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!

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

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) 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

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.

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????

*hiding red/white cooler behind back*

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

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

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

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.
