Heres the NEW thing; for several weeks now, I have had a greyish color discharge from 1 breast just in one area, not the entire breast and it has stumped me.......At times I have thought maybe it...
That pain sounds familiar to me as well, unfortunately. I hurt in the middle/upper, (epigastric), part of my abdomen, that continues over to my left upper abdomen, and then down about 1/2 way on my...
/community/emoticons/confused.gif It has been a long time since I've posted anything, but I've been feeling the need to come back to a place where I can express my problems and people understand. I...
I think I will ask my doctor about something to help with the fatigue, because I hate not having so little energy. Some days I do pretty good, but most days I am just wiped out, I do a little...
I am sorry to hear that we all seem to have this fatigue to some degree. I do push myself when I feel well, and sometimes won't sleep at all that day or that night - it is like I feel so good and I...
I do take mobic, but am a little concerned, because i have ibs and they don't like me to take nsaids (gi docs don't), but my primary doc is hoping I will be ok if I just take my meds for reflux; so...
I am just wondering; I know fatigue is part of fibro, but I am like this an awful lot. All my life pretty much I have gotten tierd easily even when I was very active. I did have mono when I was 13...
/community/emoticons/sad.gif Well, I have done it again: I have post-infectious ibs that is severe. The pain is horrible and always has been. When it started out I had horrific ibs-d, but now it is...
I take Cymbalta and have for about 2 yrs now I think, round about anyway, and it works well for me for my depression and helps my pain I am sure. I have had to stop my cymbalta relatively suddenly...
May I join this pity party, sounds like lots of fun and the food sounds wonderful!!!! Then the slumber party; right up my alley, my bed is so comfortable I stay in it a lot, because I can relieve my...
Thanks so much for the information; I will definately find out if it will be guided or not. I am glad to hear that they helped you for a few years. 45 is very young too to be having this type of...
I feel like I have enough to be classified as a drug store. It's crazy I have my regular meds, then I have my as needed meds. I keep mine in a makeup case and not a little one either. I am just too...
My doctor says I may benefit from facet injections in my lumbar spine. I am newly dx with arthritis and it has been giving me a lot of trouble in my lower back, buttocks and thigh. It changes from...
I am with you on this one, I have been feeling awful lately. I guess I am down in the dumps again. The pain and fatigue are really getting to me lately and working on my nerves. I often feel...
ok, so I saw the PA today and this is what she told me about my mri and facet arthritis: Facet arthritis is just explaining where the arthritis is located. It is just arthritis - degenerative...
Oh my goodness, I feel so bad for you. I know about the financial strain; trust me, I know all too well. I haven't been able to work in over a year, really a year and a half. We struggle constantly...
sheryl=jk, I am sorry I haven't been on here lately; I have been so sick with pain and fatigue. I was too sick to even go to the doctor. I rescheduled for this Wed, but I will have to see the PA...
Yes, I have been wondering about changing anti-dep, I have been on this one at this dose for about 2 years now I guess. I will talk to him on Thursday and let him know what's going on, but last time...
I am 39 too and the mri said major changes especially in the l3,l4 and l5 area, not sure about the rest yet, because the nurse was telling me over the phone. Like I said I go to the doctor this...
I have heard that uc and chron's are sometimes hard to diagnose and often are told you have ibs because they miss it. I have really been sick since Oct 04. My cousin was diagnosed with ibs for years...
sheryl=jk, i am sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with arthritis too. I have felt soo bad lately and in so much pain. I hope to get some answers on the 10th when I see the doc. I don't know...
Thanks for the replies. Again I see the GI specialist in August, so we will see what the new plan will be. It could just be ibs, mine is just sooooo bad, (which they are aware of), that has been the...
Good news! Normal exam no cancer, no scar tissue. Does have very small hiatal hernia, which doc says shouldn't give any trouble at all. Doc says lots of times the CT scans give these readings falsly...
My husband is going for an endoscopy this morning at 11:30 am. Two weeks ago he was taken to the ER via ambulance because he could hardly breathe and couldn't move due to the pain when he tried to...
I have been diagnosed with severe post infectious ibs since oct 2004; At that time I have high fever, wgt loss >10 lbs, vomiting severe diarrhea and horrific abdominal pain. Lots of test ran, but...
Hey everyone, I am new to the arthritis forum, but not to healing well. I have several other problems including ibs and fibromyalgia among other things. I am hoping you can help me with some...
I have been dx with post-infectious ibs x 4 1/2 yrs now. I had a terrible illness - ? viral possibly meningitis, but a spinal wasn't done at the time, so never know for sure. Anyway, I never got...
I just read the other post and realized this should have been addressed to Taylor, oops....
Sarita, I just want you to know that I am a lot like you. I have had severe post-infectious IBS since Oct. 2004. Like you, the doctors say mine is so severe. I have pretty much constant pain and...
Roxanne, Regarding what to tell people when they ask. If you tell them you have IBS, don't be surprised if they say they have IBS too. Alot of people have IBS, but most people I know that have it, it...
Sheryl, you are right, we are all too young to be going through this. This condition is so debilitating especially to just be called a syndrome. It seems to me that as much pain and fatigue and...
Goodness Roxanne, your story sounds so familiar, it is almost like reading my own story. I feel for you, I truely do. I have had this for over 4 years now and unfortunately it hasn't gotten any...
I have been doing better than I was, Thank you. My daughter got a clean bill of health at the doctor yesterday and the baby is doing great. I was just up with her feeding her and playing with her for...
Sheryl, I got to the point to where I was too sick to come on line here too. Someone had actually suggested that maybe I shouldn't be on this site so much, because I was constantly thinking about my...
I had forgotten about having c-diff, which is a bacterial infection that causes a lot of gastrointestinal symptoms, such as abdominal pain and lots of diarrhea with foul smelling stools. If you have...
Hey Emily, I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this too. Your story sounds a lot like mine and I am sure many others too. Like you, I got really sick, probably viral and lost a lot of...

Thanks for all the replies and advice. It helps just having someone listen who truely understands the challenges of trying to function on a daily basis with IBS and other problems. I try to keep my...
I haven't been on this site in months, until this week, but I have been missing understanding and communication from others who truely understand. I have been debating on which catagory to put this...
Pinkybg, I almost thought I was reading my own story; I have anxiety, depression, PTSD, and agoraphobia ? sp; Lately, I have been under a lot of stress. At first, I couldn't sleep at all, it was...
Thanks scared2getsick and shelter and I am so thankful for the prayers. Scared2getsick, it seems as though you are going through an awful lot as well. My mama is also taking care of her mother who...

So sorry howylncat for what you all went through and i am sorry she didn't forgive herself, but i am glad u forgave her. This thing with my daughter is not easy; actually a lot of this probably is my...

Hi, I normally post on IBS, Fibro, Chronic Pain and Migraine forums, but I have some heart issues going on and was hoping maybe some of you had some suggestions / advice: For a couple of weeks or so...
Not sure if I should have started a new thread or not, but decided just to post it here; 2 - 3 days ago I got a migraine headache; Off an on - Thursday night I felt really bad and my headache...
Well, last pm I ended up with a fever of 101.0 and chills along with the migraine. The only other symptom I had was my heart rate and rhythm was all over the place: fast then slow, extra beats then...
Thanks for all the replies; Right now I am going to try to deal day-day and encourage a place of her own, just as I did the other day. She has been with her friends since Thursday night and this is...
Update: Dtr called last pm to say that she is trying to find a second job and that she and one of her girlfriends have found a place to rent, that is reasonable rate. I told her I thought she did...
