Dear ,

I realize that you are advertising the home buisness to help others

out. But I must tell you that this site does not condone

advertisement of anything that is not tech related and is not in the

best interest of techs. If you wish to contact any indiviuals with

this information and advetise it that way that would be your choice

and your decision. However on my site my decision not to thave such

advertisement has been well documented and well known.

I appreciate your pharmacy input. You are most welcome on this site.

However I would appreciate it if you would kindly remove such future

advertisements from your signature or posts. I do not wish this site

to become a place for discussion of 'other avenues' for source of

income. That would better be served on another " channel " (site).

Please accept this email in the spirit in which it was written: a

simple request to preserve this sites dedication to pharmacy related

material and especially pharmacy certification STUDY and with love

and peace.

I could have written to you privately, but I wanted to let others

know that I will not continue to allow any further advertisements

that are not pharmacy tech related. and those that are; are given a

one time shot once or twice a year and that is it.

Being a new member I am sure that you were not completely aware of

this. I am amending the welcome letter to add this information to it.

Please accept my welcome to this group and to continue with your most

important input and study.

Thank you for your adherance to this request in the future,

With great respect,

In Kindness only,

I do apologize,

I reponded from my email and not a direct posting. I was not trying

to advertise my home business. It is just part of my signature line

that goes out on all of my emails. I will keep that from happening

again. I will post directly to the site and not through email

Dearest ,

I do so very much appreciate your kindness in your reply.

No appology is necessary as I feel as a new member you were no

informed properly(by me). Therefore you have given me the idea that

it would be best if I sent a notice to all members of the things that

are not acceptable on this site. I need to communicate more

effectively. I will also change the Welcome letter.

Your kindness and willingness to observe does not go unnoticed and

is both greatly admired and appreciated by me.

Most Respectfully,

Dear ,

I say Go For It! Do not wait ! I waited and I never did it! so do it

as soon as you have a support mechanism to do so.

I encourage you to do this.

I was wondering what you mean by ['positions certified " ? Have you

taken and passed the PTCB exam? or does this mean that CVS has an in-

house certification ?

Thanks for sharing,

Respectully,

Hello & husband,

welcome to our little group.

I think you are going through all the same emotions, most of us experienced.

Somebody else can probably give a more detailed dietary recommendation. As

for myself, moderation and a healthy diet was just fine. Appearently, they

minimize red meat, in order to reduce Iron intake. I felt my current diet

was just fine except I had to cut out my Cokes and coffee and load up on

water.

Aspirin is out. Tylenol in moderation. As long as you keep your doc apprised

of your progress, I don't think the Prozac will hurt. Physician preference.

Most everybody I talk to is getting a antideprresant of some sort to help.

Tylenol in moderation is o.k., it doesn't touch mine, so I am getting a

narcotic to go with my tylenol (i.e.Tyleno # 3, or Vicodin).

I am not familiar with the anti-asthmatic meds, but your " be in charge "

nurse from Shering Corp. will be able to help.

Good luck with your treatment, both of you. It won't be as bad as you first

think it is going to be.

I have completed my 5th month of interferon and haven't missed a day's work.

Good luck

Hello,

I have been looking for a support group around here (Olympia, Wa) but

so far no luck. Perhaps I'll start my own? It's nice to know I'm not

alone. Bummer you all have to deal with this though. I've been

dealing with candida symptoms since my teen years, but they got much

worse with pregnancy and childbirth. The last few years have been the

most persistent. I have a hard time sticking with the candida diet (I

follow a diet based on a mix of the literature that is out these days

on candida) My symptoms when they flare up are pretty much the common

candida symptoms but also include " funky " tonsils (more on that

another day- it's pretty gross);lymph node swelling/pain in groin

area; unbelievably stinky armpits, yes thats me you smell and

persistent cravings for sugar. I am looking for feedback in dealing

with these specific symptoms, from those unfortunate enough to have

these symptoms. I tend to take a humorous approach to this situation

as I have taken it too seriously in the past and have felt at times

like it is ruining my life. Too few people speak frankly about what

it is like to live with this condition, and being a woman it is even

more embarassing. So I may offer myself up as comic relief for those

of you who need it. By the way I'm not so great with computers and

have signed up accidentally under my husbands name. (It's his

computer that I'm taking over, and since he is a writer this is a

VERY big deal. He may hide my boric acid to get back at me!) I will

try to change the sign-in name to my own in the next few days.

[Guest guest]

Believe me, I know EXACTLY what you mean when you're talking about " funky "

tonsils.

The thing that keeps me going is knowing that I have the power to overcome these

things _ candida/yeast/worms who've taken up house in my gut and god only knows

where else. They don't have permission to be here forever. Days when I feel

overwhelmed I feel suddenly better when I think of the power of the human

body/spirit to heal itself.

Dear Carole,

Bravo for all of that weight loss! You are an amazing person, whose mental strengths will be very useful in having the TKR surgery. Your determination and perseverance wil be needed and you will be up to the challenge, I am sure.

I had bilateral TKR last summer, in early June. I was bone-on-bone in both knees and had had surgeries done on both before this. They didn't help at all, because I had no cartilage left at all and when that happens, no shot or alternative surgery will supply the needed cushioning for the bones. I had severe osteoarthritis in both knees. My quality of life was less every day and I could not stand or walk for more than about 10 minutes, by the end. I felt very old, all the time, and very dependent on the chairs in each location I went to.

