hey all,
it does help me to find that others go thru the same thing. I'm glad to help and I get lots of help from you guys, too! :)I hope the MRI goes well - keep us updated on what you find out.
About the infection - sorry you have that. I got a yeast infection after starting Lex, and before that I'd never had one in my life. It could be coincidence...I don't know. I hope you heal up quickly!
take care - talk to you soon.
JenStar> Hey Ladies! Sorry I have been out of the loop - was traveling for work! Jen - thanks SO much for your post! You have no idea (or maybe you do!) how much it helps to know that other people go thru what I have been going through!

> The lex has definitely helped me stop examining everything. I have been on it for 5 weeks and there is a big difference. I actually had a check up for the lex this morning and while i was there i had a urine test done as I have had a bladder infection. It looks like i have a lot of protein in my urine and I have to come back after taking some antibiotics to see if it is still there. Anyone had this? Of course it freaks me out a bit (not as bad cause of lex - i would normally be eating xanax like crazy by now) because she said it could be kidney leakage or strep of the kidney! UGH!

> I went ahead and told her about my right foot and the lack of feeling and odd sensations. I work out a lot so i am having a lower back MRI next week to see if it is a disc/pinched nerve situation. Of course the hypochondriac in me has always wanted an MRI - hahah - so i almost feel like begging for a full body one while i am in there! :)

> I am sure they are both something small, and i thank God for the lex because this would TOTALLY freak me out under normal circumstances. I won't even allow myself to research it (ALS,MS, LUPUS) all of the things I always wonder if I have. I know myself well enough to know that if I look it up, other symptoms will pop up!

> It could just be anxiety related - who knows!

> Anyway - I love having hypochondriac friends as no one understands this really. I can laugh at myself, but deep down i worry to myself too.
