Lisa, Hun I would go in and have it checked out, ask of you can pay off the visit since you do not have Ins. It is something that should be checked out, might be nothing but ya never know. Do you still have your gallbladder? Maybe it is acting up.....Please keep us posted hun Debra P

Sorry for the post Hijack........... Hey Debra............I just looked at your profile. I LOVE your new pic.......the short hair is adorable............shows so much more of your prett face. You are doing so amazing..............you have always been an inspiration to me. You look great. S

SH, Thank you so much for your warm and kind words. ~hugs~ I was so tired of the hair and if I was as strong as Tavia I would have shaved it ALL off I will have to post more pics so you can see it better. I am thinking on going lighter in color now so you don't see my scalp since the hair is a little thin.... Well thanks again hun Debra P

I just had the same problem, with the exception that I was nausious along with the pain in the same place that you describe. When I eat the pain and nausea goes away. I had an endoscopy on Monday and it turns out that I have a small ulcer. You should see the doctor, but you also might want to try some Prilosec OTC in the meantime. The doc put me on Prilosec OTC and Carafate, which is a prescription. Hope you feel better soon. Joanne

Well i also had the pain like that and i only recently was diagnosed with an ulcer as well so do get it checked out. YOu might have to have a scope to determine if its a ulcer. I went for awhile with this ache and thought this was a normal pain of surgery on my side that i thought meant i had to eat....turned out to be an ulcer. GOOD LUCK and do keep us informed.

Hey Lisa, OT for a moment, NY state has decent medical benefits you can purchase through healthy NY (go to NY states health departments web site for info). If you are low income, you can get free benefits, and if you make less then a certain amount, you can purchase low premium benefits. I only say this because an edoscopy will run around 1500 dollars depending on who does it, that would pay for almost a years worth of premiums through healthy NY. Scott
