Hi Patty and all,

I woke up this morning with one of those headaches that told me that my hubby had successfully passed on his cold. Now in all fairness I am taking alot of supplements that are probably creating a die off effect to some degree so this could very well be a reaction to my body cleaning itself out but oh what the hell.....I love to blame him for every thing anyways. lol Just kidding.

I'm a little more sluggish today and moody altho I did forget to take my supplements for depression. Patty I have been on Diflucan for the past 2 weeks, ran out about 3 days ago and noticed that the burning returned when I stopped so I went back to the docs today and got another prescription for 4 weeks this time. At the end of 4 weeks if we still haven't gotten this yeast somewhat under control I asked him if he would just scout around for a new body for me. He said he would see what he could do. I asked him for one that would make my brain work better. He's working on it.

Never done a liver cleanse but I think I'm about to and have actually been drinking lots of water with lemon in it which is supposed to help cleanse the liver. I'm thinking I need to do something. Have you done one?

I have not read that book yet but will maybe borrow my girlfriends and give it a whirl. Patty I have suspected Candida for the past year and a half and have tried to stay strict on the diet but must admit I can make it about 3 weeks tops being super strict and then I cheat or cave in for some treat that has flavor in it. I do feel alot better and more clear headed when I remain sugar free so that will be my goal for the next 2 months. I say 2 months because I got a call from my PS's office today saying that my explant has been approved by the medical board. They will pay for the removal. Sue is going to send me the consent form to sign and when she receives it back in their office she will book the surgery. She said it looks to be about 2 mos. I'm ok with that because I want this time to not only adjust but to also do a series of cleanses that will help make me stronger for surgery. I feel with the condition of my body right now if I went under anesthetic I would probably get very sick as a result. I've got 2 mos to get healthier and stronger for this blessed event or I might even book it for the end of May. My youngest step daughter is getting married May 26 and I'm making the wedding dress. If my health permits, I might just wait until that splendid event is finished so I can just relax and take care of myself. I know it would be best to have them out asap but if I can't get the surgery date until the beginning of May which is what Sue is indicating then I might as well work it around my schedule so I'm less stressed in the long run.

I also wanted to share this note I received from a lawyer I believe, to whom I had made an inquiry about the class action law suit against Dow Corning. She had originally told me to contact a lawyer here in Vancouver but because the closing date was April 2000 she didn't feel I could be a part of it. Here's something she sent me today.

Ms. Dyer,

Previously you contacted our office with respect to the Dow Class Action. At that time, we informed you that you had missed the deadline for filing an opt in form for the BC settlement. The deadline has now been extended to March 1/01. Please reply with your forwarding address if you would like our office to send you an opt in form.

Yours truly,

Joan

Class Action Assistant

I don't know where this will take me but I felt it was worth a try to perhaps get reimbursed some of my money I have put out if anything comes of it. I have forwarded my address to her. I probably could continue rambling here but I think I'll stop now and go to bed and read. Thanks for being here for me and anyone else who needs this support. It really means alot to me.....Jackie
