Guest guest Posted March 21, 2001 Report Share Posted March 21, 2001 Connie We will welcome your friend with open arms - hope you are doing well. gets his 2nd dose of the Peg Intron after I get off work tonight and we are hoping it is not as bad this next time around. We do see his doctor next Monday so am glad of that before the 3rd injection. He is still having such a problem with headaches which he hates since they were getting under control on the combo treatment. Taking one day at a time. Smile.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2001 Report Share Posted March 21, 2001 Winnie Have you ever tried Tiger Balm for the headaches? I guess it works on the same principle that the ice packs do, it is super mentholated. You just put a little on each temple and across the forehead. I saw it at Wal-Mart, years ago in Miami I got it from Pier One Imports. So it looks like it got popular, smile........Connie I have not heard from her yet today is a 3 hour time difference. I want too Thank you all. I go for more labs tomorrow, which I detest! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2001 Report Share Posted March 22, 2001 LOL,did not offend me, it made me smile. She goes for her Biopsy I think April 12th. I talked to her a little bit today. Her blood looks good, platelets all the way up to 337, her RBC's are a bit low though 3.85. She has this beautiful very long hair, past her waist. I told her about the shampoo but I am not sure if I have it right Niotin or Biotin? --- Alley/Pat <alleypat@...> wrote: > connie.. yes!

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I have a friend and she knows what I have been through She went ahead anyway and had implants hers is silicone She even saw pic's and read many woman's horror stories She is under a study and her implants were cheaper Back when, if someone would have just warned me I would not be here now, that's for sure You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out The proof is in the pudding when there is evidence that woman are paying for breast implants having them taken out Sandy See... and the encounters I have with people who I've known to have implants... I tell them mine have made me sick, and they LOVE theirs! No problems at all. I've had 1 friend to get fibromyalgia, and she got hers out, felt better -and that was it. I've known about 15 other people who are just fine. No life changes at all. My sister in law had silicone, even had 1 rupture... was always just fine. I plant the seeds, though, so they know what to watch for. They think I'm nuts now, but they'll remember it if they get sick and know sooner what the cause is.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Patty, I'd like to see what you would have but on a card. Penni Re: My friend I've always said that there are many, many women out there who are sick from their implants and don't know it. Doctors are saying, "It's not the implants, it's not the implants", and as a result, we've got women sick and the cause is literally right under their noses! But they've been deceived....oh, it's so sad. I hope you find her again. Maybe those business cards are something we need to push for in every community where we are! We need to leave them in bathrooms, restaurants, on corkboards and bulletin boards....please go to www.vistaprint.com and order some free business cards. I posted how mine would look in a recent post, (using the blue spider web) and the wording. Let me know if anyone needs that to be reposted.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 One of our implant sisters is living the implant nightmare - for herself AND her children. . . She's does extensive research (she's not a doctor, but she's from a medical family) and learned that the HLA typing plays a big role in who will get sick and who won't . . . She was unfortunate to have the wrong genetic markers . . . and marry a man who had the wrong markers too . . . so her children have gotten a double whammy. If anyone is interested this area, there are websites that can help explain the HLA issues. IMHO, there are a number of issues involved . . . Sensitivity (genetic issues), contamination issues, and implant degradation issues . . . Sooner or later one of them is going to get anyone who has implants long enough (IMHO).

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hi , I saw your message and want you to know how sorry I am to hear about your friend. I am a breast cancer survivor, was diagnosed at the age of 28 with a 2 year old daughter. I had a very aggressive cancer, mastectomy, and chemo. I now have a son who is 6 and my daughter is 14. I always worry about bc, but I will be celebrating my 41st birthday this Dec. Not all is lost. Try, with compassion, to educated your friend. All of my friends are of the allopathic mind set and think they need to get all these vaccs. I wish I could help them undertand as well. We are all on our own path of enlightenment. We can only encourage them to educate and be informed. I saw the Gardner's PSI for the flu vac and cringed. Be there for your friend and gently reminder her that she shouldn't be getting any vaccines while she isn't healthy. Gently encourage her to educate herself--she is going through quite alot, but as a survivor, I think it is harder to watch someone you love go through something you have no control over than going through it yourself. For now, be her trusted friend but don't give up on the message she obviously need you to give to her--that's why you are in her life and she in yours.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Thank you for your kind words....it is tough isn't it? That is probably the problem in the first place with your father in law, how dare they just give shots like that without asking someone else in the family?! I doubt I can help my friend, she did say she is looking into PH levels, at least that is another option, she might be listening to me a little. Take care, Western NY -- Re: My Friend , I know how you feel! My sister in law has a heart disorder (due to rheumatic fever when she was a kid) and my father in law is dieing of ALS. They both got Flu shots this year! I almost lost it when I found out my father in law was given his flu shot when he went in to get a check-up. He is in the 5th stage and has been having to be sedated b/c he's been so hysterical. Not quite the same as breast cancer but I totally understand where you are coming from. I am very sorry to hear about your friend. It's hard when people won't listen to you (my mom and grandmother are the same way). Best of Luck! Maybe you will be able to find another way to help her.
