Hi Delaine and Jim,

Your note was very interesting. I use to drink about 12 cans of Pepsi a

day. I did this for years, it got worse when I was a manager in a retail

store. We never had time to stop and eat, so I just drank one soda after

the other. A little over a year ago, I stopped all soda. I was surprised

it wasn't even hard to stop. Since I have been having all the stomach

problems I was getting concerned because I have been drinking ginger ale.

I just needed something to settle things down once in awhile. I don't ever

want to start drinking all that soda again. Your article is interesting, I

am always trying to find out why I have this RA. It does not run in my

family.

Me Mom

Have you tried ginger tea? It may be more soothing than the ginger ale,

especially since it is winter!

,

I sent a link in that tells about different teas. Read the one on ginger.

It really

helps the stomach, and is used by people going through chemotherapy. It

is also great for motion sickness. You can make your own or buy it in tea

bags.

I hope it helps.

I'm feeling better thanks. is still up half the night coughing his

brains out.

This bug is enjoying hanging on to him.

I'm glad you are able to go back to school. I am still in limbo land, so I

will probably

take an online course.

I'm glad you are feeling better, and hope you continue to improve.

November 28, 2000

Hi a,

I am going to look into the tea. I saw the primary today and he feels

that the pancreatitis may have come from high cholesterol in the blood. He

said even though my cholesterol is under control now it was very high for

how long we don't know. The pancreatitis thing can happen when it is high.

The stomach problem is a separate problem. Tomorrow is the hida scan and

it will take about four hours. It will show whether the gallbladder is

diseased or not. I told him though that I would not have it out before

Xmas, and then after that it is school time. Guess I am scared and buying

time, but I am losing so much weight. I am just going to take it day by

day. I went up to the college today because advisors were up there. What

a pain, all the way up to the campus and no liberal arts advisors, such a

waste of time. I am going to go on line, I need to make sure all my

credits will transfer. I don't want to transfer and find out that I have

taken things that won't help me.

I'm dreading tomorrow but I guess I need to do this test. It is just that

things don't go well for me. I called the people who make remicade and

reported the pancreatitis. This has happened to three other people but

they don't know if it was the drug or something else. Anyway I wanted it

documented what happened to me.

Hope you are having a good day. Thank you for your help with the tea.

Me Mom

:

Regarding your SS hearing, do you have an attorney to help? Sometimes by the

time you get to the hearing stage, it is good to have one to help you. I got

the SSD on the second appeal, thank God. I really got it for depression

first, then they re-evaluated for RA as well. It is easier to get it for

depression believe it or not than for physical problems. They have some

pretty wierd rules. Best of Luck.

I hope he is right so that you can continue with your remicade. I'll be

praying that your scan tomorrow has good results. I don't blame

you for being scared. I would be scared too.

Sorry your trip to register wasn't productive.

I hope you get your health issues resolved and can return to school.

Hi a,

Thank you, I wish I didn't have to do this but I know it is necessary. At

least between yesterday and today, both doctors have told me they will send

the necessary letters I need for the S.S. hearing that is coming up very

soon. We don't have the date yet but it will be very soon. I'll let you

know how it goes.

Hi Jeannette,

Yes I do have an attorney. This is my second time, to be honest when the

doctor offered me elavil I took it because I knew it being an

anti-depressant would help my case. I am not trying to be dishonest but it

is so difficult to get the SS approved. I have been approved three times

at the district level and when it gets to burg it gets refused. I

was just in reconsideration for over one year. They just couldn't make up

their minds. So when this drug was offered I took it without complaining.

You are right it is easier to get it for depression than a physical

ailment. I guess they just have to be careful and sure that a person needs

it. Glad your mom and dad are starting to do better. It is so hard when

your parents get ill. My mom is 78 and I know time grows short, so we

treasure her while we have her.

Me Mom
