Ya.Adjusting sucks a**! But not like we even have a choice hu? Yep.thats how it

goes,adjust to one and BOOM! Here comes another,dont know about you but my BOOMS

are big.Ughhh.Now if I had a psych consult id probly have adjustment disorder

to.Lol.! You shoulda seen this thing my PT thought would help me,it was a walker

with forearm crutches attached.She had modified it and said she could modify

mine.It wiped the crap outa me cuz all my upper body weight was putting to much

strain and she had to keep bringn me the chair to rest,I told her it wasnts

workn for me.Thankgod,not tryn to be rude or affend anyone that may use a device

like this but for me I jus couldnt no way,I told her im gonna get one with a

seat so I can rest when needed so instead she wraped my feet in ace bandages

real tight so they would lift more,it helped them lift more but hurt the sides

of my feet so bad I had tears by the time I got to the car.Really is a no winner

I guess.Hope your doin ok.Big hugz,cassy

So `, you live close to Tyler? My late dh and I went there on the motorcycle to visit his brother and sil and went to the zoo. It is great and I am sure your children will love it. We did and it is one place I would not mind seeing again. Bill and familly have moved back here now so I may never go back but it is a favorite memory. Also some of the museums were fantastic.

I might have some tops. I'll have to look through my closet. I went on low carb last October and lost 33 lbs in6 weeks. I got rid of most of my clothes that were too big, then I "fell off the low carb wagon". I haven't gained much, just a few lbs. I need to get back to it. I will go through my stuff.

I stopped buying clothes back in 1999 when I lost my job. I'm still wearing some of the "stretchy" clothes from then, as I haven't been able to afford to buy new clothes. I'm in a real dilema right now. Now, I am being finacially forced to join the work force again. My hubby is not pleased. But, we have no choice. My problem now is. What am I going to wear to interviews? And what size do I wear? When I had to quit my job back then, I was only a size 5/6. My daughter gave me a pair of pants while I was staying with her recently. They're a size 14!! I had no idea I had gotten so big. Believe me, for my height and bone structure...That's fat!

Though we have figured out that the phantom itch is actually some other place on my body that does really have an itch.. and if we find it, and scratch it.. the phantom itch will go away... trick is finding the spot that acualy does itch!I've found nothing to cure the "reach for the stars" thing... well the baclofen did stop it for awhile.. but I'm noticing now, like last night, that it didn't work, and I even took the THIRD 10mg pill to see if it would help. It didn't. Though I think I remember putting a blanket on my leg, and when the leg & foot got good and warm, it seemed to ease the spasm a bit..Oh, and have you noticed, (don't know whether it will make a difference for you guys or not) that your numbness, wherever you have it, and sometimes some spots where you don't, get worse or appears when you eat anything with MSG in it?I can't eat Chinese food anymore (because our Chinese Take-Outs all use MSG), and I've had to give up on that Cheese Wiz stuff in the spray can and Summer Sausage as well.. a few types of soup (that I can't remember, but will the next time I eat it) as well as a couple of types of TV dinners.. mmm.. I know which ones of thoe. Sanson or Banquet, whichever is in the red box.. Salisbury Steak dinner.. but I can eat a Hungry Man Salisbury Steak TV Dinner without a problem... go figure...Well I've rattled enough this morning.. got my pills shoveled in.. have to inject yet.. and read the rest of the emails that have piled up...maybe reply to a few, before I start again with the major house overhaul.. just looked at me last night when he got home from work and saw ALL the stuff that was piled on the bed... He said.. I wouldn't have put it on the bed.. I'd have... I said yeah.. well you aren't moving the stuff around while sitting on the floor either are you? LOL.. the easiest place to put it to get it out of my way, IS on the bed... We have way way way way too many clothes for any one person to wear.. but during the summer months, (before the Copaxone) we tended to buy a whole lot of clothes, because he worked way too many hours and was too tired for laundry and I wasn't ble t do the laundry... so if you want clean clothes.....Had to do the same thing when we both worked for Charter.. One of their strategies to get me to quit was to schedule EVERY one of our days off... apart from each other... NO ONE could go to the laundromat (we lived in an apartment then, without laundry facilities).. so had, honest to goodness.. 4 and one half weeks worth of "caual dress" clothes (not to mention undies, t-shirts & socks).. dress shirts & dress slacks.. hanging in the closest.. Needless to say... the habit of buying clothes when they are on sale cheapcheap has stuck... now I've got wall to wall clothes in the bedroom!!! ... well today they are wall to wall clothes strung from the bedroom to the laundry room as I wash & dry them.. dispose of no longer useful stuff and hang or fold the wearable stuff and try to find drawer space to put it all away... I really don't think there is drawer space enough on our HOLE sreet!! ROFL...Take Care|)onna

