I had reposted a previous post that I had written that I take 42 supplements a day. I am scheduled to go back to see Dr. Clark in September. He will change them if need be then.
Okay, yesterday I had my two procedures. Leading up to that, I had to stop all of my supplements for seven days prior. Let me tell you that that was so rough! I stopped taking them on Monday night, Tuesday afternoon, it felt like I was drunk. By Friday, it felt like I had a urinary track infection. Sunday, my head was in a jar of water! I couldn’t wait for Wednesday!
So, Tuesday night, I did my preparation for the colonoscopy. I opted to take the pills. All I can say, is that I am NOT a fan to say the least!!! it didn’t even work! I have to have a repeat procedure. I threw up three times while taking the pills! Barb, my nurse said that it wouldn’t be clean. It wasn’t. That stinks!
I have said it so many times and it is a known fact that I am a ‘rule follower,’ and I followed those directions to the T but it does not work for someone who has had MS for 24 years! I know that now!
So, the colonoscopy had to be aborted, but my endoscopy showed that I have gastritis. Wait. What? So of course I Internet search!ed, something I absolutely abhor, but I did it anyway:
I stopped drinking in 2009 but I did start taking Motrin 800 every night in 2018 after my second knee surgery.
My Mom picked up my prescriptions from Meijer today as well as multiple supplements from Zerbo’s. I’m tackling this with both Eastern and Western medicine like I always have done with my MS.
She brought in a big bag from Meijer and four different supplements from Zerbo’s. It was a lot! It took me a minute to sort out what I need to add to my daily vitamin dosages.
Sh also picked up my new preparation for the rescheduled colonoscopy. It was 2 4 L empty jugs with powder in them. This new preparation is a two day preparation and I need to stop eating solid food two days before I start that.
they will call my Mom to reschedule. I’m not looking forward to that! So again, NOT a fan to say the least!!!
A Pet Shop Boys song popped into my head when my Mom brought the things from Zerbo’s. I didn’t even know it was a Pet Shop Boys song. It wasn’t one of my songs, but I remember hearing it. And my Mo me and I listened to it and she said that it came out in 1984. So I must have heard it somewhere, the dentist,or in the back of my Mom‘s station wagon? Anyway, it’s in my head again right now:
