Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Thanks for the explanation. So glad you are feeling better! Hope it lasts! Courtenay. >>Seems that hypos don't get as much oxygen as regular people. Do you know if that's true?<< From my own experiences I would say it is true, and I have read that before, but can't remember where. It seems like the cells are starved for oxygen and that is one of the causes for the cellular damage that hypo causes. I know this is the most dramatic improvement I have had in over a year, but I am edging up very slowly now as I am at such a high level of meds. I really feel when a person needs this many meds as I seem to that there has been a lot of damage done to the body and it will just take a LONG time to heal, so I could overshoot my good level thinking it was hypo when it just has not had a chance to get better... make sense? I know one thing... I slept like a rock last night and I woke up early this morning raring to go. I feel GREAT this morning..

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Is that why I feel like someone just scraped me off the bottom of their shoe? Seriously, I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired. This has been a really bad couple of weeks for me. Best-- Courtenay. Nothing in hypo is metabolized correctly, including oxygen, which is our life in our bodies. It's sort of like being slowly smothered because the tools are just too slow and weak to do the job.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I seee said the blind man. Actually, Jan puts up with my Louisiana carcass so if Duh-bya executes you all for byin them illicit overseas drugs, like Armour and cortisone, there'll be someone left over here in Lousyana to 'splain about ya'lls girly demise. I'm about 17 miles south of Arkansas, norht of Ruston, LA. I'm originally from Shreveport, but after my father died, my mom bouhgt the house she was born in and moved over here. A few years later she got really debilitated and I began coming over to help her. And being I was already dead (forty year old men should know better than to marry 20 yr old sexually molested senator's daughters), it became my job. It just progressed until it was feedin tubes, and diaper changin and catheters and oxygen and ventilators and turning every two hours and bed sores and and .... elderly stuff infinity, dig? I was the first child, she'd spent yrears tryin to get pregnant after WWII and six days before she was getting a little girl from adoption she showed up pregnant with me (and ended up with 3 boys?), so we were always close because of that. I think? So it's over and I'm doling out her estate and executor'in her will, etc.. Just need someone to buy this old house SO I CAN RUN AWAY! Far away. Anyway, that's the heads up on Me.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 You and my husband are in the same boat, except replace house with " upscale mobile home " and replace north of Ruston, LA, with Los Angeles. He actually had to fly back and forth to take care of his ailing stepfather, and his mother passed away very suddenly six months before that while we were on our honeymoon. Wow. You must be tired. I hope it sells soon. Best wishes-- Courtenay. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 this is wonderful news and I hope you can get in soon. Melt Good News! I have a very dear friend who goes every Monday for lab appts with this doctor. She has put in quite a few words for me and took a list of my symptoms with her today to give to the doctor. She dropped the list off this morning with a nurse who called her back this afternoon around 5. He had shown my symptoms to the doctor who said that he can definitely help me and will see me.
