Trials and Tribulations !

Your situation reminds me a little of why I use inames in the first place.

I can at least change ISP as often as I want and still get my mail.

Hope things sort themselves out for you.

Mike,

Thanks for the compassion! I knew the service was going down the tubes,

was just a question of when. Was lucky to get a new, good & CHEAP ISP. Only

problem I'm having (except for having to change my e-address in gazillions

of places, is trying to get Eudora to accept a change in primary account.

Was able to add it with no problem, but making it the 'dominant " account is

stalling on changing passwords. If this doesn't clear up, will just have to

delete a line in the ini file (Eudora actually has tech support, & they

have taught me many things).

Main distraction right now is I have switched to Serzone, & took a large

dose to see what side-effects I would have (very dumb idea), so I didn't

sleep at all, had an asthma attack also, but I didn't seem to mind at all!

Was quite happy anyway. Suspect I may be particularly sensitive to it, &

may end up on smaller than usual dose. That would be a first for me (am

officially medically classed as a non-responder)

Ken,

Good luck with the new ISP and the new med. I hope it helps. I too am

giving it a whirl again and I'm up to the full dose that we've decided to

try this time, 100mg twice a day. I moved up to that dose on Monday, almost

a week ago now. Right now it's hard to tell if it's helping or not. I'm in

ungodly pain and exhausted. The trip went OK and all was really OK until

Wednesday evening. By Thursday evening I couldn't walk at all. J finished

up his work at noon on Friday and we took an earlier flight home, which was

murder on me but at least I knew I'd be able to sleep in my own bed that

night. Well, sleep isn't exactly what's happening here, for me, due to the

excessive pain. I'm hoping it will all calm down soon but meanwhile I'm

doing zilch, zero, nada. If I can get my bad leg to cooperate a bit I'll

feel better...should just be a matter of time and rest. Thankfully I have

the pain meds and an wonderfully supportive hubby.

Good luck with the med change, I hope it goes smoothly. Smoother than the

ISP change anyway!

CUL,

Ruthie

Hmmm.....I've been having difficulties with what I THOUGHT were allergies.

I, thankfully, don't normally have allergy problems however I have had minor

allergy problems in the past 12 years either in the Spring or Fall. It

doesn't happen every year and it usually doesn't last long. The symptoms I

get are a tightness in my chest, burning sensation when I breath, and this

feeling like I have to cough something up. I haven't had ANY allergy

symptoms for the past 4 years or so but two weeks ago they started up again.

I tried Benadryl, which usually helps, but I was so sleepy I couldn't stand

up! takes Allegra for his allergies (dust mites and some molds) when

they kick up and told me that the Allegra has no side effects that he's

noticed. I called my Dr. to ask if it was OK for me to use the Allegra for

my allergies and the gal called back and said the doc OK'd it and if I

wanted a 'script of my own for it she'd call one in.

Now the two things that are making me wonder if this is from the Serzone

are: usually with my allergies the symptoms go away if I stay in an air

conditioned environment, but this time that doesn't seem to help a lot, but

it does help some. Also, the symptoms didn't show up until I was on the

Serzone for about two weeks. I suppose I should call the doc and speak

directly to her to ask about this.

We know already I'm sensitive to this drug, as I am to most..or I respond

weirdly, and now your mention of the asthma has me wondering!

I hope you're feeling better!

CUL,

Hi Lyn,

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I note that you too are going through

some tough spots right now! Man, when it rains it pours for you, eh?? I

hope you're feeling better soon. I've never had pneumonia or pluresy (sp?)

but it sure sounds like you got a double-whammy with that one.

As for the idiot Dr. in your ng, ignore him. That's truly the best thing to

do. I know it's not easy, believe me I know, but giving him attention of

any sort will only encourage him to continue posting. Let's hope he goes

away, real soon now!

Today's not starting out too good here for me, had a very difficult time

sleeping, mostly because my pain level is so very high and partly, I think,

from the new med. Gave up and got up several hours ago and turned the

laptop on. I am SO thankful for having a laptop because at times I wouldn't

be able to do a thing on my computer without it. put an outlet for our

home network right here in the living room so that I can use the laptop from

either the couch or my chair, or his big chair if I want (where I am at the

moment). This way I can go online (the cable modem is on the network) or

use any of the computing resources I want to play with, no matter where I

plug the laptop in!

Weather here is disgusting. Humid, hot, and overcast. I'm frankly sick of

summer weather. We had an early Spring, after an easy Winter...very easy,

and by now I'm really tired of it all and can't wait for the cooler weather,

especially the Fall weather I love. We've had touches of it here and there

but nothing REALLY Fall-like. Labor Day weekend up in the Adirondacks was

nice because they're ahead of us, season-wise, and that was great.

Still more email to browse through!

CUL es gentle hugz!
