Dear Dr. Gravitz,

Thank you so much for joining us. I am a psychiatric nurse; my 8-year

old son and I have OCD as well as TS, ADHD, major mood disorders, and

multiple medical problems. I try to post informational stuff to the

list when I find it. I am so glad that you will be available to offer

your invaluable expertise to this list.

Thanks again,

Fran

P.S. If you are using a Mac, I may be able to help you with computer

questions. Windows, I am less able to troubleshoot.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry, I haven't answered many posts. This pain for the last 4-6 weeks is

getting to me. I finally went off cipro (tooth infection) and back on

Zithromax. Saw Dr.J. today, he was not please that I was this sick again.

He is so funny, I asked him to please send my blood to BBI, he couldn't

remember where he put the stuff from the rep a year or so ago and he went to

find it. He comes back with his arms loaded and says, " Con, you gotta help

me do this "

So I spread everything out, figured out what I thought i needed, he drew the

blood, we figured out to send it and I took it all home to do it. Called FedX

and they were here inside 1/2 hour. Called BBI and had to make sure what

tests to check off, it is a big list. He just laughed, said it was the first

time he sent a patients blood home with them for them to send it to the lab.

LOL.

Anyway wanted to say hi, haven't been on the computer. it is so ^%$$%%$ hot

here and the computer is not in the airconditioned room.

I enjoyed all you e-mails and really appreciate all your informaiton. I am

going to wait for a cooler day to go to all the sites.

You guys are so wonderful to find all this information for me. Being the

secretary to the MI Lyme Disease Assoc, I need infor to pass out to all our

support group leaders.

so

Thanks to all of you for all your help.

I (we) could not do this job without each other. I know I couldn't do it

without all your help and support. You are my lifeline, especially when I

feel bad you guys are there.

Thanks again,

Connie, MI

Oh Yea I did do a good thing though this week. Today in 102 weather I

lectured three health classes on lyme. Went very well. On another day I

will scan a wonderful story for kids.

I was so tired, I left all my stuff there and walked out of the building.

Oh that is enough

Hugs,

Connie, MI

Do you get much support? Family? Friends?

LMAO... you are "practicing" to make babies huh.... *wink* good for you!! Hope that headache doesn't stop ya too much - but oh what a classic line!

Free lance desk top publisher... oh goodies.... someone I will know to help me get my book published *smile*

Welcome to the family Vicki. Please feel free to write or vent, get angry, curse, sware, hate everything whenever you need to. As Nerys says - tis better to express your emotions then bottle them up! We are here for you anytime!

Love Aisha.

Mother Hen no.1 and definite kitty lover.

Hey Vicki

Both..... and something else that for the life of me I cant remember what it is called. but, it is like Endo but, starts with an A.

Yep. Could it be:-

Adenomyosis (benign growths in the uterine walls) or Amenorrhea (This is an absence of periods.)

GREAT Leah!!!! Hey, I gotta tell ya, that this behavior is not unusual----at

least in my experience. My now 14 yo son (NDA) played T-ball when he was

little and used to do cartwheels out in left field!!! Once when the ice

cream truck came by, he dropped his glove and ran screaming... " Can I have

some Mom " . And the ultimate T-ball story I love is the time his team got

there and the other team didn't have enough players. Rather than forfeit the

game they asked the kids from n's team " Who wants to play for Orioles "

(the team they were playing). They ALL yelled and screamed raising their

hands and yelling " Me. Me. Me. " Coaches couldn't understand why the kids

were so eager to play for their rival team.......til after the game that

is........when the kids who played for the ORIOLES wanted to know when they

would get their OREOS!!!! LOLOLOL

Hi Rae Ann,

Welcome to the group...........sorry you and your husband have to deal with

this disease. I say you too.........because it sure sounds like you have

lyme to me!!!!...... This group does help one go through the

cycling.........lyme-aid folks are so sincere, comforting, supportive and

at your side.........when you are herxing, crying, or happy you are in

remission.......I wouldn't want to go through this disease without them.

They are all great people!

