not so much big in the tummy but she has a back side! That is causing

our biggest clothing problem right now. The other thing that

frustrates me is her shirts. She is very long in the torso but has

shorter arms. I usually end up with her rolling up her selves or

having her tummy hang out. If I were gifted in sewing I would start a

line of clothing just for children with Downs!

Hi Everyone,

I joined you today only. I was just reading the massages and suggestions

regarding cloths. I like the idea starting your own clothing

line,Atleast we can be benifited with that.

When I left the hospital I just wore slippers (with a grip) but slip on shoes would've probably been better but I had been in that place for two weeks and wanted home. About the van, sounds good to me I tried to get home in my mom's car but it was too low they were going to have two interns pick me up and put me in but then I would've had no way of getting out so I was driven home at the last minute by private ambulance. Personally I would the van easier to get into it might seem strange to some but when you can't bend at a 90 degree angle (not too sure if this is the rule with all surgeons) it is much easier to get up than lowering yourself.

Good luck with the surgery

Hi Shauna.

I have real problems buttoning my pants in the morning. My fingers and hands

have no strength. The buttons should be larger and concave and the

buttonholes are too small. I take a knife and slice them larger. I would

like jeans that have a sensible hook to fasten them. Also the tabs on

zippers need to be bigger so I can get a grip on them. I like polo shirts

made from a soft fabric that stretches when you put it on. My shoulders do

not work anymore. My 2 cents worth.

There are days I can not get dressed. I dream about a velcro bra. I would like

attractive pull over my head or step into options. I must be able to sit down

as I dress. I Cvan not find clothes I can dress myself easily in.

Shauna-

Remember that people who are in a wheelchair have different needs

than people who are able to walk.

A wheelchair skirt, for example, should have a shorter back than a

front (so that there is not fabric bunched up in back, nor the weird

creeping over the knee that happens sitting down).

Also, seams anywhere you sit, can be very painful after many hours

of sitting on them. Just a thought to keep in mind, when you are

designing.

Myself, I dream of pants- boot cut, slightly lower waist, with

elastic waist- high quality, wide elastic waist.

I want them in good fabric- soft but heavy twill, or wool gabardine.

They should come in neutral colors, and of course black. No stupid

pockets on the front, side or rear. No pleats.

Some lycra/spandex in the fabrics would be wonderful too- for some

reason fabrics in spandex feel like they keep my joints warmer.

I would also love, long shirts, pullover, with longer torso, to

cover that big elastic waist. Three quarter sleeves, with no buttons

to button. Pretty scoop necks and vnecks.

There are days I just cannot deal with buttons and zippers. The only

elastic waist pants that I can find are either yoga pants,

or " grandma polyester " (sorry to all grandmas out there, but you

have to admit the pants are not flattering to anyone).

I work in an office, and would love to have beautiful pants to wear,

that I didnt have to wake my dh up to help me put on.

Good luck with your designing!

Donna, you do belong here:) Were all here to learn how to live with

are chronic disease(s). We share stories, and it helps others to make

decisions at times. I am so glad to hear when people are doing good,

and able to work or just able to get out of the house. It gives hope

to us all. Hugs, Tawny

Hi, Donna. I'm Marina. I've been in the background for quite

sometime. But I saw your post and I had to respond to it. Don't think

that you are any less important than anyone else in this group. The

people in here are diverse and have varying types of symptoms at

varying degrees. Your pain and difficulties are just as important.

When you talk about your difficulties and what you are going through,

it may help someone who is in the same situation as you. It also makes

me long for those symptoms!! :-) Trust me, talking about what you are

going through to such a great group of people who can totally " get it "

makes such a difference. It's very theraputic. You need to talk and

get things out just as much as anyone else does. Personally, I'm

thrilled for you!! I don't wish my situation and issues on ANYbody!! I

pray that your symptoms don't get any worse. One of the many great and

wonderful things about everyone in here is that they are terrific

listeners!! So, hang in there!!.......Gentle Hugs, Marina

P.S...Sorry I haven't posted in several months. Hello to all my old

friends and welcome to all my new friends!! God Bless.

