Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Audrey, Just a thought, but I haven't had Optic Neuritis since I started taking Pregnenolone and DHEA. I had lost the vision in my left eye for the 4th time when I started the 2 supplements. After about 6 months, I saw much improvement. Now, it has been 3 years with NO recurrence of the ON. I see almost perfect except for the 40 year old symdrom that set in about 1 year ago. I have to hold reading stuff out at arms length to read it!! I take the Preg in the A.M. and the DHEA at night. 25mg and 30mg. Now I actually take my DHEA every other day. I know this is keeping my ON at bay.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 , I would love to see some of your pictures. Maybe you could do whatever it is (I'm not very techno savy), and show us some of your work!

I am a photographer, used to long walks in the forest, or around the city, with my camera. That has recently become very difficult, and now I am limited to far shorter walks. But I try to take at least one photograph every day, of whatever happens to be in front of me, as a discipline, to MAKE myself keep at it regardless of how I am feeling. It is easy, tho, to give up something that takes energy and is not considered necessary. But without these sorts of things, our spirit and soul is affected adversely. Thanks for "listening."

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Audrey, I was told that with my Optic Neuritis that the optic nerve was inflamed. Nobody ever mentioned anything about the brain stem, but that doesn't mean that I was informed correctly. My theory is that if there is any inflammation, that these supplements may help to reduce it. Best of luck to you whatever path you may choose!

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Marcie, Optic neuritis is the optic nerve. I had diplopia and nystagmus which is damage to the brain stem.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Audrey, I"ve never heard of those two conditions, which thankfully I guess, means I haven't had to deal with them. I'm sorry that you have though! I wouldn't wish any of this on an enemy even if I had one! I hope it heals itself just the same!

That dog will put anything into his belly and I mean ANYTHING! It's a miracle we haven't had an emergency visit to the vet for a stomach pump. I was grilling long slices of green bell pepper and onions when one got away from the frying pan and hit the floor. Well, it didn't quite make it to the floor...it was in his stomach in a flash. Good grief that thing was right of the skillet HOT! It's a wonder it didn't kill him. What is really dangerous is our medications. We have to be extremely careful when taking our own pills. If we drop one, it will be in his belly in a flash. Ahhhhh being the owner of a pig... errrr I mean Chihuahua is so much fun Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 2 dogs - both black labs. cape - 3 years old, about 85 pounds callie - 2 years old, about 65 pounds somehow, they both think they're the same size as doug's chihuahuas! and yes, i test allergic to dogs, but seemed to have built up a tolerance for my two - but other people's dogs make my allergies go nuts. of course, when my dr asks if they are allowed in my bedroom, i tell her no...but the truth is, hubby and i have to fight for some of the bed at night!! heather --- In , " Queen of the Universe " <cleptisvirgo@...> wrote: > > I can't believe no one's posted about their pet yet.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I test allergic to cats, but still have three of them living with me. They don't seem to bother me. I know there's research that shows we develope a tolerance to our own pets. Other people's cats still get to me though, especially if they are male. It doesn't keep me from playing with my neighbors 23 POUND!!! cat that thinks he's a baby. I have never met a sweeter animal. I also have a beta and my daughter has a monster goldfish. At the house we have 4 more cats, 2 giant dogs, a bunny, and 2 rats. The rats really set off my allergies. When I can get back to the house (had to leave due to asthma), I'd like to get some Jersey Wooly rabbits and an alpaca. We'll probably get another goat and some more chickens. We just love animals! > > > 2 dogs - both black labs. > cape - 3 years old, about 85 pounds > callie - 2 years old, about 65 pounds > somehow, they both think they're the same size as doug's chihuahuas! > > and yes, i test allergic to dogs, but seemed to have built up a tolerance for my two - but other people's dogs make my allergies go nuts. of course, when my dr asks if they are allowed in my bedroom, i tell her no...but the truth is, hubby and i have to fight for some of the bed at night!! > > heather > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 , mum is the word, I won't tell, haha...........my dogs sleep in another room together, I never did let any dog sleep with me.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Doug, I hear you. My daughter had a minpin that could eat circles around her other dog, a bichon. She died and they got another min pin, a male @ almost 3 pounds and he also can eat like crazy.........but I can see why, he can not sit still for a minute. Jan From: uca79iii@...

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 We have a Corgi-golden retriever mix. He looks like a largish Corgi, with blonde hair and retrieverish tale. He's adorable. Unfortunately, tho, he has the appetite of a golden and will eat ANYTHING. It's really hard now that I work from home and he starts asking for his supper at 3pm. I don't feed him b4 5pm, because then he will try to wake me up to feed him (and his canine sibling) breakfast before 5:30AM. You'd think we never fed him. His name is Pez, b/c when we got him at 7 months, his name was , which we didn't like, but he looked a little like a Pez dispenser, so we just shortened it. But a lot of times I call him " Busy Butt " because he is the busiest little creature I've ever seen. And joyful. No one who had a Pez would ever need an anti-depressant. He is happy, and shares his happiness gladly. Addy > > > > 3 dogs - 13 yo lab/gsd mix, 4yo golden retriever, 2 yo flatcoated > > retriever, 8 yo cat.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I never had pets when I was a kids. My parents & grandparents were very " over protective " when it came to me, my allergies & asthma. For my Christmas present 4 months after I started " Chemical X " my husband brought home 2 retired racing greyhounds!! We added a third a few months after. In a sense Xolair has saved a few lives in my household! ________________________________ From: pyle456 <jamcculloch2@...> Sent: Sunday, September 27, 2009 7:29:53 PM Subject: [ ] Re: Off topic We have a Corgi-golden retriever mix.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 My in-laws had a dog that was half corgi half german shepard. This was one funny looking dog, she had no tail and stubby little corgi legs, but with a full sized german shepard body! They spoiled her rotten rotten rotten. Still, you can help but appreciate something that makes everyone who sees it smile. My youngest cat is named WackyWackySnowflakeMeringueBabyWhitetrashDisasterCat, but she answers to Baby, Meringue Baby, and Stupid Cat. She's a dear little thing, but so far from bright she doesn't even flicker. I swear sometimes it looks like she's trying to get those two brain cells she's got to rub together hard enough to make a spark. It never works. -- In , " pyle456 " <jamcculloch2@...> wrote: > > We have a Corgi-golden retriever mix. He looks like a largish Corgi, > with blonde hair and retrieverish tale. He's adorable.
