Well...Janet, you were right. Not the prep that I was supposed to do. I was by no means cleaned out and did not have the "urge" at all as I stated till 11pm. Went a couple of times and did not even go this morning b/4 I left house. (TMI...sorry) They did not give me all the instructions. They did do the procedure (after a couple of hours of very harsh lax trying to get me cleaned out) and had one pollyp and filled me with LOTS of gas due to not doing the correct prep. The doc's nurse sent me one page on instructions with the 15th of Nov as the day to do them. Well, came to find out the big blue folder they send to patients was omitted from my instructions. I even called his office yesterday and asked about their prep sheet. Anyway, correct was was to not eat anything after midnight on the 13th (Sat), do the prep I did yesterday with Miralax and dulcolax and then do the regular harsher prep stuff starting at 8am yesterday. I'm good to go for 5yrs and I am thinking I will be travelling to the clinic in Alexandria for that. It's done. Phyll...have not had the chance to try the chicken yet but thinking that tomorrow I will make it. I always stand my chickens up in a roasting pan when I do them. I open a beer and shove it up the cavity. I have a similar recipe for a BBQ roast chicken that is slow roasted that I do the beer thing with. Also do it on the grill that way. I am thinking I will like the combination of herbs/spices in this recipe you posted. Thanks. As far as going to church...I've been missing it. We never missed a Sunday for years and years and we had something (bad...preist sexual abuse thing) go on in one of our local Cath churches and both DH and I walked with the intention of finding a diff church but could never get him to go. When we married I told him that I would not go to church alone...wanted and needed to go as a couple. Long story short...missed going, missed the involvement I used to have and the social aspect of it also. As far as FIL goes, we will be close enough to him in AZ that we can see him a few times a week. He is going back to his old neighborhood and still has some friends there. He is as spry as they come for his age. He could pass for 65 yrs old. Jodi...thanks for the holiday tips. Arlene...have a good trip. Make the best choices possible and just enjoy yourself. TX...nice to hear of how much movement you have in the shoulder. Keep it going. Linda...I think the pouch test should be an annual requirement with a banded person and also it can be such a good thing for struggling bandster to help them get back to the basics. Miss you. Lori...if you ever do get to MPLS for some reason, I would have no problem making the 4 hour trip to have lunch or to shop. MOA and I would take you just up the road to my fav shopping center. Gotta go take a few laps around the yard. They blew me up like a nickle balloon and pretty uncomfortable. Need to get rid of it. BTW...a big thanks to all for listening to my B&Ming yesterday and this morning. Loves

