Guest guest Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 I am 24 days away from my next vacation! We're going up to a state park along the bay. It's a beautiful campground we don't do much fishing, you really need to be equipped to do serious fishing in lake michigan. Lots of hiking and biking and swimming. Only 4 days back from vacation and I'm thinking about the next one... -dz- Hi Everyone I am leaving for a camping trip for most of the week.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2002 Report Share Posted July 27, 2002 , Be patient. It is a slow process. Mine still bothers and I have trouble with cramping so have to streatch the ham-string and calf muscles often. When you get on therapy be sure you do your homework exercises faithfully. It isn't fun but that's what will get you back in shape. Dennis [ ] Hi Hi Everyone I am leaving for a camping trip for most of the week.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 Hello I have a friend that is a successful child pyscologist with that. She seems to function very normally. She did indicate that she has some of the similar issues that I have with RA, i.e. if she is having a flare she would just as soon stay in bed on a sunny Saturday as get up (in fact, that is how she knows if she is in a flare). But the rest of her life seems to be fully functional. Kelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2002 Report Share Posted August 19, 2002 Hi Emre, Welcome to the list. Your English is wonderful and in any case, no one is here to give you a grade - we are all here to share, ask questions and help. I live on the third floor and I have to climb subway stairs everyday. I can tell you that " practice " does NOT make it any easier. If anything, it creates more joint and tendon damage to overuse sore feet, ankles, knees, hips, etc. The ideal thing would be to get your mother on a good medicine regimen (if possible) and perhaps for her to do some very light exercises that are low impact (exercises in a swimming pool are outstanding). Please don't be shy about asking questions. I'm very new here, but I can see that this is truly a support group in every sense. Best wishes, Kathy > I have lots of questions in my mind, but to start, we > live in a house with 3 floors. Up and down through > stairs for all day, does it mean a practice or can it > result in a worse way for the pains for my mother. > Mother says " it is really a torturous thing for her " . > > thanks for your help. > > -Emre > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emre - not sure I fully understood your question here - but steps are very hard on me. I even told my employer when he builds the new building, if there is no elevator, I cannot work for him. Luckily he put one in (I think because of the building code rather than just for me though). Is there any way to put your mother on just 1 floor? It would have to be where there is a bathroom and hopefully some type of kitchen facility as well. Maybe a room in the house is convertible into a bedroom/sitting area for her that she would only have to go the stairs maybe once per day. You can always put a small refridgerator and microwave in a bedroom to save trips to the kitchen during the day. I also have 3 floors - my laundry is on the 2nd floor with my bedroom - it's a Godsend to have it like that. My kitchen is on the 1st floor though, and I've never found a walker or cane very helpful on stairs. Hope your mother is pain free today, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Hi Albert, To be honest, I suspect your offer to be moderator and think it stems from anger and frustration rather than a wish for peace and harmony. I believe in the love Andy and Moira express by giving their time and expertise, to help us get our children better. The people you appear to find offensive don't seem offensive to me (with the exception of one person who I suspect might suffer from stress and maybe toxicity as well and deserve forgiveness). I have a feeling that were you to become moderator, we might loose the people most qualified to help from this list. If we were lucky, they might move to a different list and take most people with them. Also I believe when the issue of moderator has come up before, it was pointed out that this list is actually owned by somebody, who would have the right to make those decisions. As far as I am concerned, the Delete button on each persons computer is the most appropriate tool to deal with messages, which create anger, rather than taking up the time of several hundreds of people who want to use this list for a specific purpose.

My offer to be a moderator really is sincere, not motivated by anger and frustration. I really do believe in love, peace, and harmony. We just need to work together for the good of our children.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 I detect a groundswell of popular opinion in favour of Albert as moderator. Albert, I was wrong. You have set a fine example of Christian tolerance, forbearance, compassion and charity. You are a fine advertisement for your faith. I believe Albert's appointment would lead to greater harmony and more purposeful debate, raising the tone of the group immeasurably.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 I agree wholeheartedly!!! The silent majority is probably silent because the bad posts are so offensive. I just can't be bothered with anything but raising my family and helping my 8 year old daughter get better. This list has been wonderful for me, but the other stuff that gets posted about religion, politics, personal vendettas, etc. is really not to my liking. in Salt Lake City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 I'm sorry but I don't detect any " groundswell " , in fact just the opposite. The silence you hear on this topic is everyone not wanting to state their opinion because they fear they will upset Albert again. No one wants to hurt his feelings because he tends to over-react to everything. A moderator needs to be, primarily, objective and level-headed. Take a look at Albert's posts (especially #70194) and I don't think you will find he is a good candidate. I think we will be fine without a moderator. Issues will flare up and die down, and people will learn (hopefully) to ignore inflammatory remarks or opinions. It's just the nature of this type of open-exchange and we have to accept the bad with the good. Censorship will inhibit the flow of information more than the fear of a negative response to a question or remark. We need to put our egos aside and just get on with the purpose of this list and try to share information about healing our children. It's so hard to get people to just listen to the possibilities of mercury and chelation in the first place. I hate to think of the new members who are turned-off by the bickering and choose to not learn about chelation. Their children may have no other chance than this.

I was diagnosed with PA when I was 17 and have >had psoriasis on my scalp much longer than that..... Hi , welcome aboard! Like yourself, I started with scalp psoriasis at an early age and arthritis settled in my teens. By the time I was 20 things started to get really bad, quickly. The stress of university compounded that, worsening my arthritis. One thing that I didn't do until near the end of my studies was to arrange for extra time on exams. Dealing with 'brain fog' and swollen fingers and most importantly, the stress of a three-hour exam just made everything worse. When I was allowed an extra hour for exams, everything was a lot better. Nearly all of the exams were not time constrained anyway, because either you knew the material or you didn't. I'm now 30 and I'm doing just great, so glad to have all of that behind me now! Hang in there... and keep reading this list! Elfstrom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 Welcome . My P really started in college. Looking back, I can see periods where I probably had episodes of PA. The P covered my eyes every semester during finals. I also had the " hit by a truck " feeling during that time, but just figured I was tense when I went to sleep thinking about all the grades! College is a time of emotional ups and downs. I would suggest finding a Yoga class and learning to control that stress in a healthy way. It may help you stay in your current healthy condition. Good luck. Ks Di Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 Hey , I am 20 years old and a college student at Tulane in New Orleans. (I am from NY) I to dealt with all the crazy diagnosis' in early high school (started at 14 as well) It's a crazy road to deal with when you are just beginning to figure out who you are. I would love to talk about any of this so feel free to email me. I know it's scary- gosh knows I have wanted to transfer home so badly sometimes but you make it through somehow. A good friend of mine once told me that maybe we got this so young because somehow it will make us stronger people. I certainly feel strong now-I don't think I would have developed into the same person without the PA. Alyssa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
