I'm thinking about it. I just got the FMLA paperwork filled out today so I may ask her for a week off to "recover." I know that stress can just exacerbate things, and lord knows the fear of going to work and just having to leave again makes it worse. Plus this last month at work has been stressful on all of us. We moved to a new building and did a system conversion which had our files backed up to the heavens. Everyone was expected to work 4 hours overtime per week and here I am missing 16 hours per week... it makes me feel really guilty. I've been crying at the drop of a hat from pure frustration. And now I have D so bad that my colon should seriously be very clean by morning. I just hope I get some sleep tonight. Oh, here is a question for all of you - my gastro gave me samples of "boost" to drink while I can't really eat much. But I read the side lable and it has milk protein in it, but no lactose. he gave me the regular kind and the kind that has a bunch of fruit juice in it. are either of these "safe" to drink? I hate doubting my gastro, but I've known heather longer, lol. She's probably the only reason I managed to graduate college sane. Then she became all famous and doesn't have time to e-mail silly people like me *teasing*. So yeah, is boost a no-no? And how do you tell your gastro that you have more faith in a woman who's not a doctor but has spent her entire life dealing with an issue he knows nothing about but in theory?

Food for thought: the only kind I can digest.
