Hi Amy, concerning your mail about drinking Jodi's doctor told her not to

have even one. She is already in cirrhosis stage so I don't know about your

situation. Best to ask your doctor. Hope you are having a good week end.

Amy it's me again. The doctor told Jodi that getting pregnant would be the

worse thing she could do. Of course there again your situation could be

different. Jodi has a problem with a low platelet count, which is something

I haven't heard anything about in this group. At the present her count is

38,000 and bleeds very easily. To be on the safe side, again I would ask my

doctor. Genny

Genny,

Does sound as if Jodi is having some rough times becoming adjusted to meds

that will work for her. I myself am trying to understand low platelet count

and what it means on my lab reports. But logic tells me she will bleed easy

since her liver is so delicate at this time. Hopefully in time she will be

able to stabilize out.

Hi Amy,

Sorry it's taken me so long to write back.

It sounds like you are doing pretty well overall with the AIH. Have they

considered that you might have PBC? I think that goes hand in hand with

colitis and one of the symptoms is iching...just wondered. I'm sure they

already ruled it out...

may I ask if you are able to draw SSDI? The fatigue does make it hard for

me to work. I'm self employed... I work part-time for friends who do

relationship seminars (out of my home) and I do Kay. But, I " m finding

it hard to work with the fatigue and chasing after my busy busy 19 month old

son, C.J. He's the reason I'm trying to keep a positive attitude...

everyone reacts to news differently. We all handle it the best way we can.

I'm sure you had to go thru what you did to move to the next stage. My mom

lives in OH (I'm in MI) and my husband's family is 45 minutes away. I

really couldn't just give up if I wanted to...even temporarily! My son

needs me too much.... Don't get me wrong, in an emergency, they'd be here in

a heartbeat...I just don't have the everyday help of someone if I stayed in

bed....

you asked about my son....as I said, he's 19 months old, thin and tall, thin

brown hair, beautiful blue eyes (everyone comments), and a bundle of energy!

he's been walking since before he was 10 months old, so he's been on the go

a long time. He's my pride and joy. How about your kids?

I look forward to getting to know you better,

Beth, AIH 10/00 MI

Amy,

  At first i thought this paian was actually a hernia. When i bent to tie shoes or whatever, it felt like something popped out, so i would stand and in a few moments the pain would subside. That had been going on for several months.  Acouple of weeks ago, it became more consistent but still not real painful, just sore in the area. I went to the doc and he first asked me if i had thought about my liver. I am not the one with AIH, my son is, and believe it or not i have not even thought about the possiblity of it being my liver. Scared me to death. He did notice that my liver was swollen and ordered an ultrasound on my gallbladder and liver. I also had the same labs done and all of you do , the lft's. Labs came back fine but they definitelu saw lots of stones in my gallbladder. It needs to come out. Since that time i have been having alot of pain, especially in my back and upper abdomen. Seems that what is going on the that the stones are blocking the way for the bile to help in the digesive process and that is causing the pain. At least that is what i understand. I do know that 3 advil  and a heating pad helps alot. Yes, Amy get it checked out and let us know.

Hi

I have had it done both ways. I prefer by the radiologist. He also gives

you something to relax, numbs the area on your neck, inserts a needle and

guides it to your liver.

Now having a choice, I will definately use the radiologist. Much less

painfull, lesser risks. I had versed when I had it done the other way, I

remember everything!!

Hi, Amy,

I am from land, and going to graduate school in Cambridge, MA. Where

are you from? Isn't Dr. D. a wonderful man and physician?

I don't know where I got bitten (I remember a tick bite in NY State, and

there are a number of other possible places, such as Cape Cod). I was

here in school when I fell ill.

I had been to countless other doctors in MA before a guardian angel (who

is on this list) saw my posts on a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome list and sent

me to him. Now I am back in school and working on my dissertation.

If you'd like, write me about your treatment and how you're doing. I'm

sorry it sounds like your little ones have this, too. But they will be in

good hands.

Sincerely,

Marie :)

Oh Amy,

All I can send is my thoughts and a big cyber hug for you both.

I cant imagine what you must be going through right now.

I would be thinking the same things if Ruby became really ill. I think it is

alot of people's dread......I know it is mine.

I will be thinking of you both often............

AND homeopath, homeopath, homeopath.

I've posted tons here since you've been on here.

I know its scary but life is scary. You can't vaccinate away everything.

In my opinon the vaccine is scarier than the disease and I've seen

children/babies with pertussis.

Well, I DO carry all of my weight in my tummy. Hopefully, after the

TT, I will be more well proportioned and a size 12. That's my goal,

and that's what I'm hoping for! :-)

Amy.

Amy

Hi Amy!

I am sorry! I bet though when you get your TT that you will be

smaller than

I am. Then I get to go

WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! LOL!!!

I have always been able to have high numbers of weight and wear a

sizes

smaller than you would think. I dont understand it, except I am

built very

solid. On Trishs website, in that picture of me, I was wearing a

size 16 and

weighing at 218.

Bad Carla.

Hi Amy: Glad to hear you are still doing so well. Sounds like a winner to

me. Was I not right? Do you or are you going to be about a size 8 or below?

You looked fantastic last week and I know when the swelling goes down you

will look even better. How is the family? Phyllis

My family is great - very happy to have me HOME! I'm about a 10

now. Remember, I'm tall! 5'8 " ! Thanks for the compliments,

though. I've lost an additional 5 inches in my hips, so now I've

lost almost 20 since WLS. WOW.

Thanks again for everything you did Phyllis. You are a true gem!!!

Love,

Amy.

Amy, Is that the pain med he sent you home with? Remember I am having mine

done on an outpatient basis and I am going home an hour or 2 after my

surgery. I am just not sure what to tell him to give me with our restrictions

after the MGB to certain meds. Thanks, Liz

He put me on a morphine pump, then when I got the itchies, switched

me to Mepergan (a mix of Demoral and Phenergan). It's powerful

stuff!

YOu know i must say Phyliss is one mighty smart cookie I am amazed everytime

i talk with her. I could talk with her for hours and learn from her. Not only

is she a good homeopath but she is a great person. I can call her any time

day and night I remeber calling her in the middle of the night when chaela

was sick. i remeber her sitting on the phone with me through Chaelas coughing

spells. She is really a great friend
