Good morning :)

I think I might have figured out the cause of my abdominal pains!
I googled the many meds that I take daily and Melocicam, which I take for arthritis in my left foot appears to have all the negative side effects that I have been experiencing. I called the doc & he suggested that I stop taking it for a week and see what happens... Well my last pill was Wednesday and no abdominal pains at all! YAY!! Next, I will see what he suggests what I should take for the arthritis.

A thought for the day. I spent last Saturday at a family funeral, spending the day with many cousins that I haven't seen in many years. The we're all surprised to see how disabled I have become (mobility) They all commented on what a positive attitude I ("appeared") to have and how bra ve I am. Really though, what choice do I have? Just a thought...

Hosting our annual Superbowl party Sunday. Go 49ers!

I'm suffering from intestinal spasms that woke me up last night. It was awful. I just ate lunch and feel spasms slightly again. I took a peppermint pill hoping that will calm it down. Last night my stomach got hard and bloated and hurt. Felt like stuff couldn't move. I'm so tired.

thanks for all that sharing - I am always amazed by the sense of humor displayed, despite living with this MiSerable disease.  

Ess and JB - you should have a friendly wager of chicago pizza vs maryland crabs or something....I ca nabsoluely guarantee that one of your teams will win.

Debgen - your comment fits right in to the positive vibes here - 'you look so good' doesn't describe at all how we feel, but what choice do we have?

I have a funeral tomorrow for an aunt, the last of my mother's siblings. It will be a sad day, and my Mom is trying her best to put it in a postiive light. This aunt had an aortic aneurysm rupture 8 years ago and died - only to be resuscitated by the doctors  not once but twice. She put up quite the good fight the past few  years. I know it will be a day of tears and lots of sharing favorite memories.

I have a stress-echo at 7 am tomorrow and a dentist (cleaning) appointment at 10. I'm off work Tues and Wed and will be giving my 2 week notice at work on Thurs! Planning a move to Ohio near the end of Feb. A little scary, but excited too! Calling OH to set up job interviews for the end of the month! So much to do-I'm going to take a deep breath and try to concentrate on one thing at a time!

lulu-sorry about your aunt, I've lost a few this past year. My mom is 13 out of 14 kids and there is now only 4 left. She won't even go to the funerals now...

hvac-I hope you have some beautiful days to ride Clara!

Sandy-would muscle relaxers help your spasms? They help mine. Hope you get relief soon!

Praying everyone else has positive news with your appointments!

When is the Super Bowl and who's playing???Lol

have a blessed week!
