Billye, I'm sick with worry for you. I don't know why he said it was colon---did you have diarrhea? I hope he's right. I just don't like it. I'd think, if you don't have symptoms other than fever, that a kidney infection would be more likely. Don't know about this colon thing without diarrhea.

I do hope the antibiotics work for you, and quickly.

With love,

Didn't hear about bridge until late at night and still can't get ahold of any
one,i am sick about it. I will be in hospital tommomorow don't know if i'll spend the night Sue.

I sent you an email, Yes there was some diarrea. Which is really unusual for me. I think he's probably right. He says there is something called ulcerative colitis and it goes along with lupus,RA and Sjogren's. So it's likely he's right. We'll see tho. He's treating me for infection first and said if I got to where I couldn't keep liquid down, to call him and he'd hospitalize me and call in the big guns. Don't worry. I'm on top of it.

Billye

Just saw your postings here .... take it easy! and hoping the anti-b's do the job.......

Billye,

Thinking of you in California. Looking forward to good news!

--you're likely to get more, or at least the effect of more--is this possibly related to a Crohn's-like symptomology?

Hope you start feeling better, in any case.

I'm actually not as bad as yesterday. Temps still over 100 but I think the thing whatever it is is burning out. Glenn, the doctor called it ulcerative colitis. He's not sure I have it, he's just speculating. And it does go along with what I have, Sjogren's and RA. He gave me Cipro to take twice a day, told me to drink lots of liquid, bland diet, etc. I just talked to Jane and I'm really not as bad as yesterday. I've only had the first round of anti-biotics so far. I hope to feel better and better.

Thank you all for your good wishes.

Billye
