my housekeeper was hear today at eight thirty i usually work along with her instead i took my meds with apple juice and had a slice of bread with surgar free jelly. i than went back to bed i hadn't fell asleep untill midnight i was in so much pain but my body after being up for a day and a half shut down. i slept until the nurse from the va came. she was worry about me i lost another ten pounds in two weeks i went from being overweight to being under weight. for my height and built. i told her that tagment had heal my ulcer before. she said she was going to talk to the doctor about me as soon as she got back to the va hospital. i went back to bed after she left and didn't get up until three pm took my noon meds and had two small package things you buy in the store thats ready to eat. i got extremally sick and felt like i was going to throw up and that is suppouse to be good for a ulcer. i have been eating whats listed on the diet but it don't matter everthing upsets my stomach. i him glad that she is going to personly talk to the doctor hopefully something will get done. i him looking nice at what i weigh now i can't afford to keep on losing ten pound ever two weeks. the housekeeper was even worried about me she could she that i wasn't the same old daryl. she give me some work she would like me to do in the next two weeks before she comes back if i get to feeling better. the housekeeper was still her when the nurse came and the houskeeper told her about the changes she has seen in me this last month. having the nurse concerned about me i him likely going to get something done i hope.

darly i think they need to put you into the hospital until they find out what is wrong with you. your loosing way too much weight way too fast. there could be something totally different wrong. take care i love ya buddy...xoxo...debbie
I sure hope you finally get the help you need. It seems like the doctor just doesn\'t want to take the time to do his job. What he signed on for. To help people. Maybe you are diabetic. They have drastic weight changes lots of times. I have a buddy that spent a year in Korea in the DMZ and he\'s diabetic. His weight fluctuates constantly. If you can, see if they will run some tests to find out. Maybe that\'s what it is and maybe you can get the right meds so you\'ll feel better. Eat the best you can and take the Tagamet. Maybe that will help too. Good luck with it all!!! Love ya brother.
I\'m so sorry for all of the pain you are feeling. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you\'re much better very soon! Love and hugs, Debbie
Yes you need to get someone to look more closley at you.. maybe even be in the hospital for a few days until they can really figure out what is going on.. this kind of weight loss is very serious.. please call tomorrow if you are not feeling better.. park your behind at the VA hospital ..Until someone looks you over Love D
I hope you get the medical attention you need soon! I will give puppy a hug for you and light a candle and say a prayer for you...much love to you.
Hi Daryl, I\'m a friend of Pete\'s a always see you on his profile. I just wanted to check yours out and see what you were about. After reading this journal entry I\'m VERY concerned about you!! My hubby just became a Chief in thr Navy and I know all about the lack of care some VA\'s can have. PLEASE GET TO A DOC ASAP!!! I know all about Tagamet. I worked for a broker who launched it OTC. It doesn\'t CURE anything just slows down Acid flow in the stomach. SOMETHING is very very wrong with you honey!! You don\'t just lose 5 lbs a week for nothing!! Go to an ER and tell them what\'s going on. I bet you get results there!! ER, Daryl, the only thing for you right now!! PLEASE!!! I\'ll keep in touch and hope to hear back from you with some results! Hugs to you...Brenda
