Guest guest Posted June 1, 2002 Report Share Posted June 1, 2002 Geez .. what type of parents do these kids have, anyway? If I'd been caught stealing stuff from ANYONE when I was a kid, I just know my parents would have come up with a far more severe punishment (restitution) for me than any police officer would have imposed. My parents would have made sure I did it, too! I thought they were overly strict at the time, and still do sometimes. I can see where it is necessary, though. - Ela (000)___(000) Ela Heyn / @ @ \ ferret@... | | ======@====== http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/5483 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 Unfortunately these boys parents tried to cover up for them. But the cops I guess knew the boys and knew differently. We have had to call the cops on them a few other times due to them trespassing across our lawn and such.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 I remember from your pix that you're looking pretty good already. From what others have said, I think the progress is slower as you get leaner. I'm in week 8 of challenge 2 and I feel the same as you. I don't know if my pix will look any different, but something has to be going on! Venting Ok, so this is W12 of challenge " 2 " (if you don't count the ones in 2001) for me. I have to vent here... The first 6 weeks sucked -- eating wasn't pefect and I got sick, had a trip home, yadda, yadda. The last 6 weeks have ROCKED! I've been eating perfectly all week and taking really tame free days and haven't missed a workout. In fact I've been working out on free day too. Problem is... my BF% hasn't changed and the scale keeps going up (has to be muscle gain or water retention). I see that I'm building more muscle in my legs, so I know it's working. And I feel stronger and stronger (increasing weights in everything) with every workout. I just need to vent because my measurements haven't changed and I want more of this yucky fat to burn off.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Thanks Shaun. I know I just need to be patient. The great thing is that it really has become a lifestyle. On a separate note, I'm hoping to get pregnant soon and I'm so afraid I'll slip into my old habits or that once the baby is born, I won't have the time to workout the way I do now. Or that during pregnancy I'll lose a ton of muscle I've gained recently. Guess I'll just have to *make* time. I know that I need to do this for me, no matter what point I am in my life. BFL makes me feel so good and I can't imagine life without it. Thanks for your reply. -JB > I remember from your pix that you're looking pretty good already.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 jb, good luck getting pregnant! don't speculate now what will happen during your pregnancy and afterward...just deal with it when it gets here! I suspect that since bfl has already become a lifestyle for you that you'll continue good eating habits during and after your pregnancy. you can work out as long as you feel you can, adjusting your weights as you go along. after the baby comes, that will be your priority and you can start working out again gradually! don't feel like you have to look like cyndi crawford during your pregnancy and come home from the hospital in your pre-pregnancy jeans! you probably don't have a personal trainer like celebrity moms so just enjoy your blossoming body and the miracle of birth! I've had six children and have gained about 35 pounds with each pregnancy and eventually lost all of it afterwards, though sometimes it took longer than other. pregnancy and early childhood is such a short span of time in the grand scheme of things that would hate for you to focus on the negative aspects of that time instead of all the joys!! just my opinion! steph > > I remember from your pix that you're looking pretty good already. > From > > what others have said, I think the progress is slower as you get > leaner. > > I'm in week 8 of challenge 2 and I feel the same as you.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Thanks Steph! You're right -- I do need to get over the mental hump and just enjoy it when it comes. I love knowing I have the knowledge/tools/keys to getting into shape, so I know it's possible to do so after having children. I think so many moms just don't know how to do it.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 You can say that again, the progress IS slower as you get leaner(and older, lol). I started this spring fatburning process back in March (at least twelve weeks ago) and the meltdown has only started happening in the last three weeks or so. I guess all the visceral and intramuscular fat took a while to burn. Now that the subcutaneous fat is coming off now it is much more obvious. And I'm only talking 2-3% body fat here, nothing earth shattering. So hang in there, you will see results. Stasia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 ,.... Thats kind of what I was trying to say in my other message. Learning to do things another way is energy draining when you use to be able to do most things with ease. I don't vent too much because it has been discouraged with some people in my family. They have illnesses too, and they don't talk about it, and don't really want to hear about my problems. So I've gotten use to keeping things to myself. I don't think I brood about them, but so many times when I have opened up some one usually tells me to count my blessings and stop complaining. I don't look at it as complaining because I know how it feels to be scared when you have lots of weird things going on in your body, and no one can tell you how come. Thanks for the encouragement, Hugs, Jax Kum wrote: > I feel like it is one thing to give up, it is quite another to accept that you may not be able to do things the same way. > But....if you're feeling like you are down...instead of brooding, why not get on the group and vent. Venting is strongly encouraged here. All of us understand what it is like to feel discouraged, and just knowing that you have 150 some odd friends online who know exactly how you feel is very > liberating. