Thank you Jess this is what I was trying to convey. Also it's

possible to raise your sugar when having a hypo within minutes just

by eating something sweet candy, chocolate, honey.. My sugar has

stayed below 200 since using my 5 units yesterday and I have battled

hypo feelings because I am so used to it being 300 or more most

days.I am still not sure what the reaction was in the beginning I

felt.

Kristy (and all),

Hi, I need to wait for the cultures to come back to see what kind of

yeast it is. I did not want to even mess around with wet mounts this

time. I think, for me, it is a waste of time. I told my doc that I am

tired of everyone guessing as to what is wrong with me and I wanted the

culture to be grown for several weeks, so we know for sure, if it is

yeast, what kind it is. I don't even trust cultures or biopsies

anymore. I am just getting so so discouraged with everything now. I

saw my family doc. today and he is running lots of blood work on me to

try and find out what the heck is going on with me. I am seeing him in

three weeks and I will let everyone know what turned up, if anything.

He is doing a monospot, Lyme titre, TSH, ect.....I have just been sick

for a long while. I do not have a spleen, which makes it very hard for

my body to fight infections. The spleen filters out bacteria, viruses,

and anything that should not be in the blood and I do not have one.

Anyway, I hope I can get some answers.

Thanks everyone for the support and I hope everyone can get well and get

ANSWERS! I think that is what we are all looking for, isn't it?

Mindy-hugs to all...

Hi Lori, I just had a vestibulectomy one week ago so I'll offer a little advice:

Keep ice on it (I didn't have it necessarily right on it, but very close) nearly

24 hours a day

for at least the first 2-3 days. Keeping it numb helped a lot and kept the

stitches from

becoming stressed and I can almost sit comfortably now.

Schedule a couple weeks off of work and/or get extra help with kids. I have a 9

month old

and the next Monday after a Friday surgery when my husband went back to work was

hell.

After that things got easier and now I'm sore but functional.

Take whatever sedation they offer you.

Overall, in my experience (full vestibulectomy, severe vestibulitis, conscious

sedation) it

wasn't too bad. Good luck with it all.

Just wanted you guys to know that I haven't forgotten you. I have just been so sick. This afternoon is the first time that I have felt even semi-normal in a long time. I am fighting off some horrible infection. It is in my lungs, but also in my intestines. I have had no desire to eat. Today, I got hungry and ate some food.

I am taking so many drugs and powerful ones. I am sure they have contributed to my ill health. I pray that I continue to improve. I have lost all ability to be tolerant with sickness and especially pain. I just can't handle any more.

I still have cultures out. These docs have drained gallons of blood. Now, they are all off for a long holiday weekend.

When you think things can not get worse, they do. A few days ago my back "went out". I am so weak but did the exercises anyway. Then I began having horrendous knee pain. I had Lortab here and that is the only reason that I have not committed Hary-Cary. My Lupus Rash has been getting better with treatment, but today we saw new ones coming. Aaargh!

This whole last round of illness has just wiped me out. My spirit is weak. My sense of humor is lost. I hate being sick. I hate it!!

Keep me in your prayers. I am down, but not out!

Queen Joyce, I'm so sorry that you've

been so ill.

Fairness just isn't part of this mess is it!

I hope that you begin to feel stronger and more like yourself.

Vicky,

I feel that I am not worthy of your admiration and respect. I have been in the depths of despair, even searching for faith. Sickness, as you know, can weaken you in all ways. I have had such nausea that all I wanted was to die. Finally, yesturday it began to subside. I was able to eat. Today I feel stronger. I finished my Levaquin today. I hope it did it's job. I began to feel better once a few days ago and then it came back with a vengence. In the midst of all this my back went out and then my knee began swelling and hurting. Along with no breath and sores all over, I was ready to throw in the towel. During all this I have not been brave or courageous in any way. Just fed up.

I am saying this to let you know that all the heartache that you have suffered, all the doubts about your self worth, all your feelings of despair are not unique to you. I am weak and doubtful just as you. But, I hold in my heart the one thing that holds me together and that is the scripture that tells me that "God is faithful."

You hold that close in your heart, Vicky. I am always thinking of you. Thank you for your prayers.
