have a few health threads going, it's been a long 2 weeks, I miss my kids so much it physically hurts :-(
The results from my lung biopsy come back tidal and with it a final diagnosis.
The front runner is neurosarcoidosis but the big c is yet to be ruled out.
So scared just want to press fast forward and get on with what ever it is. :-(

Oh largeglass hope that the results are good news for you. Must be agony waiting if you want some company while you wait I'm feeding a newborn so around to chat. X

Good luck today.

Ben10WasTheSpawnNowWeLoveLego · 20/10/2011 06:06

Bet you're loving the lactulose (not!) I got discharged 2 weeks ago and am still on it!

LargeGlassofRed · 20/10/2011 06:10

Thanks Ben, haven't had any lactulose, they did offer me the other day but it just makes me heave.
I'm sure once I'm at home I'll be ok just hate being in hospital.

Ben10WasTheSpawnNowWeLoveLego · 20/10/2011 06:32

It makes me heave too but is so much better than the alternative :( I'm going to increase my dose today and just hold my nose! Anyway all the best for today...

LittlePebble · 20/10/2011 06:35

Largeglass....can't imagine how nightmarish this must be for you. Hope you get some good results today, and that you're back in the ample bosom of your family v soon. (and just for good measure, X

LittlePebble · 20/10/2011 07:13

Oh how lovely to have such a large family, I'm sorry that you miss them so much. As spawn says hope you'll be back with them soon.
Do you have a time you'll find out the results? Clock watching is a killer...

LargeGlassofRed · 20/10/2011 07:13

Thanks spawn, :-) they did let me out on home leave last weekend, so praying if still in they'll do the same this weekend

Grockle · 20/10/2011 07:17

Oh largeglass, that sounds awful Sad

My vertigo has been much better, just mild dizziness for a bit bit nothing bad. The tinnitus is Terrible and my insomnia is not good despite sleeping tablets. So Im doing better but not brilliant. At least I am home so no complaints from me

LoveBeingAWitch · 20/10/2011 07:19

Once you know what you are dealing with I guess you will kind of feel better.

Anyway if you've been in there two weeks what's the good like? What would you recommend? Or tell us to avoid Grin

LargeGlassofRed · 20/10/2011 07:25

Sh glad the vertigo's better Grockle, hope the sleeping pills work soon, my mum swears by night nurse for insomnia.

Lovebeingawitch, the foods not too bad, the weights dropping off me though despite having 3 meals a day 2 puddings and not moving futher than the end of the ward and back.

Hi LargeGlass,

Just seen this. Thinking of you. Hope your results are ok

How is the dizziness?

GalloweesG · 20/10/2011 07:30

Oh LargeGlass, wishing you love and luck for today x

(for constipation see if you can get some psyllium husk capsules)

LargeGlassofRed · 20/10/2011 08:36

Thanks essex, vertigo and dizziness still there not too bad if I stay still, but awful when I move,

Thanks gallow, will see if Dp can get me some.
