Wow your symptoms are just like me! I even had the damned plantar

fascitis, if that is really what the hell it is. How is yours doing?

I got these great orthotics and am getting myself back into some

running slowly again, they help allot. WOW you had 11% body fat? Is

that safe? LOL. I would be happy to be between 16-18, right now I am

at 19% and think that is pretty good, when I hear you were that low I

think I must be doing something wrong. LOL. Anyhow, I am sorry to

hear of your illness, I can relate, I have been there. It gets

better. I am really about cured, I consider myself cured if it was

not for the plantar fascitis really that is all that is left of all

those awful symptoms you listed. I never gained much weight, because

I was too anal about it, but I do find it hard for me to get much

lower than what I am now, kind of stuck here ! I am hungry all the

time. Anyhow, I know you will get better, and better. Give it time

and try to detox as much as possible and to take lots of supplements.

hang in there

hugs

Come by and pick me up in Las Vegas anytime! I would love to take a little vacation. It sound beautiful there. I've met 2 of the girls from this group in Las Vegas, and it was so nice to meet them in person. It made me feel even closer to them. If you or anyone want to come visit, we have extra room for you! I hope that you don't mind a 2 yr. old boy asking you to play dinosaurs with him.

It's a very nice idea-this group has really helped me to!

Love, Daryl

Funny metal taste in mouth!

I was catching up on all the posts and I couldn't belive the posts about the metal taste. I had that when I had implants and never contected it to them. Since explanting it has never come back so I forgot about it. But I remember that I would brush my teeth all the time thinking that might help. (it didn't) I do remember that at the same time I had the taste I was having trouble with my kidney. I don't know if there is a contection or not.There are so many knew faces in the group, Im sorry that I have not gotten to know you all.I too would love to be involved in a book. Months ago I even sujested that all it would have to be is our stories, in our own words. I have printed out some of our stories and handed them to my son's girl friends and there friends who have been thinking about implants. knock on wood but so far it has been enough to stop any of them from getting implants.I had and ultra sound yesterday on my thyroid. (its a little bumpey)the doc. said that she's not really alarmed by what she saw. But my blood work did so high antiobodies to my thyroid. So she said that I am in the early stages of thyroid diease. I told her that I belived that I had cause this by having implants. She looked at me real funny and said that there is no way, and that many womem get this and it was just going to happen to me anyway. She was not very open. Very young doctor real cute and real little and she said that even she has to be on thyroid. (Maybe if she hadn't gotten implants her thyroid would be normal, yes you heard me right, she had implants)As to getting together, I would love to met you all. Anywhere would be fine with me.My family has a vacation home up in Sun Valley, Idaho and I would be happy to have everyone there. It will sleep 20 in beds. I know that lives north of Sun Valley and Patty and I think Daryle are in Las Vegas, I drive right thru Vegas on my way to Sun Valley and I could pick you girls up on the way.The hard part is that we are scattered all over the country. Finding one place that is convincent for everyone will be hard. Maybe we could have a West Coast and East coast, and plan for the same time and the two groups could talk on the phones.I will try to stay more involved. This group has been a great source of comfort for me. Cricket

thanks - no I haven't tried the blood cleanse yet but it sounds like a good idea. I have an appt w/ an infectious disease doc on the 22nd and I was hoping he could get to the bottom of the sinus stuff. It is really bad now - I couldn't sleep on my left side last night as my face hurt so bad. what kind of doc did your bloodm analysis?

thanks for the support

That is so great that your brother has the same name as my little guy. My husband is a musician and always plays a song called "The Mighty Quinn" and that's where we got the name from. How did your Mom decide on that name?

