Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Shauna, Thanks so much!! That was so sweet of you to say! I had always been normal weight but my mom died in 1994 and I ate my way up til 1999 and I got a cholesterol reading of almost 300. Im a big baby when it comes to medical procedures and I decided that while I still had a choice about my health I would do something about it. I joined weight watchers and the gym all in the same day..LOL..2/27/99. I still follow the maintainance program and I exercise nearly every day in some way. As long as I keep exercising I dont have to police what I eat so much! So thats why Im really concerned about weight gain as a side effect. I have heard horror stories of people gaining like 40 lbs on certain meds. Yikes!! Have a great day! Suz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 >>I have heard horror stories of people gaining like 40 lbs on certain meds. Yikes!! I lost my appitite when I started going through the final phases of the break up a month ago and at the time was just under 200 (199 to be exact). Then the lex kicked in and I got my appitite back but somehow I gained a bit of extra will power and have now dropped to 178 in about 3 weeks. I wanted to drop to around 165-170 and figured I can stick this out to hit that then set up a decent diet to remain there.... gave me something else to put my mind to, too.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 Shauna, Are you only 29????? You are just a baby. I thought that at 50, a ripe old age, was still too young to get this nasty disease! I could be your mother. It sounds like you lead a pretty full life while you are on hold for that transplant. What exactly does an internship mean? How much longer to get the PHD? I get to retire next year and you have a whole career to think about. What do you think you will do when your education is completed. This is just me being nosy again. You take care and I can pray that the CALL comes to you very soon. Hugs, Kathy P.S. Cece is a youngster, too! You have done through so much in such a short life. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals..ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 Kathy, No you're not nosy at all! I am touched that you are interested in more than just the disease. " How much longer to get the Ph.D. ? " is the million dollar question. The original plan was to have graduated at the end of this past term but that did not happen. I am definitely struggling with my research at the moment (intellectually and emotionally) so things are not looking good at the moment. The summer school course that I am teaching will be over at the end of June so the plan for now is to come with up with a dissertation completion plan, effective July 1st. A key component to this plan will be to devise a better dissertation intellectual and emotional support system than the non-existent one I have at present. Part of my dissertation ambivalence relates to my uncertainty about what I want to do when I am through. I used to think that I wanted an academic job but now I am not so sure. Are you looking forward to your retirement? Since this might be getting a little off the topic of the list please feel free to email me directly at ssaunder@... Best Wishes, Shauna (29, AIH'86, Crohns'95, PSC'99, listed for ltx, MELD=17) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
