It is indeed a crappy deal, LisaMarie. Glowing in the dark can be entertaining, though, and maybe will take the edge off things. But maybe the best thing is as you suggest: Opening a bait shop in Fiji, among the coconuts and mangoes....

In the meantime let us know how Dr. Specks accounts for himself.

I love Fiji, but being a third world Country with sanitation not at it's best.......then you probably should stay away :)

LisaMarie, it sucks.....really sucks, that you have to go through this......again.
I hope you get some answers tomorrow and hopefully the strss levels will come down a bit.

Take care of yourself

Try to keep your chin up. I know it's not easy. I hope your appointment goes well and it's nothing a little R&R won't fix.

How did you lose 12 lbs in a week?? Even if you do a water fast you don't lose that kind of weight. That has me worried.

LisaMarie,

I'm sorry that you are having all this happen to you right now. It sounds like you are under so much emotional stress and then to have your health go down like this. I hope that you get some answers with your appt. and that they can at least make things better for you with your health stresses. Will have you in my thoughts this week.
