Hi Hedi, I had my CT Scan in the morning and took the films to my

ENT that same day. I sure hope yours doesn't make you wait too long.

Hang in there, it's very true the waiting is the hardest part.

Good Luck

Suggestions? Yeah. #1. Fire your doctors*, drop out of the study, and

forget about the numbers. #2. Get a copy of YOUR medical records. #3. Get a

rebounder and spend as much time daily on it as you can. #4. Start juicing.

Start learning about NATURAL HYGIENE.

What kind of liver cleanse did you do?

Well, my opinion, as the longest-living healthy survivor of HIV, and one who

has been orbserving hundreds of people for 20 years, and someone who has

helped scores of HIVictims and AIDS victims find their way back to health, is

that

anyone who continues to go to AIDS doctors and continues to monitor the

invalid surrogate markers, never recovers. They all get scared, go back on meds

and

usually die relatively quickly by that time and blame their death on the fact

that they stopped the drugs.

:

I don't know if this will help you but I empathize with your situation as

I am also going through the same. Just got off the drugs two weeks ago because

of severe neuropathy and deformation of the waistline. Unlike the 4 or 5 regular

posters to this site I will not tell you to just ignore your t-cell count as an

inaccurate and meaningless test. I stayed healthy for 15 years while my t-cells

hovered around 500. It's when they came all the way down to 58( verified by

numerous t-cell tests which came up with the same number) that I started to have

problems. As my prior posts have indicated I was in the hospital recently for 6

months with Pneumonia, encephalitis and severe dementia. Yes you certainly can

do more " reading " and confuse yourself even more. The reality is that you are

just going to have to rely on your own intuition and common sense.

Base your beliefs on real life experiences from as many people as you can

find who have them. Anyone can make claims and put forth convincing " evidence "

that supports their theories whether it's from the dissident side or the cdc's.

This statement may and will ruffle some feathers on this site, however;like I

said people who give advise without real life experience are only giving you

their opinion. It's up to you to decide which opinion is the one that makes more

sense to you than the others. Back to real life--yes I am also experiencing

twitching, painful nerve pulsations etc. These are starting to decrease as time

goes by. Unfortunately I believe the numbness in my feet caused by the drugs may

be permanent.-- They say you shouldn't be afraid and succumb to the " numbers

game " , well I'm scared as hell that I will end up back in the hospital

,arms tied to the bed screaming that they release me since I owned the hospital

and all the nurses will be fired immediately if they did not do what I said. Yea

those were the good old days . The nightmares I will carry with me for

the rest of my life(however long that will be).

Am I worried about the NUMBERS? You're damn right I am. Theres nothing

wrong with that . You have every right to believe that those numbers

mean something--but that's just MY opinion.Take it for what you think it's

worth. Feel free to write to me personally or just wait for my updates on this

site....Keep the faith since it seems that that's the only thing these

days you can trust..God's speed ...Mike

Mike,

That was very well said, lucid and without unneeded anger or angst. It's true

that

one must rely on both research, statistics, and people to make the decision they

think is best.

, there are many people on this list with many different experiences,

and

they're all meaningful. You have to do the research. You have to be confident

in

your own beliefs and in your understanding. As Ed says, if you're susceptible,

the

stress of being HIV positive alone can make you sick. I was at my sickest right

after

I was told I had a " life threatening disease " that would ostracise me from

social

contact and make me a veritable leper.

After I learned more, I realized that I was making myself sick. I took my

health into

my own hands for the most part, but I also found a good doctor who holds the

same

understanding I do. After ten years of fumbling allopathic doctors, messing

with my

system and making things worse and worse, leading to my positive test. I am

finally

fixing the real problem.

I have also made peace with death. I could die in a plane crash tomorrow for

all I

know. I don't feel the need to become a gunea pig to the Medical Industry in

order

to prolong my life, supposedly, but feel miserable.

Just study. Learn everything you can. Understanding the science of it can be

difficult, but take it a step at a time and ask questions. Be logical. Don't

go from

one story to the next and let it influence your logic. On one side, we have

Mike who

has suffered and done well on the drugs. On the other side we have Ed who has

suffered from the drugs and done wonderfully without. They are both just

stories.

They're important. But keep looking.

