Hi ,

My internist has frequently suggested the Maalic (sp?) Acid to take in

conjunction with all the Glucosamine Complex w/ condroitin, which I take

daily. He recommends the Maalic Acid when I'm in a 'flare', like the past 4

weeks, since sugery on my leg. There is only one private pharmacy in Dallas

that stocks it, and there's another that will order it for me, yet it takes

at least 10 days to get it when it has to be ordered. I've never found it

in any health food store or chain pharmacy.

I hope you asked Dr. Kolb and/or Dr. Feng about the Mederma. My daughter

who is one of us, plus being a Women's Healthcare Nurse Practitioner

suggests this for patients like herself who heal in keloids, or want to

reduce scarring ASAP. I will try it on my recent leg surgery if this 'mess'

ever starts healing properly, after 2 skin grafts.

Next year WILL be better for all of us, if we all work on making it that

way!

Please stay in touch, and know how much many of us are praying and 'pulling'

for you each day. I continue to think your daily postings are good therapy

for you as well as many of us!

Blessings & Have a Wonderful New Year,

Martha M.

Hi , Glad you saw your doc today. Do you recall I told you I've been suffering with a chronic yeast infection for almost 2 yrs now? Well I've never had a yeast infection in my life and I've tried most everything and it only subsides but never clears up completely. When I started doing some research on the net before Xmas I started reading about the bacteria associated with the implants and thought ah ha! Maybe there is my culprit. I don't know. I also wondered if I have helped to keep some of the symptoms at bay due to the amount of probiotics I take which are helping to control the yeast. It also helps me with the spacey feeling and brain fog. It might just help you if there is any residual bacteria hanging on during recovery.

As far as the coffee goes, I can relate. If you find your headache lasts too long or gets too bad, just have half a cup of coffee. Thats what my naturopath doc told me once when I was trying to cut it out. It didn't last long tho and I'm still drinking a couple of cups in the morning and yes it also upsets my stomach. It just might be contributing to your nausea.

Good for you with the walk. Your on the right track kiddo and with each passing day that you feel stronger you will see more clearly what a good decision you have made for yourself. Take care,

Jackie

again with another update....and just some more thoughts. First of all I spoke with Dr.Kolb again and she seems to feel my spaceyness could be related to yeast...but I don't know, I never ever get yeast infections EVER! Anyhow she told me about some stuff called super Malic but I cannot find it at the health food store near by me, I will ask her again about it I guess. I went for a nice little 2 mile walk and it felt so good to get some fresh air and get my heart rate up a bit. Dr Feng said as long as I didn't swing my arms it would be ok. Today I didn't get any nausea and I didn't drink any coffee like I usually do and I am wondering if the two thnings could be connected? WHo knows, I am still suffering from achey feet and hands but my head seemed pretty good today and that was nice, I just hope these things all go away in time and I am trying hard to be patient and also taking time to really rest these days that I am off for. I came home and took a nice long nap and now I am up again and have a head ache and craving some coffee.......thats a tough one to give up. I am going to try though! well hope everyone is doing ok. I for one am still depressed over everything, but feel I made the right decision and it is time to move on.......thanks for letting me vent again. Next year is going to be better !Oh I bought some mederma for my scars so I will see how that works out.

I am still hanging in there and I have been out getting some power

walking in so that feels great. I have my energy back......I did 5

miles today...so I am feeling great as far as my energy levels..I

even stayed up last night till 12am after being up at 5am that

morning, so that is awesome for me! Unfortunatly I still have my

spacy head....I am embarking on this detox diet that I got from a

friend, and that is similiar to Dr.Kolbs diet on her website, though

a little more strict. I will try to be strong to stick to it, so far

I have given up allot of things, caffiene, pain killers, dairy

products, and now I am really going to try not to eat much but fruit

and veggies and some grains, soy milk, and herbal teas, oh yes and

tons of water. I will keep you guys posted on my progress.

Thanks for caring.

I would like to hear from ladies that had a verticle lift how long it

took for the scars to fade? Thanks,

So glad to hear your getting your energy back . You sound like your coming along quite nicely. Good for you. I look forward to that day when I can make it past 9pm again. Good luck with the detox kiddo. I'm part of your cheering section!
