I stayed home again today. I felt worse, rather than better. I ended up going back to bed and sleeping until 11:30, which I haven't done for years.
Thank you Matt H. for the get well wishes.
In other doctor news, I had stopped taking the anti-inflammatory pills about two or three weeks ago, because I was suffering severe abdominal pain becuase of them. I thought it would get better on it's own, but I was still hurting when I saw the doctor yesterday. He gaave me a new medication (
new to me) which he said was an improvement on even Prilosdec or Nexium. It is called Protonix, and I take one a day, one half hour before my first meal of the day. He said that coffee doesn't count as a meal, and in order to make this stuff work requires actual food in your stomach.
I took my first one of these pills yesterday, and I can already feel a big improvement. After several days of healing the doctor said I shlould be able to start taking the aniti-inflammatory along with this medication
Also, I am losing all my range of motion in my left shoulder, so it is back to Dr. Hunk after tbe first of the year.
See how I posted all this info without getting to 10,000 posts. Maybe I should hold off until Christmas Day to hit that mark?Welcome DR KayeKid!
