Snoopy,

I'm glad you're feeling better. :) I take Cymbalta too, (one of many meds) and I wouldn't give it up for anything. It really helps my mood and my pain!

:hug:

In my house, PODH (poor old dumb husband, in this case) blames everything I do on MS...:confused::mad:

But in your case Snoops, I am glad things turned out the way they did.

And Cherie, good info. That's a theory that is probably good in some cases, and maybe more than a lot of people realize. My ob/gyn actually presented my case at a conference cuz everyone was befuddled (yeah go figure:eek:) and I guess my pain (and I do mean PAIN), is caused by the location of that silly little lesion I have in my spine. All I can say is thank goodness it's the one that doesn't act up often. Yeah for that! ;)

Keeping fingers crossed on your sis's tests...

My doc put me on wellbutrin for pain management. It helped and makes me really happy.....also sped me up a bit.
Good luck to your sis:hug:

LeeAnn, is it a rectal pain? I get this about once a week, it's h*ll! Usually it hit in my sleep, but can happen anytime. No one seems to know what this is, and just shrug their shoulders. I am probable MS, I am beginning to think that is as far as I'll get.

If you are having the same thing I get I feel for you girl, it's not pleasant.
Pat

Hi Pat!

That doesn't sound good at all Pat, it sounds down right painful. I hope your doctor can figure it out and soon.

No, it's not rectal pain. It's the pelvic area. My PCP and urologist say it's not a urinary/bladder problem my gyn says it appears to be bladder related and my neuro says it's the MS.....holy cow.

I go back for another pelvic ultrasound next month and my gyn wants them to check that I have both my kidneys....I guess there is a possibility that I am missing one....good grief

Wait a minute. Do you get a refund if you find out that the big guy shorted you a kidney....or are you one of those people that found yourself in a bathtub filled with ice and a big scar!;)

Glad they're looking into it for you.

Uhhhh, yeah Snoops, wouldn't you know by now if you were one short of a full load of Kidneys????:eek:

*hiding red/white cooler behind back*

Meh, she only needs one! Let sleeping dogs lie!:Deliberate:

Wasn't there an episode on Law and Order about that?

You guys are crackin' me up.......

Nope, no scar and yep, I would have thought the possibility would have come up before.....heck I'm only 46 for pete's sake :rolleyes:

Internally things are not where they should be and apparently it's not uncommon because of that for a kidney to be missing......first I had ever heard that.

I feel like I'm in a scavenger hunt.....lets find the kidneys :p

It's not a big deal if I only have one kidney. My mother had a kidney removed when she was a kid so I am aware you can live just fine with one.
