Nick are you guys moving to seattle?

Stress

Hey all, boy, this week has been tremendously stressful - we're

moving, we're selling our house, I'm still recovering - for me.

I've found my self falling off the bandwagon (so to speak) a bit.

Usually not when around the other 1/2 but when on my own - I find

myself not stopping right when I feel full. I don't know why

really. An old habit perhaps.

Any suggestions for how to deal with stress when it's blustery

outside and you can't do the gym thing (cuz you're moving)...

Thanks, I hope everyone is doing well!

I agree! actually My Christmas vacation was relaxing, even though I

worked.(my kids were at home, I had a chance to sleep in).

I had an easier time eating the last couple of weeks than I did for

about 4 weeks prior. Today they started back to school(stress), I

found it more difficult to eat. Stress, what it does to a body, WOW!

Jan, sorry to hear about your accident! I was in a snow-related accident a couple weeks ago, followed three days later by hitting a deer in the same car! (Been driving in this state for almost 20 years and NEVER had a snow-related accident OR a deer-hit, and then I get both in three days! ARGH!)

I suggest some meditation, prayer, massage therapy, aromatherapy, or anything you can do to try to release your stress (for me it's reading, too -- I love to read.)

I hope things ease up on you soon!Debbi in Michigan

, I've only ever had "spasm pain" NCCPs or the "something's stuck and I'm trying to push it down" pains. But sometimes a spasm pain will manifest in different ways..... in my mouth/tongue, in my shoulder, in my ribs, behind my sternum, or up my throat.

One of my first symptoms was a feeling of pressure on my "Adam's apple" area -- I think it's still there but I'm just used to it, but I still can't wear any shirt that actually touches the front of my neck (turtlenecks are totally out of the question.)

I hope that feeling goes away soon!Debbi

Has anyone ever been so stressed that you feel like your esophagus is hurting the way you get stomach pains when you're upset? I don't know if it's in my head, but I've been upset/stressed for about 24 hours and now I feel like I'm getting esophagus pains (as opposed to stomach pains). It's not a spasm though, it feels different. Anyway, just wanted to know if anyone else ever experienced anything like that. I guess I can coin the phrase..."sick to my esophagus."

Yeah, can't see myself being able to eat anything today....

Maybe it is a spasm just in a way that I've never felt it before..

It's a twinge or sick feeling in the center of my chest. I'm sure

it's stress related.

I also get it in the mouth and jaw. That's usually where I feel it

first and gives me the signal that one is coming.

Just great...like I need any stress a less than 2 weeks before my

surgery. I'm sure it'll pass once I relax a bit.

Thanks for you input.

,

My stress goes to my jaw too (used to especially while sleeping). It

pops and used to get stuck but hasn't lately. I guess it's TMJ...not

very comfortable. Lots of things must tense up when we're stressed. =

Hi! I am sick to my esophagus to. I feel like I always have to think

about it. I hate deciding what to eat. I have had surgery and a

dilation and my GI wants a motility study. He also put me on Bentyl

and it has helped. Mine does work sometime. I am not near as bad as

some. I am in Houston and had the same surgeon as but I can " t

find . Love the group.

Hi Pat,

I had to cut down to part-time - the fatigue was just too much. I

was dozing while driving to/from work and knew I had to change that

fairly quickly. It has made an immense change as I no longer come

home and go straight to bed. I'm still very tired, but am able to

do light chores, or go out to dinner instead.

I work 30 hours per week and that many only due to needing medical

insurance. My doctors want me to quit altogether, but being single

and having no other income or insurance to rely on, that's

impossible. I find it ridiculous that even though you qualify for

SSDI, you cannot get Medicare for 2 years - makes no sense to me at

all. If I quit and attempted to live off SSDI alone, I would no

longer be able to afford medical insurance, nor my medications. My

medications alone cost more than what SSDI would give me monthly.

Good luck,

Sandy C.

Welcome Pat. Lucky you to be able to retire in July!!! I have 3 more years

before I feel able to retire, although sometimes I think it might be

sooner...however, each day brings a new adventure...

Stress can cause fatigue, but so can the medication. Give yourself time to

adjust. If there is any chance in retiring early go for it...at least I

would!

Debby

[ ] Stress

I am newly diagnosed with AIH and taking 30 mg Pred. per day. My job is

unbelievable stressful, and before my diagnosis I was planning to retire in

July. To keep up with the job responsibilities, I work 45 to 55 hours per

week and am often very fatigued. I would like to hear from other people if

they have recovered more quickly when they have tried to minimize stress in

their lives. If minimizing stress is helpful, I would consider retiring a

couple of months early. I am curious if many people changed or cut down on

their employment and if these efforts were helpful.

Thanks so much. This web sight is a God Send!

Pat

Hi Amber

I'm glad you joined the list.