Hey all.. Joyce...I bet you will be happy to get rid of that big ole' cast. Sounds like it is quite restrictive. Sending healing thoughts your way. Yes, Eva, cooking "does it" for me. Something I just will never give up. You'd have to understand what takes place when someone passes away around here. Food gets delivered by the carload. LOL. I try to do a whole meal so that is one thing less the family has to worry about. I usually do a hotdish that can be thrown in the oven, homemade bread/rolls, some kind of salad and dessert. I usually throw in coffee, a box of Kleenex, toilet tissue, storage containers for leftover food. It's just something that is done around here. DS's bday lunch turned out really good. The chicken fried steak turned out nice and tender. We had a friend that stopped in about 8am and he just left a bit ago. He lolled around all day visiting. He enjoyed the bday dinner also. Sooooooooo...DH did not get out to the shop to start work until well after 3pm. Just have a lite dinner planned. I had a large slice of ham/cheese/hashbrown eggbake when I delivered meal and have not felt right since. I think the hashbrowns "globbed" up in my pouch or something. No stuck feeling just extremely full. LauraK...I get you on getting out and walking when you can. We are waist deep in snow around here and no way can I get out and walk. We are expecting more tonight/tomorrow. At least today is not bitterly cold. Not going to complain though. Appreciated getting out of here for as long as we did. Already looking forward to opening up the lake place. Hard to believe it's only 5 weeks away (if weather cooperates). Julie...hope things are getting resolved for you. Looking forward to a post soon. Phyll....I must have missed something about your knee/knees. Hope you are able to schedule and get things rolling when you get home. Pain sucks. I am so lucky to say that I don't have any. (Well, just the kidney stone thing once in awhile but have a handle on managing it). Wishing you the best with it. Laura...so sorry your dad is in for another round of treatment. Hugs getting sent your way. Tough time for you. He is tough and seems to have a fighting attitude lately. Just be there for them and try to live in the moment. So nice you got to spend that week with them at your place. Hugs. Cheri...tried to click on the FB address for your daughter but didn't work. Was going to leave a message for her...even though she does not know me. Maybe want to take a look at that to see if it's the correct address. Hugs to you also as you go through this trying time. Just plain tough. Janet...thanks...got the toothbrush package a couple of days ago. Nice to have it again. Need to order a replacement for times like that. I have three of them but should just leave one in my vehicle when I leave them here, there and everywhere. I still have not looked into ordering those bras you talked about. Nice for just running around home. Forgot the name and who carries them. Would you mind posting that info again? My girls have changed lately and have no answer why. About six months ago, they deflated a bit. I got new bras and now I'm spilling over in the new ones. I'm afraid that one of these times I bend over in the grocery store with a V-neck shirt on, someone is going to get quite the show and not a real pretty show at that. Grandma...ooops...I mean Great. I am so happy that you have your healthy baby. My oldest was yellow for a couple of days. I just put his cradle in front of the window when the sun was shining and that did the trick. I don't think he was getting enough when he first nursed. Makes me wince just thinking about it now. I was not cut out to nurse. Really wanted to but think I was too nervous. I lasted a little over a month. Oh my.....sorry about all the boob talk. TMI I was LAZY today. Have you EVER heard me say that?????? After cleaning up the kitchen after lunch, I have been on my A$$ in front of this screen. In fact, had to get up a couple of times to bring the feeling back in my rear. Tomorrow I have two appts. Mental and Dental. Hard to believe it's been almost 6 months since the completion of my mouth. Ranks right up there with getting the band. Gonna go find a slider....can't believe I am still full from that eggbake. I don't like that feeling.

Julie Whats wrong with DD?? Congrats on the scale and yes good bm's (tmi ;0) are great for the scale - we all have that mentallity :0) Becareful on jogging not good on the knees... Hey Meredith Glad you are feeling better - Yep your Andrew (that's my GS name) sounds like a keeper... You can make your own lentil soup - just puree the Beans and add them back to the bean broth - cream of lentil soup :0)... Ck with your doc on the advil - I am suppose to take only tyenol - liquid at that... I do take pills (tyenol) everynow and then when I'm not home cuz liquid tyenol is hard to carry around.. I was told nothing but tyenol... HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY - 56 LBS GONE WTG !!!! Well I gotta jump in the shower it's almost 6 and I have another busy and short day at work - we are having a 4th bbq at 1:30 today and then they most likely will let us go home a little early - but that again will depend on my desk - since I am taking Monday off.. Well I will cb when I can today - may not be til tonite Have a great day everyone - you all are doing so great !!

Fly by~ sorry guys can't respond to posts. I glanced them but sooooo busy here. No school today so trying to get things done with DH and DS here. ughhh. party stuff, cleaning, laundry, stressing, etc. Also, TOM is finally here for a visit after ignoring me for 3 months! omw, what a visit too! tmi but I feel like a PMS bitch on steroids. I accidently opened a Sam's size jar of gourmet jelly beans that were meant for the party. I had one handful and then put them away. Thank God there is no chocolate in this house. I am so excited about my parents coming down for a few days. We set up an appt with a local oncologist just so dad has someone to see if anything happened while here. I feel bad that I can't give as much attention to the "prep" of their visit b/c I have the party going on. So now if I am not on for a while you guys will understand why. Hugs and hi to everyone. peasout... Laura

Hey fellow May Sleevies! Just checking in. My surgery was May 18th. I went home the next day. The 5 days after surgery were absolutely horrible, though. The gas pains only got worse. I walked about 1/2 mile a day to try to get some relief, but the pain made it hard to stand upright. When I talked to the surgeon, he explained that the pain meds I was taking every 4 hours were constipating me (sorry for TMI). I also wasn't able to get a lot of water in over the last week- we're talking 16-20 ounces a day, definitely no broth or protein and nothing cold. On Sunday the 23rd, I took a few rounds of laxatives along with gasx every 4 hours with my chewable Tylenol like clockwork. In 48 hours I was feeling relief! I've heard other sleevers talking about the stomach cramp that happens a couple of seconds after drinking something. That's exactly what happened to me! It didn't matter the amount, I would take a sip and one second, two seconds, CRAMP[emoji37][emoji31]! Just today, this has subsided. I'm finally getting an appetite back. Just felt like checking in today since it's the first time I felt like a person again. I was really worried that something was wrong, but I am now feeling optimistic [emoji4] Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

Question... This might be TMI, but how often are you having a BM or going number #2!? I didn't go for 11 days after surgery and have only gone one other time in the last 16 days. I'm drinking Miralax daily, but I just wondered if this was normal. Thank you!

