Dear ,

No, I don't mind anyone asking what Rx drugs I'm on because I take whatever

I have to take to 'keep going', and there is no such thing as " addiction " to

even morphine, if that's what it takes to keep you functioning. You cannot

become 'addicted' to any kind of drugs, unless you have had some kind of

'drug addiction problem, to like street drugs, in the past'! A FACT!!! My

drugs are managed by my internist and my neurologist / long-term pain

management doctor.

I take:

Vicodine - 22.5 per day (for pain)

Paxil - 40 MG per day (for depression)

Klonopin - 2 MG per day (for anxiety & seizure avoidance)

Ambien - 10 to 20 MG per day (for sleep)

Synthroid - .1 per day (for hypothyroidism)

Climara Patches - .1 per day (for menopause -- started at age 30)

I also take about 12 different 'natural supplements' in huge doses each day,

which I started after 3 years of antioxidant IV therapy nearly every day &

slowly graduated down to 2-3 time per week before I could tolerate the

amount of oral antioxidants I needed to take to maintain my health. I was

also having to take much heavier dosages of my Rx Meds until I could

tolerate enough of the supplements, and was able to dispense with taking a

couple of them.

You must remember, or know, that you will never heal well if you are in

pain, and after what most of us have been through, I do not get any kind of

" high " from any medication, and if you don't then your body needs that

medication to function. If my pain ever gets so bad that my neurologist

suggests putting in a morphine pump, I will not think twice about taking his

advice! Too many doctors, in many specialties, simply don't understand this

concept.

Hope this is helpful to many,

If you don't mind my asking what kind of pain meds are you taking? Do

you think that they affect your recovery? If so how? My reason for

asking is not because I am taking pain meds (I got off the vicodin

about 10 days or so ago) but because I have been on an anti anxiety

drug called clonazepam for about a year now. It helps me sleep at

night and I cannot seem to get off it. I want to be " all natural " but

I just cannot sleep well without these darn things. I toss and turn

and for a single mom with a career to get to everyday I just have to

sleep. I have tried weaning off, on weekends it works, but come the

weekdays bam....it hits me again and I take one....so really I am

wondering how much this little sleep pill is hurting in the way of my

healing! Thanks Martha for your posts..Godbless and hope your up and

about soon

Hi Martha... Ok here is the post I wrote. About Patties Court

date in Nevada..

Martha, or Patty or Anyone

How will this throw a kink in the Dow Settlement?

If this is going

against McGahn for faulty implants? Does Dow make

them then sale them

to the other manufactures? I guess I just thought Dow

made the

Silicone, and then the other Companies make the

implants from the

chemicals. Annnnnnnnnd I was assuming that this was a

seperate Class

Action Suit? But you know what they say about people

who ASSUME. *S*

It hit me hard when you mentioned that it could throw

a kink. I am in

the worst financial mess, and was so hoping for this

Settlement to be

done by the end of this year. I to am on Social

Security Disability

as my only source of income. And have Major Medical

Expences. I HATE

BIG CORPORATIONS! THIS IS SO UNJUST!

God Bless

Hi Jackie,

Anyone who wants a complimentary copy of "Betrayed" needs to send me a quick email with your mailing address. Although, I may already have your address, I can get mail out faster with a specific email request & address in front of me. I still trying to get caught up from 6-months ago, when I went in for my leg surgery, with an unexpected 3-month recovery period!

Blessings,

Martha, I would be very interested in attaining a copy of that book and if you could post the sites for the Canadian connection you are talking about. I'm interested in reading them. Thank you,

Jackie,

PS, how are you doing? How are you and your kids doing with the major adjustment recently to all of your lives? I hope you're all doing well.

Hi ,

We will be happy to send you a complimentary copy of the book, "Betrayed", written by Gloria Bywalec, RN & her sister, about Gloria's 'experience' with saline implants. Gloria's sister, Marie, is also an RN. If you would like to have a copy of this book, please confidentially send us your mailing address. There are also more stories & research on the "Canadian Connection" website, than your father may be able to read in the next 12-months. Pierre Blais, PhD, has startleing research done mostly on saline implants -- much of his work is on the Canadian Connection website, with some very gruesome pictures to show what he's talking about.

Does your father know that saline implants have the same pourus silicone shells as silicone implants? Does he know these pourus shells allow fluids to move in & out of the implants. Does he know the shelf life of medical grade saline is 77 degrees farenheit, for no more than 2-years? What does he suppose happens to these saline implants when placed into the body at 98.6 degrees farenheit? I hope he's also 'up' on physical biology & chemistry!

Blessings,
