Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 OK Kathi in OK I am up too and don't think any sleep is in my future any time soon. The pain and abdominal pain is unrelenting. I have been lurking since yesterday, when I started feeling poorly. I have some severe lupus symptoms, that have not been relieved either. My nephrologist can't clear me for surgery as I have massive amounts of blood in my urine. So now this has to be investigated. So one else on the list wrote that there were too many postings and that we had lost some members, so I am trying to keep my postings to the board at a minimum. People have true needs out there and I don't want them to leave over nonsense that I might be posting/ Thanks for being there to listen to me vent. My abdomen is so painful, the pain is relentless. Even water is aggravating my symptoms. I think I am going to have Ron take me to the ER tomorrow if for no other reason that to get 4 hours of pain relief and have it documented that I was there and don't have any other abdominal problems. It is times like this, that you just get so overwhelmed that I can see what leads people to do things that are irreversible. Hoping for a better day tomorrow! Hope this puts you to sleep if you are not there already. I will talk with you soon! Gentle, tender, Mr Sandman angel hugs, Debs in FL PS: We never did hear from Ron's parents again. It breaks Ron's heart and it gets me pissed, but we now live our life as though they are gone already. What a sad, sad situation. Ron's brother doesn't even call him anymore. Even his brother hasn't called. Well, my family is no better....I called my sister and told her that I was having surgery on Thursday. She told me that she took off all this time with her husband and his condition when he couldn't fart and therefore, he doesn't want her to take any more trips away from him. so somehow I will manage again. Good night, sleep well and I will talk with you tomorrow. Debs in FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Debs, this is very distressing. What did you nephrologist suggest you do? Please call the GI man! There is no sense in waiting any longer. I am so sorry that you feeling worse and worse.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Hi Debs, If you go to the ER, Don't go accepting whatever they offer, Demand action They are working for you and you are not there for their amusement. Kidney problems are not to be taken lightly. Mine shut down totally twice when my Lupus was active. My weight went from 145 to over 300 (fluid retention) They used all types of meds to try and get things going again. Finally I was placed on a gurney for dialysis. The doctor checked me once more before proceeding and found a slight weight loss. I was immediately put back in bed and the meds increased. It was injectable Lasix that turned the tide. I remember quite well the side effects of it. While it was being injected I got the dry heaves and felt as if the whole exterior of my body was on fire. Not a nice feeling but it was that or nothing. Please don't let anyone jack you around, This is serious business. Best of luck. Huggs Lena > Debs, this is very distressing. What did you nephrologist suggest you do? > > Please call the GI man!

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 You're so right about this, Kathi. I wrote the exact same thing privately. Deb's optimism and humor encourage and sustain me in the bad times, and just plain give me joy in the good times. I go on digest version when I'm out of town as to not overwhelm my mailbox, and for many people digest version is probably a good option. I've been in a couple of other groups through the years, and have always chosen digest version. I just happen to love y'all so much that I want each and every email. ;-) Love and hugs, Carol Re: [ ] Sleepless in south Florida Debs///aka Lucy...I wasnt already asleep but went to watch the estrogen channel as my husband calls it(Lifetime) in hopes it would lull me to sleep....I am sorry you are still poorly.....everyone else is giving advice on the to do so I wont repeat.....but at some point you have got to do something...as far as losing people and not posting I dont see what you post as nonsense only good fun and chuckles which we all need....as has been posted before they can recieve the digest and not fill up their mail box or even opt to go the the groups home and read the messages....hope you get all this resolved soon....hugs from Kathi in OK --- Auntblabbie2000@... wrote: > OK Kathi in OK > > I am up too and don't think any sleep is in my > future any time soon. > > The pain and abdominal pain is unrelenting.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Hi Deb, How are you doing today? I am so worried about you. Also, what Rons family is doing is so wrong. Families can really make you feel bad but there is not much you can do about. Let me know how the day is going.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Debs: I agree with the others - you must go to the E.R. if not for yourself, for your family and friends who need you. I am so sorry that you are in such pain and it must be so frustrating to be told to wait, and wait for treatment. Go to the E.R. and demand that you be given treatment, that you need to find out what is going on, and that you cannot deal with this any longer by yourself. These things you describe can be very serious, even life-threatening, and we don't want to loose you. Your posts are wonderful - don't even think about cutting them down - we need to talk about our problems yes, but we also need to be friends and hear, as friends do, whatever else is going on in our lives that make us who we are. You have a great sense of humor, a way with words, and we need this. Again, please go to the E.R. as soon as possible - take care of yourself, you come first right now, don't feel as if you are complaining too much or bothering anyone - just get it taken care of, okay??!! Let us know how it goes. Kathe in CA __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Debs, I hope you went to the ER. You just can¹t go on like this. I¹m so worried about you. I have never seen you post any nonsense. I value everything you have to say. You make us laugh even when we just want to cry. I feel I am the one that posts more nonsense when I post a lot of info on food and nutrition that maybe most aren¹t interested in reading. If I sent out a survey and asked the group what they¹d like to read more of and less of, I can guarantee that they want to read more about your cabana boys and the wheels of denial! Please don¹t limit your posting in any way. We need the laughter and you sure have a way of giving it to us! I just wish you felt better and had good medical care. I pray that your silence means that you are getting it. I don¹t see how they can do surgery on Thursday with so much blood in your urine. Hoping to hear from you soon.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 I¹m glad to hear that Carol. Right now I am completely entranced with additives, preservatives, nutrition and how it correlates to our diseases. One thing I found that makes me wonder how strong the connection is, is the fact that most people I know do not get the RDA (recommended daily allowances) of most of the vitamins and minerals. Coupled with the bombardment of additives and preservatives, it¹s no wonder our bodies have lost the ability to heal itself. Although research points strongly to genetics causing these diseases, it also points to nutrition and toxins playing a big role. Since so many of us, me included, have no known genetic link, how do we compare to those that have a genetic link? Is one¹s disease more aggressive than the other¹s? These are the things that keep going through my head as I look for anything to tie it all together. I just don¹t want to fill the list with things no one wants to read, especially now that our webpage is done and I can just fill that with all my musings and articles. Hugs, a > << If I sent out a survey and > asked the group what they¹d like to read more of and less of, I can > guarantee that they want to read more about your cabana boys and the wheels > of denial! >> > > So true!

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 Oh Debs, I am feeling so bad for you. We all know how it feels when the pain won't stop and it is horribly frustrating. I also know how people can justify jumping into an irreversible decision. A couple of weeks ago, a young man jumped off the bridge just down the road. This bridge is notorious for suicides and this man was successful. Many people wondered what could make such a young man do something like this. It just goes to show that although someone looks ok on the outside doesn't mean that they are ok on the inside where you can't see it. Unfortunately most people just don't take the time to get to know someone or to help them. I sincerely hope that you can find some relief soon. Many gentle hugs back to you Stacey in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 I also agree with Carol and Kathy. I love your humor Debs. It keeps me smiling in times of despair. And I don't know what I would do without the cabana boy service that you provide. LOL Love ya Stacey in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
