Back when my kids were little (ie ten years ago), Jerabek was supposed to be a

very good school for mainstream kids. I don't know what it's like for sped kids.

If the teacher is motivated and starts out with a good brain to begin with LOL

(can you tell that I've been dealing with some teachers with less than a full

deck

this year???) Anyway, sounds like it could be a good situation. See if you can

observe both of them and see what you think.

Tamara --

I can't comment on PA and pregnancy because I didn't have trouble with PA until

I was well past that time but I wish you well with the pregnancy and hope you

can get on PA meds as soon as possible.

MTX cleared up the spots of inverse psoriasis that I had. One was so small that

it never came back but the big one came right back when I quit taking MTX. I do

not believe it was ever yeast and the only thing that helps is psoriasis meds

and keeping it dry.

I hope you never settle for bad care again. I feel finding a doctor is just

like shopping for shoes. If they don't fit don't buy them.

Cheri :-))

What made me post again was another post I

read about inverse? Psoriasis. (I could be spelling wrong) Anyway,

she mentioned having it under each breast, and being diagnosed as a

yeast infection. That same thing happened to me, I have it very

badly under both breasts, and my bad rhumy said it was yeast

infection, and gave me 3 rounds of meds for it. I told him it was P

before I left, and that he needed to go back to school. The only

time it goes away is with P treatment.

Wow, that was wordy! Sorry!

Take care all of you warriors,

Tamara

Hi Theresa, I'm so sorry your pain is so bad right now. You were very

descriptive about how it feels, perhaps if you printed it off and asked your

doctor to read it. Tell him (her?) you are serious about how much pain you are

in. If you can't do that, be sure to tell the rheumy when you see him. I'll

hope they can find something to bring some relief.

Poeterri, you expressed PA or whatever they decide I have so well. But I

suspect that you are a young 'un based on the wedding you are getting ready for.

I think drs. tend to think youth exaggerates. If you have your dr., rheumy,

etc. web address, send your descriptions of your pain, etc. If not, keep a copy

and be ready to stand up to them and keep telling them. Was it the rheumy that

prescribed Tylenol-3? Good luck, Sylvia

Did the Lexapro also make you not care? I need something for panic

attacks.

Lexapro made me less tense, and I wasn't as

nerve-racked as I usually am. For 5 months, at least.

Penny,

I am so very sorry to hear about your father. It's no wonder you are experiencing bad spasms now.

I hope you can find a surgeon in Toronto, if that is what your gut instincts are telling you to do. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Hi Penny ......

I am so sorry that you are going through so much right now ...... venting

is allowed here, even encouraged! It's good to get it off your chest and

we can all relate to a certain extent. Generally this is a caring

'community' brought together buy a one common denominator.

HI, PENNY,

I DON'T THINK ANYTHING YOU WROTE IS OFF TOPIC. ALL THAT STRESS WILL TAKE A

TOLL ON YOUR HEALTH FOR SURE, ESPECIALLY THE ACHALASIA. I'M GLAD YOU ARE

LOOKING BEYOND YOUR LOCAL AREA AND CONSIDERING TORONTO. SURELY YOU WILL

FIND THE RIGHT DOC FOR YOU SOON.

YOU MUST HAVE A WONDERFUL DAD. DESPITE HIS OWN SITUATION, HE IS CONCERNED

ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.

I HOPE YOU WILL SPEND EVERY MINUTE YOU CAN WITH HIM. MY DAD DIED VERY SOON

AFTER THEY GAVE HIM THE LIFE SENTENCE. (ALTHOUGH THEY HAD THE DIAGNOSIS

WRONG, THEY WERE RIGHT ABOUT IT BEING TERMINAL)

ENJOY HIM WHILE YOU CAN! AND ALL THE TLC YOU CAN GIVE HIM WILL BLESS YOU

BOTH!

BLESSINGS,

MARTHA

Penny,

I was about to write a message to you, but Martha just said everything I

wanted to say!

Enjoy as much time with your dad as you can. I lost my dad when I was 16

after he asked me for my permission to die. He was in a lot of pain, so

it wasn't a difficult decision for me to make, but I was young and

didn't have as much time with him as I wish I'd had. I do have wonderful

memories though, so I will pray that your surgery appointment comes up

really soon so you can have some time to make some really special

memories with your dad.

Hugs and Special Prayers coming your way...

Yep. I didn't realize until a few weeks after my THR how much the pre-op pain had affected my outlook on life. The grinding (literally) daily pain took a much greater toll than I was aware of. I didn't even put up a Christmas tree last year! This year it's already up, along with outside lights... .

