I've been sick and not around. So if I don't make sense that is why.

I am going to work this next week on catching up on everything.

UgH! Hate it when your sick one day, but hmmm, 11 is the pits.

Donna

Not sure what I had. PRobably flu and more.

Dear Donna

i know what you mean and i hope you feel totally 200% better soon. hope that "catching up" at work goes ok... that is always hard. take it easy.

and thank you for letting us know what is going on with you. i personally was wondering.

((((hugs))))

~ waves ~

I know that there have been a few persistent bugs in my area... I had one that lasted a long time and led to pneumonia.
I want to slap people who go around coughing in public, not bothering to cover their mouths. Hand washing isn't very effective with airborne viruses.

I hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself, Donna!

Question for all!

I have not been able to keep any of my medicines down for almost 2 weeks.

I am not sure how to go about starting again.

Can you give me some ideas.

I can't exactly call the doctor's. Can't afford the visits they will require.


Medformin ? I take two 500 pills at night. I've tried 3 and threw them all
up.

Cymbalta ? I take 1 60mg in morning and one at night.
I'm thinking try a week of one and then add second.

neurotin generic? This one I have to add back slowly, I'm thinking.

I take 2 300 or 400 mg, three times a day.
But I think going 1 for 4 days, then adding another, and another.
THen working back to the 2 three times a day.

Zanaflex, 1 ? 3 times a day. This is one my primary wants me off.
So we will see.

there are others. But these are first important.

I can't just go back on all at once.

I also have to make sure I can keep them down.

Donna

Dear Donna,

1. The most immediate concern is that you are still sick.
Call your primary doc to ask for help getting better.

2. Medformin seems like the most important of these meds that you list.

3. Do you take any heart medication? That might be important.

4. Are you drinking liquids? Can you keep them down?

M.

donna thank you for the update, sorry that you have been ill. I agree with mari call your doctor to review your meds.

Hi Dmom3005. I was sick with some sort of virus about 2 weeks ago. The muscles,and joints in my body suddenly became painfull,and I could hardly get up. The next day I started to feel better. I don't know what I had,but I was glad that I was feeling better.

I hope that you feel better soon. BF

Wow I am glad the Kidneys are not affected, but sure hope that you can start to feel better soon. Thinking of you and sending a prayer for health dear friend.

Donna,

I'm glad your infection didn't effect your kidneys!

If you're concerned about your kidney function, watch your urine output. If you begin to see that it has begun to drop significantly, see your mdoc as soon as possible.
Speak to your mdoc to see if he has done any renal panels recently. Discuss your concerns with him, and see if you need to have them regularly. The results of these tests can give you and him a good indications about how your kidneys are functioning.

Take care, Donna!

The best way to check your kidneys is a 24 hour urine collection....have they done this for you?
