Guest guest Posted October 9, 1998 Report Share Posted October 9, 1998 Does anyone know what the greatest length between zaps for any recipient has been? I'm going for the record! I tried to find out the same thing from my doc but he had a bloke who didn't have a zap for 8 years so he had another EP study and had it removed. I don't know if that counts though?

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2001 Report Share Posted February 1, 2001 Hi Sophia! *hugs* right back to ya hon! Things are okay here for now, just really busy and all. Hope that you're doing okay. Just a thought, has anyone mentioned L-carnitine and selenium to you all?? From what I understand, these, together with vitamin E are sometimes used as a rescue protocol for liver disease/failure... *hugs* Aleka16@... wrote: > Just wanted to say hi to EVERYONE AND hope this day if being good to > you.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 I think you are talking about Armour? I am taking Unithroid and a time released T3. The T3 has made a difference for me, I do have more energy, at least I can stay awake all day now!! <br><br>I have heard a lot of people mention Armour, and most of it is positive. I don't know why Doctors are so resistant to anything but Synthroid. If you look at <br><br><a href=http://thyroid.about.com/health/thyroid/mbody.htm target=new>http://thyroid.about.com/health/thyroid/mbody.htm</a><br><br>you can find articles to 'arm' yourself with for your next visit to the doctor in hopes of a better medication. Synthroid is not enough, and may be pulled off the shelves altogether in August of this year!<br><br>I hope you do well! You are so young to have gone undiagnosed for so many years! <br><br>Welcome to the club,<br>Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food wasn't awful and we shopped all day Monday (poor feet but sooo proud of me - hours of shopping and I kept up (no waiting in the car when I was done shopping lol) and no complaining - I get bored shopping but not this time - I found a cute skirt for $3. <<<It's supposed to get up to 82 today. Blech. It was in the 40s and rainy in Dallas but at least it felt like winter.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Good for you Bobby- Wal-Mart without the scooter... Well more good new is needed???::: My family and I just returned from a very pleasant trip to Death Valley where the wild flowers are gorgeous - so many varieties with all this rain! I have never seen anything like it - meadows of flowers and so much water in the valley. We bought a pick-up (Just for you Bobby: a Ford F-150 supercrew 5.4 Lariet) a few weeks ago, so we had to try it out. We rented a 26 foot camping trailer and pulled it almost 1,000 miles - a good test for the truck!! The truck was bought to pull a horse trailer, which we have yet to find. Also we have two girls turning 16 this month, so another vehicle will be needed! So as you see life goes on and I go with it! I enjoy every day with my family. We have baby lambs in the meadow at the moment as well. The girls will take them to Fair in the summer.... well except for the one which was brought into the house for her first three days of life - we actually nursed her back to life and she is being bottled fed - Daisy is her name and she is more like a dog! Well life on the Ranch with teenagers is busy.......... but I love it. ~guin howdy hu shawn,,,i'm usually home and up late but last night i was out playing blackjack. gave them a gift go.... :-( :-( :-( :-(i have no advice to give either but i sure do hope you keep buggin' these guys and gals til they help you...i think i have to start looking for new doctors myself. my cardio puts his stethoscope on me for less than 2 sseconds and he is gone telling me to come back in three months... he stuck this new icd in me last september and it hasnt been read since. my site is all red and has moved up and one of the leads is sticking towards the outside of my skin. hasnt popped yet but i think one night in bed it may. the doc said it is where he put it and yet i know it has moved.anyhoo, when i remember i have to call an e.p. in new orleans i guess... thats the closest one i can find. i hate not to have a choice but they seem to be far and few between. that will give me a good excuse to stop at a new orleans casino and have a beer on bourbon street.....with gas going the way it is i dont go out often... i just bought a big silverado pickup and it has a screamer on it.... it screams every time i pass a gas station..... :-)take care and be good everybody... ps: i finally stopped using the scooters at walmart.... i actually go there most days and walk around the entire store.. i get winded easily but the hips are getting stronger and stronger.,,,, now im tryiing to strengthen the old ticker a bit.i had to put some good news out there.... everybody seems to be having troubles these days.... i hope there is other good news out there........by all, bob in missippi if it really is mississippi,,,, is there a mistersippi?????

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Hey Bob: Glad to hear that you got rid of the scooter at Wallmart. New gas guzzler sounds great too. Enjoy it. Since I am in Jersey City now I can't have a pick up because it's a pain to park in the street. I would love to have one of those double cab pick up trucks. Have one beer for me too in bourbon st. will you?? In the mean time I am going to have a Thalium Stress Test this friday. Wish me luck. I don't exactly know how far they push you on the treadmill but as soon as i feel anything i am stopping. Because it took me a long time to get rid of the anxious feeling after getting zapped and I don't want to get back in to that feeling again. Anyway all is well here. Take Care.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Llinda, don't worry, things will turn out OK. My employer knew about the Hep from the day I found out myself & it made no difference to him. For a few months - 6 or more - I told everyone I came in contact with about it, I had a big case of verbal diarhea & no one seemed to care. My freinds accepted it, my enemies didn't give a shit. You live in a small town, use this oppertunity to educate people about HCV, they'll listen to what you have to say(hopefully) Just one person listens & learns, you'll make the world a better place for everyone with HCV & who knows, if one person gets tested because of your story, it's all good - specially if they test positive. We love you girl so if things get heavy, come & vent. You won't believe the downright stupid things people get in their brains about HCV. I had one person ask if it was " that kind of hepatitis that turns into AIDS?" I straightened her out & I feel good that I could. Take care girl.
