Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Dear everyone, apparently I have really messed up, in that I posted a message already that has a link to a web site that I am involved with. I apologize if I have offended anyone at the support group. I have gotten a few extremely angry emails from a few individuals from other groups who really let me have it. I am actually a very sensitive person with a lot of care in my heart, I simply did not know the proper ethics of being part of a group. Sincerely, in shock Moses > > > > > > Sounds exciting, when will LEM PLUS be available in > Australia? > > > > Robyn > > > > > __________________________________________________ > _______________ > > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at > http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 Pam, I don't know where you live, but one option that may be available in your area is a pain clinic. Pain management is really just now coming to the forefront, and a good, knowledgeable clinic will work with you to achieve as must pain relief as is possible.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Welcome to the group, . My son is almost 8 and has had cholesteatoma since he was almost 3. I believe it was congenital, because it was so widepsread when they first diagnosed it. I am saddened to read that so many pediatricians are unaware, or do not have enough training, in this area. It is very important as parents to insist that a child be seen by a specialist, even if it means switching pediatrician, as you mentioned. It sounds like you did the right thing by switching and by finding the right specialist. In children, cholesteatoma spreads quickly, so it's a good thing that his surgery is scheduled sooner rather than later. I understand completely what you are going through (I've been through it numerous times). The one thing that has always gotten me through this is my son's ability to bounce back. I am convinced that God created children to be strong and resilient, so we as parents, can handle the tough times! As much as my son has been through, I can honestly say, that I feel lucky that his condition is a treatable one. And with regular checkups, the disease is manageable. Please keep us posted on his surgery in November. We will be praying for you. Terri > Hi! I'm new to the group.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Hi Welcome to the group. I just wanted to say good luck with your sons surgery and keep us posted on his recovery. My (almost) 9 year old daughter has this in her left ear, just had her most recent surgery in August and is recovering well. She'll have a hearing test in December so we're keeping our fingers crossed. Take care and if you have any questons, we're all here for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 Terri & , Thank you so much for your concern. It makes me feel so much better to know that there are others out there that I can reach out to if needed. I'm sure my son is going to get through this just fine -- I think it will be a miracle if my husband and I do! We're both just so worried, but were very careful not to let Vinny see. We had the priest at our church bless him last night (informally - outside by a fountain), and I think it was good for all of us. The priest was great -- he eplained to Vinny how he was blessed before he had surgery and showed him the scar on his neck. He also gave him his card with his personal number on it and asked Vinny to call him when he gets out of surgery to let him know how he is. I will definitely keep you informed of the outcome, and look forward to corresponding with everyone between now and then. > Hi > Welcome to the group.

Deb Kosovich If I could show you how to make your home a safer environment for you and your family, would you be interested? zaksmom598@... Hi Deb, Welcome to the group. I have used essential oils to help promote sleep in both children and adults. It sounds like you could get some extra rest your self. Peace and Calming, Valor and Valerian are a few I can think of right off hand that I have used for restless grandchildren. I usually massage them on their feet or back - they love that too. Essential oils can be very calming and sedative to the central nervous system. They are very easy to use and children seem to have a real affinity to them. They are so worth learning about - feel free to browse my website to learn a little more.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 Hi everybody! I have an amazing homeopathy success story, or so it would seem so far. I have had two sebaceious cysts on my head for about 20 years. The have slowly grown, and are quite uncomfortable. I had been thinking of having them removed, but then decided to see what my naturopath had to say about it. She gave me a homeopathic and two months later they are already smaller. Of course it takes time and I'll have to be patient, but it's been twenty years - I can wait.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Welcome Connie. Ahhh Virginia Beach, a beautiful place. I can hear the water beating against the shoreline now. Sounds like you have had a lot of bad luck with your procedures. I have a feeling that is about to change for you. You now have this group to support you and a lot of prayers will be going out for you. Hugs, Magg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Welcome to the group, I wish you well, I had the Thoracotomy procedure as well. These procedures are done more routinely now. Hope your do okay and let us know how you do. Ed New to the group Hi everybody! I am new to the group. I learned that I have Achalasia in 1997. Since then, I have had at least three dilitations and last year a Myotomy that was supposed to be done laproscopally but when my esophagus was punctured by the retractor changed to an open proceedure. That surgery was unsucessful and I am now scheduled for a Thorocotomy Myotomy next week. Needless to say, I am very nervous. I live in Va. Beach, VA. (I lived in Houston, TX from 1984-1990.) I would love to hear from you. Best wishes for all of you. I know what you are dealing with. Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Hi Connie, Welcome to the group. Wow it seems things have really exploded in the last few days. Anyway, I am glad your here. I was diagnosed with " A " at 17 and I have had 3 surgeries, all open procedures. I am interested to know why your Myotomy was not successful. JC New to the group > Hi everybody!

