Best of luck with this!

Judy, Keep in touch and let us know how things go. I drink the Sams Club brand flavored water you can get at Walmarts. Its got a good taste and no calories too! Its a lot cheaper than some other brands.

Judy, don't start with a big amount of water. Start by sipping on an 8-12 oz. bottle through out the day, then increase it a little each day. The next day, fill the bottle, and after you've drank it, fill the bottle again 1/4 th full, then next day or so, fill it the 2nd time 1/2 full, etc.
I'm not much of a water drinker either, but have started doing this, and it helps.

Hope you get some answers soon!!

Good Luck!!! I don't drink water either. I should start also.

Keeping you in thoughts. I hope you get some answers!

Good luck to you,and i hope they can find and fix your problem.About the water,try Propel,the flavored water.It has good flavor and doesn't leave an after taste.

Holding many good thoughts for you Judy.

Judy, I am keeping you in my prayers!
I am so glad you decided to get your tests done first. Judy, do you need to drink the 64 ounces of water today for the test?

Thanks for checking in with us. I'm soooo glad you're still under the doctor's care and will have the tests before you go; Then you can enjoy your vacation more. Hoping they find a cause.

I do wish you well. This sounds just terrible.

Keep us posted.

Judy,

I don't know what your specific problem is with the water is but may I recmmend you try ice chips. I couldn't handle water at all with my last pregnancy... even taking a shower and water getting on my lips would make me hurl. There are some rather cheap snow cone makers that may do the trick if you think you could handle ice instead of water. But you need to eat of lot of ice ... one full cup of ice chips melts down to only a very small amount of water so don't be fooled. Good luck with everything.

I'm soooo glad you are getting it all checked out. The cardiologist would be checking for blockage in and around the heart. You can have lower blockage effecting your legs and feet. Whatever it is, getting some answers, will at least relieve the not knowing.
When this is done, I hope you have a wonderful vacation, the best ever.
Take care and let us know how things turned out.

I am trying to post.I may just box this up and take it to my computer man.The computer is so slow and it shows like a hr glass thing like it is refreshing and it takes forever.And when I am in a hurry I just want to scream.
Now for my tests and all.I called and they allow me to make some lemon aide and drank my 64oz that way.I loved it.So I may start making a jug of refesh lemon aide ever day this way Ashley and Greg will be getting water.
I wanted to answer whoever was wandering about why I can't drink water.It just makes me so nausea.I never liked water.I know water is lots lots better for us all.I am a coke drinker.
Now for my test.They placed blood pressure cuffs on my legs and they would pump up ever so often and whatever they were testing this is the way one test was done.Another test they Placed dye in my arm and they watched it as it went thur my body.They said they were checking for blockage in my legs.
I was suppose to see dr Wed afternoon but the test took longer than they thought because a lady came in with chest pain and it but everthing to a stand still for as the patient so this lady could be seen and taken care of.I understood and I said a prayer for the lady and her daughter because her daughter was scared to death.You could see it on her face.I wander why her daughter did not go straight to The ER.Unless she called and they told her to bring her in to the office.
Anyway I am going in the morning to talk with my cardiologist too see what the test showed if any thing.Before I went in for the test The lab did call and said my lab looked good and I would be able to go ahead with the tests.Having a stint I was afraid they would make me have that test where they go in a large vein in my leg and place dye in there to see if I have any more blockage.That is when they place a stint in.But I woke up during the test and man a life was it ever ever so painful and burning but that has been about 4 years ago.But I do want to keep ever thing checked because I rather be safe than sorry.
Ok its late.I will see if I can get this update posted and than I will try to post tomorrow nite what my heart said.,Thanks again For ALL your great great advises and the love I can feel thur this posting.You all made me not be scared and I felt like you were holding my hand.I could not make it without my kt family.You all been so nice to me.You know this heart isn't nothing to play around with.I am glad I went on and had my tests done and when they placed my stint in I am glad I went on.I had a 90% blockage and a 50% blockage and another blockage I can't remember what it was.Good nite Love you all.I am sorry the post is so long.So if you do not want to read it I total understand Judy

I am so glad you are having the tests done and am saying many prayers for you.

I'll be waiting for your update later Judy. Many prayers are still going for you.

Judy, about your sloooowwwwww computer. Have you installed Ad Aware or something like it to get the cookies off? It's pretty easy to use. You probably have lots of junk running in the background that you aren't aware of that's slowing it down. Do you need more (computer!) memory? Maybe others who know way more than I do can give you hints if you post a new subject. I'm soooo glad you got the tests and appreciate your posting.

Judy, you have been through so much health wise. After reading your other post I kind of was afraid for you and I am so relieved to see that you went in for your tests. My sister who is a nurse said last week that the hospital she works in there are so many amputations of legs and feet - mostly of men whose leg and feet had turned black due to poor circulation as a result of diabeties. I had asked my sister about this before I read about you because I was concerned about my brother who is now a diabetic and I am not sure he is doing what he should be doing in regards to his diet.

Judy, I wish for you good health in the future and that your test results can get you on the road to recovery.

Hugs

Anne
