Thanks Heidi...haven't been reading or lurking for a while

now...basicaly trying now to to recover from that demon from hell

attack. I lost 12 lbs in a week!!! I sure hope my pain mgmt doc

can get it to the point where I'm stable and can function. Yes, at

least now a dx, however, I'm paying big time for it. But, the key

seems to be to stay " cleaned out " because now even gas or ANYTHING

to do with the bowel system seems to make the nausea come on in a

bad way. I have a 15 yr history of panic attacks...and now I'm

starting to get them when I feel that awful nausea coming on...I

start hyperventilating and everything. I'm just so scared of the ER

visits because they make me wait forever AND all they do is med me

up; and send me on my way. I know, probably nothing new to most of

you!! Anyway, I'm feeling ok today (yesterday I though I was

starting into another downward spiral again because of bouts

ofnausea).....anyway sorry for no replying sooner. but if you guys

don't hear from me for awhile, it's because I'm just not up to even

lurking never mind posting.

Thanks again
