Quick update on me (if anyone gives a flip..)

Floinef. A PA buddy of mine is quite concerned with me being on it.  I've got to do some more research on it as well (with all my research, *when* do I find time to do laundry, dishes, and oh, taking care of the kiddos?)

You certainly have a full time job there Andrea. I personally hate housework but somehow find the need to keep things in order. I told Lee how happy I was the other day I thought I had done all the laundry put it all up and was finished LMAO Hell NO every time I look around or in the basket there is more laundry. I think it is a never ending job like dishes. As far as the medication here is a link I found. http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/fludro_ids.htm                                        Annie

Have mercy!  That sounds rough!  I hope that you get this figured out soon.  Feel better and take care.  Lorie Anne

Well, Sweetie, I also give a flip and am sorry you are going through this.  I too hope the miracle pills work!

I'll keep you in my prayers too!!!!!!!!!

I sure give a flip about you!  Hope this works out for you, the miracle pills and all.   I didn't have fainting spells, but I started having falling spells.  Didn't black out or anything, would just fall down unexpectedly.  Scarred up my knees pretty bad.  It was around 6 months postop.  I had labs drawn which showed that my B1 level was low.  Got started on *my* miracle pill, which was thiamine 100 mg daily ... and haven't fallen since!   So, I hope you have the same results!  Best wishes.

Sorry to hear this, but at least there's a reason now. Scary though for those of us who feel dizzy or get blurred vision. With your drive, I'm sure you'll find lots of info. Take it easy on yourself.

Hey Girl! I give a flip, too!!  Sounds like a really special kind of hell, one I will go on the R&R board to read more about.  LOVE your sense of humor!!  I'm sure it was a terrible experience, much like a couple of weeks ago when they stuck this really long needle into my back and shot me full of steroids and pain killers.  Not so bad really until they went in the final 5 mm or so and I about jumped out of the CT machine  because it HURT LIKE HELL!!!!  Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that I was laying face down with my ass in the air halfway in a CT machine.  Lovely visual, I'm sure.  And the real fun part (NOT) since then has been that steroids will knock your estrogen levels down or out, depending on how much they give you.  So I've been feeling like **** and had a period 2 weeks early, followed by the regularly scheduled hell this week. I do feel better now though since I finally got the feeling back in my left leg and foot.   And I'm not trying to make this about me really, but I thought you might enjoy my trials and that it might help make you feel better about your own.  Lucky for me I might get years of mileage out of this.  I do hope you feel much better very soon, and that the miracle pill works for you.  This sucks, Babe.  Keep me posted.  I'm keeping you in my thoughts.

Of course we give a flip about you Andrea! I'm so sorry to hear you have been going through such a rough time. I certainly hope the miracle pill helps and it doesn't call additional problems.  Keep us posted on how you are feeling and be safe! (((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))) Melinda P.S. One of these days I do hope we can meet in person! :)