Mona: What a way to spend the holidays! I'm glad you're on the mend. LA: It's totally awesome that your mom's helping with the surgery! My parents (who are loaded), cry poor all the time and that they just can't help! I know mom's not too supportive over the whole surgery thing because she's had complications with a hernia surgery and thought that I would too...she also this that I'll fail at this too...since she wasn't able to keep off the Adkins lbs. she lost...we're clones you see. OK - TMI coming up, but need help. Got my tubes tied with my last kid and since then I have two added problems: I crave chocolate a week before my period (I don't normally like the stuff) and my blood flow is more than it's ever been. So, after sleeping through this past week I realized last night that I'm low on iron! No wonder since I can't eat meat and usually I just have a steak or two during "that week" and that keeps me going. Any suggestions on getting my iron up? I'd like to start working out, but can't get out of bed! Ahhhh! It's getting cold here...almost zero today...thank heavens we have a Rec Center!

OH CRAP!!! No pun intended. I realized after I posted that you would be vomiting with a bowel obstruction, so just forget I said that. I do have some scar tissue adhesions in my way lower abdomen from c-sections that sometimes gets "tangled" in my bowels for a few days and hurts like a SOB. I lie on my back and pull on the skin and underlying tissue of my stomach over and over until it breaks up. Sorry. TMI. I am SO glad you're okay. I've been in a meeting for the past two hours and all I could think about was checking the board to see if you were okay! Man, I guess it's obvious that I've lived through having teenagers! Munchkin - I'm so glad that you stand up to doctors. Sometimes my daughter tells me things the doctors have said to her and I just want to scream. What makes them think they're so much better? Nurses are the ones who do all the work. I'm glad you liked "Munchkin and Hutch". We should pitch it to a network. That story about the beagle is so upsetting. People who don't research their doggy choices are so irresponsible. It's not like a sweater that you can just get rid of if it doesn't fit. Crikey.

Some tmi but I had surgery on the 16th and haven't farted yet or bm...anyone else in the same boat

i know this is some major tmi, but when they first packed my open wound they sealed it with a tegaderm. When they took it off my skin almost came off with it. Now I have to use paper tape, and anything that touches my skin hurts so bad. It's red, all over looks almost like a rash. Well anyways the paper tape still has to be stuck to that part of my skin, and I think that might be the thing that hurts the most is when I have to peel that off. The nurse gave me some adhesive remover to help but that can only do so much. I just hope this wound doesn't take that long to heal. But it is about 3 inches wide and 2 inches deep.

Hi Everyone! Welcome Cath! you will find that we are positive and supportive and no judgement feel fee to ask us anything Nerms congratulations on making the decision on the band! how exciting Leanne!! OMG YOUR AMAZING!!!!! that is soo good babe! Im really happy for you! I know how exciting it is when things fit!! good on you you deserve it! Babe the path we have chosen is not easy seriously the people that say surgery is easy have no idea what they are talking about lol So i bet you were looking smoking hot at the 21st! well done on breaking the stall girlie! apparently upping the calories is the way to go.....dunno how im going to do that though lol so im off to the movies today would normally enjoy some popcorn and a choc top now no idea what i can snack on any ideas lovelies? oh and about the TMI T.O.M i wish it would end! If its not gone by wed im going to the docs i want that pill lol hope you all have a great weekend! Chez how are you going babe? nearly over!!!!!!!! Have you jumped on the scales yet?

