Hi Bozena!

Thanks for replying. I have only been on my meds for a little over a week now. I am still unsure of how my body is going to continue to react.

Hopefully, the stomach cramping was just a one-time thing. I hope that things are going well with you! I keep saying prayers for all of my new friends that I have met through here. Take Care!

Bozena,

Thanks for responding! I guess I will have to keep researching more of my nursing books for another diagnosis that is rare...just like AIH.

(there is absolutely nothing about that). I think that we find out more information about our health problems from this support group than from our own Doctor's sometimes. AHHH the power of knowledge. I am getting such an education from everyone here! It is good that we can get info from people who really know what we are going through, and be able rely on each other too!!! I guess in many ways we are lucky, but health wise...oh well, I wont go there. (too depressing, want to stay happy)!!!

Don't worry about what might come up next. Take each day as it comes, and stay strong and positive for the next! You are in my thoughts and prayers!

Sincerely,

Pam in CT

Dear Pam,

Thank you so much for this kind e-mail..

I had to travel 612 miles one way.

I am so glad you have good facilities near you.

Take care and God bless,

Thanks again for your reply.

Hi LynI'm not surprised at all that you felt scared and upset, especially as you don't have specialist facilities near where you live. How far did you have to travel to visit the Mayo clinic? Then there is the problem and expense of accomodation, and travel when you feel ill is no joke.

Take care LynAnd best wishes to all on this siteLove Pam Leeds England

I believe the spelling is Pheriphreal Neuropathy. My symptoms are

stinging sensations here and there in my hands/fee. tightness and

heavy feeling in lower leg, swelling in joints in back of leg where

it bends, burning/itchy feeling in hands and feet. These symptoms

come and go, but the heavy/tight feeling in lower legs come more

often now. Thanks for your question. JoAnn

This is my 1st time sending e-mails thru the group instead of my own

e-mail. I'm using Chris's comp. upstairs since mine is in the shop.

It's weird how when my e-mail showed up on the group, it was all

choppy, with words all over the place. It looks like I was trying to

be real funky with my typing skills.

When was explaining to me why my comp. kept getting all these

weird error messages and then had to be taken into the shop-he

compared it to if someone was sleeping around without a condom.

Because I just found out about his affair, it gave me a sick feeling

to hear him say that (I'm sure he didn't have safe sex) so I gave

him a dirty look and stormed out of the office-he apologized over

and over for it-it's just going to take a long,long time for me to

ever get over this. I told him that I want him to get tested for

STDs and he said that he would. It makes my stomach turn to think of

all his lies. I wonder how common this really is and how many women

even find out? Do any women really ever forgive their husbands for

an affair???? How can I think of him as the love of my life now? I'm

so angry and hurt. I thought that my old implants were causing me

insecurity and pain-that problem doesn't seem as big right now.

Thanks for all the great advice you gave me in Idaho. I hope that we

can get thru this. I'm glad that you have a loving marriage. I loved

the pictures you brought of your daughter and grandson. You are such

a beautiful girl and you looked so healthy! I still can't believe

that you are a Grandma. I thought that everyone there seemed cured

from their poisoning. No one would have guessed how we all knew each

other. I seemed to be the only tired one there!

Love, Daryl
