Day 8-hangin in there!

Well, we're past 1 week!  I actually slept ok last night, but I am SO sleepy this AM.  I have been taking Advil PM to help me sleep, but yesterday @ my doctor's appt I had my blood drawn.  Sure enough, my liver enzymes are elevated (probably from all the acetaminophen in the Lortabs).  So Advil PM for me for a few weeks.  ERGG.  Had some anxiety this morning, too, but not real bad.  I'm just ready to be me again!

I left out a word when I was talking about the Advil PM's.  I meant NO Advil PM for me, as ibuprofen is absorbed through the liver, too.  My GI tract is a VERY slow improvement.  Yesterday, I actually ate lunch and dinner, and had a desire to eat.  Before then I had to make myself eat.  Yesterday, I had two bad episodes from the lower GI tract (without getting to graphic, lol).  Today, it's not so bad.  Congrats on double-digits!  I'll be there Friday!  :-)

Good job, day 8 seems like something to celebrate - more than one week!.  I'm at day 10 and also feel really sleepy, as well as terribly drawn out and weak in the mornings.  I'm sure the Advil PM, which I'm taking at night too, is part of the issue because of its antihistamine.  What about your GI tract?  Mine is still  a mess.

Good Luck
