Guest guest Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 I'm sorry Jan but I can't come down right now. Stake it up if it isn't broken off and give it some water and maybe a little liquid fert. Talk to it and think healing thoughts.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 Jackie they usually put you on anti-depressants when you get on treatment so I don't understand that decision at all..I had to be put on them to be on treatment like most of us have been..I wish you all the lluck there is..

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 It's a tough road.My thoughts are prayers are with you. Remember that hcv is a slowly progressing disease and many people, for one reason or another cannot take this treatment. Even for those of us who do, we risk certain other dangers. They are constanly working on new, more "user friendly" (you can tell I'm a programmer) treatments. This may end up being a good thing for him. Good luck. -dz- bluesparkling_angel <bluesparkling_angel@...> wrote: Well we spent the whole day at the hospital tests tests and more tests tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 Hi Jackie I'm sorry to hear that is having so much trouble. If I remember right isn't he being treated by the VA? If so you might have to write a letter to your congressman to get help on the hepc treatment. They gave me the run around for 2 years about treatment until I wrote my congressman. I was on treatment within a couple of months after that. As always I will keep you and in my prayers.

There are plenty of low-cal snack hints in the Files section in the text files. Remember, even when you finally lose the weight, you'll be on restricted calories (aka Maintainence) for the rest of your life if you want the weight to stay off. Don't be miserable for the rest of your life!

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hi Kim! I have to agree with the other posts.. if you are having a hard time between lunch and dinner increase your snack a little and decrease the amount of food and dinner, or maybe use one of your after dinner snack fruits and just have the ice cream. I know that if I am STARVED at dinner time I tend to over eat. I will pick at food as I'm cooking and that is just extra unwanted calories! When I was growing up I never ate breakfast as a teenager, and alot of times I would skip lunch at school, or make bad choices (pop and chips). I would eat a lot after school and then at dinner and then again before bed. After I moved out on my own I was still skipping breakfast and would eat lunch around 1pm and then dinner about 6-7pm sometimes later depending on what was going on. When I started seeing a nutritionist she said no wonder I was gaining weight, I was eating like sumo wrestlers do... they don't eat all day then eat a bunch of food and go to bed. Her point was they didn't kick their metabolism in until it was time to shut it off again and then ate at that point. This time I am really REALLY trying to get some food in and I know when I eat breakfast I am hungry before lunch and that if I eat a snack I'm not as bad, that depending on my lunch alot of times I'm hungry before dinner and a snack helps. IF I miss my snack or it isn't big enough I will over eat or make bad choices. One other thing you might want to try and it does help some... it has been said that a lot of times thirst signals are mixed with hunger signals. Try a glass of water and if you are still hungry 20 minutes later go ahead and have a snack if you are feeling hungry. I hope that helps a bit! I'm still waiting for my food mover.... I am hoping it arrives sometime this week. I am thinking it should though.... a (who overslept and is way behind in her morning schedule!) > I stayed on my food plan today, but it was uncomfortable.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Tony, I've been on metho for like 8 years now... so far I've done ok with it... I'm at 16 mg once a week in pill form. IT has kept me steady a long time and apparently my liver is doing ok with it. I guess different people have different experiences though... But for me it has worked..... I hope you get this dr situation worked out.. I know they are CLUELESS!!!! at times.

I mean i know how i feel, why do they have to have me travel 300 klm to look at swollen bits? when they could take my word for it anyway, In the appointment they revealed that they had pre-established a proposed treatment b4 i had even arrived.... so whats the point in me being there? to pick up a script, do they know that the effort costs me dearly and i lose heaps of capacity to move, and its pain related, i was told in no uncertain terms that my GP was responsable for everything other than my Rhuematological concerns. I am bed bound. Butt Kando, it costs me time and motion. Thanks for listening Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Tony, The main problem I've had with metho is diarrhea. This happens pretty much when I don't eat when I take the pills. Before metho I was getting so I couldn't chew.. my jaw joints were going...and my knees too.... Like i said it is different for everyone.....but i've not had any major problems.> Liz ~~~~~~ " The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born (extraordinarily) sensitive.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 I know what you mean - I have 3 meals down now, and so far so good for me. I don't post a whole lot, but I love to read for the encouragement. I've been through one challenge last summer and actually reached my comfort zone in 6 weeks, without even going completely by the book. I tried to do a second " challenge " but my heart just wasn't in it. Someday I'd love to be about 15-16% body fat (right now somewhere in the low 20's), but I need to get myself in the right and positive mindset. So today I'm like you - just going meal by meal, trying to make it through to the next meal without bingeing on something. This time of day is the hardest for me with that so I'll try and keep myself busy and drink a diet soda to quench my cravings. I did my LBWO this morning, but the ab part got interruped by my kids. So on to HIIT tomorrow. I've decided I want to run a 10K in June, so I think on my non-HIIT days I'm going to do long slow runs and see how that goes. Work my way up to 6.2 miles (eeks!). Either that or just train for the run and axe the HIIT portion for now. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for posting, Jill!

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 I am glad you made it through the day ! I am glad it wasn't as stressful on you as you had thought it would be. As for the cute guy you should have gotten his number!!!! hehehehe -- Today Today I went with my mom to the hospital so they could mark her for the radiation stuff....I waited in the waiting room for like an hour and a half....the ride to the hospital was fine...we blared music and stuff...got my mind off of things...at the hospital, sitting there was just really weird...there was only one other person in the waiting room at first......a really cute guy....lol....now I know I shouldn't 'pick' guys up at the hospital but he was cute...and he kept looking at me....but I'm shy so I didn't even say hi or acknowledge him...he was apparently with his parents I think.....after a while there were more people there...so I was comfortable reading my book....I brought along a classic that I've loved forever..."The Secret Garden"..by Frances Hodgson Burnett My mom starts a huge round of radiation tomorrow...each day she has to go to the clinic and get it....they are centering the radiation on her hip, tail bone, and spine...because as of now that's where the cancer is I'm not so stressed now...like I was....but after...it was just 'okay, not as a big a deal as I thought'...still a big deal but not traumatic right now.......One thing I hated about waiting was the chair...it was totally not comfortable to read in....and I went and got a soda and it cost almost $2...for a tiny soda....my family is nowhere near rich....we didn't even have enough money to put gas into the car ....my mom had to borrow some from my cousin....but my mom had a few dollars of my money left(I gave her $23 for groceries when she didn't have any money)....and that's how I got a soda I really dislike hospitals....but I've been in them so many times...it's like a routine....but I hate the routine...I don't want it to be routine ~~~~ *** ~~~ *** ~~~ *** ~~~~ The Being Sick Community Message Archives-/messages Chat:- Scheduled Chats at /chat Bookmarks:- Add a website URL you have found useful. /links Personal Complaints or problems:- Please contact a moderator email: -owner Subscription Details:- 1) Individual email - means that every email sent to the list you receive. 2) Daily Digest - sends you 25 messages in one single email for you to browse.
