Lynn, honey, I will not take the Remeron, it will only make me worse. I have been positive for lupus since 1991 and it goes in cycles.

Take care...we all love you........Lea

Re: Breast implants - suicide risk gets press coverage

Lea ~

The appointment was basically as all my other ones are. Boy your case is complicated, and you have a lot going on, and that is about it. My heart has been doing good, but hey, when you have been in bed basically for 3 weeks, what can you expect. Again, they dont listen to me that I have low blood pressure, with spikes and dips that dont last a long time. Usually when I am feeling really bad, the spikes and dips I have are frequent, otherwise only a couple times a day. The guy was gonna double my beta blocker, but didnt after me telling him it goes so low. I dont know why they are so hell bent on assuming I have high blood pressure. My blood pressure unless I feel bad is usually 90-100/60-75, and this is OFF medicines. that is low ! ! He was saying something about my systolic being 100 or lower, and not wanting it that low......... ..geeze Mr, clean out your ears ! ! Anyway, he said to resume my activities and he wants to see me in 3 months...... so I guess I have to see the regular cardio to get clearance for the surgery. I think in Austin, none of the doctors are smart enough to handle a case like mine. It seems pretty simple to me......sure I have alot going on, but you see, to get rid of the instigator (implants) will allow me to heal the rest of the things...... .....

I had the worse pancreatic pain all night last night....... ....it has settled down some, but is still there. I havent eaten anything.... scared to.....lololol. .....

I cant do that pain again today, and havent slept. Lea, I thought of you during all that as you just had a rough one too.

I hope your doc had good news for you, so I am gonna read on for a bit, then will be laying my bum down for a rest........ ....Love you ~ Dede

Lea, if you don't have to - I wouldn't either. I hated taken the drug because it made me super foggy and my memory was bad. I didn't feel like myself, not clear minded.

Lea, I hope you feel better soon. You have been having so many bad days, I am so sorry.

Love, Lynn

Lynn,

I find Primal Defense really helps me in that way too.

Sadly, I have been told to go onto plain old

probiotics because my naturopathic dr thinks that

those soil organisms may further irritate my

appendix:( Now I can't go to the bathroom either! That

stuff works like magic!

No time to be sick.........what a powerful statement.

I tell ya Lea, if it werent for all you wonderful people, I dont know where I would be right now. It is no secret that all this is depressing, and with family not being there for you, it is empty on top. Ya know they all are used to me being the caretaker, has them stumped now that I need them, they dont know how, so they just dont.......when they ask how I am, they really dont want to hear the truth, so " they" do better if I just say I am great.....being ill is rough enough, it is what it is, for now anyway !

That is a great attitude, and the only way to go. Bless her heart, I know chemo is a rough ride. How much longer will she be having it? You know, it is the love of life and living that helps you survive the rough spots......

I use imaginary alot to help me thru alot of the rough spots, and it helps so much. I just go into my mind an be the well Dede I was for 40 years. I imagine each and every organ as healthy and vital organs. I am fortunate that I have always been a very visual person. I visualize everything.....sometimes I wish I wouldnt, because some words have quite the visual......LOLOLOL...... I hope you have a nice and relaxing day today !

Darling Lynn and Group:

I am feeling better today, it looks like prayers do work. This morning I was able to have my oatmeal. I have cleaned the cat litters, and my bathroom...Lysol is not good for me, but I wear a mask. Lupus really does have a thousand faces, and this has been a bad flare...last night my vision was so bad that I could not stand any light. Lynn, thank you for sharing your experience with me.

The Remeron will go back to the pharmicist; however, I have taken my first new Thyroid medication...Desiccated Thyroid. This means that I must keep a list of any good or bad symptoms.

Sending love and hope to all....Lea

Darling Dede, thank you for your prayers and candles. What would we do without this loving group of women? I know for me it is a gift of hope. They have helped me so much.

is vacuuming our bedroom, bless his heart, because we have to keep everything so clean because of our cats. He has also been so worried about me going into respiratory distress again. It is because of this that we keep the nebulizer close by, as well as Pulmicort and Ventolin.

I have liquid Nilstat in my mouth while I am writing this. I am taking both the Nilstat pills and the liquid Nilstat because I am on a massive dose of antibiotics again. Like our darling Lynda and Dr. Blais always say, it will cure me or kill me. When this garbage is removed, we hope that will help. Dr. Blais told us that whatever is in there keeps forming into a chronic golf-ball-size abscess. Each time that it breaks, the cyclic symptoms return.

I am a good example of a woman who did not have a the capsules remoned properly. This has prevented me from getting well.

Dede, take care, and your day will come...love you...Lea and Superman

Lea, I also tried the armour thryoid. I think it was too high of a dose though and I had some heart palps and other symptoms. I wish I had just 1/2ed the pill but instead told the doctor who told me to take the synthroid instead. I still have the armour and I might try it again but only a 1/2 of the pill and then work my way up. If you have any wierd flares, you may just wanted to lower the dose until your body gets used to it (oh, I had some numbness in my face too - both sides on both cheeks). I wished I had given it more of a chance.

I am so happy you are feeling better! Wow, you have done so much today. I need to clean Eddie's litter box too - blah.

Love, Lynn

Dede - this is my dear mother-in-laws attitude with the breast cancer! She said she is not going to let this sickness ruin her life, she refuses to let it take over. She gets so sick (both ends) after she eats due to the chemo, she must be by a bathroom within an hour or so of eating. Well we didn't want to go out to dinner because of this but she wasn't going to allow this to stop her. She has such a great attitude!

You just described me to a T ! LOL.........oh, well..........I do my best......and I know you do too. I am glad to hear you are feeling better today. I think I have been in a constant flare since May 2003. I will be interested at how much of this goes away with these tits when they are gone. They are still growing. It is unbelievable. The left one is gonna need a wheelbarrow pretty soon to lug it around ! I just dont understand how this can be as I had all breast tissue removed......thru all those surgeries.........strange..........very strange !

You are in my prayers Lea, I hope you continue to feel better. How is your mouth? Love you ~ DedeGet a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com.

[Guest guest]

Dede, you are so sweet, but it is true for me. It seems like I can never get everything done before a flare hits me again. I am feeling better again today...this is good. Most women are in the same situation as me, too sick to do the things that need to be done, and cannot afford to have a cleaning lady.

Dede, it was super stressful and I am so tired. I tried to take it easy but I had so much work waiting for me. I feel like crap right now, both of my calfs are throbbing in pain for some odd reason???

I went to a new endocrinologist today and I already know I am not going back. She doesn't think the T3 Free is a good indicator of anything. She said my heart palps are probably just anxiety - SHEESH - RIGHT.

I am going to bed early tonight, can barely keep my lids open. How was your day?
