Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 You might also want to go to and check all of your preferences to be sure you're not allowing them to sell your email address (or to send you stuff themselves). They have a habit of setting the " default " on accounts to allow such activities, you have to " opt out " in order to not get so much of that stuff. Someone else may have more specific information (like, exactly what areas to check), but you'll likely be able to find it yourself with some poking around. Virginia -----Original Message----- Tala Thanks for the warning! You know, I was getting these emails to increase the size of my penis.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 It would be more likely that there were already several family members with allergy problems, and the vaccination took place after. Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Heidi, Encourage your friend to eliminate dairy for a few weeks to see if there's a difference. My son had similar symptoms--plus ear infections--and taking him off dairy products took care of it. Many parents don't knwo that milk can cause congestion and asthma like symptoms. There is a TON of info online about it.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Heidi, Also consider environmental factors. A friend of mine had an adopted son and as a toddler they dealt with daily nebulizer treatments for over a year before they thought to consider mold. They had an addition to their house that was not done with permits (before they bought it), and it turns out it was full of some kind of mold. They remodeled their house and had the old addition removed and now he is fine without any medication. The addition had been his playroom! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 More information. West J Med 1987 Sep;147(3):341 Asthma and urticaria after hepatitis B vaccination. Lohiya G To the editor: In accordance with the recommendation of the Centers for Disease Control, 20ug of plasma-derived hepatitis B vaccine (HeptavaxB lot 2445H) was administered to a serosusceptible 31 year-old employee in a high risk occupation. Within 30 minutes generalized pruritus, dyspnea, urticaria, and infraorbital edema developed (THINK allergic shiners!!). Extensive expiratory rhonchi were present in both lungs. She was given 0.3ml epinephrine 1:1000 dilution subcutaneously. Her symptoms partially resolved, and the smae dose of epinephrine had to be repeated four hours later. She was prescribed diphenhydramine hydrochloride, 25 mg as needed, and hydroxyzine hydrochloride, 25 mg at bedtime. This lead to significant relief the next day. The patient had a leukocyte count of 8500 per uL with 12 % eosinophils and raised total serum IgE level. On questioning, she revealed that she had experienced a similar but less severe reaction to the vaccine's first dose four weeks earlier, when dyspnea and generalized itching developed, which were relieved by an injection of diphenhydramine by her personal physician. She had totally forgotten the link between the vaccine and the reaction. She said she did not have other allergen exposures such as bee sting, new perfume, new clothes, chemical exposures or the like. The patient has not been given the third dose of vaccine. She has remained negative for Hepatitis B surface antibody and has not acquired the hepatitis B surface antibody or Hepatitis B core antibody (THE VACCINE DID NOT LEAD TO IMMUNITY). She had a history of bronchial asthma and allergy to sulfoamides but no history of atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, or uticaria. She had been assymptomatic for several days before both vaccine doses. HeptavaxB contains inactivated hepatitis B surface antigen, an alum adjuvant, and thimerosal, a preservative. Based on literature review, thimerosal was considered to be the inciting allergen in this case. Thimerosal has produced ocular allergy through contact lens solutions and eye creams as well as cutaneous and system allergy. Caution should be exercised in administering HeptavaxB to allergic to other vaccines or medicines containing thimerosal. Thimerosal is also present in the yeast derived hepatitis B vaccine (Recombivax- HB). My son has had Reactive Airways only four times in his life--after his3rd DPT and Hib at 7 mos, after his MMR and Hib at 17 months, after his DPT at 18 months, and after his DPT at 4 years. All four times the RAD was after a thimerosal containing shot. He does not have asthma. Another interesting thing to note is people with asthma are much more likely to have Glutathione s-transferases M1 and T1 null status. This same risk factor (null status for GSTM1 and GSTT1) seems to be related to thimerosal sensitivity, asthma, and neuropsychiatric disorders. As in the thimerosal studies the asthma study showed that it is very significant to have both GSTM1 and GSTT1 null status. Null status for both GSTM1 and GSTT1 is present in 57.9% of the people with asthma and only 4.7% of normal controls. Low glutathione and null status for GSTT1 and GSTM1 are also known to occur in inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's. I think that GSTT1 and GSTM1 null status might also be very important as a susceptibility factor in autism, but his dad and brother do. 1.Stroombergen MC, Waring RH.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Some of Kev's ideas were for bacterial or viral cleanup but we're not sure there is any. A gallon a day of juicing and the tea and olive leaf would be good. Fluid in lungs could have been more edema same as leg and ankle swelling. The pneumonia test was negative. When the legs swelled up, too, that confirmed the ankle swelling was not arthritis and to look for threats to liver and kidneys. -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Hi Mark, In the first few years of my achalasia I was in the same position and thought of suicide. I withdrew from everyone and everything until my folks and friends talked me into seeking help. That was 66 years ago and I am functioning quite well. While this is a terrible disease it is treatable. You must get help there are medicines to help with depression and counseling as well. Achalasia takes it's toll on ones psyche but you can turn it around. Please get some help!!!!! Keep posting here. F need help > This disease has taken its toll. I've just about had > enough.