Guest guest Posted October 5, 2000 Report Share Posted October 5, 2000 Hi , We are practically neighbors. I also have AIH, I'm going on my second year. Sorry to hear your biopsy was painful. Some here have also had a rough time when it came to their biopsy. Your going to meet some really great people, who try their best to help.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2000 Report Share Posted October 5, 2000 , You're posting just fine. Gee, you had a pretty quick diagnosis! <grin> I've been about 5 years, and they keep changing their mind. Now, what they think is that I do have AIH, but a rare (or would that be, even rarer?) variant. So, I guess I'm the list's deviant!! LOL!! Anyway, Hi! And don't stop posting. I'm sure you have lots of concerns and questions. It's a pretty safe bet that someone here has experienced the same thing as you, regardless of how weird it may seem!

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2002 Report Share Posted July 6, 2002 I will definitely keep this in mind, even though I don't have diabetic symptoms, per se (I don't think). My mother has thyroid problems. I am not sure which kind. However, it will have to wait until I can go to the doc. > i would check into your thyroid too... > i am finding by the info i have received on many > lists im on that the thyroid can give many symptoms > of diabeties... just remember that breads and pastas > etc turn into sugar in your body...

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2002 Report Share Posted October 27, 2002 Art The other unsung hero is PARSLEY and to me it tastes a lot better than collards and kale. I prefer the flat leaved, Italian parsley. When used fresh, it also contains vitamins and enzymes that are lost when things are dried, heated or processed. I substitute it for a lot of lettuce in salads, add it just before serving in soups, stews and scrambled eggs, etc. My source of alfalfa tablets are inexpensive, too. $10.00 for 500 10 grain tablets. mjh In a message dated 10/27/02 7:24:46 AM Eastern Standard Time, writes: > > RE: Alfalfa tablets. > > No question - the new array of blended so-called green foods products on the > market today is impressive.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Jeri, I would check with your surgeon and be sure that the walking issue is not coming from your neck. I know it sounds very odd. I had Harrington Rod surgery in 81. Rod broke at the bottom and they took big rod out and put in a small harrington compression rod. In 88, I had a fusion to the sacrum. L5 was sitting on the sciatic nerve. This year my neck started hurting and it turned out that I had really bad arthritis, bad disks and cord compression. This was due to my flatback posture. I have always shied away from the big revision surgery with the osteomies because I have no lower back pain (knock on wood). Anyways, this cord compression caused numbness in the hands and legs and loss of balance was an issue. I had surgery in June and he took the lamina off many of the cervical vertebrae. My recovery has been slow and painful but nothing is numb any longer. So - ask your doctor about the cervical area before deciding about the other. Good luck!