.............I for one believe (if you don't catch the disease very

early)..........as of right now.....treatment is trial error...........and I

mean it regarding all types of treatments..........abx, alternative,

traditional.........etc...........I really think you need to do a little of

everything..........to be able to live with this disease.......I for one

have tried different abx, different alternative and traditional

meds..........all of which I continue to do in some capacity, some more than

others.

Including psycho-therapy and meditation.

I hope you get to a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor quickly so you can start

treatment...........check out Art Doherty's sites.........they are

great.........but since you have done papers on Lyme, you are probably well

aware of what he has done and put out there for those afflicted with this

horrible disease............just in case.........check out this site....Hang

in there and start looking for a Dr........these sites will help you do

that..........Connie nwnj

Thank you for your response Connie--I am checking the sites now and

intend to pursue this as fast as I can. I want to try to get control

of this God awful disease---if that is what I may have--before it

becomes part of my everyday life. Bless you and all others who battle

this enemy :-)

connie i think that there are other doctors out there who want to learn more

about this disease such as mine we are learning a lot together he is behind

us 150% and never hesistates to call DR B and DR B is good at returning his

calls and yes he is being harrassed by the insurance comapny for my care

and they have told him to quit looking for lymes disease how does that hit

but he is standing tall with all of us patients that he has think he is up

to 22 patients now and my doc is young but is a fighter for us lymes

patients just thought i would fill ya in on that and i dont think my doc is

listed as a literate doc in our area.

Oh Helen! I am so glad that you are back! I know I am bad, my response is really slow....

I was just trying to find out what happened, and was asking the other moderators if there is anything we can do to get you to come back! Now I do not have to worry anymore!!!

Welcome welcome back! Miss you lots! The list is really different without you for a while.

Hi Colleen

I want to welcome you to the group. There are a lot of people here that have

a lot of information, and are willing to help whenever they can. I think

that you will find this a fun group to belong to after a while. If you have

read many of the posts here you can see that we discuss a very wide variety

of topics. I believe that it makes it much more enjoyable.

Let me introduce myself. I'm I started this group a while back when

the moderator of another group decided that he didn't like the direction it

was going . He just up and deleted the group leaving us hanging.

I contracted hepc through iv drug use in the early 70's while in the Army.

Have been on 2 rounds of treatment so far. The first time I became

undetectable, but relapsed. I haven't gotten the results from my last blood

work to know where I stand now.

[ ] Hello to All

> My name is Colleen, I was diagnosed in March with HepC and stage 4

chirrosis. I have started Tx with Peg Intron and so far so good, not as many

bad side effects as I had myself geared up for, but I am Just starting. This

desease stinks in the eyes of the world and I have run a across a few of

them. It used to bother me and I found it necessary to be sure and let them

know that I had a blood transfusion. All that's over now, I know better and

it's no ones business how anyone gets the virus. Still the lack of

compassion can be harmful in recovery. I hope we can all be instrumental in

educating our fellow man. Well not to preach, just to introduce, I need

people to talk with you know what we are all going thru!

Welcome Colleen, it has been my experience that the

beginning of treatment was the worst. Towards the end

I suffered mainly from fatigue and loss of focus

(commonly known as " the brain fog " ). I figured I

probably contracted hcv from drug use. I am not proud

of that, but I am not ashamed either. I do not use

" recreational " drugs or alcohol today. I have told the

people that needed to know and those close to me.

I know the feeling you have, I felt somehow " dirty "

when I first discovered my illness. There is a lot of

ignorance about hcv yet, but as more and more of us

are diagnosed I think that is getting better. I know

several people have asked me " isn't that what Naomi

Judd had? " then they seem to have a little

understanding of it.

Good luck with your treatment. I have recently

completed mine and am currently undetectable and

starting to feel much better. Again, welcome.

Hi again . I will say an extra prayer for your

results today. You've been through a lot, but seem to

take it very well. I didn't think I would have the

strength to go through the tx a 2nd time. Though now

that I know I have a 6 month breather, I might do it

again if I relapsed, but I am not going to think about

that too much yet. The plan is that I do not relapse!