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Hi Connie: When is your surgery scheduled for next week? Yes, it is very nerve-wracking. I'm sure it is more so for you after what you have been through. I had only one myotomy in Oct. 2001 and no other treatments except for medication. I still have some problems, but I truly consider myself lucky and the surgery a success, especially when I hear about some of you who have undergone several dilations and several surgeries and bone cracking and so on! It really scares me! Bless you! Bless you! Bless you! Connie, this time your surgery will be 100 percent successful! Absolutely! The power of positive thinking prevails! Please write us soon!

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 -Hi JC, I dont' know why the Myotomy was unsucessful.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 Hi and ! Welcome. You will love this group, sooo much information. Anytime you have a question, ask and someone will help if they can and lots will give their opinion, LOL! I'm addicted to this group.........:-) I'm into alt meds too and no vaxxing for my daughter Ruby anymore. She had her early jabs (cos I didnt know better at the time) but becos of the contraversy here in the UK,. I was wary of the MMR so looked into it, thankfully! Ruby and I are in the middle of seeing our homeopath and it is going very well. She has no major problems and Im grateful for that. Again, welcome. Suzie new to the group Hi! My name is ! I am a mother of a soon-to-be 2 yr old son named . Since giving birth to him I have been using homeopathic medicines to treat any ailment that has occured: teething, falls, fever, cold/flu, smashed fingers, etc.. I read several books on homeopathy after giving birth to find alternatives to vaccinating. After learning more about homeopathy and all its uses I became confident that vaccination was not an option for my son. I have been seeking other like-minded mothers in my area (I live in Sacramento, CA) I am looking forward to meeting new people with the same perspective regarding health and vaccines! , CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 Hi I haven't posted in a while, but have been reading the post. I, myself, do not have A but my husband does. He suffered with A for about a year and lost around 50 lb. before being diagnosed. He had the Heller Myotomy with a loose wrap after trying 2 botox treatments. As you will learn from this site, no treatments work the same for everyone. My husband still has problems, but at least he can now eat and has gained back his lost weight. He has problems with fatigue, has to eat standing up sometimes and drinks lots of water with his food. He had a stomach virus this summer and at that time, he found out that he no longer had the ability to throw up. That was pretty miserable, but, as I said earlier, this may not happen to everyone. Let me also mention, that my husband also is diabetic and has high blood pressure. He also has arthritis, so, I'm sure that these probably affect his A. Hope this helps Frances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 Welcome to the group, . You sound like me a while ago (LOOOOOONNNNNGGG while ago [i could be your mother], LOL). The only thing I didn't suffer from in your list was eczema. I also tried vegetarianism and darn near died (whole wheat bread, the whole thing). You have a lot to overcome, so start slow, and really listen to what your body is saying to you. My personal advice is to first give up wheat and corn, and gradually introduce meat to your diet (O-compliant fish, etc.) and then work your way up to red meat. You will be surprised as to how much better you will feel. This group is full of wonderful people who have been where you are now and we will help you get started on the right foot. Again, welcome. Richmond, Virginia hi, i'm , 24 years old. i'm new to the group. i've had a series of health problems. i turned to vegetarianism hoping it would help me to feel better, and it made all of my symptoms worse. i suffer from candidiasis, sinusitis, allergies (environmental, food, etc) ovarian cysts, irritable bowel, eczema, and the list goes on. i just started Eating Right for for my type. i'm hoping to get suggestions and support from this group. this will be a difficult transition for me as i have not had meat in a few years now, buti'm willing to make the changes. hope to hear from you all soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 Hi I was mostly vegetarian for about 20 years. When I reached colapse (before ER4YT was published) and discovered I needed MEATS I was feeling better in just 3 days. I still don't eat quite as much Meats as some suggest but can tell is I go too many days without it. Fruits, veges and meats and you will start feeling better and the longer you follow it and the better you feel the more noticiable it is when you stray. That's hoo you learn your worst ofenders. And you learn how nice it is to feel good.
