Guest guest Posted September 12, 1999 Report Share Posted September 12, 1999 Hello! I have had a lot of troubles with sinus. It normally takes two to three rounds of antibiotic to take care of it too. I hadn't though about the PA and sinus. I have wondered what is going to happen when I get my nest sinus problem will I am on the MTX though. It is so hard for me to get better as it is. I have a very bad case of sinus infection this past winter. I was in pretty bad shape. I started to shed hair like crazy after that. That is what got my doctors attention and led to the PA diagnosis.

Have had both bronchitis and pneumonia since then - often both at the same time. I can't say it has been any worse than before, but sometimes it does take more than one round of antibiotic to clear it up, and sometimes many weeks for me to gain back what little strength I had to begin with.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Lorie, Many thanks for your kind & gracious words. The part you have played in my completion is far from small & my gratitude will last forever, as well as my support to you & to others in the quest to kick EtG's fanny. No, I haven't tried that particular flavor of ice cream but I've got to say that plain old vanilla ice cream never tasted so luscious as it did last week! Funny what can just make one's day nearly perfect.... MarshaLorie Garlick <lorieg@...> wrote: Marsha, Through all the chaos that EtG testing has brought into our lives, it is WONDERFUL to see you overcome this huge obstacle. As I told you last week, you offer me great HOPE...It CAN be done. I know it has not been easy for you, but you have done it with dignity and grace. You inspire me. It will be a while, but I, too, will be in your shoes one day. Congratulations, Lorie P.S.: Have you tried the Ben and Jerry's Dublin Mudslide Ice Cream yet? Anything Is Possible To my EtG friends, I want to share with you my very good news & in doing so perhaps offer a little hope for any of you in the same position I was in 2 yrs ago this month---living in + EtG hell. I met with my DEC in Sacramento today for the final time: I had my file stamped "successful completion 9/11/07". I am done, free, out of Diversion after 4 1/2 yrs in the program formally, nearly 5 yrs sober (11/9/02). 2 yrs ago at this time I was ready to walk away from Diversion due to my stress level & a lot of related physical symptoms because of a series of 6 + EtG's in a 4 1/2 mo time period. My DEC at that time encouraged me to hang in until the next DEC in December provided I had no further +'s---a big IF for sure (any more +'s & I was instantly out of the program). I hesitantly & fearfully agreed. I stopped using Tylenol & stopped drinking flavored coffees--- & the + tests stopped. I remained vigilant re: use of cosmetics, cleaners, foods, etc & hung in with this site for support. I did not do this alone. To each & every one of you who posted words of wisdom, knowledge & encouragement I offer you the biggest heartfelt thanks ever. You have become not only my EtG friends, but my EtG family as well. I will continue to remain involved with the site & encourage all of you in EtG hell to stay on course. Anything is possible. Though I finished a full year after I would have if EtG had not interrupted the journey, I did finish & it feels damn good. Warmest regards, Marsha = Check out the hottest 2008 models today at Autos.