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a challange not being able to do much, when I am so used to doing so much, you know? Yes, got the appointment next week with the neurosurgeon, will know more then I suppose. The neck did not hurt much, its mainly been the lower back. Now its both. It hurts to even hold my head up. Then I was on percocets 5/325's. My regular doc is having me try out Ultracets. Just for a week, to see if it works better. I was taking the percocets 2 at a time the last couple weeks, and asked her for something stronger. The percocets no longer work, at the dosage prescribed. She did give me the Ultracts in sample form, which saved me some money. But they aint working. Taking flexeril also. Then I have a cold, and when I cough, it causes the neck to hurt more. I am just so tired and sleepy all the time. Could be the meds, or just fatigue with Fibromyalgia. How have you been doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Ann, is there any way you can change doctors to one who might have the idea that you just might have a clue as to what will help your child? I was able to change to one after the one the boys was seeing at the time, told me that there was NOTHING that could be done for someone with autism. The doctor Evan has now does not know anything about autism but she believes that I have done the research and just might have a clue.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Wrong to wail about this? Not in the least. What you said is repeated by EMTs and ER physicians all around the country. It's made worse by the lack of health insurance where the ER is used as a clinic to treat minor illnesses. By law, the ER must treat everyone regardless of ability to pay or seriousness of the illness or injury. Plus, some of the ER patients are drug seeking indigents who fake illnesses. This is a serious problem in the U.S. Although I'm glad that you voiced your objections, I don't think that people like your neighbor understand the problem. Many many large cities have lost level 1 or level 2 trauma centers because of the cost involved. ERs are money losing departments and in places like Southern California, serves a large " undocumented alien " population and low-wage uninsured people (like WalMart employees). I don't know what it will take for the majority of the citizens to recognize the health care crisis. I fear that if wide spread terrorist attacks occur, our hospitals will be overwhelmed and unable to meet the need.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 OK. You had a chance to vent and, hopefully, it relieved some pressure. Now, sit back, grab a cup of tea or something relaxing and let me respond a bit. RISG is here to share, support and uplift. What we do is listen to each other vent, so you're in the right place. I generally do not post much, unless I am having a rough patch or have something specific to contribute, but I assure you that not a single day goes by without my thanking God that I found this group and my praying that He will touch and strengthen others who come here, including you. You are not alone in what you are dealing with. I would encourage you to stop drinking alcohol and find yourself a pain clinic to help you manage. (That has been my saving grace!) A rheumatologist and counselor or pastor are also good editions to your care team. You are absolutely right to keep moving and not give in to the situation, but that does not mean you should not take care of yourself in the process. In 1996, I was told I'd probably be in a wheelchair within six months. NOT! So far, I am still able to get around (even if I hobble sometimes) but it has taken a LOT of work to keep doing so. Taking control of your life is crucial so that you don't feel lost in the disease. You define who you are, not the illness. Don't waste time being unproductively angry ~ I spent years there and I can tell you it only hurts you by consuming your good self with bitterness. It is OK to cry, shout, rage and feel sorry for yourself, but set a finite period of time for doing so, then get motivated to do something about it. You asked about our backgrounds and how we cope. I'm a sero-negative spondy survivor (I love that phraseology!). When I was 17, I was infected with a strain of cowpox (bacterial) and it has been a rough road ever since, at least at times. When I was pregnant, my condition deteriorated and I have not been well since. I just turned 41 and the last 17 years have been difficult, at best. That is a kind characterization. My doctors seem to favor the diagnoses of undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy, fibromyalgia and IBS. Let's see...symptoms...I get ulcers in my mouth and nose, my joints are inflamed and my tendons swollen and painful all over my body, particularly at the insertion points to my joints. (Reiter's is usually more predominant on one side or the other.) In fact, I've had the tendons in my hands lengthened in order to uncurl my fingers. I've had 19 surgeries in the past 17 years and may have to have additional ones in the future. I have chronic colon spasms (IBS) with flares of gastroenteritis and ulcerative colitis. I've had my gallbladder and tonsils removed, a hysterectomy/oompherectomy (at age 36), my ears tubed (3x), a sinus levage, and just about everything else you can imagine. My immune system is non-existent and my organs are rapidly exiting the system. <LOL> I keep joking that my appendix is the only spare part I have left but, in fact, I have an enlarged spleen and I understand that I can survive without that if I have to! Within the past year, I've undergone a CT w/contrast, Endoscopy, Colonoscopy, MRCP, biopsies, etc. I had a huge lump that came up beneath my right breast (looked like a third breast). My liver enzymes were elevated and both my spleen and liver were very enlarged. Add to that a horrendous pain below my right shoulder blade and nausea and vomiting 24/7. Turns out, I had shingles (2nd time) in my back, along with stomach ulcers and a severely knotted colon. Scar tissue in my abdomen has tied off three sections, forcing everything to come back up. Waste and toxins were