Don't just think clothing. Think accessories. I have a tough time

wearing watches. I usually can't handle anything on my wrists. Pin

on watches are nice (like nurses watches) but most of the faces are

too small for those of us with RA eyes.

I would very much appreciate a bra which I could slip over my head and tighten

somehow. I am quite large and need to wear one. I can not do straps or hooks.

This is making it difficult to leave the house unless someone can assist me.

If you have a Sears in your area, they can do free alterations! Just

have him try on the clothes and have them alter the problem areas.

By coincidence, I ended up making more lotion last night.

14 ounce of lotion, divided into two containers (had one old empty

one)

3/4 cup of epsom salts

* Divided epsom salts in two halves (so 3/8 cup each)

* Then put the salts into the two containers of lotion, each having

~7 ounce of lotion. So 3/8 cup of salts with 7 ounce of lotion

* Heated each container ~20 seconds.

* Shook like crazy! The lotion is partially melted and salts have

started dissolving, so shake it enough and the salts will completely

dissolve into soft lotion

* That did it.

Afterwards, I added 1/4 teaspoon of tea tree oil to each.

>> I hate to invest money in clothes I very well won't be able to wear

in a couple of months ... IF I STAY ON PROGRAM! I'll probably buy them,

if I do manage to lose the weight I can always pass them to Goodwill or

God Tell or some other charity. Or do consignment at a flea market or

something. I " m just focusing on working harder on staying on program.

Our one and only consignment store lasted about 6 months before she went

out of business, taking all the stuff with her that people left to be

sold. Lots of bad blood there. As far as thrift shops go, all we have is

a Salvation Army, and they *never* have plus sized clothing in all the

years I've been shopping there, not even in men's sizes. The one in

Kissimmee, FL had a nice plus size section, but not this one or the one

in the next city. We used to have a few other stores, like cancer Care

and a store run for the developmentally disabled group, but one is gone

and the other stopped selling clothes - too many problems with bugs.

What I *missed* going to this past year was the Fat Girl's Flea Market

in downtown Manhattan:

http://fatgirlfleamarket.com/

This is where I've gotten most of my clothes the past few years, aside

form the summer caftans I've been making. Last year I even bought 2

sundresses there. I usually spend the admission price and around another

$30 and come home with a minimum of 3 shopping bags full of great

clothing, a lot of it new from specialty manufacturers, like Big on

Batik.

www.bigonbatik.com/

Next year I don't care if Ed's aunt needs us to do stuff for her, she

can wait one more day because I'm going!

Spent some time at Justice today.... discovered " jeggings. " To me, it

sounds like some sort of awful Saturday Night Live skit (jeggings,

they're jeans like leggings) but really, they are.... look like skinny

jeans, but stretchy like leggings. didn't care for most of

them because they were snugger fitting, but we did find one pair that

was very soft, and thicker material than traditional thin leggings, and

they had different jeans-looking washes, black, brown, etc. Since they

were having a sale, I bought a pair for her, hopefully she'll get used

to them because they looked really cute and fashionable. Also, they

were too long (of course) but the salesgirl showed me that hers she was

wearing were also too long and she didn't even bother hemming them...

she just folded them under and they stayed fine and looked fine too...

always a bonus not to have to hem.

Jeggings... I still can't believe it's a word and people are running

around shopping for jeggings, but they fit the bill for us today :-)

Many here have said that mould, fungus can be washed out of clothing. I washed a

whole lot of things in the hottest water possible with borax amd tipped a cup of

vinegar in the rinse, i wore a woolen blend jacket to bed and got really sick,

def mould reactions. Are some clothing items safer than others and easier to

wash eg polyester, cotton or does it depend on the type of mould, fungus etc?

Im so reactive now im thinking of only saving supplements, glass cookware, my

brand new organic cotton bedding, bed base, and a very few items of clothing,

hardened plastic items, and urgent paperwork that i seal, keep in garbage bags

and inside plastic packing boxes in the shed until i can deal with them.

The intersting thing with the clothes is that they passed the sniff test and was

only after sleeping in them for about 5 hours that the reactions started.

[Guest guest]

what reactions did you have?

could you cover the mattress/box spring in plastic?

