Guest guest Posted February 7, 1999 Report Share Posted February 7, 1999 Fellow Chiarians, Some months ago we sent some information to a nursing student who was preparing to give a lecture on ACM. Her thankyou note is attached. Later, Bernie Re: thank you >Hi, i am a nursing student at Lawrence Memorial Hospital School of Nursing. >I'm sorry i don't have any attachments to send but i can tell you that my >presentation was well received by my instructors and classmates.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 1999 Report Share Posted September 16, 1999 Jalna - Don't feel bad about not being " upbeat " . We all have gone through that phase (and occasionally still do!) but with the determination I hear from your post you WILL get this under control!!! You will learn plenty from this list - everyone is great and encouraging - Rebekah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 1999 Report Share Posted September 16, 1999 Dear Jalna and other new members, The point of this list is to use our knowledge to help others who are newly " documented " cases. We also want to extend the hand of support to all on this list. Thank you is unnecessary. Just seeing how my own life has changed and my Bg levels have gone done from sometimes being over 400 to 117-140 without having to use " needles " I have learned many things from starting this list. I want to help others. --moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 1999 Report Share Posted September 16, 1999 It must be the engineer problem solver in me, I wasn't shocked or depressed at all. I read every book in the public library, and took corrective action. Testing helped me find my way. Sam dx 22 yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 17, 1999 Report Share Posted September 17, 1999 Great to have you Jalna. This is a great list.....you'll find so much help and encouragement. I just finished my classes last week and am trying to keep on this diet. I need to lose 60 pounds, but I've been told its possible if I just stay with this diet. E-mail me anytime.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hi Barb, Are you on anything for depression or anxiety ? You know that will also help the jitters when you are having a nic fit. I'm not sure but I think about everyone is on something to help the depression that befalls us at times. God Bless you with sweet breath today.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hey, again, Peggy: Yeah, I am on antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. I sometimes wonder if this Pulmonary Fibrosis isn't drug induced from these medications. I have been on them for about twenty-five years..
