Thanks for the words of support Lori. I appreciate them. I went to the doctor. He said I had a small ovarian cyst. He wondered when my period was going to start I told him that it already had. He was a bit concerned with the timing. He said it wasn't too bad though and we'd have to watch it. My intestinal things came back normal so he's guessing it's a flare up.. He also said that my Urine came back a bit funny so they sent it off for a culture.

He prescribed me Lonox to take 1-2 4 times a day (it's an antidiarrheal that helps with stomach cramps) and he gave me Vicodin incase I have any severe pain. The Lonox takes a bit to get into my system so I've had to take about 4 a day. They're helping really well.. I'm glad he listened to me. He knew I was doing so well. Even the nurse commented that I hadn't had to come in for my stomach or Endo since April.. (I last went in May, but only for a check up) The only other thing that I had been in for was my wrist. My doctor said he was proud that I was taking such good care of myself. :) I even gained a few pounds which is good.. I'm now up to 124. He said that's a good weight for me. I'm also able to eat anything I want now! It used to be just the sight or smell of meat would make me throw up.. Although I still can't stand the smell of raw chicken. Sometimes it won't even be around and I'll just remember what it smells like and want to vomit LOL...

I hope that you do get to seek medical attention Lori. Talk to some local charities they can usually help with medical bills. I haven't been able to pay on any of mine, so I'm going to talk to a local charity.
