Default Finally, some good news from me!

Hi All!
I had an endoscopy today, a check up on the 2 Halo procedures I had last Oct. and again in Jan. The Endoscopy showed that I no longer have Barrett's Cells in my esophagus.......pre cancerous cells.
The Halo procedure is an ablation laser procedure that burns the pre cancer cells. First you have the Halo 360 and then 3 months later you have the Halo 90. It's a brand new procedure and there's not many gastro dr.s who's doing it.......luckily my world renown Barrett's specialist is doing the procedure.

Since my veins are SO bad from the IVIG's, nurses have a terrible time finding a vein for procedures. Today it took 4 sticks to find a vein, Gosh I hate that! I have the Port but they can't use it.

On another note......I'm taking Cymbalta, 120mg. now for my PN pain. It's actually helping some. I had to stop taking the Lyrica because of the weight gain it causes.

Now I'm trying to find a sleep medication that keeps me asleep at night. I've always had a sleep issue......since I was little and have tried everything on the market thru the years. Now I'm trying Seraquil 25mg at night. Does anyone have opinions on meds to keep you asleep? I can get to sleep on my own, just can't stay asleep after a few hrs.

I hope everyone is having a good day.........