Hi denise i had extreme reactions, swelling glands in neck andbelow sternum,

difficulty breathing, itchy crawling skin, muscle weakness, hands swelled up,

itchyness in ears, running nose, itchy crawling sensation in eyes and over body,

feeling of unwellness and the scariest was thoughts that made no sense, weird

abstract dreams etc which hasnt happened before, i get brain fog but not weird

senseless dreams, there are symptoms ive missed im sure but these are the ones i

got last night and always get around this particular mould or fungus, i dont

seem to react to other moulds.

I need to take extreme precautions, hopefully i havnt contaminated anything here

like the bed or washing machine or furnishings grr. Wrapping the bed in plastic

would be a bad idea as it will trap moisture and cause anything to grow. Ive

thrown the offending item away and will try and sleep in there again tonight.

The trouble is the reactions are not always immediate.

, not knowing any better when I moved from my WDB to my sisters house I

took some clothes and the 2 hdtvs that I put in the original box's and felt sick

the entire time I was there. I stayed there for two weeks before I was

hospitalized (non mold related) and after the second day in the hospital I

started feeling normal again. When I was finally released my g/f picked me up

and within minutes became symptomatic again, it was january and she had a heavy

jacket on so Im thinking her jacket made me sick. Not wanting to go back to my

sisters house I moved into a hotel and it took me about 3 months to start to

feel better and start working out again and thats with all new clothes

I've been told by several of the veteran moldies to wash you clothing 3 times,

if it's not decontaminated after the third wash than to just get rid of it. FWIW

none of my clothes were never near the source, the mold was in the crawl space

and all my clothing was in the third level of the townhouse and none of them had

even the slightest hint of the musty smell associated with mold. I dont know if

youve tried ammonia in your wash I was told it works as well.

[Guest guest]

thanks dave,

my biggest problem is i can't tell one problem from the other? like you said,

after the hospital you felt normal, i have never felt normal, so all the sx are

blending and i can't tell whats what. like i don't know if i react to my

computer, or couch or food because i am so sick from everything, it is hard to

know where to start. the benzo is just wait to recovery, but like you said stay

away from supplements and vitamins, but with the mold, candida and mercury i

have to take some stuff. i have really worried about that. like i have to use

the dmsa and ala for mercury. i had my blood drawn and no vit d was detected at

all, and my calcium was very very low. so i take that. i don't take any of the

other supplement that andy culter recommends because i am so scared. my adrenals

are flat so i am trying adrenal support. from the mercury i have a copper def,

which is very dangerous so i have to supplement with copper. for the candida i

take probiotic, anti-fungal and candex. i am so afraid i will never recover from

the benzo because of the supplements but i have to extract the mercury and take

the copper, cal, vit d adrenal and candida. what am i to do. if i don't get rid

of the culprit mercury i will never get well. what do you think? will i recover

from the benzo b/c of this?

i am worn out

You could be sick from everything all together, not nec one thing or the other.

I got sick and then went looking for an answer and found at least 3 indoor

problems: lead dust after dry sanding paint (lead level found high in hair

analysis, then house inspection found it in underlayers of paint I had dry

sanded), several gas leaks in house (someone else smelled it, apparently I got

used to odor), and apparent moisture damage...never found exact location but on

culture dish levels not high but doctor believed too high for particular health

situation. There was ocratoxin found in cyct in pancreas and afloxin found in

urine. Retested a couple years later and none found after remediation.

Remediation, in not removing mold bec none found, but in air sealing house so

air from wall cavities, attic, basement, etc can't mingle with house air. I

have more work to do on house but I don't feel sick anymore at home.

Good advice Tug! Please read this and share with others: 

A female, age 53, dies of aspergillosis on Oct 12, 2009. She had been hurt while

serving in the Army but her disability isn’t what killed her. After stressing

through night classes she finally finishes her Master’s Degree in theology.

She becomes not only a pastor but also a counselor helping others through the

struggles of life. She gets sick with aspergillosis and dies three weeks from

the day she was diagnosed at Mercy hospital in Charlotte, NC.

