Guest guest Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 Marta, portobella mushrooms are allowed and they're sooo yummy.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 Hi , I'm new to the list. I have read the book you are referencing and yes, I am type O, as are all of my children. Our GP wants to test my ten year old son for thyroid disease. I was diagnosed in 1993 and had a partial thyroidectomy in 1994. I really thought about giving in and eating as prescribed by the book but I was not ready to give up mushrooms. And that's the truth. Isn't that sad? LOL.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 What book are you all talking about, I have been reading the post. I was diagnosed with Hashi's in October of last year and I am still learning. I am taking synthroid, does anyone use alternative medicine for their hashi's? -----Original Message-----From: Pierce Sent: Sunday, February 02, 2003 1:22 PMTo: Thyroiditis Subject: RE: HelloMarta,portobella mushrooms are allowed and they're sooo yummy.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Dear Recent Posters, I am going to write one big email to address some of the recent posters today, ok? Patti, you haven't mentioned the wrist/hand problem. What up with that? It breaks my heart to know you have to have help doing stuff around the house because I know how independant and self sufficient you are. Eventually the meds will be figured out and you will improve. This is my hope for you. I have heard stories--some on this very group --of those who were in awful shape and came back from it. Don't give up and keep working with your doctors. It sounds like they have a plan. Keep up your great attitude!! Sandy, Since I haven't figured out the EN cure yet (and I have not by any means given up) I hope we can all discover ways to lengthen our remissions and make the flare-ups briefer and less severe. I am having such fine results with the anti-embolism stocking and once your current flare-up has subsided, perhaps you will give it a try. Putting the stocking on while in flare-up is painful, but I think wearing it between flares is helping to keep the edema down and that in turn may be less stimulating to the immune cell clusters. This is just a theory of course--one of many on this site. I am still eating garlic and using the peroxide gel on my teeth, which may be addressing hidden strep infection. Sharon, I have many different sized shoes in my closet too. I have the situation of having one EN leg only. When that foot swells I wear a loose shoe and put an insert in the other shoe to take up the slack. I have a pair of black canvas " mary-janes " that are so comfy. Mostly they give the illusion of wearing shoes. They are really just glorified slippers. It is nearly 3 months since my last EN flare up. This is the longest I have gone in a very long time. I do have a question. For those who are using the TEDS stockings, how do you keep them up? Garter belt? Mine seem to slip when I go for walks even though there is a wide elastic band high on the thigh. If I wore the smaller size, I know it would be uncomfortably tight. Lots of us are in pain as we approach the weekend. I hope we will all get rested and relax, and find reason to be happy in spite of the pain and discomfort. I thank all of you for your participation in this group. The support, and exchange of ideas is what makes our group so special.

If I wore the smaller size, I know it would be > uncomfortably tight. I was told to wear mine (prescribed for vasculitis which is what my " EN-like " symptoms were described as causing) DURING a flare up to keep the veins compressed so blood flows normally instead of " leaking out " causing the edema/swelling. I had mine fitted at a medical supply house - they are supposed to be very snug (there are varying degrees of compression depending upon the problem) but feel pretty good after they have been on for 15 minutes or so. If fitted properly, and not stretched out of shape by improper care, loss of elasticity, or putting them on incorrectly (they should be kind of rolled up the leg) etc. they should stay up by themselves. Mine come just to the top of my knees and my legs were measured for both length from heel to calf and heel to knee to get the length; the circumference of my largest leg was also measured at the ankle and the widest part of the calf. Though I've still got the bruised look where I had lumps a year ago, the lumps have not returned. If I press on my leg, what should be soft fatty tissue is somewhat hardened but " lumpless " on the surface. Sue --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Has your boyfriend tried using a support stocking? Greetings Robin My wife just snuck some in our basket as Wal Mart Thursday. They are great and comfortable and your boy friend might like them I have three different colors. Now I can mix and match.LOL I wear them for blood clots in my legs. Friends, Jim /cns vasculitis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Dear Robin, We on this group are doing everything we can to make that day come soon! I think of EN as a puzzle, and all of us have a tiny piece of that puzzle...a part that may be exactly what we need to figure it out. By sharing information we are learning so much more than we could alone. Has your boyfriend tried using a support stocking? I know it may be difficult when there is a lot of pain and swelling, but it does help to reduce the swelling, and rather quickly. An ACE bandage can also be used and it can be wound as loosly as needed for comfort. I have been wearing a TEDS stocking with great success. I only get EN in my left leg, and so I only wear one stocking. I call it a " fashion statement " :-). I have felt so much better since using it, and right now I am in a nice remission without taking meds. Please give your boyfriend our best regards, and wishes for getting into remission and feelling better soon. Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sniors say that don't call me sir and what not but even when we write to our seniors SIR comes automatically, perhaps it is genetically inherited in MGIMS.
