Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Peggy, this is such a sweet thing for BOTH of you to do. I'm so touched by doing this for Kate. ) Love & Hugs, Challis Re: update Kate,I am sending you my husbands cell phone number. He said he will be glad to help in whatever way he can, even if it is to amuse the kids for an hour or two or to do some errands for you or drive you to wherever you need to go in the morning before he has to be to work. Right now he is working afternoons. He will be coming hom Wednesday and heading back down Sunday afternoon I think. He will be working days for 2 weeks after that so he will be available during the evening hours then.He can explain it better to you when you speak to him. I want you to promise me you will call him!!!! He is there, close to you, and willing to help!!! LET HIM HELP YOU!!!!! PLEASE!!! His number is ****. I have already told him I was going to give you his number so he will be expecting your call and I won't stop harrassing you until you call him and let him help you, lol. I am relentless, just like my son!!!You are no good to anyone if you can't function yourself. I know some days if you can just rest a little while, get a catnap, have the kids out of your hair and quiet for a bit it makes a huge difference!! Please let us help!!!Hugs,Peggy>> Try as I might, I could not get anyone to help me with the kids today. I > could not go to ER or be admitted.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I've been on the diet 8 weeks. The past three weeks have been the pits, mostly because I had the flu and an allergic reaction to an insect bite on my foot. I've had almost no exercise and I've been weak and depressed. In order to cope with the flu and the allergic reaction I used homeopathic remedies so I guess I've been "cheating" on the diet. However, homeopathics are my best resource. One thing which causes me problems is when I leave food in the refrigerator too long, because I seem very sensitive to bacteria. But I don't have enough freezer space and sometimes enough energy to deal with everything. If you know anyone with Asperger's, I think I need some encouragement. As far as I can tell, I have it, because I'm unable to speak/take in info/interact 95% of the time. This month I learned that those who reacted to vaccinations often were using antibiotics beforehand. I lived frequently on antibiotics for 25 years and then I was over-vaccinated with exotic vaccinations for many years--also anti-malarial pills. Lots of other diseases and pesticides, etc. I've also not had money and so I've lived in intolerable toxic housing situations the whole 35 years of severe illness (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities) It's very difficult because I don't have the help I need and desperately need to move, but I can't find housing. Right now I'm weak and just trying to get through each day. I never had much energy but my energy level is very low now. I'm dealing with a lot of stress and another emergency coming up with chemical sensitivities. There will be painting and carpet cleaning next door. I'll be ghastly ill whether I leave for a few days or hunker down. On a more positive note, I think my Central Nervous System may be healing a bit. When I'm not having insomnia, I am sleeping better and taking naps in the day. I am not able to push--something I've tried to do all my life. I put on 50 pounds during menopause and post- menopause. I've lost 25 pounds--14 since I started SCDiet. I read messages here when I can, but I'm no longer able to interact. thanks for all the info, Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
