Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 The DL Phenylalanine is totally worth trying for pain and for a feeling of overall well being. My husband took many anti depressants and none had worked for him. Right after taking the DLP, his depression disappeared. He takes 2 a day on an empty stomach. There does not seem to be any side effects at all. He has been taking it now for about 4 months. Aletha [low dose naltrexone] Cinder > Have you tried DL Phenylalanie?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Cinder,Yep I lost a lot... funny thing is, it sorta worked out. The house we are renting now is much bigger than the old one and less in rent than the mortgage was and about 30 years newer. Right now financially it's a huge struggle but I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I have always said that my poor husband had no idea (nor did I) that when he said "I Do" that it was for poorer, in sickness and for worse. The year we got married I made 72G on my own. I was the major breadwinner. To go from that to a little over a thousand a month sucks. And we went a year with no income from me at all. That's when it all hit. Treatment for me was as my doctor put it the roughest he has ever seen. But it shouldn't have worked either and it did. My new doctor put me on Anti-Depressants on Thursday. I haven't been on those in a very long time and I really needed them. New set of eyes on old problems and you get fixed... will wonders never cease. Now, granted, I've been awake for 22 hours as of now but I feel great! You read what went down on the other group. I don't need that. It was silly. By the way, you mentioned those stockings..... TEDS? What are they called? This doctor suggested I get some... Do I need a script for that or can I just go buy them? And if I can buy them where do they have them?Luv ya,TeriFrom: Cinder <datagrey@...> Sent: Sat, April 10, 2010 10:47:47 AMSubject: Re: [ ] More of HCV and the 'Dragon in our Heads' Boy I am starting to see what you mean about losing your stuff to this disease. Little by little this disease is using up our resourses. I hate this because we have worked, Rick worked so very hard to have a nice place for us and nice vehicles, nice motorcycles, toys, ect, lives. It feels like you give and give and give and they want more than you have just to hopefully give you a smitgion of hope of getting you better, or keeping you around a little longer for your family. I feel bad when I am the cause of it. Rick did not deserve this. I know he loves me but he did not need this. I sure love him for sticking with me on it all though. As far as the other group, that was yesterday. Live now, today. If it did not work yesterday then do it different today. That is the nice thing about life. Our higher power gives us a new day most of the time to improve our lives in over and over again. We cannot control how others reacted to us be can control how we react. We can control our actions then. Sometimes less is more. The reason I say less is more??? Well let me tell you. I do not get along with my Mom or Daughter. It really gets them because I don't fight with them. I don't bite into the fight when they try to start one. I let them wonder what the heck I am doing and thinking. It keeps them squirming actually. It also lets people see them acting a fool and not me. Even if I am the one that is right. I trust my friends will see the difference. They do believe me they do. I went for years with the Mom and situation and you know I have had a lot of people including a Police chief call me and tell me I was right they were sorry mom was so mean and wrong and nuts. They saw the truth. Sometimes it is just easier to let them discover it for themselves it keeps things less kotic. Spelling ugg. I hope you don't take it wrong me saying this. I tell my pts this stuff too. It sometimes helps them get along and not kill each other. lmao. On a lighter note. I slept like the dead last night. It was wonderful. I did not hear anything nor did I feel anything. I woke up and did not hurt for the first time in decades. Wow. The meds he got me so far are working. Wow. Holy cow I never thought I would find a way to not hurt at night. I like this. My husband is off on an adventure with a friend of his from Kentucky to go see some more Misslebases. I am going to take a long walk later maybe. I am going to do a bunch of baking for my husband for his week. We got water running now at the new home. We fought for five years to get water out there. Yesterday they finally flushed the lines and we have running water at our misslebase soon to be our home. So happy. My doc told me I was suppose to get some pressure socks. I went to several stores in town and found them. They only seem to come in larger sizes. Not my size. They are way too long for my foot. I guess will have to order them mail order. Well I hope you have a good day Teri I wish you lived closer so I would have a partner in crime to drag around with me lol.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 You can even get those ted hose at walmart or a drug store. Look in the diabetic clothing area. They should have pressure socks and ted hose and circulation socks. You want ted hose. If you go to a drug store they can help you find the right size for your legs. I knew they would want you in them. That is good. What did you do for a living? Wow. That was a good living. Well I should really be in bed. I am gonna swallow another pain pill and go to bed.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Cinder,I will look for the TED hose next week. This coming week is CRAZY. And in my formal pr-diagnosis life I was the Retention Supervisor for the Greater Chicago Market for a little cable company that is now called Comcast! Back then it was AT & T Broadband. I was middle-upper management and had a really decent base salary plus I got cash bonuses from HBO 4 times a year. In the years I worked there, the bonuses ranged from 100 bucks for the first one to 5,000. for the last one. My last year there I got over 20G in bonuses from HBO by way of American Express Gift Checks. They paid for my vacation one time just because they found out I was going. Picked up the entire tab for a week in Panama City Beach. LORD I MISS THAT JOB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Wow that sounds like a fab job. I was also a Computer Business office applications worker. I got my CBA. I worked in a Nursing office for awhile for Hospice on top of doing the Home health aiding. I don't miss that job. Miss the money though. This disease takes a lot from people but it also gives back something money can't buy.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 The money was amazing the job was horrible. Very stressful and I am not good at flying under the radar which you had to do over there.. If I find something going wrong, I fix it or bring it to the attention of someone who can... My son has worked for them since 1999 and is now making the same money I was. Unfortunately he hurt his arm and is on workman's comp now. He's not a happy camper, he is used to working every day and is so upset that he's hurt. He's making the kind of money I was with bonuses just on his normal pay. He's the top in his field. Can you tell I'm a proud mom? A very worried proud mom... that arm needs surgery.

