You can get a prescription for an emla patch or emla cream. It numbs the area so you don't feel the needle stick. >> Hi, I get an IV treatment every four weeks and use the emla cream so that I don't feel the IV needle going into my portacath. (that is an IV port for easy access for long term IV treatments). I would not get my IV without it. I swear by it! Peggi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2002 Report Share Posted April 4, 2002 Hi Trudy, Thanks so much for the kind words, I have no idea what is wrong with Art, he does not like any of my posts, I did not mean to offend him, and I have no idea how I did offend him. Maybe he just likes to criticize any post that is not up to his standards? Thanks again Trudy you are a real sweetie. Elaine to Elaine Elaine, No I do not agree. Too much of a stretch. The line has to be drawn somewhere. GM foods as a possible cause? Maybe. Why not also include global warnming and radon gas. Or how about ....... Bib Laden's group hitting a nuclear reactor? The list of possible causes is enormous. I say we work to keep the info flow manageable. Information overload is a signifigant problem anymore. Let's not try to cover every real or imagined threat but stick to promising, little known, practical cancer treatments and locating the practitioners, clincs and hospitals who offer them. That is a huge job in itself. You have a lot of good information, but my personal opinion is ALL of it is not automatically required here. By the way, I did you the courtesy of emailing you off-list. You either missed that or seem indifferent to such things. Hmmmmm ....... - Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Ebony, At one point in my life i looke at my pastor and told him I know God doesnt give us more than we can handle, But I have had enough for a while i wish he would leave me alone. At that point i was 23 preg. with 2nd childand in the hosp. for bladder inf., kidney inf., and dehydrated. I had just burried my mothers brother who had never been married( I was the only one in the state of Ohio) I was trying to deal with the Estate. His other sibblings informed me that I could not have any more children because i was killing them off. When I was preg. with my 1st My mother passed away. My mother and her brother were burried on the same day 2 years apart. when mom died we were getting ready for the first Iraq so my brother could not be home long (he was in the Air Force at the time) so it was all up to me. And to make everything worse My Mother killed herself and I found her. So I do understand a little of what you are going through. If you want to you can emai me directly tru0204@... Trudy stillbreathing29 <stillbreathing29@...> wrote: Hi Trudy, Thank you for your reply. We have that in common. I developed the RA 2 years before we married, my daughter was already 3, his biological daughter as well and she was regressing fast at that point. So we went into the marriage with a lot of extras. However, I have learned over the years, we can't all have the fairytale marriage. lol I would love it if we could go walking as a couple and I have joined spas over the years, hoping we could exercise as a family but that has been a no-go. So, I have learned to look elsewhere to try to have a life outside of marriage and yes there are times when I would like a response here on the board AND there are times when I just want to read what everyone else is talking about. I just want to be among others who understand and I am still feeling that out right now. I think there are a few here from a group I left before my daughter passed away and my experience was not good with that group. I am not sure but just by looking at the signatures, I think so. I am a changed persone but still not up for added stress. Losing someone you love changes you forever. I always felt I was a compassionate person but I think I have become even more so. You learn what is important in life real fast. I thought the illness had done that but apparently I had some more growing to do spiritually and my loss has done that for me. I am not sure why I have had the experiences I have had and what I have listed is only a fraction. I try not to focus on them too much at this stage of my life. I try to make the negative - a positive somehow, if not by any other way but to share and educate by my experiences. You have a story, I have a story, we all do and I would love to hear them; we are all on this journey of life or we wouldn't be here sharing our pain of RA and I understand that we are all trying to do the best we can and sometimes it isn't what others expect from us but life didn't come with a script. As the old saying goes, this isn't a dress rehearsal. It's the real thing. I always say as long as we are breathing, there is hope. Right? Love and peace to you, Ebony > Ebony, > Wow you sure have been through a lot as of late, My prayers are with you. You were right when you say RA is not marriage friendly. My hubby knew before we married and he still has a hard time with it. He just cant understand no matter how much he wants to. Thats why this group is so great we all totally understand what each other is going through.Even tho we may not always post a response to each post (WE hurt too!!)we still care and understand. I hope you have a great day. > Trudy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
