Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 I am also on several other list and have been in awe of the response to this horror. Many people from other countries writing to show their support and love it is awesome!! One country that has really seemed to be reaching out at least in the emails I have been reading has been people in Austria. It is sad that it takes something like this to bring people together but how awesome it is that we can support and encourage one another when it does happen. The Internet has really opened up a lot of doors for us to be get to know people who are not from our country and that we can see how we are all just humans. I for one really appreciate all the concern and caring that has been shown. I do have a sister in law close to DC and we have a good friend who lives in DC. Though neither of them would have been around the pentagon. I do not know anyone who lives in NY personally but my heart goes out to them. I lived in OK at the time of the bombing and the thing that really touched me the most was to see how people came together and worked so hard to help a stranger. To see people standing in the rain for hours to give blood. They even refused to go home when red cross tried to closed for the night and they ended up working late into the night as the people gave blood to help people that had never met. Sometimes I get frustrated with some of the things I see going on around me then something like this happens yes there are evil crazy people but it is in seeing the ones that are risking their own lives and the outpour of support and prayers that overwhelm me and make me see that there is more than just hope for our country and for others! blessing to you all!!

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hi Chris I see Dr. Carpenter with MeritCare Clinic. He's been great.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 , I'm sorry I missed this email and didn't respond earlier. Are you referring to helping digestion? I don't know-- I'm sure others have better suggestions than me. A good enzyme supplement, and lots of it, and some sort of intensive program with probiotics and only easy to digest foods, maybe some sort of fast, Primal Defense, and lots of it, etc. If you have any root canals get them taken care of, etc. Chris In a message dated 10/3/03 6:53:48 PM Eastern Daylight Time, STEVEN.CARROLL@... writes: > What do you suggest I about tied everything I can think of and more.? > > > Subject: Re: Fat soups help required > > > > Steve, > > > > While I think your first priority should be to treat your digestive > problems, > > if that in itself does not lead to sufficient weight gain, you might want > to > > try lifting weights and taking colostrum. > > ____ " What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature. Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the truth, and for those who do them wrong.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hi Chris: If you have been dx with RA, you have certainly come to the right place to talk with people who have the same illness. Pain in the feet is very common in RA, and there is no rhyme or reason as to where the RA will cause pain on any given day for me, but I do have pain in much more than just my feet. For me, the foot pain is in the tops of my feet and up into my ankles. I also take Mtx, but take all of mine at the same time once a week - do you know why your doctor has you spread out the dose? How was your RA dx? For me, it was with physical exam as well as lab work - RA factor was positive, and other labs were also indicative of RA. I was dx 6 years ago, and have been on many different meds - right now I am on Mtx, Enbrel, Mobic and Tramadol for it. Perhaps our moderators, or a, could better address the question as to why you have pain only in the bottoms of your feet. It does seem strange not to have pain in any other joints, and yet have been dx with RA? Anyway, welcome to the group.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I think it all depends on your level of illness. from what you've said before, you may have mcs. I would spend some time around woodstoves before you waste money on a project that you may find that you can not tolerate. most mcs'ers can't tolerate wood heat or smoke. if you have allergies or chronic sinusitis and multiple sensativitys 's way may not work for you. just my view. someone once said that you cant see what your mind cannot comprehind, that was a post of 's, yes I did go and read some of his past posts to try to understand where he was comeing from. well, I can only say that he doesn't see how different our illnesses are because he was not exposed to that level. hope it works out for you.good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
