Guest guest Posted November 12, 1999 Report Share Posted November 12, 1999 Geri, Thanks for all the info. I see my primary doc next week. I am printing all of this info to take with me. The nearest transplant team is in Gainesville and I think I just might ask for a referral to go see a hepatologist as you suggested. Bless you and your infinite wisdom, Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 15, 1999 Report Share Posted November 15, 1999 Ginger, You'll be happy to know that the American Liver Association said the best hepatoligists in florida are at Shands/Gainesville or the University of Miami! Here is a link to Shands, Dr. Worman at the ALA specifically recommended Dr. O'Brien and his team. <A HREF= " http://www.hsc.ufl.edu/beta/shands/ " >Click here: Welcome to ShandsWeb, the official Shands HealthCare web site.</A> Good luck!!!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2000 Report Share Posted October 5, 2000 Thank you, Gail, for the web site. Also, thank you for everyone helping with table behaviors. I did begin to sit Josiah at the table in a regular chair with a belt around him. This is actually working very well, right now. I've been very surprised at his good behavior. I'm so glad to get him out of the high chair. I've actually found that his bad behaviors have become far less than when he was in that high chair. He use to hit, pull hair or anything he could do within arms reach of anyone. Now, he doesn't try anything! Yea for Josiah. Also, school this year is going better than I ever could hope for. Josiah's new associate is so good with him. I gave her that 26 page article that the Autistic man wrote and she read every bit of it. She is also working on communication with PECS and he is really responding to it. Last year his Special Ed teacher, the one that refuses to work with him, said that he couldn't communicate or make choices until he showed an interest, duh!, how can he show an interest if it's never presented. Well, his associate is helping him and he's doing great with it. She is also reading scripture to him, by request, and playing beautiful music during his quiet time. In return he's coming home so happy and he is showing an interest in computer time and specific books. This is all a first for him at school. He did many of these things at home and they thought I was a little crazy cuz he wouldn't do anything at school. I am so grateful for her. Because of all of this we are at a different place in our lives at home! I never thought we would get a break and feel am finally seeing what I've known for soooo long. That is: most of Josiah's behaviors are behavioral because of us not understanding him and him not being able to communicate with us, now that we are making some break throughs, seems like he's a different child. What a relief! I've heard so many great stories on here, which I've have been so grateful for and so glad for many of you, now, finally, here's a success story for our Josiah.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2000 Report Share Posted October 8, 2000 For awhile, I was getting these digests are a series of e-mails - now they're coming as downloads. I really prefer to get them not as downloads, but just the digest that I can see immediately when I open my digest e-mail. Is there anything special I need to do?

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2000 Report Share Posted October 8, 2000 Hi Tig and Tara, Thanks to you both for the suggestions. I loaned my original LL video to a friend and when I get it back I will pick out some exercises that I think will work my areas that need it most. For now I will do the other video (#1). I also realize that I have been eating late at night. My husband gets off work late and I have been eating with him. I'll have to cook dinner earlier for me and the reheat it for him when he gets home. Also, I hadn't been having dairy for quite awhile and lately I've had some here and there which adds up. I guess I just need to get back on track and I will start losing again. By the way, what is BBB that I have seen listers refer to? I'll try to post more than I have. Like most everyone else, I've been busy, busy, busy! :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2000 Report Share Posted October 10, 2000 I am mostly a lurker because I have little to contribute being so new to making toiletries. I want to tell everyone how much I enjoy this list and everyone that shares. So, I though I would share a disaster and kind of a cautionary tale for newbies like myself. I was asked by my friend's daughter to make her some moisturize. I was flattered and scared to death never having made moisturizer before only balms and salves. So, I began formulating and reformulating and even ordered a few eo's to make it special. I kept her waiting - not a good thing - but told her I was waiting for the eo's to arrive, all true. Well, they arrived. And I was going to my friend's home that night! I wanted to bring the lotion. My scale is a simple digital scale. I bought it about a year ago. And as I began to weigh items I knew that the amounts looked odd. Then I noticed that the amounts were not being registered by the scale. I'd weigh and weigh again. And when I got 3 weighs that were the same I assumed that all was well. Hmmmmm. Little did I know that all was not well. I mixed and blended and the lotion smelled great and felt great warm. But then it cooled. And then it became a new form of aromatherapy rubber! My friend's daughter bought her moisturizer and I now have a mysterious recipe for a new substance as of yet known to man. I was told when I bought my scale (from folks who only sell scales) that it would rarely need to be calibrated. I talked to some soapers and was informed otherwise. Moral of this tale - always calibrate your scales - always! Thank you all for listening, Anjeanne :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 In a message dated 9/3/2001 5:06:16 AM Central Daylight Time, writes: 4 reply's to ya dear!!!!!!!!! :-)))))))) What is the average time that most of you on this site got sick from your implants? Do you believe that after 6 or even 8 years women can still get ill or do most of you believe that if you don't get sick right off then you most likely won't ever get ill. 1-) For me it was about 4 years. I do believe though, that it depends on the person's chemistry make-up, as to when they feel the effects. That's sort of like asking a person, that's just been told they have cancer, How long have you had it, or when did you get it. No one knows for sure. A chemical that may react faster to me, may not act as fast to other's. Then again, we have things going on in our bodies, that we don't even know about, until it shows up on x-rays or blood work but again not knowing how long ago the beginning was. My outer shells were gone, when the PS went in to remove the Implants. Who knows when they started too degenerate inside of me? Could have been a month or could have waited for 15 years...it just waited eleven, before I knew about it. Then it was too late! 2-) A highly reputable DR told someone I know that if she had not gotten ill after 6 years chances were she never would, .... I don't mean this to be ugly, but this Dr. would not be reputable enough for me! There seems to be a lot of them around, but we 'Breast Implant Women' that are sick, can't seem to find them, when we need them. 3-) like allot of women are in fact able to have implants without getting ill like we have True...but their time isn't up yet, either.....I do believe it will get them sooner or later. For us, it was just sooner. No-one can sell me on Silicone, with the fact that some aren't sick.............YET! YET is the kicker in my opinion. 4-) If there were a way to test before hand who is susceptible and who isn't I guess implants could still be used safely If there was/is a way, the Manufact. and PS would never let 'THAT CAT OUT OF THE BAG'.....they'd go broke and not be able to sell/make money. REMEMBER: THIS IS MY OPINION......NOT to make anyone mad. And by the way........My OTHER opinion.....is..IT's A DOW eat WOMEN WORLD!!!

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Jim, Hang in there buddy. I know you are miserable - I am too right now, but I believe there is hope for you somewhere. I don't know if Medicare allows one to travel out of state for medical care. I think that would probably be the place to start. Once you know that, maybe you could go to the Scoliosis Research Society site & see what they have listed under revision surgeons. They don't have a complete list, but it is a place to start. I know that you said you didn't have scoliosis, but you do have flatback, & the corrective surgery you need will be basically the same whether you have scoliosis or not. If you find out that Medicare WILL let you travel, and if you are still ambulatory, there is an organization called Angel Flight who flies patients to out of state medical appointments for free. They do fly small planes, usually 4 to 6 seats. Hope this helps. God bless. With Blessings & Love, Carla Kay ~ Ps. 96:1 O come let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
