I have been to hell and back the last few months. [View all]

I am now just getting over a mild concussion and a bruised tail bone. I was helping my dog get into the car. She lurched back and I fell on concrete. I had a lump the size of a goose egg on my head.

I had just been through a month or more of vomiting and no one knew why. I was anemic and my kidneys were not happy. No one could figure out what was happening and I was pretty sure I wasn't going to be here much longer. I dropped twenty pounds. The upside was I was on the low end of normal weight.

I kept going to the doctor and he was threatening the hospital. I started reading in here and online. I figured out the vomiting was medication related and some changes were made. I am feeling better than I have felt in a year, my weight has stabilized and I am walking again. I still hurt every day but my blood test are slowly getting better. I want to thank this group. You were there and although I didn't post I got ideas.
