Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi Pam The Colonscopy is a breeze. They put you out of it. Just be sure there is someone to drive you home after. The hardest part is the pre-op cleanout. [Never pooped so much in my life.] A lot of people with HCV have IBS [irr bowel syn] or chrones or some other digestive problems. I think most will disappear post TX. I have all of it, and GERD [acid reflux]. The Lexipro wont hurt you. You may not even feel it. love don in ks From: pam miller <pammango@...>Subject: Re: [ ] How is everyone doing? Date: Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 7:38 AM Hey Don, I've been really busy and struggling to keep up. My TX meds come tomorrow but I can't start till after a few more test. I have to get a colonoscopy, seem my ct scan hasn't even arrived at Hopkins but the notes indicate some colon trouble.I feel like I have artheritis again. I'm right back to that crappy fatigued feeling as last year. I'm looking forward to restarting tx, the sick feeling from tx is better than the way I feel now. I almost couldn't get out of my dress Saturday, I can barely lift my arms and my hands are so swollen again. Mentally I feel drugged.I still run my ass off and mand the fort with all the kids but it's getting tough. I really am NOT looking forward to colonoscopy but if it has something to do with the chronic ab and side pain my ass is theirs.Im gonda freaked about sedation, I ve been sober for so long outside of trying a couple head meds, I still haven't gave the lexipro a try, that Im more nervous about that. Anyway...another busy day and 1 kid home sick. I don't even bother to try and eat anything Im not supposed to I can't stand the burning and pain...'s calls out to me as I drive by and I just wave with tears in my eyes! I ate a grilled wrap from Mcs and paid the next day...ALL DAY both ends. Hope you have a better week! c ya Pam [ ] How is everyone doing? Hi ya'll I was wondering how each of you is doing. I hope your all ok? I worry about each of you. You know, like Momma Hen. LOL :-) Me? My belly hurts. Ive been eating crap for a week, and not taking my sups. I know, shame on me. I will do better this week. Last thursday the doc gave me Oxycontins for Fibro pain, and took me off the Tramadol. Friday my PC got a bug, and kicked me off line. That messed up my head. Saturday I realized I was two months late in collecting the rent on my Dad's billboards down in Arkansas. OOPZ. :-( [ I handle that business for him because he is 90, and it pays the taxes.] Sunday didnt happen. LMAO Today Ive barely functioned. I did call the Pharm about a screwup in my meds. They gave me the wrong heart pills. Not good. Im glad I checked. Otherwise life is good. I hope it is for each of you all too. Be well my friends. love don in ks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I am totally having a frggin pity party over here. Been looking for somewhere to move to for over a week... so far nothing. I have 35 days to be out of this house but nowhere to go. I have 8 boxes packed. 8. We had over 500 boxes when we moved in here so I haven't even made a dent in anything. I am at the point where now I just don't want to do it, I want to take my toys and go home and lock myself in.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi Don & all,Well I just got back from getting my mammogram lots of fun NOT! Doctor has me scheduled for CT scan and colonoscopy later this week. She took me off of the ambien don't really know why because now I can't sleep again and am really experiencing a lot of body aches and because of my past drug use she won't give me pain med really annoying! I have been clean and sober eight years and now because of past bad choices I am punished by not receiving any pain relief! I still have not seen the liver specialist and am hoping he will be more sympathetic.marie in CA"Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
