Guest guest Posted November 19, 1998 Report Share Posted November 19, 1998 Dear IMO Thank you. Your advise and words were great. " Yeah, that's my problem --wonder what yours is? " I could not think of a better way to word it than that. I do realize that my reaction will be his reaction (this is where it all begins) but I did find comfort in the " matter-of-fact " wording in your phrase. Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 1998 Report Share Posted November 23, 1998 Esther - Thank you for the info. - Sorry we are losing Helen. How can she be getting messages that she already read? I am so new to this so when people write in " computer language " (e.g. IMO) I do not get it all the time. I feel bad that she is leaving because I finding reading/replying to this group an outlet for me ... thanks for the early Christmas present !

Guest guest Posted March 13, 1999 Report Share Posted March 13, 1999 Suzanne, I tried Spectro-Derm. (Is this the cleanser you're talking about?) It was too irritating for my skin. Some people really like it and it works great for them. All of us rosaceans seem to react differently to different products. I guess that's what makes us interesting to Drs. Sy and Nase. Matija Also has anyone tried taking Septra like me? Just curious as to what your results have been. > > Thanks, Suzanne > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2000 Report Share Posted May 26, 2000 Donna, Hi....my name is Debbie and I just thought I would send you a quick note saying hello. It is kind of hard to get to know everyone on this list as there are so many people. I am married (21 yrs) and have 3 children - boy, age 20, girl, age 19 and another girl, age 17 1/2. Two are out of school already and the other will graduate next year but they are all still living at home. The 19 year old is pregnant and due in August, so that is kind of stressful, especially cause she doesn't want to marry the guy who got her pregnant even though he has begged her to. Do you have any kids? How long have you had Fibro? Do you work? I am a housewife thanks to the Fibro, and even that is a chore at times. Write me back so I can get to know you.....after all I think Fibro is for life. Debbie thanks I want to thank all the wonderful people that have written to me, i don't feel so alone, i am new here but if anyone wants to vent or just talk i am here for you hugs to all donna VIPAdd or view links about fibro/CFS.http://www.onelist.com/links/ TO unsubscribe.Go to: http://www.onelist.com/ Log in:Go to this list: Click on your name: Select your choice.LIST OWNER:oa2@...

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 Yes, I get ankle pain too on the operated side. This is because I walked very strangely for so long that it's just not used to being used. It is slowly going away with time, but after being on my feet for a while it does get stiff and ache. Stretching it and moving it around helps get rid of it. Aches and pains in other locations are to be expected if you have suffered from a join tproblem for a long time. Everything else moves to accomodate the bad joint and has to grow to adapt to the new stresses post-op. The key is: don't overdo it. I have a chronic backache now that can only be cured with stretching and long-term strengthening. It is getting better, slowly. Of course, I try not to forget that spending a few months to fix many years of problems is actually amazing. -- J >thanks for all your welcome notes. >This group has given a sense of belonging to me.Thanks again. >The reason i enquired about the special socks was because i develop >pain in the ankle after prolonged activity.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2002 Report Share Posted April 27, 2002 What I meant was that usually (before you're on the diet and playing musical meds), you're going from one med to another, so you're not really coming off meds, so to speak. On the diet, you're coming off the meds completely. Hope that makes sense? Allie sounds much like was on Topomax. It was the worst time of our lives. She was completely " gone " - and it was like there was no way to reach her. The teachers at school were crying - it was just horrible. We were never on more than one med. Just played muscial meds from one to another, until we went on the diet and weaned off Lamictal. So I don't know about how that can go on the diet. But, I've read on this list, that when you wean one, the effects of the other can be more pronounced. I'll be thinking of you!--D > > One question, when you said when weaning meds on the > diet, you're really > exchanging one med for another, were you referring > to the diet as a med?

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2002 Report Share Posted September 27, 2002 Hi Tami, Your fears will be better dealt with by talking to other WLS patients, especially the pre-ops. I attend a support group meeting in Roseville, California, once a month. There are LOTS of them out there -- I can't remember where you're from. I'm also on several internet support groups (like this one). So bring up your doubts -- we've all struggled through them, and can perhaps offer you a different perspective. Laurie Thanks Hello everyone!!! Shell and , Thank you very, very much for the kind words and wishes. I am bolstered by your support and so happy that I joined this group, it is just what I need. I have not called Marina as yet. I have been very busy with home and family. I can't remember if I told you that I home school two of my four children(one has graduated from "normal" school) or not, so if I have please forgive me for repeating myself. Up until this month there has been no help of any kind from the school board and it has been difficult to teach the correct curriculum. This last month our district finally began a progrom for the district and home school to work together, this way the city can get money from the state even though the children don't attend the district school. I have been back and forth with the woman handling the program and I am very dissapointed in the whole thing so far. My daughter unfortunatly has anxiety/panic attacks, she inherited from me, and this "Teacher" is very snooty and elitist. I have gone rounds with her about her treatment of my daughter so now I think it will be just her and I again, even though this woman tried to threaten me with legal action as " It is entirely illegal to not have your child enrolled in an education institution!" What a bunch of hooey. I swear it is so difficult these days. The schools are not safe and there are too many distractions for children to truly get an education as far as I am concerned. Oh well, where I was going with this is, I will try to call Marina this morning and I am hoping she will have good news for me. I have to say I have been reading a lot of articles about Gastric Bypass and they are a little bit scary. I am anxious to speak with a surgeon so that I can have my fears relieved, maybe. I really want the surgery but, I have said that before. Gotta go, Thanks again and have a great and BLESSED day. Tami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Shell, It makes sense to me that you weren't having pain and now you are. You're healing! The nerves are starting to regenerate, whereas before they were cut and not transmitting all of the pain signals. Laurie W. Thanks Thanks everyone, the doctor has not called back yet.
