Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Still the runs, Judy.. its been going on for 3+ weeks now.. and I started having pain on eating or drinking anything friday night. I'm discouraged because it has not responded to treatment, and I'm constantly being told that I'm probably eating too much at once and I'm lactose intolerant. Never mind that I've stuck to aged cheeses and live-culture yogurt.. which shouldn't have lactose in it. I'm tired of being told that its my fault I'm having problems, because nothing had changed when this first started, and the changes since have been per doctor's orders.. but I'm still here... trying not to whine a lot.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Thanks, Sheryle- Eggnogg was our Christmas gift from above.. I was coming out of Wal-Mart last Christmas eve, and these little boys were crowded around a box.. and from the box was emanating the terrified yowling of a franic, frightened, tiny kitten. I scattered the boys, & found Eggnogg- he was soaking wet(they thought it was funny when he was freaking out trying to get away from the water), very cold (it was freezing weather out), and very unhappy. The sign said free kittenS.. I hope his siblings were adopted and not loose in the parking lot. I brought him home tucked inside my coat, & we named him Eggnogg because he is a champagne mac tabby- a pale cream color. He's definitely not tiny anymore, but he adores his mom & dad, and has become the sweetest, most loving pet... he's the best cat I never wanted.. but am so glad I got. =) Hugs, Liane & Noggy (see the photos section- I'll post pictures of my fat boy) > Dear Liane: > Hope you are feeling better soon, and how lucky you are to have such a big > huggable tiger.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Liane, Who is telling you its your fault? Gee.....almost 4 weeks is a long time. Is it constant or just occasioanl during the day? How far out are you? I remember staying close to home the first month out as I didnt know how my plumbing was going to react after certain foods. But living next to the bathroom for almost a month is a bit too much, dont you think? Isnt your surgeon doing anything for you?

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Dear Liane: I am so sorry that you are not feeling well. You are usually the cheerleader encouraging others, I have missed your good spirit. I am sending you good thoughts and I will try to swing my 2 Boarder Collies Samba and Ms. Patsy Kline.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Judy, part of it is the way I'm taking it, I'm sure.. but they keep saying that they feel this is a " dietary problem " , and even though my eating habits were the same as they were during weeks 5 to 8 (before this crud started), my surgeon and the medical director have decided that its dietary.. they originally told me to eat only when hungry, and now they're saying because I ate that way I'm dumping everything in the gut at once after eating. I took Flagyl for 7 days & am now on a maintenance dose, and all my tests thus far have come back " normal/negative. " I did convince them that the pain on swallowing stuff (stomach pain, not throat pain) is not due to being overfull (if that is true, I have a one-bite stomach), and I'm to have a barium swallow.. but not sure when.. they're supposed to call me and tell me today. Yesterday was a really low day, because I'm back out on disability and fearful of losing my job, plus I can't even work in my flowerbeds out front or walk my dogs around the block without needing to make a dash for the loo 5 minutes out. I'm feeling a bit better about things today, but I'm just sick of all this- I have a " long " common channel(100cm)- this isn't sposed to be happening, dammit!! Thanks for letting me vent- Hugs, Liane > Liane, > Who is telling you its your fault? Gee.....almost 4 weeks is a long time. > Is it constant or just occasioanl during the day? How far out are you?

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Liane, I must say that I love your post, you are always positive and uplifting. I am sorry that you are having a rough time. I think that you are doing a great job about being proactive about your situation and not just letting it go. I was thinking that maybe you have a bug or something. I remember I had a stomach bug that wouldnt go away and after it was treated with antiobiotics my PCP told me. You will feel better once you stop stressing. Perhaps do you think its stress? I know that any form of stress manifests itself first in my stomach (even now). Please keep us informed of your progress, and I hope you feel better soon. P.S.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Thanks, Lisbeth- I'm wondering if there isn't a hidden infection like Amy had- hopefully my barium swallow will show something. I spoke to my endocrinologist yesterday about the anxiety (because yep, I have an emotional gut & was afraid I wasn't helping) and he's changed my antianxiety meds.. either they're working or I've just become numb to stuff (lol.. riiight), because today I feel better emotionally.. and that helps a LOT. Plus I have the fat tomcat footrest to play with <G>. Thanks for the compliment.. I'll tell Shadow, but Noggy already thinks he's the cat's whiskers, lol.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Liane, I am so sorry things aren't going well for you, and I sure hope you are better soon! Love the pictures of your kitties, and the story of how you got that cute little Eggnog! I have four of my own, plus two dogs! My Louie is a lot like your Shadow -- he's a black DSH feral I rescued from the streets one Halloween in NC (in 1997), and I'm the only one he trusts to this day. He is still scared of my DH, but tolerates my DD -- he's the only one of the four cats who runs from the two dogs... unless I'm around, then he spits and hisses at them. --stella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow walks up to the dogs(I have 2 basenji cross rescues), THEN yowls at them for being " too close " to her, lolol. She's getting so brave in her old age, lol. and.. about me.. Things are gonna get better. =) hugs, Liane (-58 lbs!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Isnt it weird how problems can manifest themselves. I think there is definitely something going on between the mind and stomach. Because I know that emotional turmoil sends my stomach into a fit. Sometimes I think its best to just tell the mind " ok you had your say now calm down Lisbeth " Yeah I talk to my mind. I find that I am a wonderful listener. Plus I am so captivating! But seriously I think you have some good physical therapy going with the kitties they provide you with some peace. Now I want a pet gosh nabbit! Lisbeth Dr. Macura June 25, 2001 " Lili F.
