There is hope. I was at a point where I could not remember where I had parked or

even how to get home. Working on my thesis became an impossible task, but don't

fear, the healthier I become to better I'm with my memory....continue on the

diet and supplements and you will see the results.

, I have this very bad. In fact my husband started telling me Ihad early

Alzheimers. I laughed it off but was secretly afraid cause Iknew something was

wrong.It is all my short term memory. I have it so bad I will think ofsomething

to google and type in google.com and forget what I wanted tosearch for just that

quick. I thought maybe I had a stroke or Alzheimers disease. I am not goingto

the doctor for a CAT scan or MRI. In fact, I don't think I will beseeing another

doctor unless I have a traumatic amputation, lossconsciousness or someone takes

me there by ambulance.I was already skeptical, but when a doctor will only

acknowledge yeastin the mouth or vagina, I lose all faith cause that means he

has nocommon sense. I mean isn't the mouth and vagina part of the whole bodyand

if yeast can overgrow in those places, it can grow anywhere in

thebody.Phyllis>> Hi,> > Sometimes, when I speak to

Edie, thanks for the support. This is why I love this group so much

cause the people here can understand what I am going through.

Sometimes I get depressed and say 'why me' when I see people around me

with so much energy. Then I think maybe they are sick and just not

saying anything. None of my family is aware of how sick I have been.

I was reading an article today in the Pittsburgh newspaper about a

Pilot that is 42 and diagnosed with early alzheimers. He was also

taking that medicine that I was taking. I know he has candida overgrowth.

You know I guess people don't want to beleive in this disease cause

doctors don't acknowledge it. I conversed with a lady who said she had

had chronic fatigue for 15 years. I told her about candida. She was

very very skeptical.

I have so many family members that are sick and they only need to be

on this program. My doctor once told me because my MOM died at 51 of a

massive heart attack I was at risk. That never made sense to me cause

my mom , bless her heart, died early cause she had a very unhealthy

lifestyle and weight. What does that have to do with me?

It also makes sense why I had heart and kidney failure cause like Bee

says, candida toxins makes the cells stiff, and if the cells are stiff

they obviously can't function. My doctor fired me cause I wouldn't

take his poison that helped give me heart and kidney failure in the

first place. I have chosen not to see any doctors. My urination has

increased,I am losing weight, and I am not retaining fluids, therefore

my kidneys must be working. I no longer have those awful every other

beat PVC's. SO my heart is healing too )) I just got to work on this

blood pressure.

Yes Berni, and I'm sure there are many others on the list who are

experiencing what you are. It does suck, because you can feel pretty down at

first, and for me, extremely tired. I was relieved when Bee said recently

that she had fatigue really bad at first too. I am so happy to have the

people on this list for support!

-----Original Message-----

I feel so much better, not that other people are suffering, but that I

at least know why my brain is skipping on me. I was getting really

down and depressed wondering what was up with me.. At times I used to

think I am just really stupid cos I could not recall something I said

or did 2 seconds prior. I am glad to have this support system, it

makes the whole experience that much more bearable.

Thanks,

Berni.

Hi, Rhoda

Well sure guys are into electronics. But here on this group, there are probably

MORE women doing this than guys. Why? Women find themselves often in

caregiving roles. Men like the gadgets, I know I do. But women are the key to

the success of this, and they do most of the work here, too. Rowena, to name

one, has done tons for it.

Sure we had to bite the bullet and get the technology down. The first godzilla

I built was more like a stun gun, it knocked me off my chair. That was a LONG

time ago, and as a result, the devices you see here are ESPECIALLY nice.

Believe me, I learned to design them to be easy and mild on people, having

gotten shocks and 3rd degree burns from the early experiments. You are not

going to have to put up with that!

Women are the key to getting this out there and applied. I know this for a

fact. Men will mess with it endlessly but not usually apply it to people's

problems..see? There's always exceptions, of course. In my case, I bridge the

gaps and get you devices, and technology to use, along with the men who help us

figure it all out. But it's women who get it done. You women were there for us

before we even HAD doctors. You're in the right place now, at the right time.

Go for it.

Hi Ann,

Even though you are born with eyes you have to "teach" your eyes to see. Think of it as connecting the cables to the brain. If you don't connect the wiring to the brain the brain doesn't think an eye is there which is why you have 'lazy' or 'wandering' eyes. You have a window of time to teach and/or improve the vision which is why it's important to patch early and for the recommended amount of time.

It's difficult to get the right measurement to lift the lids because the patient is asleep so you may want to consider using surgical tape to lift the lid which is a trick another parent used. I wish I had known about it before doing the additional surgery on my son as he has teary eyes, which may be normal for him but also may be because he has dry eyes as a result of his bleph.

We have put off the more serious plastic surgery until he is older and his face has matured. (now 11 1/2).

Hope this helps.

blepharophimosis From: themamacatt@...Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2010 22:13:48 -0700Subject: blepharophimosis Confusion

Recently they started having us patch Catalina (about 3 weeks now). She is 2 1/2 years old. She does just fine with it. We got her the Ortopads for girls (they come with girly designs on them, they have them for boys too). I personally have not noticed a difference since she has been wearing them (other than she is clutzier than ever!), but her Dr. saw her today and said she is now opening her weaker eye and additional millimeter more than 3 weeks ago. Her stronger eye now opens 1 millimeter less, but her Dr. does not seem concerned about that. Her Dr. keeps bringing up the possibility of another surgery to raise her lids higher (she just had her 2nd surgery Feb 9th), but I don't think our surgeon is too keen on that idea. He doesn't want to do too much since she is still so little and her face is still changing. We won't find anything more out for another few weeks.

Just thought I would let you know, we are just as confused as you are! You are definitely not alone!

Patching has helped my daughter's weaker eye considerably, we only patched 30 every other day, and it helped a lot. Glasses also helped, and wearing the glasses all the time, from wake up to bedtime, made a big difference.

I am 39 and still have a lazy eye, without my glasses it's quite noticeable and I just completely "ignore" my left eye and use only my right.

Lazy eye is very common and most ped optham are good about knowing how to patch, right RX for glasses, etc.,

Thank you to everyone who has replied about this. It is good to know we are not

alone and that is may help him to use his weaker eye more. He wears his glasses

all the time, but the unequal vision was with a new prescription which is why

the optometrist was concerned I think.

Thanks again

Caroline
