OMG! What is going on inside of me??
I am gonna buy some activa as soon as I go grocery shopping again. Another thing I heard about was something called keifir (sp?) and that it has the natural bacterias that your body needs to maintain it's gastrointestinal functions, so I will look into that too. I was told I may have to look at a natural foods grocery, still gonna give wal-mart or kroger a look, lol, who knows, it may be there. Today I have felt really good too. My DH had to go to Knoxville for band practice, so my DD and I went out to lunch and then we got her those dang heelies she saved her money for. LOL. Those things were $60!!!!!!!!! BUT, she saved her money for them, every bit of it, so it was hers to spend. It has been so nice outside. We drove around the lake which is drying up on us now due to the leak in Wolfe Creek Dam, it's going to be interesting this summer to see how this effects tourism. Most of the boat ramps are well below lake level, but the ACOE are extending a few of them. I can't WAIT to get out on that lake!!! I feel so "normal" today, and thats a great feeling!!!!!

If you are having the ailments you mentioned, I urge you to seek medical advise. Your health is more important than $$$'s. You can deal with the bills later. Women always take risks with themselves, if it were someone you love or care very deeply about, you would automatically take them to the hospital. SEEK HELP FOR YOURSELF - YOU DESERVE IT!!!

OMG! What is going on inside of me??
OK I don't want to alarm you unnecessarily but have you thought about liver toxicity?? The reason I mention it is you symptoms were similar to a lady I read about in the paper a few months back. She had been taking Tylenol (which is processed through the liver) and she got what she thought was a stomach bug. Went to the doc-yep stomach bug or the flu-so she kept taking tylenol for the yucky feeling. She'd go through periods of time when she felt good and periods of time when she felt bad. She'd feel sick to her stomach and she also had body aches and generally felt like you know what. This went on for a couple of weeks. Her dh came home at lunch one day to check on her and found her unconscious. He called the squad and they got her to the hospital. She had liver failure and had to have a transplant. Now it's my understanding that aspirin and ibuprofen are processed through the kidneys but it's also my understanding that the liver processes a lot of things as it's the body's filtration system. Just wanted to give you a head's up if you continue to be ill. Good luck and ((HUGS))

You need to get something for the nausea. you really don't want to risk tearing those stitches. i feel for you. I was very lucky and didn't even sneeze the first month. Laughing was bad enough! As for the pain I can relate. I acturally got on this site at 2 a.m. because i was so worried. The wonderful thing about this site is SOMEONE has went thru what you're feeling. I felt like i had been shot in the side and had a lot of pulling pain under my belly button. I think i was hurting where the tubes and all were cut loose. The sisters told me all my organs in the area were having to find new homes with all the new space inside me. But I was terrified at the moment and the sisters helped. This pain eased after about 2 weeks. At 3 weeks I was off the Rx meds. I still have a bad day every now and then and not necessarity when I've overdone things. But as time goes by you'll learn the surgery was the best thing you could have done. Take care sister.

Hey ladies!! Just checking in to let everyone know I am still doing okay.
Jpgurl: The thought of liver toxicity did cross my mind and I mentioned it to my DR who wasn't concerned about it because of the reason you mentioned, that the Ibu. I was taking was processed through my kidneys and not liver. And I hadn't had any tylenol for a while. But it still concerns me that it was brushed off.
I have been trying to dry my body out of all the toxins. I haven't been taking medications at ALL. So far so good. I have been eating "ecologically friendly" foods for my body. Alot of whole foods, grains etc, and I have also been drinking this stuff called Kefir. It restores the natural environment to your digestive system. And I SWEAR, it works!! If anyone hasn't heard of it and is having problems with their stomachs, google it to learn more about it!!! It is supposed to also help with fatigue and other ailments as well. I have also started drinking soy milk. I am putting my insides through a healthy body boot camp to try to get things right in there again. I hate feeling sluggish. I have been researching and researching on this stuff. I have found out all sorts of interesting facts along the way. I am also going to TRY to not eat as much meat and get my protien from other sources. ALOT of our meat is infused with sodium nitrate, which is awful stuff and can make us feel bad. I just hope all of this works. Like I said...I have been feeling great the past few days and I hope it continues!! Thank you to all my sisters on here that have helped me through all the rough spots! It means so much to be able to come to a place and feel like you are understood and that someone will be here to listen and offer advice! ******HUGS******
