So I had another upper endoscopy done and they found a small ulcer, not in my tummy this time, but in my food pipe the doctor said, so I assume it's the esophagus. I have been feeling sick for months now, hopefully things will settle down. Thought I would check in, other then this news, things are good. Kiddo is doing good in school and I am just hanging in there, this is my first month with no Tdoc, I missed my last appt with her in December and she's gone now. I told her I didn't want to start up with a new tdoc but that I wanted to continue seeing the pdoc so that's cool. I go in next week for my med mangt appt. I feel good, so it's really nice, I am off wellbutrin with NO depression returning and I feel better. I wish I could get OFF abilify but I really need it....Anyway, hope you all had a good Christmas and a awesome New Year's. We had a nice quiet time here, just the way I like it.

Thanks everyone! It's not too bad lately, it was bad before the end of the year, I was waking up at all hours and throwing up. It was awful. So I knew something was wrong. It's funny how a ulcer can do that to you, but it's better, the meds must be working, it was probably bigger and it's healing up already because he said it was small. I just wish I could stay clear of developing these things, it isn't pain like normal sharp pain, it's like achy pain in the high stomach. Like kinda under the sternum, about three inches below it in the center of my abdomen. No fun, but I'll be okay.

I just bought a Dell Mini 1018 netbook to be able to enjoy the net while kiddo is on the computer so I don't have to sit there on the sofa bored out of my mind, it should be nice, so that's something to look forward to. I might be around more now that I have the netbook, or when I get it, it's due here this week like Thursday or so.

nice!

i'd really like something in between a phone and a laptop... that i could actually toss in my mini backpack and still fit some groceries in there... lol.

dunno yet if i want a mini laptop or a smartphone type thing. doesn't matter coz ... i still have to "work my way up to it..." by then they may yet have something new again.

Dells are nice in general - well designed, well-assembled, very reliable, i hope you enjoy it.

... be seeing you then!

I saw an ipad today it was brilliant!

I have a mac book and an iphone...
Love, love, love them!

Well they delayed my order so I cancelled and reordered but a different mini model, got the 1012 instead, it had twice the battery power, better screen setup, 90GB more HD space and a Ice Blue lid! I am really excited, can't wait, stalking the porch tomorrow for the fed ex truck! LOL!!!

Saw pdoc today and she wants me on lamictal, I don't think it's gonna work out for me, on that med, I will give it a try but saw it has or can have stomach side effects and with the ulcer and possibility of additional stomach pain I just doubt this is gonna be a good thing. Will see though. I hope things work out better for me soon, I am sick of feeling sick to my stomach.
