My husband is coming around now and being supportive but for the first little while he wsa horrible. I actually told him to leave if he was so miserable. It was like he was mad that I had this, which is understandable, but he was mad at me! We have gotten through that and he is being as supportive as he knows how right now. He reminds me of Jerry, he keeps sending me more websites and articles. Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 My doctor stated that it was a great idea to join Weight Watchers. I follow the Winning Points program. I gained 60lbs from the prednisone in a year, but I have now lost 8lbs in 3 weeks on the program. I feel much better already.

[mailto:Homeykat@...]Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 8:35 AM Subject: [ ] today's the dayI have an appointment today at 12:45 EST with my GI. I am pretty calm about it, but just a little nervous. This is 'the appointment' where I get my treatment plan. I have a list of questions for her, will you all look through and add any that I am forgettig?1. How serious is this. (I have done my research but I need to hear this from her)2. I am going to make sure my exercise program is good.3. What foods, vitamins, medicines should I avoid.4. I am asking for a referral to a rheumatologist, who is going to monitor my meds while GI is on maternity leave.5. What warrants a call to the doctor. (I had a bloody nose and gums last week and didn't know if I should call or not.)6. Any chemicals or cleaning supplies (hey I can dream!) to avoid. I like to refinish antiques.7. Is it ok for me to join weight watchers.8. What are some bad reactions to meds that I would need to be aware of.She already told me I will be getting blood drawn at regular intervals, more frequent at first, but that we will eventually taper down on blood draws.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 started her residential program today. Bringing her down to the school was easier than I thought. We had no problems (knock on wood) with her when we had to leave her at the school. I just called her 'cottage' and they tell me that she is adjusting pretty well. ********Great news!!!!!!!!!!! I am glad it was such an easy transition. The only problem we had today was with her (now EX) psychiatrist. *********What a jerk - I can't stand people (including doctors) who think they are so much above it all. Their title is more important than your child. and you are right - he probably would have charged you for the missed appointment. The psych asked her if there was a psychiatrist on staff at the school. When he was told that there was, he said 'Have them call me' and HUNG UP THE PHONE! The nurse then called the school psychiatrist, who ordered the medication for (actuallly, he/she just ordered the Clonidine, since we had planned to take her off the Trileptal anyway (she had developed a tic from the medication in addition to the suspected liver problems - which btw we retested her for... I'm waiting to hear the results of the last set of tests.) Well, that's the latest from here. Patti R. **************Patti - I hope her results come back ok. That is scary. Sending good thoughts your way. Take care Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
