Same here for the two I've had. First one I dreaded and fretted and worried.

They kept me medicated during the proceedure and it was over before I knew both

times. It was like it was over before it began. I know, no one could tell me

not to worry and told me horror stories besides so I was really worried but keep

the faith that there is someone higher up looking out for you and many here.

Love, hugs, prayers, and positive thoughts for you. Jan in CA +/:=)

I had to stop taking vioxx and baby aspirin. Anything else that might cause

blood thinning. Here, I think I still have my instructions...

" Please take all medications for heart, breathing, seizures, or blood

pressure problems. All other medications should be brought with you to take

after the test. If you are on insulin, take 1/2 of your morning dose the

day of the procedure.

Aspirin, coumadin, or any other blood thinning medications should not be

taken for 5 days prior to the procedure. This includes over the counter such

as advil, aleve, etc. (They also wrote vioxx on my instructions.) You may

take TYLENOL ONLY. "

Didn't the GI doctor's office give you any instructions? If you have any

questions call them Monday morning.

Good luck,

Suzanne

Hi a,

Thank you I am soooo glad the test are over with. I was very nervous. The

doctors office called today to see how I was feeling. I told them I had been

dizzy

and lighthead on Friday and Saturday but they told me that is normal. So all is

well with all this. So the pain is from scar tissue. However wc is on my case.

No

check today and they will no longer pay for my maicalcin. So I am in no mood to

fight with them, I am going to let it go until I see the Rheumy in December. No

one

actually treats me for the neck injury since there is nothing anyone can do.

They

called the Rheumy and he said he really isn't treating for the neck injury. He

was

honest but maybe if I explain things we can get somewhere. I just don't have

the

strength todeal with it now.

How are you doing? I am a little behind in reading the messages. I am

trying

to make sure my house is in good shape before the surgery. I want my Halloween

stuff up for my Granddaughters. I so wish I didn't have to dothis. I should be

up

at school studying stuff.

Thank You for your note,

Lynn

Lynn,

Your doctors seem so caring. Not often do doctors call to check on

patients. Sorry WC is giving you a hard time. I hope one day soon it is

all resolved.

I¹m doing ok thanks for asking. No better, no worse.

I¹m glad I don¹t have to do Halloween anymore. I¹ve always hated it, but

did it for my kids. I don¹t get trick or treaters, so I don¹t have to worry

about it. Maybe when my grandson is older, I¹ll do a few. I hope you enjoy

it.

Thanks a, I am glad those trips to the gyn and test are over. I am like

you, I

have always hated Halloween. I would never spend much money on it or anything.

Now I do have to decorate because of the Grandchildren. However, I am not going

to

do the inside unless one of the says something. Becky might since she loves one

of

the witches I have. Hears hoping she has forgotten about it. I just don't have

the energy to decorate. Since I had to stop the metho, I am really flaring.

But I

will just have to deal with that. My insurance company called the other day

wanting to know who would be with me when I came, stuff like that. Told them I

will be with me, everyone works or has school. But I am okay with it, I think I

would rather be alone. Anyway she ask what medications I take, and I just

happened

to mention vitamin E. She told me call to's office immediately because they

didn't tell me to stop taking it, prior to the surgery. I called and sure

enough

you can't take it when you are going to have surgery. It causes bleeding, I

wanted

to pass this along since I suggested take it. So I guess my legs will

start

jumping around again. Better safe than sorry.

Hope you are feeling well,

Lynn
