it from there. Hope

your headache goes away and please let us know what the dr. tells you when

you do to see him.....don't speculate what the results could be get the facts!

Allicia,

I use warm coke for my tummy. When my children were small and there was such

a thing as soda fountains my doctor used to have me buy coke cola for the

children;s stomach upsets.

Lyndi,

Where do you live that you can't get Canada Dry?

Take care,

Irene

Ah ... but if it isn't Canada Dry - it isn't " real " gingerale :-) >>

Dear Annette

I hope all goes well with your visit to the doctor.

Let us know how you get on.

Don't let it worry you too much as it will make you

worse. It may just be a formality.

Our thoughts are with you.

God bless

& nbsp; I get really nasty headaches every so often, in

bed all day, only up to go<BR>

& nbsp; to the bathroom and vomit. & nbsp; The doc gave

me Imitrex, it's for migraines<BR>

and<BR>

& nbsp; it works really well. & nbsp; You should ask your

give<BR>

& nbsp; them a try.<BR>

Thanks for all the support (everyone). I'm trying hard no to worry. I'm

not a very pashont person and the waiting is not good. Does anyone else

have trouble holding on to things? I worked last night and ended up

dropping just about everything I picked up, it was very frustrating.

Picking things up from the floor is a very painful experience for me, making

the dropping of objects even more frustrating. I finally had to sit down

and call my husband at home, who has a very calming effect on me. I don't

know what I would do without him.