Lol!!! I'm home ! Virtually pain free. My 2yo keeps trying to touch my stomach . I have the On-Q pain catheter in the larger incision . I can take it out on Friday or before if I feel so inclined. That's the only thing that really aches besides the gas. TMI , but I can't pass it!! I've been walking every 2 hours but it's a no go. Oh well. Time to finally lay in my own bed and try to get some rest since there was no rest to be had at the hospital. They get you up every 2-4 hours to walk. Plus all the usual poking and prodding. It starts about 6 hours after recovery. I'm excited about this new journey! Yours is coming soon!

hey everyone!!!! sounds like most everyone is doing well and moving onto soft foods for the most part.....YAY Well i had a terrible day yesterday besides the fact that i have not lost any weight in a week..grr....and i was backed up so bad.....i hadnt pooped in like almost a week....grrrrr....and i think that had something to do with the no weightloss which is really starting to make me angry.... So yesterday i went to the mall with some friends..and we walked and i felt good and we went to the food court and i didnt eat anything just drank some Water and i felt so sick i got soooo nauseous....it was terrible the smells of the food court ugh...... anyway i got home and i ate some food thinking i was just hungry and NOOOOOO i felt worse.... SOOO last night....i went and got some milk of mag., prune juice, and some prunes (those ones those new ones) i took some of the milk of mag...drank some prune juice and took one of the prunes...and nothing...but this morning YAY i pooped it was the best feeling ever in the last week LOL and i have been having the runs all day (sorry TMI) lol i better get on the scale tomorrow and see the scale move down....if not i am going to be lost for words... Anyway....the weird part of this all is the last week after i eat sometimes i got really bad shoulder pain...and i asked my doc and some people on the forums...and that is my sign that i am full or overate...sooooo for those of you that are having some shoulder pain that might be what it is....today while eating dinner i started feeling a little shoulder pain..and i stopped eating and it went away....dunno just thought that might help some of you... Hope you all are doing well...lots of prayers to all of us to lose lots of weight and see that scale move... Much love! Frances

OMG!!!!!!!! I'm glad I'm saying goodbye to my pannus! TMI TMI TMI!

I need a few minutes to whine... and no one understands me like ya'll do. So, TMI or not... when I'm on my period my band gets tighter. And today we had a huge dinner for my Gramps' 83rd birthday. I ate a few bites of a veggie cassarole I made and then a few bites of mashed potatoes. It took me just as long to eat that as it did for most of my family to eat entire plates full of meat loaf and salad and whatever else there was. I kept looking at their plates and wanted to cry. People take huge bites of things like dinner rolls and salad, and I can't eat these things at ALL. If you remember, NO one in my family knows about my band. I'm always paranoid that people will try to push me to eat more... we're all 'feeders', but no one has really said anything to me today. A few people who did see my plate were like, "is that all you're eating?" I mostly stood in a corner to eat, so most people couldn't see what I was or wasn't eating. And the whole period thing... it's basically new to me. This is 3 months in a row now. That has NEVER happened to me before. I got my first one when I was 12, and then I think a few months later I had another... I'd read that in the begining a young girl may not have a regular cycle for a year or more, so I never thought anything about it. After a few years, I did some more research and just kinda figured that the absence of a menstral cycle was a blessing. Lol. Ok, seriously, I just attributed it to my weight. I've been over 300 pounds since I was about 16 years old. In my early 20s I learned about PCOS, and figured that is what the problem was. I still wasn't upset about it. The few times I'd had a period I hated it. And now that it's been here for 3 months in a row I'm really hating it. Even more weird though... I go about 5 weeks between cycles... so it's still not regulated. Losing 100 pounds has been great... don't get me wrong... but on days like today all I can see is how far I still have to go... the wrinkling and sagging skin I have on my arms, thighs, belly, and flat droopy boobs... and having to bleed every month is certainly no reward. Woe is me...

Ahhhhhhhhhh.....it really feels like spring here, FINALLY! There is still one big clump of black, ugly snow in the front yard......but I suspect it will be gone by Monday! Did a lot of walking today....went to the grocery store....UGH....forgetting that Saturday is sample day AND root beer float day....the Special Olympics sells floats on Saturdays to raise money...hell, they'll probably go broke now! NOT REALLY, I still gave them them $2.....but the kid just didn't get why I didn't want the float! Then took a quick walk to the corner and back.....the neighbor's horse should foal any time, I keep hoping to catch it! Daughter and I took a spin around Sephora, too.....the SECOND happiest place on earth..... Feeling really good, if I could shake the shoulder pain....I would be pain-free! The heating pad helps when I'm sitting down, though! TMI Time.......haven't pooped since Tuesday.....I don't feel really cramped or bloated...I guess it's just because there's nothing there!! Still feel fairly satisfied on my 1/2 c. cream Soup or cream of wheat in the am, so that's good! All in all, so far, so freaking good!

