Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 Hi Jim, I do aerobics to help maintain my blood sugar. It really seems to help. I am not into the marshal arts at all. Don and Penguinie diabetic penguin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 Hi Jim. A hell of a lot of walking. Between three and six hours a day. Cheers. Hi I'm Jim in Detroit. I'm glad to be in this group. I had my first diagnosis of diabetes in 1976. I am still on medication at this point. I'm interest in whether you all do aerobics, TaiChi or other alternative ex exercises, or meditation to help in reducing your blood sugar?

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Cherie I think it best for you to support her decision as difficult it is and get rid of the animals that need care. If you can deal with a cat keep it. Children need oto spread there wings and become independent. As for yourself look for support and aid through the medical visisting nurses if you have them and try to get accessibility to transport services that are funded. My son moved away a year ago and at first it broke my heart and now I have adjusted and look forward to visits he is 1200 miles away. I rather enjoy the space. I am not single or incapable of doing anything for myself. I know everyone has there limitations but never loose sight of your having done the best you can in raising your daughter and hope that she will respond to you in a good way. ncourage her as you have done in bringing her up you will feel good about this decision. My thoughts and good wishes are with you.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Cherie, My heart goes out to you. I'm sorry you are feeling all alone. Its such an awful, painful and scary feeling. My daughter lives with me right now but also plans on moving however, I have a van with a lift for my wheelchair and some outside help for myself and chores. It isn't fair that she is leaving you with all the animals. Can you ask her to find good homes for them before she leaves. It sounds like they will be too much for you. Its also so hard to watch our child make (what we feel is) a mistake. None of her friends like her boyfriend and neither do you...unfortunately some kids learn the hard way, they just have to live through it to see that it was a mistake. I hope you can pull together some help before she leaves; that might help you feel less alone. Sue Mc Hi Hi everyone,As some of you know I'm single and my daughter is still living with me.There is a lot of things that I can't do now for myself and my daughterusually does them for me or helps me doing them.The other night she told me that as soon as she finishes her courses (she isdoing Office Admin) she will be looking for full time work.This is good.But she is planning to move out of home as soon as she gets employment. Itwouldn't be so bad but she is planning to move to another city.I will be on my own, big time.She considers that I can do my grocery shopping on-line, get the neighboursto collect my mail and put the garbage bins out for me and get outside helpfor transport.My daughter and I were always close even though there were problems but nowI feel as though I'm being put on the garbage heap.Her boyfriend moved to the other city a few weeks back that she is planningto move to. He has a lot to do with this and he and I do not get along,infact none of her friends get along with him either.I don't know how to deal with this at all.She always told me that when she moved out she would take most of theanimals with her. We have two cats, a dog and a bird. She told me that nowshe can't take them with her. She told me that she does not care what peoplethink she will not change her mind.I would not move to the city where she is moving to. I can move into smallerhousing with no gardens or yard to sit in but I love living here and theburden of moving would be too much for me not to mention the cost.She has done a good job of making me feel not wanted. I can't use publictransport anymore and need to use the wheelchair whenever leave the home.I'm feeling very lost at the moment.Cherie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wiped out because of the treatments. I spent yesterday in the Hospital because of another blood clot. I'm back on coumadin to see if I can tolerate it this time around. I don't know which is more painful - the neuropathy in my feet or the blood clot. Right now they are both a 9. Was put on pain meds, but had an allergic reaction. So now the only thing I can take for pain is tylenol #3. It doesn't cut it, but does make the pain just a little more bearable. The depression is still here, but not getting any worse thankfully. I've been just taking one day at a time and trying not to think about the future. My oldest son moved into an apartment on Sunday. He's sharing an apartment with his sponsor. He's been clean and sober for a year and we had a big party to celebrate. It's hard to believe that it's been a year already. How time flies. Need to go as I'm typing this standing up leaning over the computer. I need to get off my feet. Talk to you later. Hugs to all Diane - Minnesota --------------------------------- All-new Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hi , I was on Paxil for 7 years for anxiety/panic disorder and OCD. It helped me a lot for those things but did nothing for the sound sensitivity. It didn't make it worse... just no better. I now use xanax for my panic disorder as needed. It too helps me with my panic disorder but does nothing for the sound sensitivity. This seems to be the trend with most people who have tried meds. But, if you have other problems besides 4S like I did the medicine was worth it. I did have side effects with the main one being that I felt like a zombie all day. That is ultimately why I chose to go off the meds... I got tired of being tired. > > > > Hi.. I'm new here and amazed a group like this exists.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 My first trigger was my brother, not my father.. I remember as far back as 4 years old, screaming at him for breathing loud. Although my dad does eat louder than anyone else in the entire world, I don't remember getting that angry about it until I was a little older.  Of course, I might just not be remembering. I was really young.  andra Ruiz wrote:> > > > It's always intriguing to me to realize how many of us have our fathers > as our first and biggest triggers. I know that men tend to be a bit > more uncouth but why aren't our uncles or brothers our first triggers? > I think something tied to our fathers or hearing our fathers (maybe even > inside the womb?) may have affected our psyche? > > Is there anyone here with 4s that grew up with just their mother as a > single parent?> > Love,> > andra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having second thoughts already telling my brother, who I guess will be his typically dismissive self. Maybe some things are best kept to myself, until such time as further research is done on the condition. Sometimes I wonder if we all share a common ancestor with sensitive hearing. Maybe the result of being clubbed on the head one too many times!! That reminds me, here's something interesting I was reading the other day (completely off topic, but good for a chuckle). Apparently in Neolithic Stone Age Briton you had a one in four chance of being mugged (or hit over the head) by your fellow caveman, and then a one in fifty chance of dying from the blow. How do they know this? From the large number of skulls dating from that era, with fractures on the left hand side, indicating they were bopped by a right handed caveman. Obviously those people had very little time for pleasantries, and zero idea of conflict resolution. A quick BOOM over the head and the problem was solved. Could those days have been the beginnning of 4S?? I mean, the table manners back then can't have been all that great.

It has really helped to find out one is not alone with this bizarre "gift." Kind of liberating in a way. I had only told one friend in all these years, and she thought it was just totally strange until I mentioned this entire group with almost the exact symptoms. Perhaps we were born to be guards to protect the clan eons ago. A solitary lifestyle where hearing sounds could save lives! Yeah, dream on. Anyway, Adrienne, you're lucky to have her for a daughter, but I'm sure your hands are full! What a challenge. I've tried to make a very slight entry in telling my family, but my mother is also extremely judgemental and critical also, so it was only met with disgust, her usual response. My brother and nephew just kind of looked at me like a zoo creature being studied. Oh, well, it was a start. And yet we trudge on. Re: hi Hi,Welcome to the group. Your are definitely not alone.. I suffer just by thinkingabout when I need to travel, being in training/classroom for long hours (like youmentioned) with gum chewers. If we only could put a mirror in front of them, sothey can take a look at themselves chewing :)I have a hard time going to the movies, I can only survive with earplugs, I canhear the movie and n ot hear the offender,20however just like last week, therewere many gum offenders and I was about to walk out in the middle of the movie,when I found a good spot. We all have to make these adjustments. My parentsdon't live near by, however when I call and they mention that they are about toeat, I panick and say good bye as quickly as possible My dad is a bigtrigger for me..Hang in there!Walesk a>> Hi..
