Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Hi Barb, It would have been nice if the Drs., had told your son and me what could happen. My girls were so scared, thank God my friend lives up with street and came right down. I just want to be well and go what I like to do. They suggested grinding up food but I was afraid it would take my system longer to learn the new way to digest things. I have to go for blood workm so I will see how that turns out. `Thanks for your suggestions.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Hi , How are you and the kids? I do feel better at least I am off the couch. The worst at this point is the fatigue and the eating. He told me it is going to take time but I get so hungry. When I eat just a little I get so nauseous. I am wondering if I need pancreatic enzymes. That was mentioned at one point, I am going to ask. I hope to be on more, I miss everybody.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 Hello My Friend, I know you have been sick hope you called the doctor. Sounds like you have more than a bug. GO TO THE DOCTOR PLEASE. Eating is still a problem, a big problem. I am beginning to think it was the trade off. I eat what I can mostly protein. I figure that is what I need. I eat fish, a little eggs. Some chicken but what I can eat is so small. If I try to eat more than a very little I will feel terrible. I feel sick no matter what I eat but I can not cross the line. I so miss my salads but I would be afraid to try and eat that. I was suppose to call the GI doctor but I know she will want to do a scope and that part of all this I am through with. She will want to look for scar tissue and I am not doing it. If this is the trade off so be it. I am strong and can do take care of my house. I drove for the first time yesterday. Hurt my arms but that is to be expected, I am waiting for the metho injections to kick in. You and the kids have a nice Thanksgiving. I hope you are feeling better and can enjoy the holdiay. I think of you often.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2002 Report Share Posted January 10, 2002 Hi Heidi, Thank you for your kind words. Sorry it took me a couple of day to get back to you. One of the main reasons I have been able to deal with all this is because this group is here. Here there are warm, friendly people who just want to help. It makes everything easier to deal with. Hope you have a good day with little or no pain.
