I have felt kinda toxic
(This is not me now. I just wanted to make you guys laugh. This was during our biohazard nursing training at the dept of defense in Annistion.
Something weird has been going on with my health.
I really just don't know. Simply put: Stomach pain and difficulty swallowing. Since the beginning of Feb. Maybe an ulcer. I'm on Protonix now. Complicated story is: test results trying to determine the stomach pain say: borderline diseased gall bladder, pancreatitis, and a liver that is not homogenous, Amalyse levels that are 2 1/2 times too high and full body hives for 26 days, not to mention a bout of bronchitis with a fever and trip to the emergency room. Blah. So 5 weeks of blood work, pain, ultrasounds, HIDA scans, and more blood work later, my doc sent me to a GI specialist to make sense of it all. He seemed to think all these tests are inconclusive, and it might just be an ulcer. I hope so. Well see. I've been on a ton of prednisone for the hives- that is working! So I am really feeling better. I am doing lots to keep my stress under control- which is helping- so I'm really feeling better there too! I'll keep you posted! ~Maura
PS. I miss you guys!!
