Guest guest Posted June 7, 2000 Report Share Posted June 7, 2000 Nora, An RE is a fertility specialist. It stands for Reproductive Endocrinologist. (I hope I got that right) Someone correct me if it's wrong. From what I hear they're a little more aggressive in ttc and more understanding of what we've been through. Even the receptionist when I called stopped me in the middle of my brief medical history to say how sorry she was about the ep. I knew right away it was different. I was so used to giving my facts I hardly took a breath, but she was able to jump in and made me feel so much more comfortable. Anyway they also do IVF. This is my first visit, so someone else may be able to explain it better. Joleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hey . :-) Thanks! I'm doing pretty well. I did a really poor job taking care of myself so it got to the point where I couldn't help people here. I'm finding it a challenge to not just ignore my needs but I realize I really have no other choice. I'm of no use to anyone, including myself, it I don't take care of myself. I should point out to those of you who don't know that once thought he'd never function again. Abrupt withdrawals and psychotropic drugs since he was a kid, found it difficult to trust anyone's advice. But he hung in here for years until little by little he begn to do some of the recommended things. The first time he felt better gave him the courage to try something else. Once he got going, there was no stopping him. At the time when was so stuck I used to get really frustrated. There were times that I felt I had spoken so sharply to him that it was way over the line and shouldn't have been done. Those who have been here for a while can attest that I can be pretty rough. I tirelessly rode him to take some action. When he finally did, he had one thing to say to me. He told me that he thought I went way too easy on him and that he needed to be pushed harder. After I picked up my jaw from the floor, I got a good laugh for at least 5 minutes. I still chuckle when I think about it, lol. You can find some of these early conversations by putting " grabar5 " (no quotation marks) in the message search box found on any message page after you click the MESSAGE icon on the home page. I hope you don't mind, . I think many people can benefit from reading about the path you walked. This way, it was not done in vain, but instead, was done to save others from the same trip. Thanks, !

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I guess we have some stuff in common catherine.... we both dont take care of ourselves when we want to do something. I guess we are both stubborn. Its kind of weird to read about myself from an outside perspective....I still get stuck a lot. I have trouble accepting i just cant do what i want to do or have to go through lack of emotion and more sensitivity. Its an everyday struggle esp. since im looking for jobs again. I get motions sickness if i sit at the computer too long. With my present job thats all i do. So i see jobs i want, but know that i probably wont be able to do them. I have been able to start being somewhat athletic again, which was such a big part of my life before the paxil. I play volleyball twice a week and once a month i play a little soccer. Im pretty competitive so its good to have that outlet available again. > > > Good to this site is up and running again... how are you doing > > catherine?