Re: Wierd feeling

Trista.I cant imagine burning pain like that. I mostly have stabbing and

then odd sensations here and there.I know how it feels to get burned and

couldnt imagine actually feeling that on my skin without the actual burn.My

skin is hyper-sensitive witch is also painful but more bothersome.My fiance

cannot rub my hand neither can my girls it sends a pain and then causes my

hand and arm to jerk up in a cramp and twich.Almost like a spasm and cramp at

the same time.I got alot of burning when I used the capaisin cream.No more of

that stuff.lol.Hopefully one of these days we will get some real answers.Luv

to you trista! And all here on the group,cassy

Hey Sharon~

If you want I'll be your diet buddy. I know Atkins is a very good diet. But, really it's more than that. It's a life-style. How 'bout it?

God bless...Val

Re: Wierd feelingTrista and Cassie,You two are not alone in the sensations you've been feeling.

Sharon~I know you know this; but just as a reminder--that Medrol pack you were on (as I was also,recently) drives up our Bl.su. like crazy. Not to say it shouldn't be a concern...

As far as diets go--I know you didn't ask me; but I too, am about to embark on something--however my 'something' is in the form of a liver cleanse and body-detox. My friend did it, and just naturally lost something like 6 lbs in 10 days. I think that would at least help me 'jump start' my diet...http://secure.annlouise.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS & Category=12

This is a product by Ann Louise Gittelman--author of the Fat Flush Diet. I met her in person, when I was doing Fat Flush some years ago. It was a real treat--I had splurged and went out to Idaho--alone! gorgeous country out there!It was a whole group of 'Fat Flushers'; we'd eat real healthy meals together; have outings; they had spa treatments--it was awesome! It took me over a yr. to pay back all that cost to do--it was only a 4 day wk-end, but an exceptional hotel. This product IS expensive--but I'm thinking of only doing it for the 30 days.> I really, REALLY need to get back on the low carb diet myself. > I was doing Atkins last fall, lost 15 pounds and my cholesterol > dropped 40 points!

Ok, Val and Cassy~You 2 are gittin' me hun-gry! As I just turned off my pot of water, boiling with 3 hard-boiled eggs in it--I opened this email! lol! Our wedding cake was exactly that--carrot cake with cream cheese icing...mmmm--mmm! I have to tell you...I've gone through bizarre times of REALLY overeating-more in the past; bought huge amounts of food; start eating, as I'm driving...then becoming completely disgusted at myself--started chucking the food out the window as I was driving! No--don't worry--it didn't splat on anyone's windshield--I made certain I was on "des-serted" (ha-get it!) anyway..country roads..My cholesterol is 216, and my triglycerides...gulp...472!!! I probably shouldn't even eat 1 egg! I refuse to do drugs for my cholesterol--that's why I'm trying to work out on the treadmill...blessings and hugs to my 'fellow-foodies', kate> Cassy~> I absolutely looooove carrot cake!

Akiba~

My brother is always talking eBay. He sell stuff on there himself. You know, I have never been to that site. I'm going to go check it out. It must be a great place to go, seems like I'm always hearing about it. You suppose they sell Hoodia?

Blessed be...Val

Yes, and the folks who first used this, would go on long hunting expeditions, and used the Hoodia to supress their appetites as they were without food for long stretches on these expeditions...I'm on autoship for Hoodia--it is about 'coming out of my ears' as I had stopped taking it..If anyone should need some... kate> Hoodia is a plant that was discovered by some bush people in > Africa, I believe.

Trista~

You're right about that. With these diets you do actually start losing inches before you lose the weight. I'd still like to have a scale so I could at least check my weight once a week though. Actually, I do have a scale. It uses batteries, though. The reason I think it may be broken, is because after my grandies started playing with it, it wouldn't function properly. I thought it was the batteries, so I changed them. Still doesn't work. Maybe I can get a cheap one at Dollar General.

God bless....Val
