Re: O.T. = HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! and supplements!

[Guest guest]

--- Thanks Jan, here's to a better new year for everyone.

I just wanted to mention the fact that I have been home since wed

and all my supplements are at Promis still, I have none here (

stupid me) anyway the nerve pain in my feet has been getting

progressively worse, so a certainty that the magnesium, gingko etc

works for me even if it doesnt take away the pain completely as I am

still living in flip flops!!

I cant wait for the pain to go so I can swim again, water increases

the nerve pain 100%

I am going back to Promis tomorrow afternoon, armed in battle to get

them to perscribe ALA.

Will try hard to keep in contact with you all.

Look after each other

God Bless each and everyone of you

Dear ,

You said:

** And the very same to you. :-)

** Well, this is certainly good news! Sometimes improvement happens so

gradually that it is difficult to recognize until something like this

occurs.

** Is this running water or even standing water (as in soaking your feet

or taking a tub bath)?

Does anyone else here experience this?

** You go, girl! Be a good advocate for your health. Don't let anyone

talk you into anything that doesn't feel right to you, and advocate

tirelessly for what you believe you need (including higher quality protein

in the vegetarian diet).

BTW, how's your blood sugar been while there?

What components of the program do you think are good for you?

Thanks for keeping us updated, . Our thuoghts and prayers are

with you daily. May the coming year be filled with inner peace, joy,

love, and opportunities for growth.

Hugs,

---Thanks , your support means the world to me.

Regarding the water, it doesnt seem to make a difference, running

water, or soaking the feet in water, hot all cold, it is all just

really painful.

Blood sugars, are permanantly on the lower side, usually 4.7 after 2

hrs. I really don't know where this diabetes diagonise comes from!!

I struggle going the 4 hrs with nothing to eat, as I often feel

weak, dizzy and sick. I guess for me my body doesn't enjoy being in

a range from 3.5 to 4.8!

The elements of the program that are good for me personally are

tricky to assess, I am gaining confidence I think. Regarding the

twelve step program, it seems that they are looking for something

sinister sometimes, they find it hard to accept that I just have

such a morbid fear over the low blood sugar and how weird it makes

me feel. I havent lost much weight at all, I am not surprised

really, I lost that stone and a half before i went in and to be

honest the food is lots of roast potatoes and things like that,

sometimes it is really rich food. I keep on about the protein, but

often they say it is my eating disorder talking, I try to stay calm

and explain that if as meat eaters they were just given potatoes and

veggies they would be unimpressed!

Regarding equilvalent veggie protein , what quantities

equal say a piece of chicken, in tofu, quorn, cheese etc?

They have strict rules about no bibles and things like that, which

we all find really odd, thats hard for me. But I know God is with

me.

Well, I guess thats it for now, will let you know about the ALA,

hoping if I can get the right doctor it will be OK, lots of them

laugh when my huge bag of supplements come out, but I dont care, I

know our way is right. Thankfully, at least the goatein gives me

decent protein!

Well, I shall check this again before I go back and then hope I can

find some time to keep writing to you all.

Everyone is really nice there, but there are things that need

changing as there are everywhere, and I know that if I could get the

message and info across about withdrawing from anti depressants many

of the patients would have an easier time.

When I am stronger, I will have more input I hope, the doctors there

do get people off them so that is a good thing and they acknowledge

the side effects and have said that I should expect 1-2 years before

all the side effects go.

, thanks for everything.

Lots of love