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 --- Mark, We--all of us here--understand how hard this is. Please, please, please seek help. I know how you feel--I was so depressed six months ago because I thought , " why me? " . I was tortured on a daily basis because my docs were taking too long to figure things--I have a husband, two kids, a dog, and an extended family and all the responsibilities that go with being a wife, parent, daughter, etc., Everyday I would beg God, " Please let me make it through this day... " I felt so alone. I'm sure my family was well meaning--is well meaning--but they never understood that every waking moment was about how to get the next bite down. I needed to nourish my body, but I hated the thought of eating. The constant throwing up, the acid that is/isn't acid, the mucus, the white foam--the misery that only people in internet space understood. " Please God, " I prayed one day, " Please help me because I can't take this anymore. " I lost 14 pounds within 3 months--I'm 5'6 " and weighed 120; I looked terrible. My friends at work thought I had dropped off the face of the earth because I refused to talk to anyone. I had three ER visits--one with an emergency scope. I lost my faith in medicine, and my depression became worse. I lost interest in everything, including living. I thought I would be better off dead--my family wouldn't be so stressed and worried and my kids--well..I don't know--I wasn't thinking straight...... The day I had had enough, I prayed hard and my prayers were answered. I made a decision to have the surgery and I never looked back. If I was going to make it through surgery, somehow I knew I would be better. I had my surgery, and thank God, it was--is the best decision I have ever made in my life. Mark, there is hope. Please don't give up. Please, don't give up. PLEASE MARK, DON'T GIVE UP............... Jo from Florida twoseknauf@... I had surgery on June 9, 2004.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Mark, it definitely is NOT normal to think about suicide on a daily basis. I wish I could give you a big ((((HUG)))) right now! I remember those days of when my thoughts and my actions centered around what my esophagus could and couldn't and might or might not do, and every single minute of every single day had to be planned accordingly, and I felt like my body was falling apart around me. Your wife is a smart lady -- the right counselor can make you feel SO much better than you do right now! (Sometimes you won't " fit " with a counselor due to differences in personality -- try a different one if by some chance you don't seem to click with the first one you try.) There is SO much more to life than an esophagus, or a job, or having the " right " house or wearing the " right " designer clothes or whatever other little thing society tells us we should/shouldn't do. I'm " just a little anal " <*cough**cough*> personality-wise, and not having ANY control over something that affects me 24/7/365 was incredibly wearing for me emotionally in addition to the physical stress of the whole ordeal. I think it's not at all unusual to have a depressive episode after enduring achalasia; in fact, many of us here have coped with depression on and off over the years of our achalasia. You're not alone, and you don't have to feel like things would be " better off " , because BELIEVE ME, things are NEVER better off for anyone left behind. If you won't do it for yourself, please do it for your wife and all of us here who consider you a " relative " in this whacky achalasia family of ours: pick up the phone and find a therapist (counselor, psychiatrist, or psychologist). I would try calling a cancer clinic for a referral to a mental health professional who is experienced in working with people who have endured a long-term health issue. You may be surprised to learn just how common feelings like yours are, and hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised that you don't have to feel like this -- there is help out there, and we're all " in here " supporting you as well. You don't need to hold it in any longer, Mark. We're all here with you! Debbi in Michigan > > > > > This disease has taken its toll. I've just about had > enough.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Mark, This is going to come as quite a supprise for a lot of people in this group. I have, in the past been dangerously close to where you are (some would say, i've even attempted, though I disagree). I don't want to lie to anyone by saying that there aren't days even now when I wish I had never been born. Sometimes I'm not sure whats worse, the ilnesses and injuries (which were not my fault), or the choices (and plain stupidity) that were all mine. I know one thing, even when I was at my worst, I would find one reason not to go through with it. I have over time adapted this theory (which I'll now call.... " Mike's One Day At A Time Theory " ) to help me through all the trials life still throws at me. Every day, I find a light. The smile on one of my Daughter's faces is always a good one. A particularly beautiful morning (the Sun ALWAYS cheers me up!). A rewarding hobby. A job well done. Helping someone. The beauty of a woman I have never seen before. These are just a small sampling of the things that make me thank God I am alive. Trust me, I still have REALLY BAD days, truth be told, today has been one of those. Those days, you just have to get through and know tomorrow, you WILL see your light again. I really hope I haven't gotten too mushy here for you, but this is how I cope. Your wife is obviously concerned, so you have a BIG plus there, you don't have to walk this road alone. Get some professional help, but remember (and I know a LOT of Psychologist's agree with this philosophy) mental healing must ultimately come from WITHIN. I didn't know you until now, but you have reached out for help, so I KNOW you have it within YOU to help yourself. Feel free to contact me ANY time Mark.