Thanks, Everyone!

Thanks for the nice words. I appreciate the support of my Maysters. What would I do without ya?! Still having pain in my chest but nothing as bad as Wednesday night It is very disconcerting. It varies in intensity and where it is. Chest into arm. Rib area and chest. Left side, right side. Who knows. I did go to work today but I skipped the gym. Figured I'd lay off that a bit. Hard to do but I think it is sensible. Called my PCP for an appointment. Next Tuesday?! Can you believe that? Rich called back and is getting me seen on Thursday but not by my doctor... by the nurse practioner. I'm thrilled. Geez, you end up in the ER and they tell you that you must follow up with your doctor right away and this is what I get. Today was made worse by some allergy issues... post-nasal drip invading my pouch, sensitivity to perfumes and such. Was belching and it was hard to get my protein shake in this afternoon. Did take some sudafed (generic) and that helped. I hated to take anything at this point. I'm definitely skittish. Hope everyone else is well! Hugs to all, Kathy

Hope the pains go away soon. Is sudafed one of the things we can have?

We can have everything that isn't a Nsaid (like Ibuprofen, etc.) and nothing that is sustained release, etc. I've even taken a few gel caps and just poked holes in them and sucked out the stuff inside. Don't recommend it as it is NAAAAAASTY! I still break up even small pills just because I'm afraid of it getting stuck. Michelle

Thanks

Hi Kathy, Two more days and you will get seen by your own home team. Hope they can figure out what the heck is goin' on gal. Hang on it will be Thursday in a wink. I am so sorry you are going thru this difficulty. With the pn drip and belching could you also have some trapped gas? Never used to understand why babies cry with gas till I suffered it myself and it can be soooo painful. And not easy at all to tell if { it's } the culprit. I don't have much medical smarts but I do wish you comfort and peace till this struggle is resolved. God Bless you, We do depend on you so much here on our May board and count on your faithful support and generous sharing with us all. Hope you feel better soon, Mary