Hi everyone- Would love to say my mood has totally turned around, but I hate to lie to friends! I am better, just kinda enjoying my grouch I think!!! I have done the old turn it on, and turn it off thing today, so I guess it isn't too bad. Went to Red Lobster for lunch with my folks, and Kinsey, and oh yeah that one guy, the one who kept me awake all night with the friggin TV!!!! Then went to the farm, and picked all afternoon....now have an evening of shelling peas ahead of me, then I am freezing them, so it isn't too bad. Have lots of new potatoes, so going to make some creamed peas and new potatoes tomorrow. Tonight, I am doing easy burritos, nothing much to do, once it is in the pot! Terry---now this may be TMI---but here goes. Back when Ricks heart valve failed, he was having issues with his hands, and feet, and other extremeties (!) not getting proper blood flow...because the heart was not pumping enough oxygenated blood to support his body. Nothing ever quit working, it just did not work at optimum levels!!! Well the heart got fixed, and he is like a 13 year old boy---he thinks he has a new toy!!! The sex is always good, there has never been an issue with that, if the sex had been bad along with the TV---I would not have been grumpy, I'd have been downright bitchy!!!!! LMAO!!! Between his new and improved heart, and my weight loss---we feel like newlyweds again! I was banded in April, they discovered his failed valve less than 3 weeks later. So we "healed" together!! Tracy, the jeans are an awesome accomplishment my friend!!! Remember back just a few short months ago, when I sent you the clothes you though you would never be able to get into? They have all been passed on, all too big! You have done so well!!! You know I don't wanna do this...but I just gotta!!!! TOLD YOU SO!!!!! Gina might have a point if the stomach ache does not go away, or if he gets nauseated, or feverish. Have him lie on the bed, and put his feet on the floor, if he can put them back up on the bed without assistance, it is likely not acute apendicitis---if he can't---have him checked! Back about 6 years ago, on the 3rd of July, Rick got sick, his belly hurt, he tried everything, refused to go to the hospital...until about 1 AM. When we got there, they did all the testing they could, they were running a skeleton crew for the 4th (idiots). They thought it was appendix, but he hurt all across his belly, so they were worried he had a twisted intestine. They finally determined it was appendix between the feet on the floor, and a CT scan. They ask if he wanted it done laproscopically, he said whatever was fastest just get it done! When they got in there his appendix was HUGE. A normal appendix is smaller than your pinkie, and inflamed on about the size of your thumb....Ricks was 9 1/2 inches long!!! They looked it up to see if it was a record, the record was 13 inches. It was a record for our Dr., and this hospital though! He had this hilarious and sexy as hell nurse, named Patrick, and he was so much fun, he made a sign for Rick's hospital room door that said Man with the HUGE appendage...then scratched out appendage and wrote appendix in little letters!!! Rick hated him, because he was always making us laugh---and post op laughing is not fun!!! They said with the size of it, the amount of poison it held could have killed him almost instantly if it had burst! So I am a firm believer in getting it checked out! Better safe than sorry!!! Laura, I am sorry you are still having OOMTOM's---that really sucks!!! Good luck finding someone to talk to. DD is not thrilled with their family therapist. She is unhappy.....hope they get it figured out, same as you! Rick called, and wants me to make reservations to go to Vegas the end of the month for bike fest. We thought he would be working so didn't think we could go, but his coworker needed to trade out a different weekend....so maybe we will!!! WoooHooo!!! Well I need to go stir my thawing green chile, I tell ya I am working hard on this dinner thing!!!! TTYL Kat

Pam- I need as much TMI at this point. my port is on my left side. so are you saying sleep on my right?

Hi Lee...many people react differently to MOM...however, as 'inconsistent' it is in diff people...in can 'activate' within 2 hrs...best to be at home, cause when it is effective...there is no stoppin it...sorry tmi, but very quick when it works!!! Good to see u prepping well!

