I'm so sorry to hear that. I wish your post would have contained better news. I'm also sorry to hear you had to quit your job. God, your symptoms sound so much like what I have right now. I have the edema also. Hands, calves, ankles, feet. About 2+ pitting. I have Lasix and take it occasionally, but it really makes me dizzy and gives me migraines, for which I just don't need to deal with right now. I have also gained the weight like crazy. Used to weigh an IDEAL 120-125, then wham!, just started gaining like crazy. My heaviest was just this fall at 180!! Thankfully, I hide my weight well, and everyone was shocked that I weighed that much. You'd never know. But in Dec, I was put on Topamax as a mood stabilizer for severe, severe depression and have lost mucho weight! However, I have also been dx'd with CA, and my doc believes that the CA is causing most of the weight loss. I have gone from 180 3 wks ago, to 148 on Fri last wk. And I know that I have told you about my failed C-spine fusion, and now I have a severely herniated disk at L5-S1. I am still in chronic pain, and even with a dx of multiple myeloma, docs still refuse to treat my pain. So, everyday is a living hell for me. I have to go to work because I still have that travel contract and have to fulfill that contract. So, every AM, I have to literally talk myself into getting up because the pain is so bad. Then I have to put on a facade for a 10 hr shift and pretend that everything's hunky dory. It sucks. Hey, email me if I can help you out with anymore info. I'd love to hear more from you. I miss hearing from you! e ----- Original Message ----- From: Martha Murdock & (gigi*) Lawrence Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 2:58 AM BreastImplantNews Subject: Subject Reference: Fw: need help ============================================================PROSAVVY: GUARANTEED SATISFACTION WITH YOUR CONSULTANT!With more than 1,800 pre-qualified consulting firms fromevery major practice area, ProSavvy reduces the time/riskswith obtaining consulting services.
