I don't yet have a date for lap, I'm still waiting for the appointment. Do I have to wait for 12 months after the lap for the disability, or just 12 months in general? I don't know how that works...

I'm sorry you guys are getting a bunch of sh*t for things you can't help, even though you bust your asses and show up when you shouldn't.
Pisses me off that hung-over slackers can call in sick to work, but people with real medical problems always get the third-degree.
gemstone and cherry - If you can sue, do it. What these people are doing is wrong, and they shouldn't get away with it. I just don't understand why those of us who work the hardest, even when we're barely functioning, are put through all of this.

Oh Jenaya that sucks. I hope you feel better very soon. I've never had mono, but I've been told it just completely wipes you out.
I'm feeling awful today. I'm exhausted and my freaking hips and bottom are killing me. What's weird too is that my left ankle is hurting really badly as well. I took a half a percocet and will be laying on the couch for the rest of the day. I just worry sometimes. I just hoping what I'm feeling is normal for endo. I get stuck in fear a lot and that's exactly what's happening now. It all just sucks because it's so unpredictable. Yesterday I went to acupuncture and felt pretty good and today I feel like I'm going nuts.

Jenaya I prefer to think that it's an escape attempt

Paint I feel your pain for last 6 weeks I've had the intermittent ankle pain along with back pain, at first it puzzled me and scared me and now it just annoys me, cos it's enough to make you wince but you know it's not really there, it's referred from up in your back/abdomen! I get it right inside my knee and midway up my left inner thigh too, I showed my sister where I was getting the pain in my tummy and a mirrored pain (same feeling) in my leg and she thought it was funny then weird. Painful but you know it's not quite real! Hope you feel better after your day on the couch, I'm doing the same this evening. The brain escape Jenaya is having was found during an MRI, I'll let her explain...

I prefer to say that my brain is falling out! It's much more entertaining. I'm alright! I just need to not have my brain fall out anymore! And yes Cherry, maybe it is trying to escape! It's tired of thinking! The mono though really freakin sucks. It made it really hard to go to school every day when I was so tired. I dropped a lot of weight in October but I have it back now! My spleen is still enlarged. Here I thought I was constipated. blah, I have actually been enjoying laying on the couch doing nothing. It feels good.

I'm having my own mini crisis right now. I am back to having a very hard time passing urine. I have this ache around my butt again which makes the peeing harder. Chiropractor took the x rays and said it's my L5 that is messed up. I guess this is tied to the bladder as well. I went today for another adjustment for that L5 but still the peeing is terrible. I really have to push to get it out, I feel like I"m going to bust a vein in my head from pushing so much. Google sucks, people with L5 issues are using a catheter to help them pee! I'm scared to death. I see the regular doctor tomorrow and have the pelvic MRI on Friday. I don't think the MRI is going to view any bones, it's just the soft tissues per my gyno's lab order. I'm major freaking out. He also said it's the sciatica - I'm stretching every night but it is still this dull ache near my bottom. I wanna cry. sorry, it's a bad day for me today, I'm totallly spooked after reading up on this.

Thanks Cherry. It's so reassuring to know that other women have the same sort of pain and issues. I'm feeling somewhat better now. I'm going to go to yoga and do my best with some stretches. I'm just going to warn my instructor that I'm having a rough day.
Chicagogal: I'm sorry you are having such a hard time going to the bathroom I have similar issues, but it's with my bowel. I have a bad habit of googling things regarding my health as well as my kitties and it's always a bad idea. It just upsets me more then anything. I hope the doctors are able to help you.
