Guest guest Posted April 13, 2000 Report Share Posted April 13, 2000 , I want to take the time to welcome you to the group. I am sorry that I haven't posted before now but it is better late than never. You will find a great deal of info and lots of love and support. I am very sorry that you have come to meet us all this way. We all sympathize and share those same feelings with you. I saw that you take care of your mother. I know how hard that is. We live next door to my mom and we took care of my dad until he passed away Nov.98. He had suffered with Parkinson's disease for 20 years. It works alot like alzheimer's disease. I can also sympathize with you on this too. It is a very hard thing to do but one you won't regret. I think it would be great if you could get away for just a little while and take some rest. I wish we had someone that would have helped us with dad. I wouldn't feel so tired all the time now. It takes alot of energy and lots of patience with the sick as I know that you know. I am thinking about you and praying for you. If you ever want to email privately my email addy is nora@... . Please take care of yourself and have a great evening. Nora hello Hi everyone, I just wanted to say thank you for all the responses. I am excited to be a part of this group--as I am already feeling a little more positive about the future after reading the messages on this site. My ob/gyn doesn't feel that we will get very far with any further testing. She feels that my past history with pre-cancerous cells on my cervix has something to do with it. I have had several surgeries. I am still very " raw " from the loss. I am actually thinking of going away next week for a few days with my dh--just to get away from the family. We live my parents right now, my mother is a brittle diabetic with a heart condition and alzheimer's --so we help my father take care of her. Life hasn't dealt me many positive things lately. Thank you all for listening. I need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2000 Report Share Posted May 3, 2000 Dear , I am so sorry for you and your dh loss. I am glad you found this group. I am sorry your ep was so hard for the drs. to diagnose. Sometimes I get this crazy idea that I would like to start a group to inform obgyns how to check for ectopics. The on-call doctor I called the first night I had complications told me not to worry and gave me no insturctions/precautions for signs to look for. I also think these obgyns should belong or receive info on groups such as this so they can be more sympathetic. (I am sorry for going on a soap box). As for your other message, I am not a doctor but I don't think you should go on the pill before ttc, it can really screw up your cycle. Another thing my NEW obgyn said was to stay on the prenatals. We are charting and using condoms until our " 3 month " wait is over. One more thing, I am having an HSG done also before I TTC per my drs. suggestion. I am here if you ever need to talk. I too am new, ep 3/13. Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2000 Report Share Posted May 3, 2000 , I am sorry you have a reason to come here, but glad that you found us. My ectopic was 3/11/00 and resolved with methotrexate. I will not be able to try until my third AF and I am expecting the first at any time. Write anytime you need anything. I hope you post op appointment goes well, Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps candida. If yours worsens with magnesium, look at the additives in the magnesium and instead, get pure magnesium by Gillham at www.vitacost.com > > > Here is what Eby says.

If a malabsorption problem exists, it is usually much more complicated than Eby presents. The malabsorption problem itself feeds the candida, not the magnesium. > > > Eby says: > > " Some people can't absorb ionizable magnesium compounds since they have intestinal problems, such as candida albicans infection and other problems perhaps of a medical nature, and they develop diarrhea with relatively small doses of ionizable magnesium like magnesium chloride, citrate, lactate, glycinate and so on. I believe they can't absorb ionizable magnesium since ionizable magnesium first feeds candida albicans fungus or other infective agent in the guts, thus worsening intestinal health and diminishing absorption. I don't know if this condition is rare or common, but suspect it is rare in well people but more common in sick people such as depressives. Perhaps leaky gut syndrome is present. There are fascinating tidbits of information that suggests magnesium oxide will not be absorbed by candida albicans (my intuition only - no facts here), yet the human gut absorbs it.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Hi. I'm new to the group. My mother is a BP although I didn't know what her condition was called until a few months ago when I did extensive reading on the net. She's not been officially diagnosed though. I'm not a doctor. I'm 45 and she is now 70. Over the last 10 years or so, her symptoms have really intensified. It's hard to take, and hard to try and stay on her good side. She holds an inheritance over my head and has already cut from her will 2 siblings for blown out of proportion reasons. I have to admit that if it weren't for the will, I wouldn't put up with someone behaving to me like she does. The older I get, the less I can put up with dramatics, both from her, and even from myself (learned response behaviour I think). I'm looking forward to reading what others have gone through and how they cope. I'm glad I found this group. Skunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Thanks for the welcome. My latest contact with my mother was when she called me a couple of days ago. She was weepy and said she was depressed and sorry that she had promised everyone that she wouldn't suicide again. Then she suddenly changed and said hey listen. She thinks she has an old bank account that she forgot about from years ago, and she wants me to find out on the internet. I told her that's not the kind of thing I could find on the internet, you would have to go to the bank and prove who you are. Then she started crying and said ok, if you don't want to bother... I said it's not a matter of bothering, that's not the kind of thing that would be publicly available on the net. She cried that she couldn't talk anymore and hung up on me. Argh. I'm going to call her back tonight and try to somehow smoothe things down, maybe distract her with some other topic to make her forget she was mad at me.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Thanks for the welcome. Does NC stand for no contact? I couldn't find it in the abbreviation list. It's anyone's guess if I'll be cut out of, or in, the will at the time she dies. She changes her will more often than her clothes! I've mentally prepared myself for being cut out because she is so volatile right now. Re: Hello Hey Skunky, Wow,...very similar. I've already been cut out and am NC with Nada. Welcome to the group!

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Thanks. I guess I'm LC. She lives on the west coast, and I'm in the Toronto area. The distance helps. Re: Hello Yes NC=No Contact, LC=Low contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Nice, I wish i had some geographic space from my BPD. I live 20 minutes away, so it is very easy for them to come barging into my house. After getting back from Italy on vacation, i seriously talked to my wife about moving there, but i even questioned if the Atlantic would prevent my mom from getting to me Re: Hello Yes NC=No Contact, LC=Low contact.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yeah,...sorry NC is no contact. I need to remember when those appreviations are second nature to me. My Nada changed her will years ago. I've been disinherited for as long as I can remember. Mercy > > Thanks for the welcome. Does NC stand for no contact?

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Welcome, Skunky. An awesome group of people here and lots of support. I've also been 'cut' from the will. I figure my integrity and happiness outweighs any money though. I just recently went to NC, again, after 'giving it another shot'. I hope we can help you in the many ways that I have received it from here! Take Care Of You, JaneSoul Hello Hi. I'm new to the group.
