Hi Salem, I have problems eating most sugar free candies. The sugar alcohols in them gives me the runs big time, and Nutra Sweet makes me sick. I drink water and I do eat regular ice cream and such. I just don't eat so much. You will have to be very careful doing some things after the surgery. Falls are double dangerous for those of us with replacement joints. Water skiing may be totally out. Yes, it's water, but if you hit your knees at the speed some boats will pull you, it's like hitting concrete. I've never done it but I have jumped off a diving board and hit wrong, on my knees. It hurts. I won't do that again. I won't go rafting either, bad back, and I'm not that good a swimmer if there'd be an accident. Anything like tennis is hard on the knees as is roller/ice skating, especially if you'd fall on your knees. Being diabetic is easier if you can eat some of the stuff and like the rest. I'll manage, though. Salem Saglime <salem3p@...> wrote: , I did those athletic things before all these problems. I may be having wishful thinking. I am type 2 Diabetic also. Thank God for Splenda. EEEEHHHAAAHHH!!! Also sugar-free Stover. (In one end and out the other, hahahaha). Sugar-free candy doesn't have the time to stick to your stomach/hips. I also like fat-free/sugar free ice-cream. Its actually not bad. The Metformin has helped me control my sugar and weight. Thank heaven because I LOVE good food and BBQ. Except for some fat around my lower abdomen (my Grammie called it an apron) from my c-section and hyster. I am rock solid. Great upper strength and rock legs. It helped me pull myself up after my surgeries. My OS said more

muscular people are easier to heal. He forgot to tell mine that thou. No, actually it will take me a little longer to heal because I had so many knee surgeries in such little time. I gave up on my Physical therapist because they were screwing up, plus it cost me $25.00 a visit co-pay-3 times a week. It got expensive , so I joined a gym and am doing it myself and doing rather well. It is only $38.00 a month for 3 times a week, plus both me AND my hubby can go. I want to play tennis again real bad. My OS says it will have to be doubles. DRAT!! I want to roller/ice skate again but my OS looked at me like I was insane and said "Not with my knees"... He thinks their his now that he fixed them. hahaha! My Son wants me to do white water rafting. My OS said that might be possible. Not water skiing. That is so wrong. Its not like I am going to fall on cement. Its

water. Also Try the Russel Stover carmel drops. yum! They are these little choc over carmel balls. I freeze them like milky ways. They are sugar-free. Walgreens has been having great buys on their sugar-free candy lately. I try to stock up for the holidays but it doesn't make it thru the week. hehehe! Splenda has brown sugar now too. I wish they would come out with powdered sugar now. I made these wonderful cinnamin rolls. Plus really great brown sugar baked beans. Watch the baked beans you start out with. Bush has vegaterian style baked beans and it is the lowest in reg. sugar. I drain most of the juice off anyway before I add the splenda brown sugar and a little Mrs. Butterworth Sugar-free maple syrup, a touch of yellow mustard and a

touch of sugar-free Heinz ketchup. Then bake it for a while. The Mrs. Butterworth is awesome. It tastes even better than the original. OK, now that I have rambled on here. It is so much easier now a days being diabetic. I'm fixin to go out and sneak that last bag of carmel drops. I just got myself hungrey for them little buggers! Believe it or not, the weight is coming off even with my nasty munchies .

I love just being able to push my little granddaughter down the street in her stroller, and not have to stop every few feet to rest my knee. Standing in line at the store is much easier, too. I hope you can get the help you need if you decide on a partial and not have problems with it like Salem did. God bless her, she's really had problems. Are you diabetic? Just curious, because I have to watch my intake of sugar and starches too, and I don't drink alcohol either. I'm a type 2 diabetic myself and I'm working on losing some weight.

that keeps my weight down. I've actually gained 15 pounds in the last few years by going on Atkins and bulking up on high-fat foods.It's true that the doctor works for me but I'm trying to trust his judgment. Both he and two other surgeons said that if I have the TKR now, I run the risk of ending up in a wheelchair by the age of 70, since knee revisions aren't as good as the primary replacement. Doesn't that worry you at your age, especially because you're so active?No, I'm not physical like that. I have fibromyalgia and low blood sugar. On a good day, I'm exhausted! I would collapse on the tennis court. What I want from knee surgery is the ability to stand in line at the grocery store or pharmacy, walk 2 to 3 miles a day and work out on the stationary bike at the Y. And I want a reduction in pain. That's it. I'm definitely not athletic because of my other

medical problems.What the doctor told me was that there's a certain selection criteria for the partial people and if that's used correctly, it can be highly successful. If the wrong people are selected -- doesn't sound as though you were a good candidate to begin with -- then the probability of success declines. I think I might be a good candidate because it's only the left side of my knee that's completely collapsed, I'm of average weight and there's no way that I'm going to be water rafting! Plus, I'm really scared about the prospect of a wheelchair down the road. I already had my hip replaced two years ago, so it'll need a revision in another 12-15 years and I'll be under 70 at that time.I have great reservations about telling the doctor that I want the TKR since I'm not sure that I want a TKR. I just want the pain to go down and be able to walk around and get my stuff

done.Thanks :) Sigrid>> Sigrid, God bless you! DSL Something to write home about. Just $16.99/mo. or less PersonalsSingle? There's someone we'd like you to meet.Lots of someones, actually. Personals

Salem and ,

Salem -- you were making me hungry, talking about all those sugar-

free desserts! Like , I can't touch them. Splenda, sucralose

or mannitol all convert to sugar in my system. So does fruit. I

avoid anything sweet but I miss it like crazy!

