I read pancrease problems. Is that why you can't keep anything down?

Hey seriously Dej..Marinol WILL calm your tummy, take pain away and increase appetite. Its only thc. Its the only pain med that makes your stomach want to be filled which is the TOTAL opposite of opiates.

I have tried marinol spray and I tried the smoke kind.

I have gastritis brought on by my pancrease. My guts are over reacting,and should have calmed down by now. If I am not able to stay hydrated at home, they will put meback in the hospital.

I just had to try it.

Not trying to add to it... but have they thought about using the pic line to put some saline in to keep you hydrated?

Hope you are feeling better. I cannot imagine going through all of that on top of the every day stresses. I am glad to hear you are at home. Hospitals seem to make the stress level increase.

((((Dej))))

Prayers for you to be able to stay at home...

All prayers with you our tiny Lady yet our Big Fighter! We all want you home where you belong.

Anyone heard from Dej? Is she feeling any better?

I was home from the hospital for about 48 hours, when I became violently ill. My potassium level was 2.3 and my blood sugar was 54. I was shaking like a wet kitten, and kept passing out everytime I tried to stand up. The hubby called the MD who made me a direct admit to the ICU. I got out of the ICU this morning.

They are speaking about Porphyria as a diagnosis for me. Its a rare strange thing to have, and there is a blood/urine test to prove/disprove it.

I am on TPN or total parenteral nutrition thru my central line, and I am getting tons of good help and attention from an amazing staff of nurses, mds, and so on. I couldnt have wished for a better team to be behind me.

I do not have any release date, as I am constantly blowing out my blood work. I can quickly drop my K, my sugar level or my red blood cells along with my billiruben go crazy. I have been very ill, and had a few days that I wondered if I was even going to wake up if I closed my eyes. I am not eating any food yet, as water is a returned item.

Thank you for all the lovely letters, PMs, IMs, and emails. you guys rock. Its always nice to know you are loved. I wont be writing much as it takes too much out of me. I promise to catch up when I get home someday.

I will be keeping you in my thoughts and daily prayers, Dear Dej. I am so sorry for your illness.

I hope to hear better news from you soon..

I have also been thinking a lot about you. I am so sorry that you are so sick.

Makes my little issues pale into insignificance.

Get well soon missy.
