UPDATE

[Guest guest]

Melinda, Please take care of yourself!! Are you still coughing alot? When is your appointment with the allergist? Ask them to test you for asthma too. You have the same symptoms my mom had several years ago. She had quite a few rounds of antibiotics with no relief. Finally she went to an asthma-allergy specialist & she was having an acute asthma attack. Good luck to you & I do hope & pray for relief & rest for you. Take care!

Love,

Barb

Re: Update

Well, Ive done TWO rounds of Anti biotics. and Nada. Just finished up the last batch on Sunday. No change. Got 7 hours of sleep last night, Thanks to one of the very last ( only one left) Vicodin i have. :(But thank god i got the sleep as i ran around all day with my mother and sister. My sister bought a house. ( yes im jelious) Her hubby managed to get disability. Burns me up that he managed to get 10 times what i get cause he has worked more. ya he worked more cause he didnt even bother to finish high school, let alone go to any college or even a trade school. SO while i could have been working instead i was going to school and then Cosmetology school. I did have a part time job and helped my parents with their business. SO its not like i wasnt doing anything. But Now IM paying for finishing HS and Going to a trade school. Guess i should have not bothered and just worked instead. Nice. yep im grouchy. lolOh well thats it. Hope all is as well as can be. :)MelindaAt 02:10 PM 2/28/01 +1100, you wrote:

Dear , GREAT post as always thank you,

Dear ne,

I am so glad that you wrote to us about this. Am also glad to hear that is doing better.

Darling at least they found a brain! *hug*

You must be really scared! Did they tell you what sort of abnormalities were found or send you to a neuro?

I know how scary it is - I too have neurological problems. However is there is an abnormality with your pituitary gland then your thyroid will go a tad mad.

I dont know if you know but the pituitary is situated right in the middle of your brain. It controls all hormone and glandular function. It controls your thyroid. When the signals go skew then you get abnormal thyroids.

This usually results in you developing hyperthyroidism. You feel sluggish, tired, put on weight, get moody etc. Just like any other AI disease! Left untreated it turns into Hashimotos disease. This is treatable with hormone replacement and thyroid meds. This also can develop nodules on it (my mother has this) which may or may not grow. Usually they grow slowly. (Assuming this is Hashimotos) But sometimes they get big and you need to have it removed. Again, they will treat you with replacement medications - so hopefully your thyroid will be able to get fixed up!

Dusty (on this list) has growths on her thyroid too so maybe she can shed more light on this. I dont know much more then this I am afraid.

At least you dont have to wait too long for the biopsy. I would be really scared if I had to have a biopsy done. - How are you holding up hon?

I dont think that smoking causes these sort of problems. We all did alot of research on pituitary when it was first thought that I had a tumour. And we searched high and dry!! There was no mention of a connection with this and smoking. I dont know about the thyroid though. Normally it is lungs and throat - never heard of smoking affecting your thyroid - but there is alot I've never heard of!!

Perhaps this will make you quit and you can become chockie addicts like the rest of us! LOL...

Hang in there ne, and keep us updated. If you get scared or just need a friend send an email. Someone is always around it seems. If you have IRC or ICQ running you can always meet someone in the chat rooms or organise a chat. You are not alone hon, we are right here with you.

*HUGS*

Love Aisha.

[Guest guest]

Ahhhhhhh ne!!!!!!!

"Another day in the life of... LOL"

Sure does get like that hey! LOL.... *HUGS TO YA BABE!*

Let us know what happens next! eek!

Love Aisha.

[Guest guest]

Dearest Leigh,

Congrats on your exceptional mark! Well done!

Hon. You need to slow down!!

Let him romance you - take time to get to know him. He is not a bad guy - he is trying to do what is right also.

You are very wise not to enter into marriage before you know him. So take all the time in the world to get to know him.

I think you are both sweet. I have no doubt all will be fine. Just take your time, dont get angry at him cause he cares.

He is romancing you which is so sweet. Enjoy it sweet one. You deserve it.

Be gentle on yourself.

Love Aisha.

[Guest guest]

Hello Leigh

Man when things happen to you they really go full on, what a time you are

having!!!

Firsrly congrats on the A way to go Yippee!!!!!!!

Then a dress just falls into your lap and a perfect one too.

Heh things are going good you should put in for lotto!!!

Good luck with the interview, sock it to them, you are on a roll!!!

I am so happy that Brain took the news so well man that would have been one

nervous moment!!

