update on me

Hi I wanted to let you know some things. I thought I had thrush, nope. I have a virus related to chicken pox. Basically what my doctor said was that it is like chicken pox of the mouth. It is painful, she gave me lidocaine to numb my mouth ( lidocaine is nasty). Well you all know I had to get on her scale and see my progress. Before surgery, her scales would not weigh me. Today it did the good news is I am down 50 lbs from surgery a little over 4 weeks ago. Take care Erin

wow. did she call the mouth sores shingles? my daughter had that a long, long time ago hope it gets better soon. dorthe

no I don't have shingles. It is just something different that is related to but has nothing to do with chicken pox. I wish I could remember what she said. All I know is that I caught it from someone. The sad thing is that I can only think of 4 places I have been since surgery.

Erin, I'm sorry your feeling under the weather. I really hope you start feeling better soon. Congratulations on your weight loss!!! Hugs, Jamie

coxsacki virus.. but im not sure thats how its spelled... is that what you have? If so its really contagious! Make sure your hand washing and disinfecting is really good the next 7-10 days.

no that was not the name of it, but I was told it is extremely contageous and to be careful...I am trying to find the name...

Erin, GOOD FOR YOU!!! (on your 50 pound weight loss...........not your chx pox) Why do mouth sores always hurt so much more than if they were on the OUTSIDE of our bodies? Hope youre feeling better soon! keep up the good work! willby