Thanks Kim for the suggestion. We have been doing nasal irrigations

for years. They do help clear some of junk out, but when it starts

getting bad she can't stand to do the irrigations because they hurt her

head so bad, because the mucus gets so thick and it creates terrible

presure. Many of the people on the group I am on for her disease have

much better luck with the irrigations, they make a huge differnce for

them. Thanks again, we hope things turn around soon.

HI ,

Thanks so much for asking.

My son is much better. It's like night and day. That small amount of prozac

has almost taken the fears completely away. It's amazing! He is still saying

some bizzare things, but nothing like yesterday . I really thought I was losing

him for a few days!

His behavior is horrible, (must be from the med ) but I'll take that any day

over that nightmare!!!!!!!!

You guys really helped me from losing my mind!

(((Hugs)))

Hi ,

I have not had neck surgery, but probably one of these days I will

need it.

I have been very ill the past 8 monthes with a stomach problem

that caused heartburn, inability to eat normal food, weight loss and

lack of sleep. I think part of my worsened neck is due to that

illness. I've been trying to get as good nutrition as I can. But I

can't eat anything with fiber like vegetables or salad. I take a

chewable children's vitamin, drink Ensure and eat scrambled eggs and

baby food vegetables, ground up chicken and soggy banana muffins. I

think your chiropractors are right about the nutrition.

SIB is just shorthand for self injury behavior. never did well on the anti-psychotic meds such as Zyprexa, Seraquil or Abilify. Risperdal helped him for the first month or two that he was taking it, but then back to the severe behaviors. This was even after a dose of 6 grams per day and was just six or seven years old at the time. The anti-depressants like Zoloft that was on and now Prozac have been far more helpful, but remember that each case can be different

Hi ,

Thanks so much for the tip. I should try that myself. I too have panic disorder,

but usually only when I'm driving with my kids in the car. I know it's weird,

but I just can't do it. I take klonopin, and it doesn't help with the driving.

I wonder if my daughter could take it with her zoloft and clonidine.

Thanks again,

hugs

medications, but if your doctor will not give you what you want, and you are

desperate, you may want to try it. Your poor little daughter ... my heart goes

The zoloft is just not cutting it. Could anyone tell me if their doctors have

seeing my daughter is only 10, the doctor is afraid of a paradoxal reaction.

Any suggestions?

My son uses Ativan for panic attacks with success. At one time he

was taking a little Ativan before school for about a week to help him

get over his morning anxiety. He takes 0.5mg and can take it up to 3

times per day, but we have not had to give that much.

Is the " Purecalm " another form of " Calms " ?? Maybe " Calms " is a generic form of

it or something.

I had purchased some last year at the healthfood store for my son before he was

on any meds to help him to sleep.I never tried it with my dd though because she

has been on meds for so long, and I was afraid to give both.

No, it is formulated by a clinical psychologist, Michele Carlisle, or her last

name is something like that. Anyway, I have only the best things to say about

it, but if you go to the website and " ask a question " , your question will be

answered by Michele and she is very thorough and very honest. She can tell you

if you can mix with meds if you let her know what your daughter is one. She

errs more on the side of caution. My daughter this evening was kind of raging

with her homework and started getting kind of out of control and I made her take

it (drops in a drink) and within 5 minutes she was completing her homework and

laughing, writing secret messages with my other daughter.

- I don't know the reason for this reaction. I haven't been following this thread -- only a couple of posts. I am just reacting to something I read -- not YOU as a person, advocate, parent or whatever. Please don't think that is what is going on.Rox Re:More about AutismSpeaks in Pittsburgh

Oh for the love of........For people who want to get their children

vaccinated for the flu, or whatever, without mercury.

(a) It's not a medical facility, it's a pharmacy that does

compounding, carries Kirkman products, nutritional and supplement

advice and counseling, and offers mercury free vaccinations FOR THOSE

WHO WANT THEM.

(B) The woman who runs said pharmacy was mercury poisoned as a child

and knows all about chelation, etc.

What's the problem? Just because we "OFFER" something doesn't mean

that we say it's the ONLY way. We're not running around saying

"vaccinate." We're saying, "if you choose to vaccinate, here's an

alternative. " Parents have choices. They're not stupid, they can

make up their own minds.

I'm not, relax. I just don't think anyone here agrees on one mantra.

(In fact, the autism community doesn't agree on a whole lot of

anything!) Except maybe that vaccines and mercury have something to

do with autism. I'm just saying that as an organization, we're just

offering parents a choice. Usually if you go to your pediatrician and

say, I don't want my child to be vaccinated because of mercury, they

look at you like you have 3 heads.

We're just offering an alternative. The other alternative is to not

vaccinate at all. (That's the option I personally chose.)

Basically, in a nutshell, what I'm trying to say is -- we are just

offering parents choices. They can choose what they want to do. We

just want to make sure they have options and it seemed like teaming up

with this pharmacy was a good thing to do because they seem to " get

it. "

No worries here.

Hey ,

Yes, I remember very well. I am so sorry to hear that happened. I sure am glad

that he is ok though. I hate those pills.

Can you take them away? I know that its not always possible to just take

something away like that, but I certainly would if there is any way that you

can.

What did the doctors say was wrong with him when he was in the hospital?
