I didn't ask what the big deal was but there must be something big. He said I have to take it every day and I can't skip a dose. He said thats really important too. I didn't have any solid foods today besides a brownie at midnight. Only a couple Slim Fasts and 2 iced tea lemonades and a Coke. I did get some little snacky stuff from Walmart I think I can eat. I had a good amount of pain after the second slim fast tonight but I used the heating pad for an hour and it seems to be ok now. I can take more tylenol in a bit and I'll probably sleep with an ice pack. I'm hoping this med works until I get into see the doctor because I don't want to go to the ER. My primary said the gastro doctor might decide to "scope" me and I worry about going under anethesia again because its not that I have a bad reaction to the stuff itself but its just I seem to get into these funky moods after getting procedures done whether I get anethesia or not. My therapist thinks my phelebotmy procedure tramatized me a bit and theres no guarantee I won't need a second one of those. I'll have 4 injections under my belt by the time the blood test is due to be done which is plenty of time for the blood level to go up. I'm a bit nervous.

Could you have gallstones or something? They can flare up and cause pain after eating certain things….
