Guest guest Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Thanks for the info. We have been avoiding MSG because it is on Dr. Shaw's list of no-nos. I did not know why. With the restrictive diet we're on (GFCFYFSF Corn-free), it is easy to slip if you don't have a reason/haven't seen a reaction to the food. Laurie > Dear List, > I am at the present moment fuming over an amino acid test taken when my son was 6.I was told the test was normal but after reading some info on another one of my lists ,I just checked his glutamic acid levels. They are sky high!!!!!!!Glutamic acid is what is in msg but did anybody bother to tell me that!Evidently msg can cause all kinds of brain lesions and central nervous system problems. Well helllllllloooooo......not one doctor I talked to at one of the most prestigious hospitals in the world(mass general) bothered to tell me that processed foods have msg in them,thats what the monosodium glutamate is on the packages.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 , if you haven't seen this site take a look. MSG is in the MMR and the CP Vaccine. http://www.truthinlabeling.org/ > Dear List, > I am at the present moment fuming over an amino acid test taken when my son was 6.I was told the test was normal but after reading some info on another one of my lists ,I just checked his glutamic acid levels.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 , I'm so sorry your mother is treating you this way! . . .. Sometimes we have to go to great pains to avoid toxic people. It sounds like your mother is too toxic for you right now. I'm dealing with a family situation too. Mentally, I've decided to put the relationship on a shelf and not give it energy. Maybe someday things will change, but I have to accept things are the way they are. Trying to maintain this relationship would cost me more than I can afford to give it mentally or physically. I really do understand! Hopefully your mother will understand one day! . . . And if she doesn't, you'll have your life back anyway!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Hi , I am so sorry you just lost your grandmother and are now going through this crap with your mom. People who have never been sick don’t understand what it is like to be sick and have to fight to regain your health. My family was never rude to me, as your mom was, but they did think I was crazy. I was always being diagnosed with new problems and never feeling well. They believe me now that I have regained my health. Your mom is wrong, you do need to let illness prevent you from doing other things. You NEED to take care of your body. Your getting well will be your best revenge! Kenda I just need to write some of my anger out to get rid of it! This past weekend was my grandmothers funeral out in CA. (I am in Ohio) I was supposed to go, but my car broke down (expensively!) 2 days before and I had to refund my plane tickets to fix the car. I was heartbroken and spent 2 days in tears. My mother flipped out on me, not because I was missing the funeral, but because of having a car emergency. She then proceeded to write me a letter, which I received today, going on and on about how I can't continue to let illness prevent me from doing what I need to do to take care of my obligations. UGH!!!!! Have any of you had to deal with this? She has never once believed that I have a real illness and she has never once offered sympathy, comfort, or assistance in any way. But she sure as Hades takes every chance she gets to put me down and tell me that I need to " get over it " and stop " playing sick " . I wish I could force her to read all of your stories, to make her hear the truth and know that it is NOT in my head! But there is no point. My illness is seen as nothing more than a burden, which is crazy because I live 2500 miles away and ask her for nothing! I'm so upset that I want to just end my relationship with her entirely! I don't need this! Not now when I am finally on my way to getting healthy.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Thank you! I think you're right. Simply being healthy will prove to everyone that I wasn't crazy and lazy! I am so sick of being accused of laziness!!!!!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 , Everyone needs to vent at times...we all understand that...thanks for sharing...that's the marvel of this group. You will be needing all the positive energy you can muster right now...just mentally wish your mother well and then stay clear mentally and physically until you are better and stronger.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 It has worked wonders for me. I am healthier than all of them now and you will be too! You aren’t lazy and there’s one thing you have to know and that is to take care of yourself. Whenever I am sick, I rest and take care of myself. I don’t believe in pushing myself to get everything done when I’m sick. You need to have compassion and care for your body, it’s the only one you get. Kenda Thank you! I think you're right. Simply being healthy will prove to everyone that I wasn't crazy and lazy! I am so sick of being accused of laziness!!!!!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 - I can totally identify with you. My mother doesn't believe me either. She thinks I was totally nuts to get my implants out and she and my sisters always think of another reason for just about every symptom I have ever had. I just don't talk about it anymore. Some people have closed minds. It sure sounds like a stressful situation. I pray that you and your mom get past this difficult time and I bet eventually you will. It is awful to not be supported- -especially by your mom--but I always believe that it is possible to restore relationships. My mother in law hasn't spoken to her oldest daughter for over 15 years now. I am absolutely sure that they will die estranged. Plus they have caused much grief to the rest of the family with their rift. I think praying for your relationship and just giving the situation to God everytime she is offensive is one way to find peace. I think once again of the Serenity Prayer " God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
