Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Thank you a! When I woke up this morning, after at least an hour of sleep *sarcasm* the pain & fever was gone. (I'm new to insomnia - and I DON't LIKE IT!!!!) I am kinda sore and not feeling too good all over. Doc says to go ahead with the antibiotics and see what happens. If the pain comes back, she will schedule an ultrasound/CT Scan. Thank you for post!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Your letter got to me, I've had that a lot lately, and ended up in the ER for it. They never followed up though, although there was some talk about seeing a GI specialist. Thing is I've had a spat of " bladder infections " that the doctors aren't sure about... Now I am also worried about kidney involvement. Know I HAVE to get to the doc soon again. Do me a favor and when you find out about what it is with you, let me know and tag me in your subject line so I can find it again, or email me at tempestspell@.... Right now I'm reading all this on the groups site so my mailbox doesn't flood, and I'm not here every day, so it gets kinda tough to sort through everything.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Sorry Jerri, I haven't had that one, but boy it sounds terrible. Hopefully someone else can help but I wouldn't mess around if it gets worse. a C I called my doc tonight at 9:00PM and she called me back. (she's a good one!) She seems to think it is diverticulitis or possibly a kidney stone. She plans to call in Flagyl and Levaquin tomorrow morning (no drugstores open) but said if the pain gets any worse, to go to the ER. I was just wondering if anyone else has had these same symptoms and what it turned out to be. Hope everyone is resting comfortably. Take care!

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 UUUggghhhh - spoke too soon! Now my guts are simply on fire! I can drink cold water and literally feel it running " thru the pipes " Geez Louise - what now? I've eaten every antacid I can find on top of my normal Nexxium. Have I mentioned lately how much I hate being sick? LOL I know we all do - I just needed a little whine time. Oh, the insomnia has been off and on for about 3 weeks...not too bad compared, I 'm just not use to it! I slept good last night - right thru the alarm this morning! OOPPS!! Thanks for asking! How are you doing? Jerri > Hi Jerri, Glad to hear that you are okay. Please give an update as soon as you know anything about the ultrasound hon. Sorry about the lack of sleep. Have you had the insomnia for long? Let me know. Love, hugs, and prayers, a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Hi Shirley, If your ankles are still swollen and it's going up, now to include your tummy I would think it could be big time fluid retention. When I retained 20 pounds in 3 days that is what happened. It kept going up, however there was no pain. It was just a pinching kind of discomfort from the skin being stretched but you say it hurts. Call your doctor. You wouldn't want to wait with that. Keep us updated. Mojo Re: Re: Need some opinions Hello to all dear Lupie friends ! I was wondering if I could ask a question here ?

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Shirley, IMHO(in my humble opinion) it could be several different things. My Pancreatitus tends to flare up like this. but it could be other things. Do you have any pain? Becky Dolphinlove4u@... wrote: Hello to all dear Lupie friends !
