Doctors...doctors..and more doctors ;-(

A quick update....been in the ER 2 times in which they put me in the hospital both times in the last couple of weeks.

I think the doctors are stumped...as well as I. Things are continuing to point towards the pancreas. Where am I now?

Well they have given me enyzemes to take before eating anything...kind of a way to kick start the pancreas I guess.

They work really well...if you remember to take them BEFORE you eat!!! I've missed a few times..as I am not used to

doing this and boy do I pay for it. The hospital I was in is referring me to a doctor at the University of Michigan for yet another test. I guess there's only a few hospitals in our area with this testing equipment??? Anyways..it's much like

the endoscopy (camera down the throat) test..but this one also has an ultrasound on it and is capable of injecting some

dye into the pancreas to make sure there isn't any blockages. YIKES...just way too much.

On the bright side.....I can no longer shop at the "fat" lady store!!! I had to return a few gifts today as they were really big on me and one of the women in the store asked "what are you doing in this store"...so that did feel good.

I have gone from a size 20 (i will now reveal my previous size)...to a size 12 since October. Feels good...and really

opens the door to shop a whole new array of stores (as i did today)!!!

Some of this my doctor thinks...and I do believe it plays a part...is still from the trauma last Sept. with the shooting at the place I was working. I already live with PTSD and they believe this kicked it up a notch...at least the symptoms of PTSD. I too...believe that mind, body and spirit are all connected...so am working with that piece. I am going to see my (adopted) brother Thursday (lives in NY) and do some energy and other holistic healing work with him and a few friends. Hopefully get in a sweat lodge while I am there. The funny thing is with all these doctors I have seen these past few weeks...when I show them the blisters/rash on my hands and feet....they just look with amazement..and grunt "ummmm". So I'm not getting any answers in that area

I thank all of you for checking in....and miss "hearing" and "chatting" with you.

Walk in Beauty,

Denise

	Margewrote: Hi, Denise! I wanted to stop by and offer you a hug and a little kiss on the cheek in support and encouragement. I've never been through the extent of physical and spiritual trauma you have, so I can't tell you I empathize. I can tell you, though, that I hope with all I know of hope that you will find some relief for your physical issues. Sadly, the doctors don't know everything all the time, then it's kinda up to us to seek our own healing. May yours come very, very soon. I'm thinking of you! Wishing you peace... Marge 2 Feb.

It amazes me, that in todays day and age, a doctor can't tell you what a rash is from. GEEZ! I feel so bad that you have been going through all this. I'm sure going to NY will do wonder for your body, mind and spirit, and I hope it truly refreshes you. Have fun! 31 Jan.

Guess the one upside is the 20 to 12 in dress size, but what a way to attain that! Sheesh... Really hope you get well soon, steve 31 Jan.
