Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi Lynda, Good to hear from you. I am a new member. I do hope you recover and feel better soon. Think spring and that might make this time a bit more bearable. Glad to hear your EN did not flare up on top of everything else. Nadine P.

Sorry to go on so much but all this time being bad and stressed I have not had one flare up of en which is unusual I have had swelling in my legs and the odd lump which has not gone red, my tonsils are now up and the doctor says they are full of pus so again I am on yet another course of penacillin my fourth since the op. hope everyone is having a better time than me although I have not posted in a while I still read every email but have not replied to any as I have felt so rough spend half of my time in bed or laying down, hopefully this next lot of antibiotics will do the trick, hope everyone has a good day and good health to all Love The average US Credit Score is 675.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hi , What a nightmare, to say the very least. I am glad that they finally figured out what was wrong, and I hope that you are on a quick path to healing. I send prayers and well-wishes.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 thank you so much everyone, sorry I have taken so long to get back have been off looking up the info and links provided. There are never enough hours in the day. I have sent off for " clay bath " and " kids chelate " from a site in the US called " Even Better Now " . I dont know if anyone has used them they seem to be a very gentle way of chelating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
