Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Thanks, ! Sorry I am just now replying. I've been trying to slow down on the emails because of the past few difficult days. (Just replying here and there..) ~ Anyway, I understand exactly about tardiness, and think it was nice of you to go ahead and welcome me. I'm just like that. Sometimes there's so many messages from the list that I either unfortunately forget or can't catch up with. Or like you, I just can't remember. Yes, I do live in the Houston area, but hopefully not for long! Even though I dislike Texas, a big Texas welcome (thank you?) to you the same. :-P Sincerely, On Tue, 9 Oct 2001 23:24:01 -0700 " " <lisarich.com@...> writes: > , > > Please forgive my tardiness in welcoming you to also. > Sometimes I forget who I've welcomed etc. I see you have posted > numeous times, so you can see how helpful our members can be. > > I also noticed you live in the Houston area.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 Brook, What's wrong with Texas? Of course if I lived in the Houston area, I probably would feel the same way! My stepdaughter lives there with her family, needless to say, my husband does the driving. ----- Original Message ----- From: <sylvershine@...> < > Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2001 1:21 PM Subject: Re: [] To > > Thanks, !

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2001 Report Share Posted December 3, 2001 hi lisa thankyou for your reply it is lovely to know that i am not alone. thanks for your advice i will certainly take it on board. i hope your surgery was a success, do you have to have any more, as this was one of my concerns that i may have to have repeated surgery in a feqw years down the line. as i am getting a bit tired of all the surgery, especially as i two small children to consider. they are really understanding " when mummy cant do something with them " probably got used to it. my husband is really good, but has to work away a lot so i have to get on with it. i do have a great network of friends who rally around me, so i am one of the lucky ones. thanks again for replying, hope you get this message as i am not very confident at using e-mails bye for now .

Hello Carolyn, Welcome to . I just wanted to share with you that I have had both of my feet operated on within one year. I was going to have Triple Arthrodesis, but after researching and consulting my orthopedic surgeon he decided on soft tissue surgery. So far, it has worked out well for me. He cut my Achilles tendons, lowered my arches, broke my big toe and pulled the front of my foot up and placed a screw in the bone to hold it in place. I was in several casts for 8 weeks. Crutches and I did not get along, so I used a walker and hopped behind it, and I also used a wheelchair. May I suggust prior to your surgery, you need to speak with your anesthesiologist and explain you have CMT. I did not have any after effects of the anethesia. I know you are nervous, but if you truly believe in your doctor then go for it. Recovery is not a cake walk, but you can do it. I did not have alot of pain, it was just trying to carry on with my family's daily life that was difficult. Good luck to you and if you have any questions, please ask.

Sometimes it gets to me, but a lot of times I just ignore it. I guess i'm getting mellow in my old age! C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 I am seeing this doctor, I do not work for him. I found out about him from my Aunt who had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome- she lives in Texas. He treated her and basically returned her to health, she was very sick. She did not have mold exposure. I finally went to see him out of desperation and doctors not knowing what to do. All they could do was give me medications for the nerve pain- I would just have to live with it.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hi , Good to hear from you again! I think about you often and I'm glad things are going very well for your children. Glad to hear that Bridgette is coming around! That is fantastic news! I just had 4 molars extracted over a week and a half ago because of fractures in my amalgam fillings. I ended up developing infection in those molars! I'm still recovering from a bad infection. I can't wait to get all of the amalgams out. I still have lower molars with amalgam fillings. I think the fillings played a role in my sinuses getting all wacked out. - it's possible I believe. I'm planning on a get together Mom's night out and I hope we can all get together in Mid June. Keep in touch, n johnandkimmyw@... writes: I'm (32), my husband's name is (almost 28) and he's a Marine. I'm a SAHM. I have 2 daughters... is almost 4 and typical. Brigette is 25 months and diagnosed with moderate autism at 16 months. When she was diagnosed, she was at her worst..completely lost in her own world and hardly any eye contact..lots of stimming. She's improved a lot over the year. She has great receptive language. That child understands everything we say. But her expressive language is very poor. She seems very alert and attentive. She's never lost in her own little world anymore. Everytime we talk about her, we catch her looking at us. She absolutely adores her sister. In fact, we just discovered this last night... is the only one Brigette will allow to feed her. How weird is that? Everytime we pick her up, she immmediately searches for and starts laughing and babbling and jumping up and down with excitement. She has really poor oral motor skills. She hates anyone going near her face, especially her mouth. But we're working on this. She's the sweetest, most affectionate little thing. She loves being held and kissed and hugged. She never has temper tantrums or meltdowns. She's very easy going. She's been this way since she was born. She started regresssing around her 8th or 9th month. I really feel chelation is bringing her back to us. I had 8 amalgams for 20+ years that were breaking and leaking when I was pregnant with her. I remember a tooth breaking and chewing on the filling and swallowing it. I also had a tooth with amalgam pulled during her pregnancy. I had no idea they were dangerous. I think her 8 month DPT shot sent her over the edge. I never got her MMR shot or any others after 15 months. Anyway, I've been a member for a while now but just wanted to re-introduce myself. I think it would be a great idea if we all got together one day, like Gail suggested. n, you should set this up. lol. Sincerely, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Really ? Wow, Did you have extractions? My Oral surgeon did not do a safe removal protocol for extractions, I honestly didn't think about that myself, I didn't know there could be a problem with dental extraction removal of amalgam but now that you mention it..it worries me. I still have a fever and it's been over a week and a half since I had them removed. I thought extraction would be the end of amalgam worries. Thanks for mentioning it. ~ n johnandkimmyw@... writes: OOOOOOOOOOOOh n, I hope they used a safe removal protocol. My dentist didn't and I got very sick afterwards.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 OOOOOOOOOOOOh n, I hope they used a safe removal protocol. My dentist didn't and I got very sick afterwards. Of course he said amalgams are safe and I then asked him to explain the sudden onset of lupus and autism. Kinda strange how my whole life I was perfectly healthy and then developed lupus after my amalgams broke and were replaced. Oh, but it's genetic. well, sorry, not in my family. neither is autism. If you start feeling bad, you may want to consider chelation. And lots of vitamins, especially c. you could start with dmsa which chelates mercury,lead, arsenic and other metals but also essential minerals too. You can buy it at www.vrp.com. They come in 100 mg capsules but you'll want to divide it up and start at about 25 mg every 4 hours...for like 4 days on and 11 days off. And load up on vitimins and minerals while chelating. I'm sure your dentist also told you they were safe. But I bet he doesn't use amalgams anymore. I'd like a mom's night out but I also want to meet all the kids too. Talk to you soon. Tell Davey we said 'hi'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 ok, i'm dumb. i don't know why i was thinking you had just the amalgams removed instead of the whole tooth. if you just had the amalgams removed, that's when it's really dangerous because the fillings go flying around everywhere and you're exposed to all the vapors. i remember picking the fillings out of the back of my mouth when he was drilling them out. he didn't use a rubber dam or anything. as for teeth extractions, it's not AS bad but you're still exposed to the vapors with them jerking around to get the tooth out. sorry, didn't mean to scare you. i have a bad memory, lol. but since you did have amalgams and were exposed to vapors for how many years you had them, chelation would probably benefit, especially if you start getting ill and can't figure out why. but if you have a strong immune system, your body will probably remove them itself with no ill effects.