in my system, causing the liver/spleen issues and joint pain that was unbearable. I was taking morphine and that didn't touch it. Finally an excellent gastroenterologist found out what it all was. By the way, the " third breast " was actually my colon ~ it had twisted up so badly that it climbed up in my abdominal cavity and separated my ribs from the sternum (more pain). I honestly thought I had a tumor and was dying. Sometimes it seems as if the things that are wrong outweigh the things in life that are right. I know this is not truly the case, but it is hard not to be discouraged at times. RISG has been a God-send from the standpoint of providing support and information. The folks here really can and do relate when our spouses, children, etc. can't understand where we are coming from, why we can't do the things we used to do and why we get so angry about it. It is my theory and practice that our conditions must be managed from multiple angles. I began going to a pain clinic about 3.5 yrs. ago and it has given me my life back from the standpoint that I can function in my day-to-day activities. Life as I knew it is gone, but the life I'm living can be and is good. MANAGEMENT is key! Meds are not the only course of treatment, but they are a good one. I've also used acupuncture, massage and counseling as integrative therapies. The process of regulating medication is trial and error. Since my first symptoms at age 17, I've tried almost every kind of muscle relaxant and arthritic medication available. Sulfasalazine worked well for several years, but eventually ran out of steam. Enbrel did the same thing. I've found that the best course of action is to have one doctor coordinate all of my medications, particularly one who is willing to try different types and amounts, tweaking them until it works as well as possible. I could give you a list of meds I've tried and what I'm now taking, but Rick really would cut that post due to length. <VBG> I'd be happy to discuss that with you off-list if you'd like. Sometimes it helps to see what works for others. Hopefully you will take the time and energy to explore available options. I also suggest a pet if you do not have one. (You will find many of us at RISG have companion animals.) My dogs are not only part of the family, but also a big part of my healthcare. It is very soothing to get a big ole hound dawg stretched out beneath one's feet or hands (in my case, both). (The saggy eyes of a Basset Hound look mighty empathetic when I'm in a lot of pain.) When I was recovering from having the tendons in my hands lengthened, the orthopaedist wanted to send me to physical therapy. She was astounded when I went back post-op and had the range of motion that I did. I laughed and asked if she thought that a few stitches and bandages were going to stop the four-legged children from demanding belly rubs and ear tickles. Seriously though, it helped tremendously to keep me flexing and moving my hands. I've taken far more time and said more than I intended, so I beg your indulgence. I hope I have encouraged you not to be a victim of circumstances and let you know that YOU CAN rise above them. Bad things happen to good people but how we cope is up to us. Read, research, explore, question and then do it all again and again. My faith, my family, my doctors, my dogs, RISG ...all gifts in my life for which I am truly thankful. Count blessings not problems. To the rest of you wonderful people on the list, keep me and my family in your prayers. As you know, my dad is taking his 6th round of chemo for CLL. He just came out of the hospital from a pneumonia bout and my husband was laid-off from his position of 16 years on Monday. (It can always get worse.) As always, you are all in my own prayers and in my heart. This Thanksgiving, I will be remembering each of you as special blessings in my life and I thank God for you.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Imagine trying everything out of love for your children and having someone come up and tell you it's what you are doing that's causing the problem. Just actually having the guts to confront that possibility is very hard for many people. some people will continue doing that thing because they cannot imagine or face that they might have made things worse. It's a sticky situation to educate people about this stuff for sure. I don't know if many of you are aware of how SSRIs effect the lives of children. I read and post to boards where children's " mental health " issues are discussed. So very many of the children whose parents post to those boards are taking SSRIs. Many parents keep trying to help their children, evidenced by the fact that they keep dragging them to the psychaitrists who are prescribing the SSRIs. Most of these parents are desperate to help their children and most are very resistent to any suggestion that their doctors are wrong and that the meds are hurting their children. In fact, some will react with great hostility to anyone who suggests that the treatment is the biggest problem. Most of these children are violent and distructive, threatening or hurting the mother and other siblings. Go through the list of adverse reactions to SSRIs and these kids have every single one of them. Yet no one will look at the SSRI But what disturbs me the most are the parents who have come to hate their children and will do anything to get them out of their lives -- send them to live with the non-custodial parent, have them arrested and sent to juvenile facilities, enroll them in residental treatment programs, and even sign away parental rights and turn them over to the state. I would guess that 75% of those kids are taking SSRIs, which the doctors assure the parent the child needs and things would be even worse if the child didn't take them. HOW MUCH WORSE COULD THE CHILD BE??? Every one of these children is worse with treatment than before. Connect the dots, folks! I see this every few days on one board or the other. It is so sad. And for those (not the people here) who care only about the bottom line in all this, the cost to society -- taxpayers, insurance companies, etc. -- is enormous.