Love, Daryl

Daryl

I just read your post where you mentioned your son's name. QuinnMy brothers name is Quinn. Its not a very common name, in fact I don't think I've ever heard it used except for a last name before.Through out his life, my brother had done very well with his name. people in buisness always remember him because of his name.Cricket

gosh - that is so sad.... I thought the same thing when I got mine - if I didn't like them or if I got sick - no problem. I would just take them out. Too bad it was too late - once I got sick there was no turning back. I am 1 year post explant and am still sick. How naive I was - your sons girlfriend, too. hopefully she won't get sick but if she does there goes another young life wasting the best years of it, too. I hate to see it happen but some people you just can't get through to. it is just too bad.

was it you that knew of the doc in CA that did the mail order live cell tests? Someone mentioned having a kit mailed out to take blood and mailing it back and getting a report- I thought maybe it was you but I am not sure. I am looking for that info as I am thinking about testing Logan to see what is going on there - it is so horrible having him sick and wondering if I could have stopped it. It may have nothing to do w/ me or my illnesses but I would like to know for sure so I can stop beating myself up, so to speak. I have not mentioned this to his pediatrician as I am not sure if they will give me the "eye roll" too, as many of my doctors have. It was just in the last few months after reading up more on it that I have thought maybe it has something to do w/ the implants. I don't know.

I would definitely like to have him tested to see if maybe he also has silicone disease or candida so he can get treatment. I spoke w/ Dr. Kolb this morning about possibly making an appt & flying up there - maybe I should take him up there also.

My Doctor has never mentioned doing tests on blood sent to him. I

will call and ask if this can be done. I will let you know what I

find out. There must be someone in your area that is doing this.

Check the yellow pages, and call around.

Oh wow - are you serious? i would love to go to Sun Valley but would hate to burden anyone.... you don't need the miles for yourself? Please let me know as I would love nothing more than to make this trip but my plane ticket was looking to be over $500 and with me being out of work I just can't afford that right now... I can afford food & stuff but the ticket was gonna be the killer. I didn't mean to put a guilt trip on anyone about not being able to go - I didn't mean to come off like that but I was just a little bummed that I wasn't going to be able to go as I was looking forward ot meeting everyone. I would love the miles IF AND ONLY IF you don't need them and it won't be a burden to you financially at all. Wow this is exciting.... let me know if you are willing to give up the miles and if they will work from Tampa Int'l and i will cook for you every night to make up for it and pay you back when i can and offer you free room & board to Fla for a vacation if you would like! Please let me know... you are such a wonderful loving lady to make this offer to us!!

thanks

Ok- I am a travel "idiot" so i was hoping you could help me w/ a few questions...

I was looking at flights and I am a little confused - I looked up United Airlines site and selected the cities - I was looking at Pocatello as that is where is picking up Patty. I found many flights but several are coming up under Delta - are they connected - i guess they must be as I was on Uniteds site but do the miles only apply to United flights? If not - I did see several under Boise, too, but I was trying to make it easier on if I can make it up to not have to make an extra stop. the prices are all over the place and I am not sure how the miles work - I know you said there aren't may restrictions but the prices range from $550 - $1200 on some for the same destinations. would price affect your miles as far as availability to others? Sorry - I have not traveled much and I don't want to look into a flight that may be turned down or make others unable to take you up on your wonderful offer. I believe Patty and were leaving Sunday - does that sound right? obviously I need to look at times to coincide w/ their schedules. thanks and sorry for the dumb questions - i have flown quite a few times but have never earned miles....

well I was so depressed last week when I called the short term disability people and they still were dragging their feet - I had all intentions of going on the trip but needed that to go through so we could pay our bills... I was sooooo looking forward to the trip then was upset as I couldn't make it ...

free miles or not you are an angel to me to give me another chance at making the trip. If nobody else has shown interest then the Boise thing would be fine w/ me as long as it is OK w/ . I am waiting for her to get my message and let me know. I remember her saying that she would p/u me up at Boise a while back before I realized that I couldn't go but I am not sure if she is still wanting to do it as it would be out of the way and I am also not sure that there is a flight on Sunday that would be within their schedules for returning - if I guess I could just stay in Boise and get a cheap room for he nite if I had to but I will cross that bridge when I get there. I did check the Salt lake flights to sun valley and saw the Delta flight at $200 which will have to be a last resort option for me if I still don't get the disability squared away by then. I will set aside enough $$ for food and gas, etc., but the extra $200 for a flight may be tough w/out a paycheck right now. I will wait for to respond and we will go from there.

By the way - what is the weather like up there in June? also - I can't find the post I printed of the local newspaper so I can try to get them to cover it. If you still have that post can you re-send it?

thanks again