I think you are being so sensible about this whole thing, IMHO you need to

take things one step at a time. It is great the guy didn't run a mile at the

news and wants to be part of it all but it would be wrong to get hitched for

the wrong reasons, you relly need to spend lots of time together first and

see how it goes.

I guess he see it as his responsibility to care for you and the bubs now and

maybe he has been brought up that way. That is not a bad thing you just have

to explain that things are going so fast etc. You guys just need to talk and

then talk more. He sounds like he cares, and I guess it is obvious to

expect some rough times ahead, getting to know each other and all that has

happened and you are both in shok. So just hang in there and tell each other

how you feel and take little steps!!!

Have you been to the doc yet? Please go, I lost a baby last year and I

really want you to look after yourself. If you need time out, take time out

you have to put your health first.

Wish I could give you a big hug, have you told anyone else the news yet? How

did they react? Have you got support? Oh so many questions?

Take care and remmeber we are all here and care

Lots of love

Hi ,

I will get back to you in more detail tomorrow - I'm a tad bombed today.

"We drew fungal cultures on Friday, haven't heard about those yet. Does anyone know how long it takes for fungal/ yeast cultures to grow?"

It takes about 4-5 days.

Love and hugs to you. Am thinking of you and will answer your post another day... Give that matty a huggle for me.

Aisha.

Dear ,

Big hugs to you sweet one....

I am really sorry to hear that Matty is not doing well. Have you been able

to control the vomiting? Poor little thing.

Hon, what is a " po " med?

What is Reglan?

Oh my. you are all going through so much. I wish there were

more I could do to help you. This must be so hard on you. How are you coping

sweet one?

Have you got the fungal cultures back yet?

Thinking of you . Give that Matty a huggle from cyber Aunty isha...If

there is anything I can do please tell me.

Hi Aisha,

Sorry!! I get so used to the " medspeak " that I forget that not

everyone uses it everyday!! LOL

A " po " med is one that is taken orally or by g-tube. Stands for " per

oral " if I remember correctly. Reglan is a motility drug, one that in

theory helps the digestive system to move a little faster and work a

little better. has delayed stomach emptying, (his stomach

empties much slower than it should), which in turn causes the reflux

(stomach acid and contents washing up into his esophagus constantly),

which in turn causes the vomiting, which in turn causes the bleeding in

the esophagus. Did that make any kind of twisted sense?? LOL

So the thinking was, that if we could use Reglan to break the cycle,

then maybe all of these symptoms would be more controlled.

Unfortunately, Reglan is a crappy drug for kids like .

Reglan causes Parkinsonian symptoms in kids with mitochondrial disorders

(that is, symptoms of Parkinson's disease, which is now thought to be a

mito disorder!!). It will cause all of the neurological indications,

such as tongue thrusting, tremor, etc. In effect, it gives the kids an

artificial case of Parkinson's for as long as they take the drug. So you

can see why I said " no way " .

is still vomiting a lot...we are switching him back to getting

Kytril (an anti-nausea drug) IV, because he was throwing it up, and what

good will it do him then?? LOL Hopefully, it will help to get it IV, and

will help him to keep his other oral meds down.

No word on the fungal cultures yet...YEAH!! They sometimes can take a

couple of weeks or more to grow, I think our hospital keeps the culture

for 4 weeks. But it's when they grow quickly that you are really in

trouble, so 5 days later, I'm starting to feel a little easier about it.

And ya know, if you really wanted to help me....

I have this killer itch right in the middle of my back, and I just

can't reach it....

AAAHHHH. Thanks. You're a gem. :-)

hugs,

Don't get me wrong.... but what is the astronaut disguise? My friends keep

threatening to get me a NASA suit. And with as wicked as my allergies have been

Do they call it C-Pap? Or something like that? I know what that is! I have

oxygen too, and when my allergies are set off I wear it to bed, and everywhere

else too!

Thanks! Hope you are doing okay!

Good one Sophia. They really know their stuff. I remember seeing one and he was so booked up I had to wait 3 months or something also. But he really knew his stuff. Is he a microbiologist?

Hang in there babe and keep us informed!

"hi all- haven't posted for awhile so thought I'd bore you.lol"

OMG - your life is like a soap opera! Its never boring!

"The new hepatologist thet I went to in Atlanta finally sent a report to my GP. He thinks that not only do I have auto-immune hepatitis, but I also have hepatitis C. He's weaning me off the Prednisone & putting me on Imuran."

Ooooooooooh Do you know about Imuran? It takes 3 months to build up in your system. (I know I'm on it lol) And you have to have blood tests every 6 weeks (I know I have to! lol) Want me to continue! LOL ...

