Hi Norma,
WOW.... you sure have been on a ride with this. Glad to hear that you got it diagosed correctly. Sure says a lot for us being proactive in managing our health care!
Hopefully you will keep feeling better day after day... btw...losing weight is a great side benefit of being ill, not sure it's worth the price though. I was about 160 lbs prior to my surgery a few weeks ago, and now I am 142lbs. YIKES... my body took all my muscle protein and fat to help maintain and heal. You can only imagine the shocked looked on my face when I first looked in the mirror.
Get well soon my friend.
Rob
