Dear Millie, Just a note to say that I am thinking of you. I agree with Susan, I am worried about how much the pain is not only impacting your world, but why they cannot figure it out is concerning. It sounds as others have shared that it might be your spleen, pancreas issues, or referred pain? I just wanted to put out there another, maybe more far fetched idea- you might want to ask the doc about it. I know you have back issues as well. If thorasic discs have issues, disc herniation, bulging, etc...they often present as pain that wraps around from you back to your front- almost like a big rubber band that is too tight around you. It usually moves around oneside, it's deep ache, ongoing..pain meds can relieve it, sometimes icing helps...I have had this issue, it's why I know about the symptoms....it sounds like your symptoms most likely are drug side effects/ organ related..but just thought I would put out there back issues...you had mentioned in one of your emails that it goes from back to front..that's why I was curious and thought I would throw this out there..mostly, I just wish - all of us do, that you could have a holiday free of pain andthey could figure out exactly what the asue is so they can treat it..the same with Jeannie.... You are amazing Millie, with your cooking...keep that positive attitude nourished MIllie. I know how hard it is to live with chronic pain and how much it can zap the energy from you..I trust you will make sure your doctor's are listening to you..you are a good advocate- keep pushing for answers!!..and I know you love your one doctor...You continue to be such a ray of sunshine...so, keep on truckin....hope you enjoy your holidays! and take good care of you!!!

Perhaps you should call your doc and discuss your inability to function because of the pain. I know your liver is compromised, but it seems the spleen may also be a factor. I'd hate for you to have to make a trip to the hospital due to it all. Especially at this time of year. Definitely praying for you, my sweet friend. Thank you for all your wonderful posts. We all want you to take care of yourself and not ignore this problem! God bless you, and keep that chin up!
