Stay strong and do your best to find something positive in each day -- despite the negativity and scariness that abounds. There is peace in optimism; maybe you can draw on ours for your sustenance? Anyway, keep us posted and don't give up. That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger -- which makes you a mighty warrior in a tiny package!

I know my mother-in-law has had tests like that, and I think that might be what they did when they were testing to see if her stomach made enough acid (she was having problems with digestion). So maybe it's a "too much acid" vs "not enough" sort of test? At any rate, whatever they are testing for, I hope they find answers and treatments so you will start to feel better SOON!

I know how bad you feel, I really do. But it is all over now and you made it through like a champ! And I do think the needles trigger something in you. I had a similar breakdown too after having been in the hospital for a while. They used up all my veins and had to use diabetic needles in my ankles to draw blood. That was fun. It does something to you mentally, and unless you have been through it, I don't think people can comprehend it. But I get it, I understand. Don't feel bad. It's all over now, your home, your ok. Rest. I am so sorry you had to go through this again. I know how bad you feel, I really do. But it is all over now and you made it through like a champ!
