Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hi Diane I know exactly what you mean about having your feet on the ground. That is one of my own biggest problems - I need to know whats going on. When I dont, I feel lost, and become confused....and then I start to worry. And that stressing tends to make me feel sick. I had my gallbladder removed too, just before I was DX'd with HCV. Since then my digestive tract has played havoic with me at times. When I stress, it becomes even worse. Diane, even though you dont have HCV, the liver friendly diet is useful to you too. We all tend to eat so much crap, and that will eventually show its ugli head in how we feel. I have been eating digestive enzymes also [from the health food store] in addition to a better diet, and I think that they are beginning to stabilize my digestion a bit. They arent real expensive, and they come in all sorts of flavors. Mine are Papaya flavored. Hang in there my friend - life is a rollar coaster ride. love don in ks > > > From: dianedellicarpini <dellcar9@...>> Subject: [ ] nervous> > Date: Monday, March 28, 2011, 9:11 AM> > > Hi, First I want to say that it was good to read that Donna was doing ok with treatment and still working.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 So glad you brought up supplements! After our home burned, we scored a beautiful new home with plenty of room and a creek runs through it. Next to the creek, someone with no experience in building artificial aquatic gardens built a koi pond without thinking it through. I won't rebuild since erosion has taken out at least 25% of the retaining wall, the wiring is damaged and the pump is toast. Besides, who needs a fake pond next to a creek with a nice big pond a 10 minute hike away? Crazy ideas! Anyway, I've decided to revive my herb garden. Still have some perennials at the old home site and the creekside location is perfect! Started researching various herbs and found some that may help with the liver and digestion. You've spoken of a regimen that you follow. If it's not too much to ask can you shoot that to me again? I can't find the darn thing anywhere! Thought you might have it handy. Some medicinal herbs scare me, but when they do what they're supposed to, there's nothing better than having fresh, dried, tinctured, etc. herbs to do the trick. I even stumbled on the best herbs to use in this fake mj they're selling to all the teenagers (and some adults too). Maybe I'll start a quick new business before they outlaw the fake stuff too! LOL! Thanks again! I'll let you know how the business goes! LOL!
