What a day. It started with getting my teeth cleaned. Then I saw my neurologist, who is referring me to a pain specialist. I don't have time for this right now. Then I had my hepatitis screen and ABGs drawn. My pO2 was 68. Crap. Everything else was WNL, though, so it shouldn't be a problem. I'm on day 4 of my first Z-pak and I feel like death warmed over. I have a headache, I'm and have diarrhea. I've been eating yogurt, trying to ward of any nasty beasties. I don't think I can do another round of these. The sinus infection was easier to live with. I'm normally a fairly private person, but today I told everyone I saw about my upcoming surgery. I'm doing my part to educate people on the DS. Only one person, the lab nurse, had heard of it. Today is the 21st and my surgery is 21 days away. Three weeks!!! Jeanie in MO DS 02/11/05 "Duodenal Switch: My New Beginning"

Congrats on the final testing...I guess! Sounds like you are pretty miserable right now but hopefully you will be feeling much better before too long! Hope everything turns out well for you!

Keep eating the yogurt. My daughter just finished Zpak for strep throat and she got it...yep you know....the beasties. Soon you will be on the losing side and able to educate us about the DS. Keep us posted on how you are doing till then. Nancy