Well, I am 52 hours post op, and am barely coming around. Terri and Tracy thanks for the props...this has been harder than I thought. I think Sara and I posted that "if we would've known how much pain this was, we might've reconsidered!" That was yesterday, today I am glad it is over and I know it is worth it. I am still in a lot of pain. I am jealous of those of you out at Walmart, etc. This was my first surgery ever and I've never had kids, so I am pretty much a baby when it comes to pain. I was fine in the preop room and as soon as they started rolling me, I started balling...I meaning sobbing...just sooooo scared. I remember the nurse saying you just had your first shot that will feel like a cocktail, then the next thing was recovery. I slept most of the first day, was glad I stayed in hospital, but am so glad to be home. I spent last night in the recliner because I didn't want to bother partner getting up and walking, and moaning (did I mention this really hurts). On a side note, I SUGGEST PEOPLE FOLLOW THE HINT ABOUT BUYING THE TOILET TONGS FOR POST OP. I CAN'T REACH! I know, TMI, but liquids in and liquids out, and reaching is important. Actually as the day goes on, I am getting a little better. There is so much more I will post. I am proud of all of us...those who are done and all our April bros/sisters still pending. I can't wait to see what our thread looks like in May or June, when we start posted on our weight loss! peaceout

Ok.. guys........ I'm having gas pains. I think sitting at my desk in one postion is causing it.... also..... what did you all take for constipation.... TMI: today is the first day I feel like "going" but..... uhmmmmm does rabbit turds ring any bells??? going to walk now.

Morning gals well, another day. My ear feels a little better, I'm so glad that I took care of that last night, or I would have been in very bad shape. I know tmi, but .... I think i had a sinus infection going on because all kinds of stuff is breaking up an my head feels so much better than it has in days. Bad thing... I don't take antibiotics because I am the one who gets all the side effects, so my stomach is a mess. OK that is an understatement! I've been up since 5 with sharp stomach pains and in the bathroom. I guess for the next few days I shouldn't have to worry about getting my fiber sure in. LOL I'm going to hang close to home until work so I'm sure I'll be checking in. I'm babysitting right now and going to try to sleep for a few when the bus comes. It is so cold here again today but temp went up to +7 Yipee.

Hi Girls & fellows! I have to tell you what happened to me this weekend. It was NOT good! My husband and I went out to Old Chicago’s for dinner we got some chicken wings and Italian Nachos to split. I got ice water to drink. My husband ordered it from the bar because he was getting a beer.... anyway when they gave us our drinks our table was ready so we sat down. I took a drink of my water and it tasted gross! So I took a bite of a chicken wing to get that taste out of my mouth. Big mistake. I was PBing and sliming so bad that I could not even make it to the bathroom. Lucky me that they had given us a bunch of napkins for the wings -- I was sliming in. I finally got to the bathroom and just stood there for about 15 minutes spitting up like slime (sorry about the TMI). When I made it back to the table it started again. I realized when I sat down it was much worse. My DH can be so insensitive he told me I was grossing him out, by spitting or sort of vomiting into the napkin. I could not even talk to get on to him! :angry Lucky him. Anyway when my tummy finally calmed down I asked DH to taste my water… and he did (ha ha on him that is what he gets!). He said it was definitely the water! We figured that it was never really washed it went through the sanitizer stage, and then she picked it up and added the ice water! Let me tell you, if that is PBing and sliming I hope it never happens again. I think I had it so bad because of the sanitizer mixed with the chicken wing. Imagine not even being able to yell at DH! :waytogo: It turned out ok in the end. We walked a little after we left there, to the movies and I felt a whole lot better. Just a warning...

jeepers . . . . is the mom working yet?? DOH sorry TMI!!

John you are HILLARIOUS!!! I love when you have TMI to share lol.. Like you said its about time!! I hope your noise maker gets better... LMAO..... How awesome on the 5 lbs... I cant wait to see how you do!! Lee im glad your feeling better. Use your insparameter (sp) thing they gave us that totally helps get the gunk out too. I tried to use mine every hour or so. I was coughing up brown stuff for the first week or so. They gave me a breathing treatment because of my asthma before surgery so that had a little something to do with the brown stuff but the thing they gave us helped so much!! Im the only one on here, where is everyone!! I am so ready to get to the next stage, lookin forward to some egg salad and mashed potatoes lol...Im experiencing a little indigestion not half as bad as I used to but a little today so I am going to ask my PCP what he thinks I can do for it. Should I email Doc Who too??? The medicine I used to take for it isnt on either list in the binder so IDK... Anyways. So sad tomorrow is my last day off. I really could enjoy another week lol...