Blessings,

Hi all,

I solved my problem. I left the group and came back. End of story. I have been reading the letters on the web page for a couple of days, and I noticed some of you talking about attitudes.

I remember how awful I was last year at this time. I refused to trim the tree, and all I did was sit and cry. I snarled at people and I slammed things. This was the pain talking. Life is lot more fun with three new joints. Does anyone agree with me?

Pam,, i am so happy to hear of your good news,, sorry about the Lost but

one

of major port of international flights.

as for dry and store,, i leave it plugged 24/7 and it does turn itself off

in 8 hours.

Keep us posted,, BTW,, I was thinking of you, and was really happy that the

Oh, Pam. What a Christmas present you just gave me! I am so thrilled for you.

Congratulations on the successful activation. It's nice to hear - isn't it?

Enjoy this very special time. These days immediately after the activation are

so filled with delight and new and exciting moments.

Your Dry and Store can stay plugged in the time. The actual drying should be 8

hours. Then it automatically turns itself off. If you get up in the morning

and find that a light is still on, it means it isn't finished - you didn't sleep

8 hours. ;-)

Have fun, Pam and when you can find the time, please be sure to share it all.

Thanks Lee for that info on the dry and store.

Actually I think it did rain 5 out of the 7 days we were there but at least it

didn't rain so hard we couldn't go anywhere (light drizzle most of the time) AND

we even had one sunny afternoon.

Based on your weather report we bought umbrellas and I bought a hat and we wore

our goretex jackets with the hoods.. and I used the hoods several times to

protect my head. Monday after activation, we went to PIKES market and it was a

downpour outside.

Pam,

Congrats on your activation. What a great Christmas gift.

When I was implanted 3 years ago, I was activated just after the

U.S. Thanksgiving holiday so Christmas was my first hearing holiday

in many years too, and what a Christmas it was.. hearing my

grandchildren is one of the reasons I got my implant. It's so much

fun to sit and share reading time with them,listen to their funny

little comments and to share their excitement about life in general.

I hope you really enjoy all the sights and sounds of what I'm sure

will be a season to remember.

Thanks for sharing with us and hope all continues to go well for you.

Hugs,

Silly MI

Hello! and so glad that your first mapping went so well. You're

doing very well and certainly have a positive attitude and sense of

adventure! Your first experience was similar to mine in that I was

understanding everything as long as the speaker was in front of me

and speaking clearly. I just wanted to congratulate you on your

first map and wish you the very best as you begin your journey to

hearing again.

Good Luck!

Gayle

P.S. Leave your Dry & Store plugged in as it will turn itself off after

8 hours. I also remove the processor cover. GC

Thanks !

So this time of year is an anniversary of sorts for you too! Congratulations!

You're right! It is all just a wonderful experience. I tried out some of the

accessories today and had fun doing that too.

I need to make an appointment for a mapping with the audiologist here in

Anchorage. I haven't even met her or had any interactions with her yet so that

should be interesting too.

Thanks Gayle!

I've been taking the processor cover off when I use the dry and store. The

instructions say " Leave the battery door open " so that was my interpretation of

those words.

Apparently if you have to take the CI out before the 8 hrs is up, it won't do

any harm to it and still will have refreshed the processor.

Welcome back, Deborah. So very sorry to hear about your father - pray that all

of your family is adjusting to the loss. Sorry to hear Madeleine was so ill but

glad things seem to be on the up. Prayers are with you and your family -

welcome back.

Hi all

I have just rejoined here after leaving last April. I hope that I may

ring a bell with a few " Old timers "

I left when my dad became ill. He unfortunately died but I just had

to post to thank those of you who contacted me . it was so very very

kind of you and meant a lot at a very difficult time. I am sorry I

didn't thank you all sooner - but then that is a whole other story!

My baby Madeleine ( who is two now !!) nearly died in hospital less

than a week after my dad - and the same dad we had to move house -

so that was an interesting time.

I have to say that I hope I can continue to learn and I hope

contribute. I am gratified that at last I am no longer one of the

bonkers minority that are questioning if the rise in language

difficulties and autism are at all related to vaccine or enviromental

assault. And diet dosen't seem such a ridiculous thing to look at

anymore.

Charlie is having sensory integration therapy and loves it ( actually

hard to get here in the UK ). We are looking at the latest in

chelation.

And Madeleine is herself quite intersting as she has tested with very

low IgA and is being investigated for coliac. My paediatrician was

very resistant when I asked for her to be tested as she has NO

symptoms . But her IgA result had him flumoxed and now he is very

intetrested.

Anyway - back and proving that I really never can do a brief

posting...

Thanks again for your thoughts and kind words.

Regards

Deborah.
