Worried about Friends

What you said Mike, I feel the same way. I was so relieved when she posted last time, I was hoping they were getting close to leveling things out.
I wish she could get transferred from the E.R she's in, it didn't sound like they knew which end was up.
She's really tough, I think she may need some time to recuperate being through all she's been through lately.

I'm closer to people here because we understand each other as no AB can. How many AB's do you know that would cheer for a successful bowel movement.

We have a bond of some sort being in this together. Well thats how I feel, maybe I'm being sappy but I really do care about our members.

People do drop off the internet when in hospital or quite ill. It can be risky to keep your phone with you in the hospital, and wifi is often unavailable. Giver her a week before you panic.

Well, at least you are still with us, Jaylock. So good to see your post and to know you are recovering. Disappointing that you are back where you started with no definitive diagnosis as to what could have caused your condition. Hope you continue to improve. Thank you for messaging.

Insect bites turned out fine, vintage, So did the colonoscopy and the barium GI. I'm still miserable, but home at least. BP up again yesterday morning, this morning, and the night before. Each time it was caused by a bout of very loose stool needing to get out. This wasn't possible without some sort of gravity and stimulation. Since coming home my stool is very loose and program unpredictable. I started using the Magic Bullet again after my first hospital stay two weeks ago, something I stopped using many years ago due to an allergic reaction. The doc seemed to think the reaction might be cured after so many years and recommended I try it again for a better evacuation. It was okay to start, and does work, but could I still be having that reaction? Could that cause loose stool? i feel as though I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. I'm in so much discomfort I just can't even get out of bed most of the day. Have finally stopped eating mega doses of ice cream and sugar. STILL waiting for a GI appointment in Boston. I have to go back to work next week and have no idea how I'm going to be able to manage that. I keep waiting for life to get back to normal again, but I've lost sight of what that means.  I need to stop moaning but am so frustrated right now and don't know where to turn next. 

Jaylock, I had hoped that your blood pressure would have come down by now. It sounds like your bowels are stimulating your autonomic system into overdrive. Could be time to think about colostomy. It's a huge step but it could transform your life. Would this be an option on your healthcare system? Could you have it done for convenience sake, rather than having to have it done because it's diseased?
