Want Some Good News?

[Guest guest]

Hello, everyone. I wanted to touch base, and let y'all know that I

was reading the posts for the last week, but haven't responded as I

was feeling pretty bad, and busy at work. However, things have

improved.

I went in to the doctor, as I needed a refill on my pain meds. This

concerned him, so he scheduled a CAT scan. He thought perhaps the

cyst we had found last January was getting larger, but in fact, it

is shrinking. I don't have to have it drained, he told me to stay

on my meds, and increased the allowed dosage of my stress

medication, taken prn. He thinks I should use that more, as stress

seems to bring on the warning signs of an attack. But the great

thing is, I am improving!!

Anyway, back to work, just had to share the news.

Thanks for being there,

Anne

Anne,

News like yours is always welcome. I remember how excited

and relieved I felt when I first found out that my pseudocysts were

reducing two years ago. I hope yours fades away to nothing, and

that you continue to improve.

With hope and prayers,
