Guest guest Posted April 25, 1997 Report Share Posted April 25, 1997 Hi Amy, Welcome to the group. I had both of my knees replaced last year due to RA. One of mine still gives me alot of grief, but the other one is completely pain free. I get a little stiffness but that's it. If only the rest of my body felt so good...... Oh well... I can't believe your job gave you so much grief. Of all people, I would think that they would be more understanding. That's OK, you'll find plenty of understanding here.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 1998 Report Share Posted October 22, 1998 Greetings Norm & Lois: Welcome, to you both. What part of British Columbia do you live in? I live in Windsor, Ontario. People who experience Chronic pain can sometimes think they have been given a kick in the pants. While this might be true I am of the belief that we are being tested to see what kind of people we can become. Since joining this list I have become in my eyes a much better person. My empathy has grown tremendously along with my will to try and help. I have always enjoyed helping but I find by being involved here, I can be more involved elsewhere. Blessings & Peace D.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 1998 Report Share Posted November 24, 1998 Hi Amy; after reading D.'s welcome message, I have nothing to add but my own welcome. As bad as the situation that brought you here is, I hope you find some peace and some ideas that will make the whole thing more bearable for you with our little group. And , there are no bears here and Ottawa is not considered Northern Ontario. We do have a lot of jackasses but we keep them all locked up on a hill ! ( For our US friends that might not know, I'm refering to Parliament Hill where we keep the jerks that run the country, much to our disgust I might add ) Mike > > From: Bamcbll@... > > Hello, everyone.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 1998 Report Share Posted November 24, 1998 Hi Amy, I would like to welcome you to the list too! I too am a Canadian and live in British Columbia. I live very close to the Canadian - American Border. I stay in the background mostly. Amongst other things I have Fibromyalgia. Needless to say I suffer with the fibro fog, but I also lose my brains most evenings. I read my e-mails I receive mostly in the evenings, when the house is quiet and I am only responsible for myself and since I can't sleep it is great, quiet entertainment. But and the big but, is that I have to read and reread the messages I send, because of the mispelling and so my friends tell me, is I leave out some words. They love it, they say it keeps them entertained trying to fill in some of the blanks or figure out what I was trying to say. Therefore, I don't send messages frequently. The others are right! This list has great people! Take Care, Lois Mike wrote: > > > > Hi Amy; > > after reading D.'s welcome message, I have nothing to add but my own > welcome.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 1998 Report Share Posted November 26, 1998 Hi Amy, This may be a little late but.......I think you have " stumled " into the right group. Since we all have a common ground ie. pain, we start from there and we then find that we have more than pain in common. I have found that no matter what these people in this group are always there for me. Welcome welcome. A new friend, Kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 I agree. It only makes sense. -- Hello Hi Everyone ,It has been awhile since I have posted in here. Hope to be back on aregular basis again.Breathing has been worse this past month or so. Could be due to the hightree pollen. Some or all of you may think I am crazy, but I will takemy chances. Has anyone of you ever heard of the term CHEMTRAILS ? Itseems when they spray overhead I have a hard time breathing the airoutside. I really believe that all of this spraying effects our lungs.Any takers on this subject ?Anneliese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Thanks Maree for the update on Ronnii - poor thing must be feeling yukky. Also the goss on the biggest loser - what a shame, he was a bit of a hunk too, but no way he could sustain that in the real world and we all know that stats show in excess of 95% of dieters will regain. So the bluddy band is Wal's option as Nic says (which I'm cranky with at the moment as you all know). At least I haven't gained. Anyway I have a question. Just spoke for the first time to a Melbourne colleague who was banded 20 months ago and has lost 74kgs. He talked about lots and he said that a litre of water can equal a kg (water loading). Is that right? I have always been a storer of water and worries me that I retain. Wondering - Cherie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Not only is our Wal a hunk, I understand he has a big hose too!!!! There is no way these guys could maintain what they were doing, if I remember rightly one of them said they were working out 8 hours a day in the lead up to the final weigh in. Impossible in the real world. So even if they can maintain they calorie intake they can't maintain the output via exercise. Regards the water I know that carrying 3litres of water when hiking is carrying 3kgs but don't know if this equates when consuming it.
