I am so sorry sweetie. I know how you feel. I had surgery 4 years ago to remove a cyst and perform a bladder biopsy, and some how I got sick the day after I came from the hospital(outpatient). It caused infection in my joints.

They say have Fibromyalgia. The first 3 years were tough, they did not know what was wrong with me. I was put on many different pain pills, including Vioxx and celebrex. They gave me bad headaches and made my stomach bleed. Now I am on Ultram and doing ok for a few hours. I have learned to live with it. I wonder when that will make the list.

What are you going to do?

Oh my God that's horrible. I hope you're doing well though. I guess the only thing to do is wait and see what they say. I really should go get some tests done on my heart just to see what's going on, but I just graduated from college and I don't have health insurance and I can't afford it (nor should my parents have to since they pay for everything now as it is) to go get a test done for them to tell me that nothing is wrong. I had some weird side effects from Celebrex too, it really messed with my stomach. The scary thing is, both of my parents took Celebrex (though I was the longest user), and a family friend of ours took it for about 2 years. It's freakin' scary, isn't it?

Take care of yourself, I'll definitely be thinking about you!
