I would say it en-cef-ah-low-pah-thee (although I often get en-cef-ah-lah-pah-thee coming out due to assimilation of the " ah " sound into the " low " syllable). The treatment of hepatic encephalopathy involves the removal of all drugs that require detoxification in the liver, e.g. Tylenol, and the reduction of the intake of protein. Then lactulose to neutralize ammonia buildup. Tim ltx 4/4/98 __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi, Darlene: For us Fibromites, brain fog is usually called Fibro Fog. Yes, it's very common for those with Fibro, CFS, MPS. It could be caused by a combination of things, including lack of sleep, stress, chemical imbalances, allergies, and a dozen other problems we go through. For me, it's at it's worst when I'm in a flare. I've learned a lot from my coach, Wood, who has helped me understand a lot about my body. Thanks to her I have been able to cope much better. One of the things she teaches is that your body believes what you say, so if you tell yourself you are miserable, the pain is 'killing you', etc., your body responds to that. I would suggest to all that we change our language to a more positve tone. One night this week I was awakened by the dog, the cat, the hubby, my bladder, the storm, the weather radio--it was just a sucky night. When morning came I was ready to do battle with anyone who spoke to me. Then I realized that I don't have to be frustrated and angry--two emotions that make my symptoms worse--I can relax and stop stressing over what has already happened. I couldn't change what happened the night before, and putting my body in the fight or flight mode doesn't help--ever--over such occurances. So, I took some deep breaths, thought positive thoughts, and went about the day. I kissed my hubby, petted the dog, and used ice packs, pain meds, and self-massage. I worked in a couple of naps too. The point is, the day could have been a lot worse if I had held on to anger and frustration, and my 'right to be grumpy'. Postive thinking/talking and deep breathing has helped me a lot, even with the brain fog that comes with fatigue, loss of sleep, etc. Vicki L ________________________________ To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2009 8:31:49 AM Subject: " Brain fog " I heard someone here speak of brain fog. Never heard the term before but I believe I have been living it. Never knew it went along with Fibro which I gather you are saying it does. I also have sleep apnea and depression and I actually was assuming it was due to these things (mostly the sleep apnea). Actually I think at least some of it is due to that. The brain fog and loss of cognitive functioning is terrible (as those who suffer from this know). I am so ashamed that the simplest of things now seem to befuddle me. I think some people think I am " playing dumb " and others think I am just plain stupid. Does almost everyone who has Fibro have the brain fog or do some not have it at all? Those who do have the brain fog do you have it all of the time or only sometimes? I am just now coming to terms with letting myself think that I do have Fibro. My Dr has suggested it before but I don't know as he has actually put it down as a diagnosis as I just kind of dismissed what he was saying about it as I didn't think I had it. Does CFS " turn into " Fibro? I know he mentioned something about that before and another Dr once mentioned PTSD. Are all of these things related? Sorry if someone has already addressed these issues. If so I did not see the post. Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yes me too. If I wanted to I could have a medicine cabinet full of pain killers, anti depressants and sleeping pills. And the God complex??? I¹ve seen that a few times also. I notice as I get older there are fewer of those though. I believe that¹s because we are becoming educated consumers. Mostly when I go and say I have fm they treat me as legit now. That¹s a relief from the old days of the attitude that you are a hypochondriac. > > > > > I have found some doctors with the god complex though.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 There is one book called " Back to Eden " that might be helpful. A lot of things are the result of food. I have been going through a lot of stuff recently. I fired my rheumatologist this week. mary For the Lord God helps Me; therefore have I not been ashamed or confounded.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 My favorite scripture right now is Revelation 21:2-5 right now. It is my hope and keeps me from despair. There WILL be an end to all our pain. So I don't mind if you get Biblical. The promises in that book are for certain. I need all the help I can get. The medical community has been useless. I need to trust the great and glorious physician in every are of my life. Thanks for the reminder.--mary 2And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, all arrayed like a bride beautified and adorned for her husband; 3Then I heard a mighty voice from the throne and I perceived its distinct words, saying, See! The abode of God is with men, and He will live (encamp, tent) among them; and they shall be His people, and God shall personally be with them and be their God.( 4God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither shall there be anguish (sorrow and mourning) nor grief nor pain any more, for the old conditions and the former order of things have passed away.© 5And He Who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new. Also He said, Record this, for these sayings are faithful (accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy) and true (genuine).(D) For the Lord God helps Me; therefore have I not been ashamed or confounded. Therefore have I set My face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 NO. MORE INSPIRATIONAL. That is so true. Sometimes I wonder if this is my path, so to speak, because while learning to deal with the pain I have become more compassionate, more knowledgable, more helpful and patient.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Good Evening, my friend, I have heard and seen, Rosemarie, that experiencing illness and pain opens our compassionate side in understanding the demise of others. It is said that is why God sent His Son as Man. So Jesus, then, could fully experience our demise and bring the law of love alive rather than the love of law into being. Through this experience and through this Love He brought Mercy and Salvation. So that is why we should not give up Hope...because it is through hope we will strive to better ourselves in this trial of pain. I truly believe it is a test of our Faith in Him and in our fellow man. In Him we learn the ability to ask for His help and to man the ability to accept it. Many are we who are so proud as to refuse the hand of charity and assistance from a stranger. It is many of us who have a hard time believing the care and knowledge of others. It is hard to trust those who are willing to share a topic so dear and personal as ours. We feel we own it and it is no one else's since each time we have shared we have been stomped, laughed, or abondoned by the very people we thought would be there for us. For more proof, just read about Joanne's neighbor who refused the knowledge and care of Joanne. Here in this site, I have learned to accept and believe and try out all that you and the group have to offer. Now if you could only see...even my husband is surprised and even frightened at my energy in my good days, HA. Before I trusted no one. I am a hermit by nature. But now I am conversing more(though it is by finger typing language) and trusting more. This is why I consider myself so blessed. All of us are here in this site for the reason to be healed and I believe that all this is divine directed. But that is my humble opinion...I hope I have not overly stretched the spiritual thing with the rest of my friends. If I have then, please, pardon me.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 I guess I am easily amused as well. I really don't need to stay at home all of the time because I can get depressed real easy. I force myself to do most everything because if I only did what I felt like doing I would stay in the bed at least 50% of the time. I'm sure because I force myself to function and don't give in most people probably think there's really nothing wrong with me. IF THEY ONLY KNEW. I wouldn't wish this disease on my worst enemy but there are a few people that I would like to get to experience it for about a month. Wouldn't that be an eye-opener?

