I really enjoyed the chat room the other night!! I appreciate that you all listened and helped me, by answering my questions. Thanks sooo much!!
I am doing a little better today. I called my doctor yesterday, because the shot site has developed a sunken spot that looks like a crater, it is soooo gross, and it scared me.... it reminds me of the recluse spider bite I had 12 years ago...... ugh!! She finally called me back last night, at 9:30...which was a suprise. She said she expected that the shot would do that. That it will heal from the inside out. She also told me to try the Levsin for a couple of days to see if it helps the belly pain. She said to try it first, and if it doesn't help, then she would do a catscan, and she also wanted me to see the gastro doc. I started the levsin last night. It seems to have decreased the pain. I have taken 3 doses, and it is helping. I am so glad, this has been an absolutey horrible month and a half.
I have had this pain before, but never this bad. I think that all the "sicknesses" that I have been through, and all the meds. just triggered this. But I never knew the pain could get this bad!!
The levsin makes me soooooooooo sleepy... does that pass by any chance? I sure hope so. Anyway, I feel better, so that's a GOOD thing!! Hi to all I haven't seen forever.
The last couple of months have been kind of hellish health wise. Which is the time when I should be here the most.... but I am a tad dense sometimes..
Hope you are all doing good!! Just wanted to let you know whats going on, and I will talk to you all later. Boy, Iv'e missed this place!! Peg, I sure hope you are feeling good now!! Hi Sally!! Hi Oma, hope you are recovering quickly from your knee surgery!! Hi Wayne!! Hi Momster!!
Hi Everybody!!! Love to all of you...... It's great to be back!!
Talk to you soon.... Love Dorrie

Hiya Dorrie!
Well, I must say that I am relieved to hear that you are feeling a little better. I was so worried about you after our chat Mon. night. I can't believe all of the complications that you have suffered in the past few weeks. Hopefully the tide is now turning with the report that the abdominal pain is a little better on the levsin. Maybe you won't need further tests after all. The problem from the shot may be something called "aseptic necrosis", which occurs now and then.
Keep us posted and PLEEZE feel better!!

Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.
