Laura, I am so sorry that you are still having problems. I hope they can find an answer soon. Are you still taking the Vicoden? Xanax? You mentioned you can't walk? Is that due to vitamin deficiency? weakness from not eating? What's going on there? I'm pretty worried about you. Have they talked to you about TPN, pickline, Jtube, Gtube? something to get nutrition into you???? I have anxiety/depression and take paxil and xanax and vicoden (for my back) and I know how easy it is to keep on taking the Vicoden. I've had to wean myself off it...after discussing it with my doctor. The thing is, my doctor was wanting to give me more...I had to actually ask him on only give me enough to take 2 a day..he said "are you sure that's enough?" I said yes, that's all I want, thanks!!! Geez, it's funny how some docs won't prescribe meds unless your are dying...and others hand out Vicoden like it's candy!

Well, I hope you have a nice Christmas and get some relief soon.

Please keep us posted. We are all very concerned about you and care for you.

Well, I had to get a new primary care doc, and I love him!!! We sat and talked forever, I didnt take any meds before i went to see him cuz i wanted him to see the real me no zanax risperdal or vicadon!! On another note he asked me to never come back inside his office without taking my meds "i was a complete mess and crying like a baby!!! Anyway, we went over my bypass and he was in just shock that "this" dr did this and not being 100 pounds over weight he also thinks that has alot to do with my problems!!! He is 100% behind me on the reviosion!!! And he is asked me to sign a release for dr Eagons recordss well my records I said of course!! He made me a very happy person and he said and just to let you know that i dont normally give narcatics to anyone but i do believe you that you are in pain and I will continue to give them to you untill this dr fixes you or we will find another dr!! I huggged him and told him i loved him..... and asked him not to retire to soon ....that was joke!! And I promised to always take my meds before i go in!!! Food for me has went straight back down hill and the nausau has come back for revenge!!! worse then ever!! But, I am forcing my self to eat even if i do get sick, i know that its still down there cuz the actual food dont come back up!!! I have to survive a litttle bit longer and stay strong!! Well, just wanted to update you all!!!! Great day!!!!

I'm so glad you found a good doctor! It sounds like you are on the right track. I'm also sorry that you are still having the problems eating. Sounds like something needs to change...and in a hurry. You sound like a prime candidate for a reversal. Please keep us posted.