Make peace with yourself. Doubt and fear produces bad chemical reactions and

sickness.

It is ridiculous that I am this nervous for Ana's appointment today.

I am so afraid they are going to change their minds and not want to

start IGIV. She had a horrible night and morning so far. She hasn't

eaten in almost 24 hours now...wonder what is starting now. Her

appointment is at 130, at least they will be able to check her ears

etc. I'm sure everything will work out.

Hi DJ,

Sorry about your cholesteatoma recurring. You did not do anything wrong

!!-Even if just a few cells of the cholesteatoma remain in the ear,

they have a tendency to grow back. The doctors just don't get it all

the first time. Hang in there and hopefully your doctor will be able to

remove the rest of it in the next surgery.

Good luck

this problem occurred again. Is there any thing I should have or could

have done different to prevent this from happening to me again? I am

very nervous this time around. I feel as if I did something wrong that

Hi Desi,

Sounds fun to be jumping into both at once! Just forget your nervousness, it'll

be easy. :-)

Actually both cultures are pretty hardy and can take some abuse, but of course,

it is best if they don't need to go through that. Your times sound about right,

although, for the kefir, depending on how long of a trip they have had till they

got to your place, it might take a day or two till they are back to normal.

Don't be surprized if the first batch of kefir is a little thinner than the

rest.

The same for kt. Usually the first batch is a little different as the scoby

addapts to the new environment and such like. But it is pretty rare that it will

actually " die " unless you put it in hot water or something like that.

Hope all goes well,

Rodrick

Nervous

I finally found someone who can share with me and I am getting a scoby

AND milk kefir starter on Saturday and am very worried that I'll kill

them.

How long is it before they start doing something that I'll need to

begin " playing " with them? I mean I have directions for what to do

once they arrive but from then on, from what I've read, I believe the

kefir will start something in 24 hours and the scoby will maybe be

ready for something to be done in 2 weeks. Does that sound about right

if all is as it should be?

Thanks!

As Rodrick has already very nicely said:you can't really kill those

feisty Ks ;-)

Just give your mind to one of your cultures at a time and focus on what you

need to do. Kefir is easy-peasy: All you have to do is putting the grains

(preferably unrinsed) into some good milk (preferably full fat or at least

semi-skimmed). Can be raw, pasteurised or Ultra heated milk. It's the

Kefir grains that do the work making you the healthy yoghurty stuff by

eating the lactose in the milk. You do not heat the milk, just use it

as it comes out of the bottle/carton.

24 hrs at room temperature should do the trick. The separation of the milk

in curds and whey is completely normal and shows that it's time to taste

your Kefir. Then strain the kefir and place the grains into fresh milk.

Yes, right!

> if all is as it should be?

Yes, it does sound right, Desi. Fermentation time of your KT can vary

enormously, depending on temperature, season, and how your culture is

balanced. It may be that your first brew could take 2 weeks or even longer

to ferment. First brews are notorious for taking longer.

Also, invest in a packet of straws. A straw is a most useful utensil for

tasting your KT as it starts to smell slightly acidic. As long it is still

sweet, leave it brewing. The KT needs to have a pleasant acidity with just

an edge of sweetness. Sometimes it is bubbly, sometimes it is not. This does

not affect how healthy it is for you. It is the acidity in the brew which

is the active healthgiving ingredient, although the teas you use also

continue to bless you with antioxidants (anti-cancer property).

Follow your taste buds and do not allow yourself to get in a tizzy.

Kombucha and Kefir will bless you as you enjoy making them and drinking

them.

Be at peace! We are all learners together:-)

Hi,

I believe it is different for each person. The first couple of months it comes of pretty fast may 20 - 30 pounds depending on what you are eating and if you a doing any kind of exercise--I have been walking and now I am walking and swimming. Then after that it slows down and we all know that will happen. I am taking mine off slowly and thrilled. I am about 2 1/2 months out and have lost 40 pound with the sleeve. Now if I lose between 1 -2 pounds a week I am happy. I feel so much better and I feel healthy and that is what counts. I hope this was helpful.

That's good to hear. I'm hiding out from my daughter for a month after surgery and was concerned I'd come back 50 pounds less (am 186, would be thrilled to be 135). Even though I am telling her I'll be working my butt off and dieting, she'd never believe a dramatic loss in 1 mo. I was going to wear several layers of bulky clothing to hide the loss.

