Terri,

I know what you mean I started taking celebrex for awhile and I stopped that, and on top of the neurotin, and oxycontin, and trazadone which is like prozac, they added ultram, which I broke out when I took that and terrible itching. I feel the meds are going to hurt my stomach. I used to take prilessec too, but the dr changed me to ranitidine, generic to zantac. I take a low dose of premarin, but I am going to have to call the gyn to ask him if he will increase that.

I have noticed hot flashes alot more for some reason, they never really used to be that bad, until lately. I also find I cry for no reason, well Sunday I was tryng to help my husband we buy and sell antiques, and some junk. I had to get in the car, I try not to tell him so mucj anymore, I feel like all have done is complain. I told him I am trying to deal with it alone. At times it gets really hard tho. I hope you find someone to help you, and I am gpoing to try so hard to stop smaoking, I think the breathing is from too many. I was down to 6 a day, but I smoked about 10 yesterday. I am trybg, but my husnad smokes too. I have 5 left, and I will make them last today I hope, and try the patch tomorrow. Good luck to you too.

Love to all, andthinking of you all getting surgery soon.

Lynne, sounds like you went through alot in Germany, but it sounds you really liked Dr Korrell. Hope you now get the relief and life back we are all looking for.

Toni
