    Karen glad to see that it was treatable. Do check back on what WWM & BC have said.

    BC the only blood thinners I took were back when I had the heart attack I took Plavix for one month. After that I was prescribed Pravastatin and Atenolol. They are to slow my heart rate and reduce cholesterol. I do however take one aspirin per day. =)

    So glad to hear that this was treatable. As for doctor . . . I had a similar experience once.

    Karen is it a regular or baby aspirin? You just might want to notice if you are bruising more and let your doctor know. I'm so glad to hear that it is something so easily fixed.

    Talked to Karen earlier she is doing good, but is tiered from getting up so early. At least it was just a bad UTI and nothing worse.
    Love ya Karen

    Karen, hope you are feeling better today!

    Thanks Katthays....I'm doing pretty well today. Relieved in one sense but like WWM stated the other day all the symptoms seem to indicate more than one thing going on and only one was truly dealt with. I think I need to research Irritable Bowel Syndrome and that will put me well on my way to having all the answers. =)
    Hahaha! I think in a couple of days I'll actually be able to join the conga line but don't expect me to do it on a raised dance floor....I'd probably break my neck! LOL! =)

    BC I'm taking regular adult strength aspirin and haven't noticed any bruising at all. So that's a good thing, right?

    Posted 2 years ago by Karenopa #

    It is NOT a raised floor for the conga line, just a regular floor! I think there are too many of us that might fall and break something! So glad you are feeling better Karen! Keep getting better!

    Karen, I've posted many times before about my digestive nightmares!..... I swear by two things.... a good probiotic.... and read "the Makers' Diet" by Jordan Rubin..... this book really helped my restore my digestive system after I almost died from having a severe allergic reaction to an antibotic I was given, and it caused Ulcertive Colitis!.....

    Thank you very much AV! By probiotic do you mean cultured yogurt. Like activia?
    *running to research probiotic*

    Back:

    Hmmm..I've been drinking Acidophilus milk for a while but not daily. Maybe I should start drinking a small glass each day and see if it helps. I know it's a bad thing to depend on caffeine for anything but if it wasn't for my morning cups of coffee I think I'd be in big trouble. =(

    I too, have digestive nightmares but mine is due to an emergency colon resection in 2003. I agree with AV those are both GREAT ideas!

    Thanks also AV for the book tip. I'm going to check with our library for "the Maker's Diet". =)

    Karen,
    a probiotic is so much more than simply acidophilus, it does contain acidophilus, but also has more more of the "good" bacteria that needs to be put back in your system. Ask your health food store for the best one they sell, I buy mine from my doctor - it is pharmacutical grade. I can tell you that the pharmacutical grade ones do not have to be refridgerated (they are THAT good)... many in the health food stores will need to be kept refridgerated to keep them active, but if that's the best you can find, that's ok. ((hugs))...... congas back to the Cafe....

    Karen, Wayne has IBS and our doctor told him to cut the caffeine. So now he only drinks a small amt of caffeine once in a while. It worked wonders for him!

    I'm glad you are feeling better, Karenopa. By the end of the weekend you should be in pretty good shape.

    It is possible that the UTI caused a lot of problems that you wouldn't ordinarily equal with your bladder. You should still do some research on IBS, and a probiotic is a good idea whether you have IBS or not. But you might be surprised how many of your symptoms disappear when the infection is cleared up. Things are pretty tight in abdomens so distress in one organ can easily lead to distress in all its neighbours. So, that's what I'm hoping for you - the UTI goes away and all your other symptoms go with it.

    Karen, I'll send you some stuff via email on IBS. I'm still concerned about those bowel symptoms. Do you get enough fiber in your diet?

    I'm a little late to the celebration but I'm so glad that you are on the road to recovery and relieved that there are no other issues too! I hope you have a restful and peaceful weekend.

    CBM....that really makes such total sense and I thank you for pointing it out. I hope you're right cause I'm real ready for this to be done for once and for all. =)