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Mark wrote: > Do any > fellow achalasians think of suicide on a daily basis? Probably quite a few have gotten to that point. And some of them can tell you that at that point it doesn't just seem like achalasia is the only problem, it seems like all the goodness is gone from life. But they can also tell you that they are glad they got passed those days, and that you will be too, so just hang in there and get whatever you need to make it through. It may not seem like it can get better, but it can. People here can tell you about depression and sleepless nights and tired days. Ever wake in the middle of the night feeling like death itself was swallowing you up while you slept? People here can. However this is making you feel, you are not alone here. It isn't because everyone with achalasia is week minded, but it is an assault on our bodies and the way we want to live. It can rob us of pleasure in the simple act of eating. An assault on your body can reduce the amount of chemicals that keep us feeling well. Pleasure and satisfaction would tend to increase those chemicals, but we are robed of one of the basic sources. Add to that, stress, frustration and fear, and it is not surprising that we may need help to get those chemical up so we can deal with the feelings. Many people here can tell you that they got help and feel much better. Why delay. We know you don't want to die. You want to live and to live happier than you are now. That happier life is waiting for you! Belive it and get help getting it!!! notan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Dear Mark, Yes, I have experienced despondency, but no, it was not related to achalasia. It was an unplanned pregnancy. I sat on the couch and cried and cried. We were broke and this was baby number 4. All I could see was black misery. I prayed to be delivered from this cloud of despondency and the Lord answered somehow. I felt it lift off of me as if someone had pulled a heavy, dark blanket off of my fetally- positioned body. I will pray for your cloud to lift, too. May angels tug on your blanket of gloom. You take action and get some help, OK? Could you talk to your clergyman? Or a counselor? Life is difficult with achalasia, but not impossible or meaningless. Hang in there, baby. There has to be an answer out there for you. If you can't find it, I hope it finds you. Blessings, Martha V.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Mark, Depression among anyone with a chronic illness is much higher than the "normal" population. I would encourage you and your wife to go together to your family doctor and discuss this frankly with him/her. He/she should be able to refer you to someone who specializes in dealing with depression in chronically ill people. In addition he/she can help you "get over the hump" by trying an anti-depressant. This can certainly be a short-term thing (several months) until you are ready to wean off. I'm sorry your wife is calling you mentally ill, but it sounds like she wants you to get help and would support you in that. Plus it will help validate you when a doctor says that it is completely normal for you to be depressed. Please keep us posted. If you look back in the last week's posts, I did put some info in about seratonin/depression and the GI tract. I have some background as a counselor and also having struggled with depression myself this year, so I can certainly appreciate your struggles. Please keep us posted.

I just got back from Cleveland this afternoon and saw your post. I am so sorry to hear about your turn for the worse, Mark. I can certainly empathize with your feelings. I have been there, feeling so badly about the lack of quality of life this horrible swallowing problems inflicts on us. I hope you are able to talk to someone about your feelings, that is very important. It's also important to try to find something that you still enjoy that has nothing to do with food. Try spending time with a pet, outside in nature, watch a movie that makes you laugh. Were you going to have surgery at TCC? What happened to that? Dayton isn't that far from NKY? Want to meet some time and talk? Let me know- I hope you are feeling better by now. If not, email me at : JMB000001@... anytime!

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Mark - we all have really bad times, but when it gets to you as much as it has then you need professional help. Suicide is not the answer. You children and wife will be left scarred for life. Don't do it to them. You can get out of the pit with a little bit of help and a leg up. Please go - now - because the difference will be so rewarding and you have so much to gain. There is no shame in getting help and taking something to help you get to a point where you can cope again. Please go. I have been very close and sunk deep into that pit myself and know that it takes courage to go get help, but it was worth it. Lots of bear HUGS !!!

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Dear Art, Can you say what you mean when you say "I may have" ? Have you made that diagnosis yourself or have the Doctors said that your condition is not certain? You need to have at least a barium swallow test to show if food is moving into your stomach at a normal speed or otherwise. We would love to help you but will need a bit more information first. It doesn't need to be your life history (lol) Best Wishes and Welcome from Ann in England.>> hi> my name is art and i may have alchalasia. i live in tx and would ike to > talk to someone with this condition.
