Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Cassy, Wow you must me suffering so much. It sucks that you can't go outside. Maybe you should get a stronger pain med. I hope you are feeling better soon. You really lift us up when we are down and hope that posting brings some help for you since most don't understand. I slept through the night with no pain at all (at least it didn't wake me up) . My husband woke me up at 10 am bcs he had to leave and do some errands and my youngest step chile (Autumn) is spilling ketones and throwoing up so someone has to watch her. I don't understand why her sugar was on 400 yesterday and a little higher last night why she is having such problems today. My husband gave her a shot (she is on the pump). He gave her two and she is still in bed not feeling well. My identical sister has been wanting me to go somewhere since last night (don't know why bcs she won't tell me what's going on) and she called today too right after I woke up and asked me yet again. She is mad at me bcs I have kids to look after and things happen where I can't do what she wants. I don't understand why she gets so mad. She knows I have kids and things happen all the time in this family. She has no kids and only 1 dog. I have 5 kids (one moved out....he is 22 yrs old) so she doesn't have to worry about when she can go. I do. I have to make plans for the kids and the dogs. Arggggggggg! Sorry this was suppose to help you and about you and I turned it around to talk about my stuff. Please feel better. We like hearing from you.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Cassy, I'm sorry honey, I hope that the new medicine helps and that they find something on the MRI. I know how the eye pain hurts. It feels like every single tiny sound, flicker of light, or any movement of your head hurts. Does it help at all to keep a cold compress on your eyes at all and try to lay in a dark room with little or no noise? I know sometimes that is next to impossible but just checking. Keep us posted, k?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Tee hee... I have a friend who has a muscular disease. A lot of the symptoms you describe, seem to be the same ones she has. I think you should see about getting it checked out if you haven't already. It's called HSP. I think that's it. I sent her an email just a few minutes ago requesting that she let me know what the actual name of it is, so I can pass it on to you. Love you bunches... Val <*)))><payngabby@... wrote: LoL.

I know that legal ones do exist. Keep taking the best care of yourself that you can. mom to -12, SCD 4/23/04 Pecanbread Moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hey Everyone, Thank you for putting up with my complaints lately. After a couple of rough weeks- Between odd weight gain, seasonal allergies, PMS going on for weeks and weeks of discomfort- I finally got my period. Although, extremely painful and challenging I woke up this morning (after 11 hours of sleep- this coming from a recovering insomniac!!) feeling so much better and renewed! I thank this diet for helping me get my period naturally (which has happened 2 other times since on this diet. I rarely had a natural period in all of my years) and I believe and know I am on a path of healing. I think my body goes through this bizzare cycle of recalibrating trying to reach a state of equilibrium. It is almost as if my body just doesn't know what to do with this level of healing and every now and again it goes out of wack, crazy and just short-circuits. Thank you for all of your support and sharing your experiences and advice with me both on and off list. Bless this diet, Dr. Haas and Elaine for her life's work. I feel so privileged to have found this diet and although challenging I am truly blessed that it is doing it's magic for me even if it can be very slow. Something is working after all of these miserable years. I wish I could see more of this strong side of myself when I go through my difficult times and when I get fearful because the pain and discomfort it is so all just so consuming. All of your help and input keeps me on track. I really value this community. Jodi SCD 7 months Crohn's/Colitis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