If you haven't already done it you can read a lot about EFT at

http://emofree.com/

Try downloading the manual and reading it. There is a lot to learn

from this web site.

Could you tell us what you are feeling? It may help us to make some

suggestions.

Do you mind if I ask if you are angry? If so who are you angry at?

In other words describe a little about what is going on.

I don't know much about low thyroid issue but I know low adrenals

effect our reaction to stress. I have been through what you are

saying.Light,noice sensitivity,etc.So,I know what you mean. I think

you need some adrenal support.

Best wishes.

If stress can cause the disease to start, I am the exception! I was enjoying

life to the fullest with no worries and few problems when (and for a

considerable time before) I was diagnosed. However, I DO know that stress can

do strange things to us and that its effects are manifested in different people

in different ways. Having a positive attitude never hurts! Bettie Jane Grant,

Stress

Hi Folks - I give " being stressed out " a whole new dimension!!!

Lately I have been hearing a lot about whether or not such a situation

affects our CLL/SLL status. I fervently HOPE not, as I should be dead by now.

But I'd be most pleased (and a little worried) about hearing some opinions

about whether or not being a nutsy person, worrying about everything, might

have an impact on starting the disease, or continuing it. The medical

professionals are still out on this one. At least, I have not heard a definitive

opinion.

What do you think? Maybe we can introduce this onto the topics at the LRF in

October.

June 12, 2005

To all- I firmly believe that, at least in my case, stress was the

underlying factor for the explosion of my disease. Would I have

gotten it sooner or later anyway? Yes - absolutely. But I believe

it was lingering in there ready for a break down in my system to let

loose. 9-11 occurred,my oldest son met with some rather serious

circumstances two days later, my mom, who was then in critical

terminal condition,died by February proceeded by my stepfather

telling me that he no longer wanted to be a part of our family after

30 years as my " dad " . The lumps on my neck surfaced sometime

between October and November and progressed rather rapidly after my

diagnosis in December a year later.

Thankfully, its now under control, but I try to remain calmer about

things, taking one day at a time, and stopping to smell the roses.

Just my story, but to me, obviously stress induced cancer.

Thanks for listening.

Bonnie,

I fully connect with your mail, even my 'case situation' was of a different

nature nevertheless I had tremendous stress over the time and you express it

clear and well, how the underlying factor was there. " stress was the

underlying factor for the explosion of my disease. Would I have gotten it

sooner or later anyway? Yes - absolutely. But I believe it was lingering

in there ready for a break down in my system to let loose. "

, I do not think worrying and stress are the same thing, although I know

that excessive worrying can cause stress. I have worried about things during

my life time, but never was stressed by the worries, simply sorted out

things so that the worries were no longer there.

Stress comes suddenly due to unexpected circumstances just being dropped on

top of you, some of them might have a solution and you are able to deal with

them and stop the stressful situation, but others the problem has not got a

simple solution and the stress factor stays until it gets sorted.

It is said that divorce and moving house are the most stressful things in

life, according to the experts. However I moved house across continents 14

times in 17 years at one time, and I do not remember being stressed by it, I

simply got very organized and dealt with each move in a simple manner.

My divorce was also very smooth and amicable, the level of stress was not

what I consider large. Yet the legal matter, over my building etc. was

extremely stressful even I knew I was on my rights, the constant bulling and

pressing over " a prescriptive right of way " on something very important for

me, brought up stress levels I was no aware could exist, feeling inside a

deep hole with no way out. The amount of work I did consulting legal experts

and professionals in case we had to go to Court, etc. was something I could

have done without at that time in my business life.

So like Bonnie, even I might still got CLL, those two to three years prior

to dx were more stressful than I think my body could cope with.

I think if one worries about something, it is best to deal with the solution

so that the worry does not become a stress factor in ones life.

But we can not do this on unexpected things, like Bonnie describes, those

type of stresses come from the outside and one does not have any influence

or possibility to stop them before they happen. So dealing with that type of

stress requires more skill and outside help.

Stopping to smell roses and such things that gives us pleasure, helps

tremendously in the managing of stress. But there is a lot more that can

also help dealing with it.

Thanks for being there, support has always helped and it feels good when you

are on the receiving end of the support.

To add my two cents, I also believe that stress played a part in the

onset of my disease. My two young step kids moved in full time, my

mother was diagnosed with SLL and lung cancer, then was hit by a kid on

a bike and I had to run between the two houses, then my college aged son

came home with a heroin addiction. I had been diagnosed with some sort

on inflamatory arthritis and was scheduled to have a knee replacement

two days after my mom passed, but it was cancelled because the doctor

was suspecious that something else (SLL) was going on. That was last

year and it was progressing very slowly. Last September my husband

moved out of the house blaming my son (but was really having an affair)

He is back home now but I feel like the nodes in my neck are bigger.

I'll see July 8th when I go in for my next dr. apt.

Right now I am meditating and doing accupuncture hoping it will help.
