Appendix

January 14, 1999

Debbie,

My appendix aren't where they are supposed to be either and the Dr. who did

my hysterectomy discovered it. Interesting!

I doubt if it's Lyme related ... I would think we were born with the

appendix like that and they didn't move after we got Lyme. :-) But it is

pretty strange. Coincidence? Hmmm! Has Twilight Zone come back? Grin!

Be well ...

Thanks Gene couldn't have said it better myself. I must admit, that I find

myself wondering if lyme is the cause of alot of my previous problems. I

guess we are always looking for reasons as to why we feel the way we do.

Take Care

Does anyone know anything about your appendix. I have read some

info. I am not sure if that is what is causing me pain lately. I

know what the yeast pain in the gut feels lilke but this seems

different. I practically have to be in cardiac arrest to get medical

care so I haven't called the doctor. Plus from what I read there is

no test to determine if it is your appendix. The pain is on the

right side in the area where the appendix it located from a chart I

looked at. When you push on it it doesn't hurt. I can exercise and

I have been streatching the area. Mostly it seems like I feel this

pain when I am exposed to something. Lately fragrance is coming into

my apartment through the vents even though I have them covered. I

tried to use the ac yesterday because it was in the 90's and I am on

the second floor but I couldn't handle it-- the fragrance was so

strong. As soon as it comes on I feel the pain in all my weak

spots, sinuses, RSD on hand, and the appendix thingy. I have had

the pain for about a month on an off. I walk as much as I can and

have been trying to keep in shape. Thanks for any info.

Unfortunately I don't have very great doctors. They were always nice

and tried to work with me but after a while my illness was out of

their realm of expertise. It is like when you go there, they don't

want you to mention yeast or anything pertaining to mold illness.

I would definately be very cautious on how long you let this go on,

before you see a doctor, if not several. All I can say to you is

from my own experience and it definately took me by surprise. For

about a day or two my right side had just a little bit of pain in

that area, that just didn't feel quite right. Almost as if, for some

reason, like I didn't eat enough. Hard to describe, but nothing real

serious in the beginning. In women there are other organs around

that area also, ie: ovaries. About 2 days after it had begun, in the

middle of the night, my wife got me to the hospital. They did a

couple of simple tests, pushed on the area, check for constipation

(ugg) and that was about it. The next step was on the way to

surgery. From what I was told I was lucky, again. lol (most know the

other story) My appendix was ready to burst. SEE A DOCTOR. It is

better to be safe than sorry.

I also have another concern/question on a comment you made about the

RSD in your hand. Please tell me more about this either here or if

you feel more comfortable email me. This is also a very unusual

disease, that seems to be almost as hard to diganosis as someone who

has been exposed to toxins. I have been very aware of RSD for

several years and stay in touch with support groups (and people) and

I am aware that there is no cure to this date for this either.

Obviously we are speaking about the central nervous system again not

working properly and have come across several people that have been

diagnosed with RSD after a mold exposure (not all though) and there

was not any type of trama that would have triggered this. I also

understand 25% of RSDer's had just woke up with the symptoms with no

particular reason. I know several people that have this full body,

but it only started out in one area in the beginning.

Thanks,

KC

My first doctor visit didnt see what was up with my daughter, so she eneded up

in bed, fever, thrwoing up, until her appendix burst on the operating table, and

she was filling with poisons.

Yeah, get another oppinion.
