referral inhand. Make sure you let us know how it goes ASAP. Good luck!

Corinne:

Good luck with your ped. Weds.. I know how concerned you are about

's headshape & how your ped. thinks it's no big deal. Make sure

you speak up about your concerns & demand he takes you seriously. I

suggest getting a referral from your ped. for a specialist.

Please let us know how your appt goes.. Have you had any luck

repositioning over the past couple of weeks?

Corinne,

Thanks for checking in- make sure your ped addresses your concerns about the

flat spot. In the meantime, keep up with your repositioning to ensure that

he stays off that flat spot as much as possible. Let us know what the Doc

says! Good luck!

Corinne,

I just want to wish you and luck at wednesday's appointment.

Bring with you any info that you can find, inundate them with it

all. I found that helped me tremendously. I have a way of just

taking what the doctor says at face value, but with my folder of

info, I was able to dispute some of the things and show him the facts

to back it all up with. Be sure to let us know how it goes!

I'm a little concerned about 2

things.. one I think I understand it can be bad if you have an infection

anywhere in your body -- I Did have Lyme, in fact that is what they believe

kicked off the RA. The lyme bacteria encapsulate when not active and so you

can never really be sure that it's all gone.... I know everything has

risks.. but I admit I'm scared of kicking loose an active Lyme session

again... also, what a weenie I am -- I'm turning 60 next week and planning

on retiring on January 7 -- frankly combining that with starting an

injectable medication has really kicked some anxiety loose. I'm panicking a

little bit -- like Ok, what's next.

Hi Carla ... I am very curious about this too as I have also tested positive

for Lyme twice before. In my case, I don't believe I actually have Lyme

Disease for a couple of reasons: 1. I live in the South, I don't go into the

woods often and I never had a known tick (I understand they are often

indistinguishable). 2. My brother, who lives 1000 miles away in the NorthEast

and has

autoimmune problems himself, ALSO tests positive for Lyme's.

When my autoimmune problems were first undiagnosed is when this Lyme's thing

showed up and we did the antibiotic therapy. It has not resurfaced but I

have been actively treated for RA this entire time too. I wonder if the Lyme's

blood test is that reliable (sources say it is not).

Do you really think you have Lyme's? I don't think I do but have no way to

discern.

Appreciate any thoughts.

Love and prayers,

Beth

PS. Call me crazy, but I fully believe with everything I have, that some day

I will be healthier than a horse. :-)

There is nothing wrong with being worried about starting something new. We all

do this and with our illnesses we tend to " freak " out because we know how

serious it can be. Ill be thinking of you, injectiables are not fun, is this

shots or IV forms?

So sorry to hear about how much pain you've been in. Those darn

flares are tough to battle through sometimes, aren't they? As for

the anxiety and depression, I can totally relate. Since being

diagnosed with RA in January of this year, I started to become

depressed and felt anxious whenever I had to leave my home. I think

a lot of it has to do with being isolated due to illness.

It's good to know you've got a good counsellor - that's so important

to have someone good to talk with. Make sure and let your doc know

if your depression and anxiety becomes overwhelming. There's plenty

they can do to help you feel better.

All the best...

Dear Tess,

I'm sorry you've been having rocky times, but glad my bit about

butterflies helped--that's why I shared it!! What do your doctors say

about the possibility of DD?

I had my therapy session for my shoulder this morning, and it was pure

torture. He thinks that I have reached a point where that's all

therapy can do, and that I should go back to the ortho. The lipomas in

that shoulder have gotten so big, that is probably what is causing the

problem.

Oh, sorry to be complaining when you are the one who is in such pain!

I will keep you in myprayers as always,

Judi

Thank you for doing so, Jim. It's great to hear how well you're doing.

Hey everyone. This is again. I actually feel pretty good lately. I'm on

Flexeril, Cymbalta, and Loritabs. The pain seems to come and go. I have good

days and bad days. More good though lately. Hope all are doing well. Chris

I started taking MMS activated with lemon juice when this list was

just starting up, early November I think. I have been very cautious

after a bout of nausea and loose bowels. I haven't ever exceeded 10

drops at a time.

I always took it at night because of the reaction mentioned above.

Yesterday morning, after taking a small 4 drop dose the night before

and doing fine, decided to take the same 4 drops in the daytime as

an experiment. I figured I have been doing good on small doses for

months now and should be OK. But, POW. I spent the day with cramps

and diarreah and a little nausea, not throwing up but coming close

once. My tooth root hurts and that is strange because the aMMS had

pretty much eliminated that. I have a cracked tooth that causes

this pain. I feel pretty wrung out today like I had been down with

the flu, same as last time I had this reaction.

I wonder if anyone else has a different reaction in the daytime?

BTW, I have not been reading this list since before Thanksgiving.

Hope I am not repeating here.

Thanks.

Jill
