I took my first dose of Atripla on Sunday night and of course, I made a BIG PRODUCTION out of it! I seldom do anything small or common. I almost convinced myself I should wait another week before I start. But I finally sucked it up, said my prayers and did the deed. My heart was racing and my anxiety high...I was so scared to take the pill and I think I convinced myself I was goi...

I had my appointment yesterday with the surgeon. The surgery to remove my gall bladder is now scheduled for Sept. 15th. The surgeon is confident that it will go smoothly and I should be able to return home the same day. That would be nice! But that's the same thing the surgeon who did my intestinal remove said and I ended up being in the hospital for 8 days. I...1 Recommendation5 Comments

I don't know why but this past week has been the best week I have had in a long time. The pain is down right now and being managed well. So maybe thats it. The new medicine added to my cocktail may be helping also, it seems to help the pain as well as mood for me. The sun is out lately and that also is helping my mood.
I do have to wonder if I am turning a corner lately. Whatever, but I hope i...1 Recommendation2 Comments -

The Dr has started me on a new medication called Metformin. He thinks I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. Plus my blood sugar was a bit high when it was tested last month.
I am scared to take the new medication but I know I need to try to trust my dr. It is hard for me to trust drs after being misdiagnosed twice.
I am anxious about my health declining. I sometimes feel like I am slowly dying.
