eating not only upsets my stomach, but causes the food to come right back up.

Have you ever been put on Reglan or any other medicine for nausea and

vomiting? I have to take Reglan 3x a day or else I can't eat. I found that I

gained weight after I started taking medicines regularly for fibro and for my

diabetes.

Love and gentle hugs,

Hi Debi,

I never even thought to ask about nausea medication. I will ask my doctor as

soon as possible. Thanks for the idea! I know that some of my medications have

caused some weight gain in me. I'm glad I eat very healthy or I probably would

have ended up gaining more weight from the medications.. All my clothes are

tight lol.

Love,

Becky

Re; Migraine headaches.

I had, in the past(nineteen eighty-nine through two thousand five had been

getting migraine headaches every week, sometimes, the entire week was one huge

headache.

I had just taken the over the counter remedies. Then went to the Doctor, he

asked me if I used I had used any diet soft drinks or 'Equal' additive to your

coffee in the morning.

I told him I do not drink soda but I use Equal all the time.

He said; Stop using the Equal and find another without Aspartame in it.

I took his advice, and slowly the migraines were disappearing. By May of the

same year the ceased entirely.Who knew it was an additive that was the culprit?

I read recently, Equal was found to be a safe additive to coffee,

cakes,etc.....Guess who did the study? Well the FDA could not hide the secret

,the makers of Equal backed the funding for the " study " Amazing,who can you

trust at the FDA? It is supposed to be an " independent " entity,what happened?

Thank you Cheryl,

You never stop, do you? I may not participate/share much, but I do

read the posts. I have found myself on a downslide for awhile,

stumbling into walls sorta speak, w/Dr's. We live in a very small

town, and the medical feild is very limited. Since I can't drive

and it's very difficult for my husband to take time off, in time to

drive 1 1/2 hrs. to the nearest decent Dr. and I wouldn't even call

what I've see so far decent. They never have the time,they have to

make that quota, make you wait, then rush you out.

I'm finding myself getting more and more depressed. I've seen 4

ortho's. so far, as I'm sure you already know, none will do TKR's.

They want me to wait till I'm 60+. The last one gave me shot's of

cortisone, which did help ease the pain to 1/2 the pain. That was

Aug.22, so I guess I go back for more, or vigorisly start looking

for a top notch Ortho. my O/A and R/A, are getting out of control

as well, with the cooler weather. I'm finding myself on the down-

side more than up. I have found myself trying to stretch more, I

know that's a plus, my fybro. isn't out of wack yet, kinda stange,

but it might be some of the new meds. my new Rheumatologist has me

on. prednasone, amatriptalene, folic acid metatrexate. PLease forg-

ive my spelling, it's late, I can't see very well, and my meds. are

in the other room.

I'm sorry to go on so long, you are so busy. I start out always with

one thing on my mind, and go else where, many else wheres. I finnaly

got my catheter out after 2 weeks, and still have little bits of

blood. What a relief though, it hurt all the time, It was such a

pain. I need to talk to you, or get some advice, but mabe in the

next couple of days, just e-mail me when things slow down a bit,

what a joke right! slow down, between the group and holidays, I'll

bet your at one of those calgon moments, bless your heart. I wanted

to send an e-card, but was told awhile back that they are unexcep-

table to send to the modorators because of the amount of mail you

have to go through, I totaly understand.

Well, I'll close, but I hope you have a joyous Christmas.

Sincerily, Connie Byrns
