Dear Kick AS friends,
I wish I was feeling better but I feel like I have hit a low point again.
Yesterday at a customer's house I had to excuse myself (I used the excuse that I wanted to check the outside wall of the house after she showed me where the ants were on the inside). I ran outside and puked in the bushes. I did this several times throughout my visit. Each time I would walk back in with a different bottle that I didn't even need. I first attributed it to taking Ibuprofin on an almost empty stomach but my nausea continues. I have been sick all day today (no puking). I have been fatigued and have wild pains in my arms. My eyes hurt too.
The Lyrica and Savella have been helping in the past. I just don't think they are working as well as they did in the past. I don't know.
I was able to do a little yard work and go to the store today but that was about it.
I wish I did not have this sickly feeling all the time.
Thanks for letting me ramble on and on.

Jeffery - sorry to hear this. Any chance it's a flu bug? Then at least it would pass. Hope it goes away soon.

sorry to hear you are not doing well.
hoping like wendy said that it is a stomach bug. but they don't usually last that long, so if this doesn't stop soon, please talk to your doctor to make sure its not an ulcer, NSAIDs can cause pretty bad ones with no symptoms, and the fact that you were throwing up and are now nauseous, just something i think you should check out, just to be on the safe side.
feel better soon.

Jeff, I'm so sorry. I hope this morning finds you a bit better. Have you started any new meds in the last few weeks? If you do not have an appointment with your doc in the near future, make one. You could have the beginnings of an ulcer. If you have been taking meds for a long time and not taking something to protect your stomach, it does happen. I take 40mg of Prilocec a day and it does keep my stomach problems at bay.  Cindy

Hello Jeffery I so hope you are feeling better soon. That incident at work must have been very uncomfortable and embarrasing for you> Take care, Tink

Thanks Wendy I feel a little bit better today. Maybe it is the flu. It is so hard to tell what is going on when you never really feel good anyway. The pains in my arms continue but not as bad. Thank you for being here.

Sue I take Tums and Nexium in the morning. I think I am going to quit taking Ibuprofin and see how I do without them. I have noticed a slight uneasiness stomach wise since I started taking them again. The last time I quit taking them it was for the same reason. My Rhuemy thought it would be a good idea to try them again. How long do you think it will take to get to 20,000?

Hi Michelle
I think the arm thing is the Fibro trying to sneek thru again. The pain woke me up and I was up part of the night with it.
Iam so sorry how things are going for you on the coast. Now the news has come out that BP's latest effort has failed. I hope they can figure it out soon. Such a shame for my home state of Louisiana.