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 I don't drink either. My first panic attack was at church while playing the piano so I have gotten out of church but am currently looking to find a new one. I am definitely an introvert as well. Until people get to know me most think that I think I am better than them. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have a tendency to think I don't measure up so I am usually quite and reserved.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 I am curious how many of us are introverts. Sorry you are not feeling well. I think each of us has to try different things and find what's best for us. Occasionally I have to take a pain pill but now I am on Coumadin so that is a no-no. Do you get a massage or have access to a hot tub? Both help me tremendously but I don't have the access to them as often as I need them. Also the TENS unit is a great help if specific spots are hurting.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I was told by some therapy professionals that staying ahead of the pain helps us to do the things that will help this disorder. Having said that I need to take my meds now. It isn't weakness in our character that we need medication to help handle the pain. If I don't take the meds I end up not functioning much at all, if I do take it then I can at least move some. No one would condemn a person for taking insulin, so I don't need to judge against myself for doing what I need to do. The action heroes in movies eventually do get medical care, we just don't see it on screen. If all I can do is get through the day without cratering then I seem like an introvert. I tend to not want to be around people when it's like that. But, I have found that if I can get where people are and perhaps do a bit of service for them - even if it's just be present or help in anyway I can - I feel like I have contributed to someone else's life. I may have to just find somewhere to walk to and even just read to somebody in a nursing home. I can't afford a car. I realized that other than getting the mail, I hadn't been out of my apartment for a week. I also can't find the phone numbers I need to call people so I can get to church today. That's a bummer. I'm doing something about that today. My love and prayers are with all of us.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Yes, I agree with the introvert theory. I am too. I read another theory about why socializing is so painful for many of us. Many of us may be what are called empaths. An empath is a person who has so much empathy for other people¹s pain that they inflow it into their bodies. They are too wide open energetically and other peoples energy hits them like a fire hose of water. Its like we are a radio and there are too many stations we can hear. Some people only hear their own channel. Some of us hear and feel other peoples pain too much, too loudly. So we stay home where it is quiet. If someone hurts, you hurt. If someone is in pain, you are in pain. It gets to be too much input. Too much energy slugging you and you don¹t know how to stop it. There are books on this. Just good empaths those of you who might feel this is true. There are solutions to it like learning to close your own energy door when you are around others. It doesn¹t mean you become cold and non sympathetics. It only means you protect you. You keep your energy in your space, and you put a boundary around it and keep others energy in their space. > > > > > I am not an hermit but i am highly sensitive.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I am so happy for you maria. You have found at least 3 sources of comfort. Your husband, this list of good friends and your faith. You are indeed lucky. That is the result of being proactive in your own life. It is also the result of being aware of those sources of comfort. Sometimes I miss seeing the comfort I could be reaping from a good friend. I get too self involved. So your email reminded me again to be aware of my sources of comfort and remember to draw from them. > > > > > Good Evening, my friend, > I have heard and seen, Rosemarie, that experiencing illness and pain opens our > compassionate side in understanding the demise of others. > It is said that is why God sent His Son as Man.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Yes Joanne it does. Most people live their life like that though and don't see it, and if you point it out, they dont' like it, but yes I can see your point, i was told I was co dependent and found out that it was because I was raised by alcoholics just thought i would say you are not alone. Joy ________________________________ To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Sunday, August 9, 2009 9:56:51 AM Subject: Re: Re: " Brain fog " I have been in therapy regarding my codependency for many years on and off. Most of my family are alcoholics and drug adicts and it was very difficult to ignore the drama that constantly went on around me. Now I only hang around with people who are recovering in therapy or are serene type personalities. I cannot cope with bitching, one up manship and back stabbing. I need friends who have joyful relationship with God if that makes sense Joanne > > From: Jill <gray04redyahoo (DOT) com <mailto:gray04red% 40yahoo.com> > > Subject: Re: " Brain fog " > To: fibromyalgiacured@ yahoogroups. com > <mailto:fibromyalgi acured%40yahoogr oups.com> > Date: Saturday, 8 August, 2009, 8:13 PM > > > > I call it being able to entertain myself.

I went on a low carb diet, and the coconut oil, for pain relief, but one of the first things I noticed was i was no loner as shy and withdrawn. Now I just need how to figure out a way to get some words in while other people are talking. Prozac used to help with my social anxiety, but I am certainly not on it now. c.
