Hang in there girl!!! I'm sorry you're dealing with some not so nice bedside manners from Dr. Evanson.  On the good side, Your weight loss is awesome!! With your energy, are you taking the sublingual b12 or the injection? I noticed I'm much better with the injection. How's your protein intake? does it hurt to eat? Some answers to ur ulcer would be nice (how to make it stop hurting).  Plus its hard to deal with all of this when we used to turn to food for comfort. I found something else to turn to when I'm stressed. I walk, play guitar hero, play with my chihuahuas, or start cleaning. cleaning is sooo weird for me because i'm really messy. Are you feeling depressed? I also am on an antidepressent and got it changed and feel much better. I hope any of this helped. Hang in there and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers hon! hugs, amanda

yea im on the injection every month-they even gave me a double dose of b12 while i was in the hospital last week-yea id like to know how to make the ulcer quit hurting -hows things been with your family life? any better?

Missy are you on liquid or pill form of Carafate???

im on 2tsp carafate 4 times a day im headed back to indy today

Hang in there Missy!   If you are feeling so bad, I would go to the ER and demand something has to be done.  That you cannot go on like this.  Dont worry about Dr. Evanson, some docs are just like that.  Just remember that is their job and if they dont like it tough.  I know you said in an earlier post that they were considering surgery. Do you have an upcoming appt. to determine if surgery is needed? Are they waiting on anything?

im headed back to indy today-he is wanting to recope in 4 weeks and determine weather surgery is needed for my ulcer because it had grew from 10 mm to 16 mm in 2 weeks

If you're very tired and on B12 injections, I would ask them to check my protein levels. It's a blood test. I think the name of it is for 'prealbumin'. I was so tired last spring, and mine had gotten very low after sugery. Increasing protein really helped. You have to try to eat your three meals a day too. That would make you tired, if you weren't eating anything. Good luck.
