Hi,
Oh Aex, so sorry to hear you've been going through what you have.
Glad though you are home now, relax more at home and you've got your husband there with you. Hopefully you will feel a bit better soon. Be strong, be you. Take care Alex. T.
Turns out my bowel twisted so it was more serious than I thought. I went to my PCP today and she explained it. It happened 4 years ago before they knew I had cancer. It would be like bloat in a dog or colic in a horse.
You all do help me through all this. I do not feel so alone. I have friends but if you do not have a constant illness like MS you just do not get it.
I had MS cramps in the hospital and could not have Zanaflex but once or twice a day. I usually take 8 a day. I was glad to get back home. The hospital bed made my cramps worse. I have to have a special pillow. I was afraid to bring my pillow to the hospital in case I picked up a bug. At first they thought I had C Diff a bad bug and had me in isolation until the lab ruled it out.
I am weak but happy to be home.
Alex
Flipping rubbish for you lately Alex. I'm sure there is a lot in your mind just now to deal with, however, wanting to keep going with your chemo, even when lovely hubby says you can stop, shows mentally you're still fighting on inside despite all the horrible stuff just now.
Not much words can do to help I'm guessing, but I hope you get a few crumbs of comfort from your friends on this forum.
You are a strong, resilient person with many many admirers on here and no doubt off here too.
Keep doing what you're doing, just let yourself recognise this is a rubbishy patch and do whatever it takes to get through - whether that's a rant, a cry, a hug, a shopping spree or just a mahooosive bar of chocolate all to yourself!
A million strength bubbles floating across to you my friend.

Sorry to here that Alex, glad you are home!
Oh Alex! I am so sorry - glad to hear you are home now. Thinking of you.

No it was not my pain meds, It was chemo. My husband says I can stop chemo if I want to. He was so sad with out me I can't stop now.
Alex
That stinks! (MedHelp would censor my actual thoughts/word choices) You're in my thoughts, Alex.
Oh Alex that's terrible! I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope that now your home your feeling better and I'll keep my fingers (and toes) crossed that 2016 doesn't continue the way it started!

Yikes. Glad you are home safe and sound, Alex. Was this related to not getting your pain meds or something else? I am glad you are ok. There are worse ways to spend the New Year
