Guest guest Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 Cathy - When is the next time that you see yout doctor? I'm concerned about the blisters and what could be causing them.....chemo? medication? RSD? You so rarely talk about how you're doing and the kind of medical care that you're receiving. I know that it is difficult for you to type (guess I'm not the only one in that department, eh?), but if it's not too much trouble, I'd really to know you better. I hope that you and everyone here had a nice holiday. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Hi Cathy. >>>My son had white spots (vitiligo) around age 6,<< My son has this, although no one attributed it to low thyroid except me. He is 81/2 now, but this showed up long ago. >>>Was wondering, how did you find out that your son has a low thyroid problem?<< I have hypo T, my husband has hashi's. I noticed a huge change for myself when I switched to armour. So with my son's low body temp, I thought he was hypo also. His pediatrician said his levels tested normal..however I knew they were not.. His new holistic doc didn't hesitate to prescribe armour, which we monitor, ourselves. >>>>does he have physical symptoms? My son really didn't have physical symptoms, his low thyroid seemed to effect him mentally - anxiety, depression, and his perception of himself.<<<<< My son has equal physical and mental symptoms IMO. He has many autistic symptoms. He has a high IQ, but was severely delayed in language. He is very super sensitive to noise, and light, and ciaos. He has no ability for physical exercise except swimming. We live in Florida so it is so hot that regular stuff is difficult most all of the year. He is on adderall for attention difficulties, which makes school life bearable for him, however, he would never step foot in school if he had his way! It is so difficult for me to make him go to a place he hates so much. I know if I could ever find a school he liked it would be a huge plus. I think he will need to be on antidepressants some time or another, due to the system, and the droll way they make learning these days due to large classes and no money. Meanwhile we are working on his adrenal stress and thyroid issues. Who knows which came first???? nne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 We do all have those horrible times when we are angry and mourn the loss of our "old" life. It's so hard to get back on track, but as you said, you've got Joe to help you do that. Anger is fine as long as it doesn't consume you. Keep telling Joe thank you.. I'm sure he doesnt need to hear it, but it's nice to let him know you are grateful for him being there for you.. Hugs, Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 I read your note to Donna, and I honestly think you must have misunderstood her.. I think she was trying to give you an honest response to your hardships.. while suggesting some ways to help yourself out of any depressive state you may be in.. We all know how much of a burden you've been given, and in my opinion, you handle it with courage and grace. You are allowed to get angry or sad, as well all do. It's not always easy to be cheery.. but I know you try for the Seniors in your building, etc. It amazes me how much you give regardless of what you are going through.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Cathy - Again, thanks for your concern. Pain has been at the worst as it has even been so haven't been up to much. If it weren't for the fact that my sister has been here since Friday I'm not sure how I would have managed. Grateful to her. WIll call clinic today...yesterday was a holiday. Also have the woman coming here to my home for alternative healing work. There are blessings in this world. Really hope that today brings some for you....and for my friend who is having all of her biopsies today. The waiting will be more painful than this physical pain. Love - Barb You and I will one day have that sit down. fishthatsmiles@... wrote: everyone liked the bread. took one back home. would love tojust sitdow and talk.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Cathy, In reading your recent post about your newest granddaughter, I kept wondering.. just how big are your shoulders? It seems as if you have been given so much to handle. And you do it with such grace and acceptance. I wish there were something I can do for you. I will pray for your new granddaughter, that her parents get the help they need to be good parents.. I'll add in some for you and Joe. Please let us know what the Dr. says today..

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Cathy...Please look into getting a free consulation with a lawyer about your rights as a grandparent. I also live in MA and there is a law about grandparent's rights here. I know that in alot of sates there are actual laws protecting the rights of grandparents..I do hope your state has one in place. Take Barbara's advice and talk to her also..she has a lot of good information. You are always in my thoughts and prayers....Hugs..GinnyBARBARA TORREY wrote: Cathy - Know, that at least in Massachusetts and most other states, there is an actual law about the rights of grandparents. Social services likely has some responsibility in assuring timely visits between your and your grandchild. If had been living in your state at the time that she was removed from her parent's care, it is a strong possibility that it can be arranged for the social worker involved to have to take on the responsibility of bringing to the Social Services office nearest to your home. This might mean that you will have to advocate strongly for this.... and even your speaking with the attorney who has been assigned on your grandchild's behalf. Really thinking, kiddo, that we need to talk. My heart, as always, goes out to you. Faye's letter to you was priceless. I hope that you print it out and put it up where you can see it, reflect upon it, and take it into your hurting heart. My love and prayers go out to you.....Barbara fishthatsmiles@... wrote: hello ,. as usual emily will live out of state. so if i am lucky i maysee her once a year. maybe even not that. do not know what will happento the parents. i kow what i would like to happen. i rerely get tosee my kds. maybe one day when they are grown they will want to visit.ih well. sad day. hurt real bad in body and spirit. thanks forcaring. cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 I hope Jo there is something you can do to help Cathy. Cathy you are the best person think I have known, with such a loving giving heart without any malice or unkindness in you. I just know you have loved and cared for so very many besides family members and done so with great care and love. How I admire you, and if you can think of way I could be of help, perhaps writing letter to ChildServices on behalf of you and your hubby and try to make them take close look at how children are being cared for just give me email address to write to. Take care of yourself Cathy and Jo your just so wonderful to offer the help. JoAnn s Mommajomal1@... wrote: Cathy,I cannot believe how cruel and heartless this man is. What state are the children in? I'd really like to check laws and see if family services in the state can help you with visitation for your grandchildren. I'm sure you'd like to have them in your life, and don't need to wait five years to do it! I will never cease to be amazed at some people's cruelty (mean, ugly grandfather) and some (like yours) strength and compassion.Let me know if you would like me to do some research for you. I cannot think of a better way to spend my time.Hugs,Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
