Guest guest Posted March 18, 2002 Report Share Posted March 18, 2002 I'm also a new member. I have joined because my husband is a diabetic with out of control sugar. We are working very hard to get it under control and it doesn't seem to be working very well. He is compliant and tries very hard. We have a new endocrinologist that we hope will be able to offer some solutions in terms of medication. I hope it's ok for me to be on this list even though I'm not a diabetic. I have low blood sugar. I think it will help me as we cope with his diabetes and my low blood sugar. Flo in land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2002 Report Share Posted March 18, 2002 Thanks for the welcome. About myself,I am a senior citizen,I live in Illinois right across the river from St.Louis,Missouri I can see the Arch from my back yard. Have had diabetes about 17 years,am an obese person,and I do not manage my blood sugar well at all.See by some of the letters you talk about liver and kidney numbers I do not know any of these things only will be talking about diet and blood sugar. Was wondering if I may write to you all if I am going through a hard day or just talk about feelings.Have not been on my plan for some time but got back on it last week so may I report how my blood sugar is doing and just talk about thing in general regarding diabetes.Needed some one to talk to who understands what I'm going through all the time.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2002 Report Share Posted March 18, 2002 Hi Nan, We're glad you're here. We've all been there and all had hard times. I'm glad you're taking control of your BS. It's so important to avoid terrible complications down the road. I suffered from denial for a while before taking charge of my life. The first couple of months were very difficult, trying to figure it all out. Now I am seeing results and so pleased. Let us know how you're doing and what's working and not. There are some wonderful, knowledgable people on this list who can help you through the bumps in the road. I found that reading helped a lot. If you would like the name of some books, let me know. Oh! Most of my relatives live around St. Louis and Belleville! Take care, Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: lwnwtghr@...

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hi Mari, A big warm Texas welcome from me. As you probably know we are a supportive and loving group. I've never known one so helpful. , and Donna are the reason for that. They are our Moderators. May you go through this journey with the least amount of strain on you and yours. Hang in there dear Mari, and ask questions or have a pity party just like I just did. We all need support. Welcome again, and Love with a smile, Imogene Caregiver for my true Texas Gentleman Husband, who was diagnosed with AD in '05, but correctly diagnosed with LBD in '06. A happy personality is contagious. Infect someone today Yours Truly In a message dated 1/23/2010 9:37:57 A.M. Central Standard Time, comaralu@... writes: Hello Everyone I am new to the group. My mom was recently diagnosed with LBD, (she already suffered from Parkinson's) and I think she had LBD before the diagnosis. There was a lot of confusion and mystery as to what was causing her hallucinations and odd behavior until I began to read about the different causes of dementia. After several visits and frequent calls to her neurologist and prayer, she was finally hospitalized with a fever and a urinary tract infection. After the doctors and nurses observed her behavior, she was finally diagnosed. The disease is such a tragedy, yet I have to be grateful that I can still see her every day and have the opportunity to help in any way that I can. She is in a nursing facility presently, but I have the goal and dream of being able to care for her at home one day. In the meantime we are dealing with the hand that life has dealt us. I appreciate the opportunity to exchange emotions and info with you. Mari's. " Life is like a grindstone - whether it grinds you down or polishes you up depends on what you're made of.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I've had FMS since I was 18, now 36. Just recently I've begun having the hand/arm from elbow numbness and pain. I'm told chiro and massage on the area can help significantly. Will let you know.

I am 42 years old and have varying degrees and types of symptoms. I have some good weeks and some bad weeks but never total recovery. I have had hundreds of tests MRI's, EMG's, blood work etc. They have ruled out MS, Lupus etc I have a lot of numbness in my hands and feet. I have a poor excercize tolerance and I have trouble accepting the diagnosis and worry endlessly that it is something else, more serious. The main thing I suspect is MS but my consultant repeatably assures me it is not MS. Does anyone here have severe numbness and pain in your hands and feet and, if so, what have you done to help this?

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hi Janette, Am one of the oldies in this site...I used to have the same problems. As I changed my diet from starch and processed foods to protein and vegetable diet  I began to feel much better. I also added Braggs unfiltered apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, vitamin d3, and other supplements. I took away sodas, sugar  (I use estevia), I use a lot of natural herbs and spices. It took me several months to clear myself from toxins accumulated through the years but I am feeling so much better. I also had acupuncture once a week for eight months....it works! I was blessed to have an acupuncture school here and had it done for lessthan half price. Hope this helps a bit. ________________________________ To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Monday, November 21, 2011 7:13 AM Subject: Hello  Hi I am new here but not new to Fibro, I have had it for 10 years.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hello Janette Welcome I had similar issues with my heads and feet and my foot doctor tested me for b12 and b1 and I am lacking in both. I do weekly shots of b12 and take b1. I had to do shots because taking a vitamin was not being absorbed. It has helped but it took months before I started to see a difference. You should get your b12 tested and it should be around 500 to 600. My sister has the same thing and she is also lacking in these vitamins. Can you tolerate walking? Swimming is supposed to be great for Fibro Ciao- Ange ________________________________ To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Mon, November 21, 2011 5:13:47 AM Subject: Hello Hi I am new here but not new to Fibro, I have had it for 10 years.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011  I am very weak today and finding it hard to type, but I want you and the others here to know I am listening. Nobody has ever told me anything like this before and I am finding it a bit hard to comprehend but there is something special here, I can feel it and I am going to stick around and find out what is getting you all well.  Janette To: " fibromyalgiacured " <fibromyalgiacured > Sent: Monday, 21 November 2011, 23:12 Subject: Re: Hello  Hi Janette, Am one of the oldies in this site...I used to have the same problems.
