Thanks so much for your kind words Rhonda!

I also have energy issues. I have a 6 yr old and a 1 yr old. They

wear me out! } I really do want another child, but I am so afrad

that my condition will get worse. I want to be around to see my

children grow old. I guess that is my biggest fear right now. Ugh, if

we only had crystal balls to see the future.......LOL!

Where in TN do you live? We are headed up there the 8th thru the

15th. We go every year to the Gatlinburg area. It's so beautiful

there! Such a vast difference from flat FL! }

Take care!

Dear Jen:

That's so funny, Tennesseans go to FL for vacation and Floridians

come to TN for vacation. Perhaps we should just swap places. LOL I

actually live on the other side of the state...Memphis. It's pretty

flat here too...the delta. You are so lucky, at least you have two

children, I'm hoping to have at least one. I always thought growing

up I'd have at least three, but now I'd be happy with anything.

Love,

Rhonda

Just my two cents, but when I got pregnant with my son in 2000/2001 I really felt considerably better the whiole time. It was pretty weird but Iwas scared of how I would do without being able to take my muscle relaxers for my neck but the whole pregnancy I felt great - hardly and spasms & neck pain/headaches. Of course that is before I knew about the implant stuff and before I was diagnosed with fibro but I remember feeling really good for months at a time. maybe it was the hormones or vitamins?

good luck!!! I would love to feel well enough to have another baby as mine is getting ready to turn 3 but I don't think I could handle it yet.

Thanks Shari. Maybe I will feel better with all that extra progesterone! How is your 3 year old? Any problems?. except for bouts of eczema , which got really bad at one pint, Tyler has been fine. Always wondered... julie Re: - pregnancy

actually I am not sure if he has been affected or not - he has a lot of ear infections but I think that is normal. He also has a lot of unexplained fevers off and on and had febrile seizures from them althought that has happened in 8 months. i am not sure if it is normal kid stuff or implant related. I hope not - I would freak out!

Hmmm....just an idea here.....maybe our immune systems go on snooze mode a bit when we're pregnant, because the husband's genetic material in the baby would otherwise be considered foreign and attacked as an invader ?

Sounds normal to me. I would look into any further vaccinations though. Think of it, I had a total of 6 when I was little. Now they want him to have over 25 total types by kindergarden., And Im fine. my mom had only 4, shes fine too. Why do our kids need 5 times the amount? Who says the manufacters? No way...These kids dont need all this crap. It no wonder that we have so much allergies, asthma, ADD, autism, and other issues Its all about the mercury added. And other disgusting stuff. Just the way they now make vaccinations is enough to make you throw up. And we are putting it in out kids.

Tyler hasnt recevied all of them, but some. I dont want to take any additional chances, seeing that I exoposed him to the toxins and infections of implants Tip? Dr Mercola has a great videotape of the dangers of them, by a well known doctor. Great video! We have went to about 3 seminars as well. Very scary....I just dont want to over expose him, but also be safe about vaccinations he truly needs. Start reading some info in it. I would recommends all mothers/ parents do, but esp us with having already exposed them to other things that could supress immunity.Products that maunfacters claim are safe.Just like implants. Whatever...

Just wanted to give you a bit of positive news.

My friend had her implants removed four years ago, she had a daughter Jessie a year ago and she is perfect.

has been very ill she has M E and has been on a very strict diet since her removal until she was expecting the baby, but everything went really really well. was scared she would react to the injections after the birth, and the pain killers during the birth but neither happened.

Hope this makes you feel a little better, by the way is doing great and so is baby Jessie she is beautiful and totally unaffected by silicone.

,

I also wanted to give encouragement for trying for another baby. At

this point, you are probably MUCH healthier than other women who

conceive. I think you will be fine!

Hi

thank you for your response - your kind words have persuaded Hannah to post! she is still very frightened of this disease having been misdiagnosed with annorexia and losing four stone and her hair. Needless to say she has gained all that back now and looks wonderful - but there are still emotional scars!

thanks

Hi - ugh!! how to fix stupid doctors should be the real effort. All doctors should be required to take courses in practical communication!!If I remember correctly, you are in Europe so my experience here in the states may be somewhat different. Our OB's here are so worried about malpractice, they just tend to ignore your wishes and go for what they think is safest.Unfortunatly, I can't tell you how to do that other than to say that for my first pregnancy/delivery (I am 15 years post op from an open Hellers with (I think) a full wrap) I had NO problems with my delivery in regards to having Achalasia. I am now 26 weeks in my second pregnancy and if she doesn't mind waiting until the end of February, I'll be more than happy to share my second delivery experience.What I did find was that I had to be TOTALLY STRONG AND

DILIGENT through the whole process. I spend months of routine OB appointments talking to the doctors in the practice over and over again about having A and what I would need. I wrote a birth plan and put an explaination of A in bold capital letters at the top. I still got hell from the nursing staff when I showed up to the hospital with a big cup of Ginger tea but had to stand my ground - I wouldn't let them take it away. I also had to tell the doctors on rounds and the nursing staff EACH AND EVERY TIME I needed pain meds that I can't take Ibuprofen. You'd think they'd update my chart somewhere??what I'm doing differently this time is I'm using a mid-wife center. I'm lucky to have a great one in my area that is located within the hospital - so OR's are there in case of emergency. Already though, it's easier to deal with them because they don't care if I bring something to drink and my pain should be considerable reduced. I also

took the liberty of listing Ibuprofen and anaprox as allergies - that way they don't even question it.Hope all goes well, as I've seen elsewhere around here - 'listen to your gut' pun intended. Your daughter will be fine. Please ask her to come by some time and post - we'd love to 'meet' her and maybe she'll feel better knowing some others with the same concerns!!Happy Swallowing!-__________________________________________________
