Guest guest Posted October 23, 2001 Report Share Posted October 23, 2001 Dave not just prayers but the reality that when it is your time the Lord wil take you regardless if you are ready or not or even if you feel you have taken precautions against it...He works in his own time so no matter how we may feel he will take us when he is ready but I feel especially us with Hep C were put on this earth for a special reason. Who knows maybe we were all put here to console one another...to meet new people or just to get out of a hum drum life...I know I needed this group when I found you all and my life was boring...now I get up each day having something to look forward to instead of just dwelling on my illness...My heart does go out to those lost in the WTC but I couldn't help but feel it was their time..God was there...My beleifs may not be the same as yours but this is how I feel so Anthrax and terrorists don't scare me..All I want is to see my children as often as I can in case he does take me before I feel I am ready!!!

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2001 Report Share Posted October 23, 2001 Me too Dave...I learned a long time ago not to question his works...I stay to myself...try not to cause pain to anyone...and take care of my own...I've gained a couple of pounds since off tx...I think I will have to try something instead of just letting this dragon regain strength..I can't let that happen...I'll try the milk thistle probably...I wish you luck with your treatment especially since you don't have that much longer left..It may not mean much but I am proud of you to keep hanging in there Dave..Wish I had the strength mentally to do the same.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2001 Report Share Posted October 23, 2001 I think I have accepted the fact that God's plan is way too complicated for me to figure out and that's ok, I just try to make sense of the world around me as best I can and go about my day to day life. My faith in God gives me comfort in the midst of a world mad with violence and hatred. -dz- --- Jannewilms42@... wrote: > Dave not just prayers but the reality that when it > is your time the Lord wil > take you regardless if you are ready or not or even > if you feel you have > taken precautions against it...He works in his own > time so no matter how we > may feel he will take us when he is ready but I > feel especially us with Hep > C were put on this earth for a special reason.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2001 Report Share Posted October 23, 2001 I agree Dave. I also think the good people far outnumber the bad. Keep spreading kindness and compassion - it's the only thing that makes sense.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2001 Report Share Posted October 23, 2001 We buy the chopped root from an herbal supplier and I grind it up in the electric coffee mill and fill the capsules myself. I have only heard good things about it.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2001 Report Share Posted October 23, 2001 Jan, I feel the same way that you do.... I also believe that no matter what we do when our time is up it is up... I try to keep myself eating healthy and not pushing it, but look at me... Don't smoke , I eat all the right foods and I get diaganosed with emphysema and hardening of the stomach Aorta.... Makes you wonder don't it? I would probably be dead if I smoked, drank and ate foods that I shouldn't... LOL...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 Depression is the worse part of it all.. I know I deal with many bouts of it myself..I'm not one who cries often but I do go without answering my door for days on end..Hubby and daughter are lucky at times to get very much out of me..That's the sad part..They deserve better than that..I think depression is the hardest to fight...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 Hey do you all want a good laugh this morning??? Here it goes...My brother is 40 yrs. old and he and my hubby were walking in the yard the other day and would you beleive a bird flew over and pooped on his arm??? I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants..He said "Sis I am 40 yrs. old and this is the first time it ever happened to me"..To get me back my neice has a taco bell dog too and it ran up to me the other day and peed on my leg....Geez what is the world coming to when a bird poops on one and a dog pees on the other..Needless to say my brother laughed at me too..Sorry but I was thinking of the Falcon pic!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 My godfather was put on a diet at one time and he came to our house saying how he hated having to starve himself..He always looked healthy and strong until that time...I remember me and my family speaking of how bad he looked when he left and my dad said he would rather die happy and full than miserable and thin....My godfather passed away 3 months later on Christmas Eve during a hunting trip of heart failure...Makes me think which one is best?? Do we go without to try to keep our bodies healthy and be aggrevated or do we make ourselves happy by doing and eating what we want..Like you said Dave "Look at the WTC victims" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 Dave I guess there comes a time when we need to put our feelings on hold just to let our loved ones know we do love them and it's not their fault we are like this...As far as taking anti-depressants.I have quit that too but really feel I need to get back on them regardless of how they make me feel...Maybe I'd be more sociable more often!!! I can remember a time that as soon as my hubby would leave for work I'd lock my gate until he came home and not answer my phone either..He just didn't understand..I did that for 4 days...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 I hate to admit I am one of THOSE people that laugh at others when something happens..I know it's wrong but I am also first to laugh ay myself when I trip or a dog pees on me...I have never been zapped by a bird though..If you knew how my brother is..He doesn't get upset and is very slow speaking..It was funny just to hear him talk about it..I laughed and told him I would have given anything to see it happen to him..Well God don't sleep..that's when the dog got me...It was still funny though........

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 Maybe he didn't inhale but didn't he get the second hand smoke???My daughter was on my hubby about him drinking a beer the other day..She is 11 and in the dare program...She told him since he drank he was on drugs because it was the same thing..He was getting aggrevated but yesterday he didn't drink one!!!

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 Yes but only 3 a day. I was not part of the trial and have always paid full price for it (around $80/month) I take the same amount of milk thistle but probably should take more. The only other med I take is Levoxyl for an underactive thyroid. I use soy milk on my cereal and like it a lot and also use stevia. I have been taking indomethacin (anti-inflammatory) for painful gout or tendonitis in my elbow. Want to know what brand of under arm deodorant I use also? :-) Have a nice day.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 We sure do. Depression is something I have had to deal with and it is one of the worst things I have encountered since contracting this disease. Look on the bright side.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 You have the strength to do what you think is best for you and your family. We know the reactions to this medication vary widely and some people's bodies tolerate it better than others. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with mental toughness. I think that the mental toughness comes in keeping a positive attitude in spite of all the troubles we find ourselves facing -dz- --- Jannewilms42@... wrote: > Me too Dave...I learned a long time ago not to > question his works...I stay to > myself...try not to cause pain to anyone...and take > care of my own...I've > gained a couple of pounds since off tx...I think I > will have to try something > instead of just letting this dragon regain > strength..I can't let that > happen...I'll try the milk thistle probably...I wish > you luck with your > treatment especially since you don't have that much > longer left..It may not > mean much but I am proud of you to keep hanging in > there Dave..Wish I had the > strength mentally to do the same. > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 I think you're right about good people. We witnessed some of that in the wake of the WTC tragedy. We saw how much we really do love each other. This coming from New York, which is not really known for being overly friendly. Random acts of kindness can do a lot for us. -dz- --- Dennis <dhuber@...> wrote: > I agree Dave. I also think the good people far > outnumber the bad.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 I guess we all know that our bodies will not last forever. We can do certain things to give our bodies the best chance we can, but think of all the people that were in perfect health on 9/11 and were wiped out. I remember talking to my Grandpa on the phone one Thanksgiving day, he had been out shoveling snow at 86 years old. When I teased him about it, he told me he wanted to make sure he died in good health. He passed away about 2 months later. -dz- --- diane214@... wrote: > Jan, > I feel the same way that you do....
