You are most welcome. We all get sick with things at times. It's just the way things go. But if you get to feeling really bad, you can always call your doctor or go to the ER. You take it easy and keep up with drinking your fluids. You take care my friend. Sara

I am getting an ear infection now. my right ear is ringing and clicking and the glands in my throat or sore. got a little fever. this us all I need. as if I don't have enough problems. well I guess it is time to laugh when things get so bad you want to cry laugh and it helps. there is nothing you can do any way. my friends mandy876
Mandy, Thanks for your kind comments. It sounds like things are being taken care of with you. Nothing you have to remember except to take your medication. And good for you for taking a bit of food when you feel funny. Take it easy. You take care. Your friend, Sara
Don't forget that you can ask your doctor to write down the instructions he gives you, even if you do have someone with you at the time.
My brain cannot remember everything the doctor says sometimes. In March he wrote in big letters 5 instructions for me and separated each instruction with a line across the page. He told me to stop taking Ibuprofen because it bad on the kidneys.
thank you so much you give me hope. I have no idea how long I have been this way. I think my lorazapam is for nerves. the doctor has not approved of 2 of my meds I called my arthritis meds and a muscle relaxer meds. he took me off my arthritis meds before when I was anemic. and when I had my next blood test it was ok I asked him later if I could take them he said as long as i did not become anemic again. I might as well give up I got so much wrong with me i cant even remember them all that is bad. I have not felt too good but I take my pills if I feel funny I eat crackers or a grill cheese sandwich with ham. sara you are a true friend thank you so much. mandy876
I'm glad that you are taking an anti-anxiety medication. Sorry that it's not helping you enough. But the Effexor being raised might do the trick! Do you remember what I suggested that you do when taking it? Take it only with a meal. And if you get nauseated later on, then eat a little bit of food then.
Yes, I do have Stage 3 kidney disease. Aside from not taking certain medications, it has not affected my life one bit in the 5 years that I've had it.
Your friend,
Sara