My point? My air is now cleared from those dangerous spores, but had I not been

so determined to figure out what was causing me to be sick at Grace Avenue, had

God not given me the curiosity to seek the truth, I doubt I would have figured

out the true cause in time enough to save us.  If the cause of their sickness

can be discovered within a specific time period, where people have time enough

to get out or either resolve the problem by cleaning it up, they don’t have to

get sick or die! We were all healthy so we had some extra time. That extra time

was a gift from God for me to use wisely and so I did.

 

But sick people, the old, or weak are often not allowed the time I was. They get

too sick or even die before the real truth can be revealed. Then after they die

the doctors say “well, if she had not been immune compromised she would not

have diedâ€. 

 

That is like saying because a woman wears a short skirt it’s her fault she was

rape. It’s a big fat cop out for a lack of social responsibility to educate

the public about this issue.  In essence, it is blaming the victim for the

crime and that is WRONG! The crime belongs to the criminal.

 

But who is the real criminal, the toxic mold spores or the persons who knows

about them and doesn’t say anything about their dangers to warn others? In

fact the ones with the knowledge are guiltier than the actual toxic spores

themselves because knowledge is a gift to be shared and used wisely for the

forces of good.

 

Could she have got aspergillosis from any place where there were leaky pipes and

toxic spores being released into the air?  Technically speaking, yes. But

common sense will tell you that it is  prolonged exposure to these toxins which

is deadly. Are mycotoxins in our food? Yes, but the body doesn’t store toxins,

it can get rid of them, and therefore in healthy people no prolonged exposure

exists. Jane’s kidneys worked fine which only leaves one other place where she

was overly exposed to these toxins. Right in her own bedroom from the leak she

never took too much notice of. How do you notice something that hides in so much

silence?

 

But where do we draw the line between wasting our time and making an example out

of one land lord's negligence in order to bring public awareness? Would it

even help and what we would all go through... worth it? If so why? Is the

interconnection between the law and bringing forth public awareness worth our

efforts and does such interconnection even exist? At what expense do we dare

risk when seeking meaning and purpose to our lives and events that shape

them?  

How many times did they (doctors) say I was crazy when they found 8 lesions on

my sons brain and I told them what Dr. Shoemaker said about mold posioning

mimicking MS? And the leasions being in the same places on the brain. And I

showed them the levels of toxic air we had been breathing in. I was crying

trying to get them to listen me. But the don't and they put my son on copaxon (a

shot everyday for MS) which they swore he had. One year after leaving the toxic

moldy enviroment and one year from his first MRI with 8 leasions, he goes back

for another MRI and the leasions are completely gone!!! Now copaxon does not

cure MS. I think God did it and getting out of the moldy enviroment. What I'm

saying is people don't have to get sick and or even die from this stuff if they

know about it  before its too late.

, not knowing any better when I moved from my WDB to my sisters house I

took some clothes and the 2 hdtvs that I put in the original box's and felt sick

the entire time I was there. I stayed there for two weeks before I was

hospitalized (non mold related) and after the second day in the hospital I

started feeling normal again. When I was finally released my g/f picked me up

and within minutes became symptomatic again, it was january and she had a heavy

jacket on so Im thinking her jacket made me sick. Not wanting to go back to my

sisters house I moved into a hotel and it took me about 3 months to start to

feel better and start working out again and thats with all new clothes

I've been told by several of the veteran moldies to wash you clothing 3 times,

if it's not decontaminated after the third wash than to just get rid of it. FWIW

none of my clothes were never near the source, the mold was in the crawl space

and all my clothing was in the third level of the townhouse and none of them had

even the slightest hint of the musty smell associated with mold. I dont know if

youve tried ammonia in your wash I was told it works as well.

This paragraph below is so true!!! The real criminals are the ones that

know that their building has a mold problem but does nothing but keep it

quiet as possible and tell everyone that things are all under control!! This

is exactly what happened in my school!! Teachers, staff and parents were

NEVER given the inspection reports. Another teacher was confirmed with toxic

mold exposure, many students & staff had symptoms and 6 yrs. later they are

STILL open!!!! I call it child abuse!

But who is the real criminal, the toxic mold spores or the persons who

knows about them and doesn’t say anything about their dangers to warn others?

In fact the ones with the knowledge are guiltier than the actual toxic

spores themselves because knowledge is a gift to be shared and used wisely for

the forces of good.
