pain and the ER

Apr 16, 2011

Well...Yesterday morning I began having left upper quad abdominal pain.  I just knew it was my pancreas...it was in that location.  It became more and more severe...enuf that I went to the ER.  They did labs, got a CT and gave me iv pain meds.  My pain did improve.  But, all my tests were normal!  They couldn't explain why I was having such severe pain.

This is totally bizaar, but I had acupuncture last week and for 2 days afterwards I was sore all over my body.  By an off chance, I'm wondering just how powerful this acupuncture really is!  The Dr. Said it was just the energy in my meridians opening up...my chi energy.  Anyway...it may have opened a big ball of wax for me yesterday. 

So..I was sent home with a few Percocets...which knock me out!  But, I haven't needed any today...thank God.

My weight loss continues to be steady but slow, averaging 2 pounds a week.  I'm 6 months out now.  I did have my labs done but don't know the results yet.  MAYBE, no news is good news ;-)  I'll see the Dr. next week.

These hot flashes are becoming bothersome too...debating as to start taking hormones again.

My sleep has improved  since the acupuncture though...
