Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Terri, hope you are feeling better by now !

Terri, you know how well I understand how you are feeling about being sick! Those darned sinus infections, let me tell you, mind did not start to get better until I took the plunge a year ago this coming Jan. I have finally started to be able to work in the yard without wearing a mask! Unheard of before the shots. Yes, I know they are expensive, and I do not remember your insurance status but if you can find a good Allergy Specialist, you will be well on your way. When I first started seeing him, he would have to put me on 2-3 rounds of antibiotics to get me well. Once I took them for 3 months straight, it made me feel horrible. Don't forget to be flushing your sinuses, I saw on tv last week, they were using one of those nasal blulbs you use on babies when they have drainage, you know those blue bulb looking things they bring home from the hospital with them. 2 C. warm water to 1t salt, that sounds like way too much salt for me, I think that would burn.

Honey girl, I have never had Hives in my life, and pray that I never do. But, my grandmother used to have them occassionally and I do remember her suffering terribly. I wish I could tell you some wives tale, or something to help you with the pain. Soooooo sorry you are hurting like this.

BIggggggggggggg, Huggggggggggggge, Huggggggggggggggggs!!! You have to get better soon, there is just nothing else to say about it. I remember you telling me a few months ago that if you could come over to my house, you would put me to bed with a nice warm blanket (not quite sure if you said "nice warm blanket" or not, but it sounds comfy, huh?). THen you would go to the kitchen and make a casserole for me out of noodles, chicken broth, veggies and bake it up so I would have plenty of safe food when I got hungry! Well girl, if I could, I would be over to your house doing the same thing....I would prob have to bring some type of fattening chocolate something or other. HEy, its what we women do when we need comforting.

Come on, take a hot soak, if that sinus infec. isn't getting better soon, call that doc up and tell him. While you are waiting for the recorder at the docs office giving you the run down on what button to push for whomever, make some Peppermint tea and kick back with a warm wash cloth over your aching head.

Hate that depression too honey, wish I could make it all go away. Just keep taking your meds on a regular basis, I always seem to do best if I can make myself take them every day.....sometimes I get so tired of swallowing pills that I revolt and may be off of them for a couple of weeks, thats not good either. I sure hope you are better about that than I am.

When you need me,just call, I will come right on over to take care of you, and bring a comfy blanket and that chocolate stuff. If you need quiet and rest, I will see to it that only the right people can get through to you. If you need company, I will talk and talk, or, let you talk and talk. What ever it takes to get you back on track again! You are just like me, always taking care of everyone else and do nothing for you until it all piles up and you get sick. I know all about it.

I am here if you need to talk more, take the time you need to get well. I miss your sweet way of talking to everyone, I wish I had that gift. I tried anyway!

love you Terri, gayla
