Hey singingangel,

Let me know how your tests come out, ok? Next tuesday I have to get a liver scan, colonoscopy and endsopgy (the thingy down the throat) !

Boy, when will all this fun stop, already???

I've been on vicodon, oxycodone, fentanyl patch and darvocetts. If they would give me higher doses maybe they'd work. Beleive it or not now I take the darvocetts and just got weaned off of the patch. Darvocetts help take the edge off so I don't want to jump off a roof and onto a Doctor !! Couldn't resist !!

You guys have a decent nite...I'll be peeking, so be good!!

Hey spruce sounds like your having tubes ran down your throat and up your but. I hope they dont meet in the middle and get stuck. HAHAHA thought you could use a little humor. Seriously I hope all is well. Make sure they have a good reason to do those test especially the colonoscopy. I worked for a doc who went to take a class on doing those tests and does as many as he can for monitary gain. He ended up knicking the ladys colon and if a surgeon hadn't been in the building she may have died. I hope you have a gastroenterologist doing your tests. I'm not trying to scare you,Im just concerned and I wish you all the best. Let me know how they went.

Yea, they found I have an enlarged liver. Been some symptoms I'm having like feeling nauseous, weight lose (yippee!!)and some discomfort in the area of the liver. When the doc pushed on my liver I was feeling pain and ill for about 4 days afterwards. Boy, are we having fun!

Take care and type to you soon!

It is like Lyrica but comes in generic. It works on nerve pain that fibro gives us. Lyrica is like the improved version but for many brings many undesirable side effects.

I had all the side effects with Lyrica but none of the pain relief. It's carzy how one drug can help one person but not help another. How difficutlt can one illness be?
