Flukes are over 2 inches long and dark red.

If you are going to expel babies, then adults will come out too. Please refer

to an Internet picture of flukes that look like cucumber seeds. Many, many

things look like that in fecal material from nuts and seeds to brown rice which

looks exactly like that on exit. I'd like to see pictures of flukes before

making a broad brush diagnosis sight unseen of what emerged.

Hi

It doesn't matter if we agree or disagree with your policies.These are the

rules of your group.Let us be mature and live by the rules.That is half a

problem with our society today...they don't want to live within any

boundries of any sort...its a;; about me me me that goes hand in hand with

learning to evaluate and think for oneself.

I am starting to feel bad that I have been around as 1 of the originals, and

I am not really parrticipatin a lot right now. I read my daily posts to keep

up with my friends, so I want you to know I do think of you all, probably

evert day!

I livr in FL< which I see we are getting a little group getting together, so

I want to see how that goes - and as other things come up tht I can easily

help perform tasks, or delegate an activity ftom a specific point of view .

.. . just keep me ion mind. I'm still here. Albeit, much much less! I started

at 283 and my goal was to have been 175 - but once it starts coming off, who

CARES what that " GOAL " was, so then I wanted 150 . . . gueess what . . . I

went from a 283 to a comfortable in my own skin situation at 132. I have

been out for 4 1/2 years and I have had a great problems with medical care,

but it isn't related to my stomach (mot that anyone wants to belivee htat)

but , MY DOCs know what is happeneing, and I am being treated, and I should

be good to go back to work March 1. I have had a sub in my room for a 6

month medical leavel. I really miss my kids!

So, I am fightiny, my husband. my family, we are all fighters and we are

foing to fight us sll to get there! We will be hured and thin and

healthy!!!!

So, I just wanted to stick my head out if there isn anything you thinkyou

may need assistance on, especially on the local FL meetr and greets. I

sdon't know that I can committ to doing something at every single meeting -

but let me know what is going on and when it has to be done by.

I hopew to meet some faces!

Hi All,

I am Eileen I have been a lurker for over a year and really to read all of

the posts, and have learned a lot and loved all the support.

but unfortunately I have too many emails to catch up on. so I have to delete

them without reading them. so if there is any major news such as a cure, a

way to make swallowing easier, or a sale at J C Penny's (J/K about the last

one....Unless it's a really good sale ; ) )

Please let me know. Take Care All,

Love Eileen

Eileen, hello and wecome. As of yet there is no cure for this disease.

Doctors do not really know how or why people get it. Surgery is the best

option for us to eat and swallow better. The surgery is not a cure and you

also

have to remember that you will never swallow like you did in the years past.

This is a progressive disease. I hope this answers some of your questions.
