collected their alphas forever but am having a brain freeze. I thought I posted this question last night before I went to bed but can find the question or the answer this morning. I guess I did not hit the enter key. I have been having horrible headaches for the last few weeks and do not know what is causing them. I never have a headache!!! The only meds that have been added/changed are the antibiotics. They make me sick on my stomach but I had not given it much thought about the headaches until this morning. I will have to ask the Dr. tomorrow. I have had to put on reading glasses with my contacts. I am getting tired of feeling bad all the time! Something has got to give! I felt better before I started all this Dr. going and surgery twice a week. They put on skin grafts this past Monday so I can not quit the antibiotics. Tomorrow will be an interesting appointment. I just wonder if the grafts are bonding or if it is all a waste of time and money. I am beginning to get real depressed about the whole situation. It seems that they will never get well! I have delt with this off and on for 7/8 years now. I even almost lost my legs when the 1st Dr. did the horrible surgery on my legs. It took the 1st 4 months in the nursing home to figure out if I was going to make it and THEN..if they were going to be able to save my legs. I was 57 at the time. I am 62 now. They were healed when I got out of the Nursing Home but in 6 months time the skin was cracking open again. Poor circulation and swelling was what is causing it. Who knows what is going to happen this time. This Dr. says I will have to wear compression stockings for the rest of my life. With my arthritis, I have no idea how I am going to get them on. I barely have the strength in my hands to pick up normal things now and the arthritis is getting more painful everyday! The antibiotics set that off! I was doing pretty good until I had to start the antibiotics and everything started downhill! Do we have any nurses out there that has an answer for that? God has been good to me. He has given me my life twice. I feel guilty when I complain but it is awful to hurt like this all the time. I no longer leave the house except to go to the Dr. If I need to go to the grocery store, I go then. I pay everything by check or online. I do not even get my mail except the days I go to the Dr. I even listen to church service on television on Sundays. My life has changed so much I do not even feel like the same person. The Lord is my only comfort. I'm sorry, I did not mean to get so involved. This has just been a really bad few days and it caught up with me. Linda
