1. THE INTENSE PAIN LASTS 5-6 HOURS.BETWEEN THE ATTACKS I STILL HAVE SOME PAIN. FOOD SEEMS TO CONTRIBUTE TO AN ATTACK. ITS NOT A BIG FACTOR.
I HAVE NOT EATEN IN THE PAST TWO DAYS.

2. NO FEVER. I HAVE VERY LITTLE APPETITE.

3. BOWEL MOVEMENTS ARE VERY LOOSE, BUT I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR
MONTHS BEFORE THIS STARTED.

4. NO DIABETES

THIS SEEMS TO AFFECT MY BONE PAIN ALSO,BUT I HAVE ATHRITIS AND GOUT
SO I HAVE BONE PAIN FREQUENTLY ANYWAY. I TAKE TYLENOL EVERY DAY PER
MY DOCTOR. I ALSO HAVE CONSTANT MUCOUS. I NORMALLY HAVE A LITTLE.
I ALSO SUFFER FROM ALLERGIES AND THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST ALLERGY
YEAR IN HISTORY. I HAD PROSTATE CANCER 2 OR 3 TEARS AGO AND HAD THE
PROSTATE REMOVED.
THAKS FOR THE HELP