I could not remember anything about what kind of cars or colors or length of the trailer. Just the man that was walking and what he was wearing and that there were a lot of people in the car pulling the trailer. My mind went blank. I have got zelch for short term memory. I hated calling the cops because of it. I get this brain fog crap and then try to tell my husband that and he gets pissed at me because I can't remember. He don't believe in brain fog and that it is hep C related or any of that crap. So I feel really fustrated. I told him okay then well I have bad memory no matter what. I can't remember I just woke up and took my dog to potty and wasn't very awake. I just stared at the guy and then ran in to grab my phone to call my husband. and the cops. I did not even think to grab my gun. My husband had taught me to grab it and have it in case and I did not do that. I just stood there and watched them drive on by. Crap I am dumb. My husband is worried about leaving me here alone now and he is worried about leaving the misslebase alone too. hm.He is on his way here now. I am glad. I just feel like crying. Just shook up. I will be okay though. Thanks love you bunches.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Thanks today is going much better so far. The husband is still here. He plans on going out to the misslebase in a littlewhile to work on it. He will spend the night there and then the week. I feel better. The police did come by and do drive bys twice last night way out here. That was a comfort. We went into town and on our way back to the farm we saw them drive by. Rick is feeling spread a little thin with taking care of both places and his job. I felt sorry for him last night. I hate asking him for anything. I hate to seem weak to him because he is under a lot of pressure to do so much. I know he does so much for us. I try to do most of what I can on my own. I just don't like to feel so alone always in a marriage. I know it will not always be this way but sometimes I can't wait. I want us to be together when I am scared or when I hurt or feel sick. His family is not usually good at comfort. They just plow on. Unless they are sick. But if it is someone else is sick that is different. But if he is sick the world revolves around him. Well gonna go lay down a little more. Love you sweetie. Today is a good day. Nothing bad happening. Yeah.

He is sounding sicker than I am right now. I hope I can stay well. I have my antibiotics. I am washing the heck out of everything. It isn't hard stuff though. Just cooking or pill sorting. He gets to being such a baby when sick. lol. Thanks I have another week off yeah. I need it. I hope everyone at work is well before I go back. I am going to get me some more masks to wear at work. Well guess kicking it for the night.

Take care of yourself, and if the job is gone there's something better waiting out there for you.Good to see you back, we missed you.SteveLife is much more fun when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party. Jimmy Buffett [ ] Finally home I have been sick a while with a cold or something. That something turned out to be pnemonia. Dr. sent me straight to the hospital. Just got out a little while ago. Glad to be home. I still have it but it is more under control. I can eat again now. Well not going to do much online tonight. I can't go back till after the doc appt and when the doc says so. May lose my job. Guess I will get a new one. Anyway hi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
