Gatorade. Gatorade helps. It tastes sort of like the IVSM anyway, so it's a great choice.

Cherie's right--REST!!

Hang in there. IVSM sucks too but it's better than what you're going through otherwise.

hello, rest is important, the roids will help, and maybe, seeing no one else mentioned it, make sure you can set docs appts up so you can go with a buddy, remember the buddy system when swimming, I went once with out Deb and regretted it, had a bad trip to the doctors, hope the roids work quickly and you feel better real soon

i'm sorry you're having such a rough time.
i'm also glad your dr got to see all your sx's and pain, even tho i wish it wasn't happening to you.

he sounds like he's doing all he can.
i hope the meds work for you and you get thru all this to feel better.

Legzz - you are still SuperWoman in my book. What a trooper! Your sense of humor and positive outlook takes a very strong person.

When I had IVSM I discovered TicTacs were my friends! I popped those suckers every 5 minutes, and I should have bought stocks in them! Between the TicTacs and the Smarties, I got through the steroids, but now I am hooked on them! (I buy Smarties by the two pound bag!)

Rest Rest Rest!

Smarties should come with "WARNING: The surgeon general has determined that Smarties may be habit forming."

I used Altoid fruit flavored candy and that worked really well.

I'm so sorry for all you're going through. I'm only glad the lp is showing something, for all you've been through. Not that I want ya to be abnormal, but you know what I mean. I'm glad there's news.
