    Kimmy, I hope the tests get to the bottom of this for you and it is easily treated and nothing serious.

    As for endo I can relate. I have it but four weeks ago I had a hysterectomy to treat/end it. I hope it worked!!!

    You are in my thoughts and prayers.

    From Decker with Love

    It's okay! It shows you care.

    It wasn't as much as I was craving pasta as I was craving italian food. I like to mix it up when it comes to ethnic foods. Sometimes I crave mexican, other time mediterranean dishes, ect... other times I just want a good ol' fashioned burger.

    I eat a lot of beef, chicken, and fish.

    Today was cereal and juice for breakfast, ham sandwiches with fruit, yogurt, and cheese and crackers for lunch, and I'm trying to decide between tuna or beef for dinner.

    Halloween.

    I was going to dress up for work, but now that I have the doctor appointment, I'm not sure. Or I could bring my costume with me and get dressed up at work after the appointment.

    Absolutely dress up for the appointment - you'll be the patient that makes them smile - and remember you!

    Me too! Oh Kimmy! I hope it's something simple. If it's any help, I, too, have my first post-op appointment at 8:15 a.m. on Halloween. I asked the doctor's office if it was okay to come in costume and the nurse laughed and said they required it! although I'm not sure how complex a costume I want to do now that I know I'll have to take it off!

    Well, it is just a pirate costume so it'd be easy to take off if they need me in a gown. Plus it has big poofy sleeves, which makes it easy to roll up for blood withdrawl.

    I'll dress up then!

    Yep! Yummy!!! (sorry Mr. Buffalo)


    Hope you feel better, Kimmy. I know the feeling. I just had 5 vials of blood (just in time for Halloween I guess) taken to test for everything possible, too. I hate the waiting. Fingers crossed that you're OK...



    I've been Boooo'd!

    I vant to suck your blood!!!



    Just got back from the doctors. Went well and I should get the results of the blood work in a couple of days.

    They are testing for anemia, diabetes, & thyroid specifically as well as running a full CC panel and Lipid panel.

    Dr. Eaton said if everything comes back normal, then she may recommend me for a sleep study.

    And for the first time in 14 years I didn't pass out after having the blood drawn. I was impressed with myself.

    I hope you can get some answers, Kimmy. When I read that you fell asleep, while kneeling down to pet the cats, something triggered in my mind that it might be a sleep disorder. I knew a lady, a long time ago, who suffered from a sleep disorder and would fall asleep in some strange situations. The scary part was that it could happen when she was driving a car.

    You be safe and take care of yourself.

    No experience with pregnancy or endometriosis here and while I always says sleeping is my hobby I still never felt asleep while feeding the cats.....
    So I keep my fingers crossed that the tests will turn out with something that is easy to fix

    Dystonia?

    Try Googling that.