Hi,

There is no way to stop thoughts going through you head--you will be just fine. But, I will say relax a little and enjoy the ride you are about to start. Things will run smoothly. They are very warm, caring, kind, intelligent, people who are going to be taking care of you. The doctors (all 3) are brilliant, funny, loving, and so very caring. They want the best for you. They will be checking on you 3 or 4 times a day unlike anything you would ever experience in the US. The hospital is the cleanliest I have ever seen, they are cleaning 24 hours a day. The staff are so kind and caring. The pain level is very low and you will be up and walking around just a few hours after they bring you back to your room. When you are feel tired take a nap and rest, then get up and walk around a little.

Don't be surprised is Ernesto is late picking you up from the airport--this is very common, find a place to sit down in the baggage area when you can see people walking and he will show up maybe 1/2 hr late with a sign with your name on it. It is about a 2 hour ride back to the hospital from San Diego. It will go fast and you will have other people in the van who are going to have the same surgery too. Get to know them, make some new friends. You will go to the hospital and they will start right away with your medical tests. Once that is done they will take all of you to the hotel. If you get in a room and it smells like someone has smoked in it and you don't like it, ask the desk clerk to change rooms--more than one of us have done that. Go to dinner with some of the people that are having surgery--you will all be staying at the same place. It is an OK place and they have 4 different places to eat in the hotel ask at the desk what they have and where it is located.

They pick you up the next morning about 7:00 AM for surgery and take you back to the hospital. They will give you something to relax you--you never know who is going to be first, take a little nap and enjoy yourself. They have TV and there are quite a few stations for the US so you will have something to watch. They are nice private rooms--unpack a few things get ready for a 3 or 4 day stay.

I promise you that you will NEVER have any regrets, it is scary to take this first step, but there are so many of us out here who have been right where you are right now. Keep posting, and saying how your are feeling. Ask lots of questions and know that this is a great support group. This will be life changing and once you get through the 1st month which everyone admits was the worst, you will feel so much better. Each day will be fun, because for the first time in many years you are in control over your eating and your weight loss. And you will soon start looking for some different clothing to wear, because what you have is soooooooo baggy.

Hugs,

Suzanne

I know how you feel! I am having surgery in 4 days but, thanks the comments on this forum, I feel less nervous and apprehensive thank expected. Someone posted a list of what to bring. I'd add to that a gift for Ernesto, your driver ($20. pp round trip) and a cash gift for each of the nurses who assisted you.

Thank you, Suzanne, for the encouraging words to me, too. I can add that I visited the hospital a few months ago and was taken on a tour by Nina's mom. I can vouch for the 5* rating. The hotel has been there awhile but has always been considered one of the best. I did pack a Febreeze freshener just in case I get stuck with a smelly hotel room.

I was concerned about parking my car while at the hospital. Not only is it brand new but would also be loaded with stuff to go south to San Felipe after the surgery. I have Mexican insurance but how would I explain the loss of my car to my family since they don't even know I'm "stopping off" enroute...... Nina kindly said I could leave it at the hospital the entire time! They have a 24 hr. guard at the gate. No fear. I will be following Ernesto to the hotel on Mon. after initial tests and then the next day, he will drive to the hotel and escort me back. Now, that's service!!

What WLS are you having?? Believe me after the loan comes through, it will KILL you to wait that long I was approved in August and had to wait until January for new flex dollars, it was a LONG few months :) Weight loss depends on the type of surgery and how much you have to lose. Anyway around it, you will be glad you did it. I'm sure you have heard this before but don't tell anyone that you will regret telling. You can't undo who knows Believe me anyone that knows will be watching your every step (or should I say bite) It is a great idea to just be like ta-da, I lost weight :)Good luck and let us know if you have any questions.

Hey ,

So if you are following Ernesto you know how they drive in Mexico. He went down a lot of back streets when he took us to the hotel--and I will say it was a bit of an adventure riding with him. It wasn't too bad, because I already knew how crazy they drive in Mexico and I am sure you knew that too.

I will be thinking good thought for you on Tuesday and after it is over an done you will feel a lot less stress in your life.

Take care,

Suzanne
