-- Dearest Karla,Thank you for your comments. Don't worry about the computer problems, John will fix them.
I'm sorry that you're feeling so darn awful. I wish I could help...
I may try one of those pregnancy kits - only thing is the last two times I was pregnant the pregnancy tests were negative - part of my bowel problems is caused because my hormones are all out of kilter - and although John and I knew I was pregnant - it took an awful long time before it officially 'showed up'.
I'm also concerned about the morphine, the methadone and the other drugs.
But I also know that if I stopped taking them that I wouldn't be able to cope with the pain.
So, I'm praying that if I am pregnant that my hormones will kick in soon - as it did the previous two times - and that I'll be feeling better - both previous times I was almost pain free!
And as far as the malnutition is concerned - we seem to have that very much in common. I try to take multi-vitamins and minerals that fizz up in a glass of water. But it still doesn't seem to make much of a difference. No matter how carefully I try to eat it just flushes right out of the other side - most of the time it even looks the same as when I ate it!
You mentioned medication... what are the options? Do you know? I've had a drink - like a milkshake - called fortisip - but I can't really recall if it helped! Although it was helpful when I couldn't eat!
Well, that's all for now,
Love you,
Lin
