Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Well, the doctor has finally cleared me to exercise again. She did all kinds of tests, multiple ultrasounds (to make sure the cysts and fibroids weren't growing) and a CT scan (you don't want to know where the Triple Contrast goes in! UGH!) and determined that my cysts and fibroids are too small to be causing my pain, there is nothing wrong with my gallbladder, apendix, heart, aorta, intestines, etc. (Yeah, she checked everything!), and has narrowed it down to a bacteria. Thats right a bacteria is causing all this pain! It's called H. Pylori and is believed to be the major contributor to ulcers and also an increased risk of stomach cancer. So, she's put me on 2 antibiotics, Pepcid, Peptobismol, and Miralax, and said I have to take them for 2 weeks and I should be fine. Amazingly, I'm feeling better already. The side effects of the meds aren't that bad, so she said I could workout because she's no longer worried about it causing something to rupture. I've already done one workout today, but I'm not done with what all I'm going to do, so I'll post my workouts later. But while I'm alternating between exercise and homework, I had to hop online and check in with all of you and try to catch up on email. Yeah, I admit, I skipped a bunch and hit delete. There's just no way I can catch up and still prepare for the two tests I have Monday and write a paper while sneaking in exercise in between. If I missed anything major, please catch me up. Okay, back to statistics...ugh! Tonya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
