Hi Sharon,

OUCH OUCH OUCH! I kind of know what you're going through - no fun at

all! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, and YOU need to

take it easy and take as much care as possible!

Thanks for keeping us updated!

Love Lana

Hang in there Sharon, it's good to have results, but the task now is to

forge ahead with them.

Hi Sis!

I'm happy that on one hand all the tests you went through finally

showed the problems behind all your pain, but on the other hand I

sure wish things weren't that complicated for you! :-( I hope your

shoulder and knee OS can sort you out hun. My gosh, I can't imagine

what you must feel like right now. I have superspinatus-itis (excuse

my spelling errors!) because when my shoulder moves about and

subluxes it frequently pinches that tendon and gets things nicely

inflammed and crampy. I can't imagine what a tear in that tendon

would feel like! :-S :-( It's really too bad that with your stomach

you can't be on NSAIDs as it sounds like you've got so much

inflammation! :-( But side effects from being NSAID intollerant sure

are pure misery. I wonder...do you have access to PENSAID down

under? I wanted to try it but my GP was afraid I'd react to it. But

perhaps it would be some way to get some anti inflams to your worst

spots without irratating your ulcer?

Hang in there Sharon. I " m so, so sorry that you're having all this

rough stuff with your shoulder popping out all over the place, having

to deal with the darn ER staff all the time who don't 'get it' let

alone know how to deal with your body, and having to cope with all

the extra grief this brings you. I sure wish I could give you some

real hugs and help through this tough time. Hang in there hun!

Big (((HUGS))) and many thoughts