It may make you feel like you have a low grade flu but after awhile you get used to it. It has far less side effects then the dreaded *p* but its still an immune supressant so no surgery etc

"My legs are really swollen, the left one is weeping"

Are they doing anything about that?

LOL at your little boy! Do you have all the kids back with you now? How are the 13 cats! LOL

Love ya babe!

[Guest guest]

Suzanne,

He " thinks " you have Hepatitis C? Hasn't he given you a blood test to confirm

it? Hep.C is serious business. It's only really been recognized by the medical

community in the past decade. I remember I was working in the doc's office, and

getting a notice from the

Health Dept and Hep C. That seems like it was around 1992, before that it was

mainly Hep A, Hep B, HIV,..........now Hep C. The good news from our standpoint

in the doctors office was, that as serious as Hep C is, the marriage partners,

or significant others don't

seem to come up with it. Everyone initially was saying it was passed through

intercourse, but out of the five Hep C patients we had, all married a

considerable length of time, not one of the spouses had it. We had a wonderful

and world famous hemotologist here,

Dr.Gish, actually in the Bay Area. If anyone can help he could. Since I haven't

worked in the past four yrs, I'm not sure where he is, but I heard he was in

Oregon, I can confirm that if anyone need the information.

Let me know if I can be of any help.

Hugs,

in Sonora, Calif

Suzanne,

He " thinks " you have Hepatitis C? Hasn't he given you a blood test to

confirm it? Hep.C is serious business. It's only really been recognized by

the medical community in the past decade. I remember I was working in the

doc's office, and getting a notice from the

Health Dept and Hep C. That seems like it was around 1992, before that it

was mainly Hep A, Hep B, HIV,..........now Hep C. The good news from our

standpoint in the doctors office was, that as serious as Hep C is, the

marriage partners, or significant others don't

seem to come up with it. Everyone initially was saying it was passed through

intercourse, but out of the five Hep C patients we had, all married a

considerable length of time, not one of the spouses had it. We had a

wonderful and world famous hemotologist here,

Dr.Gish, actually in the Bay Area. If anyone can help he could. Since I

haven't worked in the past four yrs, I'm not sure where he is, but I heard

he was in Oregon, I can confirm that if anyone need the information.

Let me know if I can be of any help.

Hugs,

in Sonora, Calif

Hi ne

Nice to hear from you. Glad that you don't have hepatitis, but what about all your symptoms? Glad you saw someone who seems to know what he is talking about!!!!!!!

Bet you are pleased to be coming of the Prednisone, is it a hard one to come off?

Heh you never have to unsub, that would be awful!!!!!!!!!

I lasted almost a week without e-mail and man it seemed a long time!!!!!!!!!!!

Take care

Lots of love

Well, Ive done TWO rounds of Anti biotics. and Nada. Just finished up the

last batch on Sunday. No change. Got 7 hours of sleep last night, Thanks

to one of the very last ( only one left) Vicodin i have.

But thank god i got the sleep as i ran around all day with my mother and

sister.

My sister bought a house. ( yes im jelious) Her hubby managed to get

disability. Burns me up that he managed to get 10 times what i get cause

he has worked more. ya he worked more cause he didnt even bother to

finish high school, let alone go to any college or even a trade school.

SO while i could have been working instead i was going to school and then

Cosmetology school. I did have a part time job and helped my parents with

their business. SO its not like i wasnt doing anything. But Now IM paying

for finishing HS and Going to a trade school. Guess i should have not

bothered and just worked instead. Nice. yep im grouchy. lol

Oh well thats it. Hope all is as well as can be.

do anything for you.

Thanks Kristy, Right back at ya babe.

Im just taking it one day at a time, and doing alot of thinking and praying

too. Its funny that when i am in a sick part of my life ( well other than

the other stuff heeh) this is when i start to get a yearning for a child.

Sometimes i feel like i might burst if i dont have a baby soon. I feel like

something is missing. Im very anxious to have a baby. So soon im hoping to

approach my Dr. yet again about this and see if we can begin to move my

body into that direction. If i werent so darn fat i wouldnt have so many

considerations as to having a child. Hmm, i hate being fat. but least im

kinda pretty.

Melinda,

I'm doing my best to take things one day at a time too. I

wish it were the 8th now but it's not so I have to keep

waiting some more. At least Aisha's helping me count the

days. Interested in helping out? The more that are

counting the merrier. lol