The surgery is very successful, with about 90-some percent success rate, because it is done so much nowadays. But be certain that your orthopedic surgeon has had lots of experience with this operation. Ask how many of these he/she performs per year and per week. It should be a lot! Sometimes when both knees are done, two doctors do it, one on each. In my case, one doctor did both. The surgery itself took about 2 hours. I had a spinal to numb me from the waist downward and also some "twilight juice" because I did not want to hear the hammering and the sawing. I woke up soon after they finished with no memory of any noises, etc.

I felt great until the spinal wore off. With that anesthetic, you regain consciousness long before you can move your legs or feel any sensation, but I knew this beforehand, so I wasn't scared of paralysis or anything like that. They give you IV and oral pain meds after the spinal wears off. I was in the hospital for 4 days before returning home on a walker. In there, I got physical therapy about twice a day beginning after the second day. Nurses helped me to walk to the bathroom and to take a shower daily. I also had a CPM in the hospital, which is a machine that moves your legs back and forth, bending and extending them constantly. I used it as much as possible because I had been told that it was important to keep the flexibility.

I went home and stayed on our downstairs couch for several weeks so that I didn't have to do the 14 stairs up to the second floor every day. I could get to the bathroom easily and the kitchen as well. For about 3 weeks, it was rough. I had in-house physical therapy for 2 weeks and then out-patient therapy afterward, about 3 times per week. You need a very good therapist! That is the hard work that you do after the surgeon is done and you need someone who is experienced with the operation and who will be able to answer your million questions

it was a very rough 3 weeks. I had little energy and some depression as well. It is depressing to be so non-functional and sometimes the pain killers also create depression. I had no extra energy at the end of the day. It took everything I had just to get myself to the bathroom and the table at mealtimes. I could not stand for very long. I could not sleep very well at night and was up about every hour or 2. After those 3 weeks, it gradually got better and by about 8 weeks post-op, I could sleep through the night. I went to a cane at about 3 weeks and used the walker only at nighttime when going to the bathroom.

If you want to email me directly, please feel free to do so. I am shchicago@...

My winning combination of advice is: have a very good surgeon, have a very good physical therapist, and have a positive attitude. You can do this! I told myself every day that I was not always going to feel like this, that it would change oneday. I told myself that others had been through it and that I, too, would get through it. I soaked up every bit of encouragement I got from friends and family. I ignored the negatives, like my teenagers' behavior and like postings on the Internet about negative results. I tried to keep myself as positive and upbeat as possible.

Hope this wil help you and others. This is a great gift, this surgery and therapy! Now I am at 9 months post, op, walking my dogs for an hour per day, doing 10,000 steps per day and going to the health club whenever I am not working, where I can exercise for about an hour on the Elliptical machine and the stationary bike and the treadmill. It is a wonder! Every morning I stand up and feel like Rocky at the top of those stairs. I tell myself that I am the Queen of the Universe! And I feel as if I were! It is a great rush of adrenaline every single day, to know that I will walk where I want too for the whole day! It is a long journey but well worth the effort! Hang in there, my friend! You have survived worse battles than this one! Hugs to you, S

--- Hi My name is and I am in Northern NJ too. My son

like yours is hyperlexic (early reader) My son started to read at 3.

There are several groups here on for NJ parents and hyperlexic

parents. One thing that I would tell you please dont get a 504

please get your son classified as autistic (with the school) he

qualifies with the Aspergers dx. You will get more services and you

will need it with your son. I say this because he will need Speech,

OT and maybe pt but having an IEP and if your son is doing work

above grade level which he is doing already they have to give him

work on his level as long as the IEP says it. There is no IEP with a

504. Just wondering where in North NJ are you I am in essex county

[Guest guest]

,

Welcome! The superintendent was feeding you a line when he told you that

bright kids don't need special ed! Lots of our AS kids are very bright and

lots of them get special ed! My son is in a special program for bright kids

with learning disabilities here in San Diego. It's been the saving of him!

Others have found success through mainstream programs with personal aides,

or modifications in the regular program. Don't let them hoodwink you into

thinking that just because your child is bright he doesn't need an IEP.

Again, welcome. We're glad you're here.

Liz,

When was evaluated by the school it was a year ago for transition from

Early Intervention to special needs preschool. was delayed in his motor

and social skills. They felt that we should put him in a private preschool.

The OT even told me that the reason he had fine motor delays was because he

wasn't in school and didn't get exposure to fine motor activities. Funny huh?

They said he was delayed socially because he wasn't ever exposed to other

children. Of course we had him in every group we could. I spoke with an

education attorney and a child advocate who said that they can't be forced to

deal with him until school age because he is very bright. I looked back on

some old reports and both the teacher and social worker who evaluated him

called him a little adult at 2.10 months. This was also blamed on us. The

developmental pediatrician he sees is writing to the school board on 's

behalf. He feels it is vital he starts in special ed now.

[Guest guest]

Seems to me that you need a different advocate! I heard the same thing from our

school district when I lived in a suburb of San Diego. " He doesn't fall in the

bottom 5% of the class. There's nothing we can do for him. " Can you believe

that? And I bought it!! I doubly can't believe that!! So we sent him to a

private school for kids with ADHD, which is what he was diagnosed with at the

time. Can you say " mega disaster " ??? We finally moved into San Diego, and found

the program he's in now, thanks to a wonderful attorney/advocate. So I guess I'm

recommending to you that you do a little advocate shopping. See if you can find

one who has some gumption. His fine motor delays and his pragmatics delays alone

show need enough for special needs preschool funded by the district. Arrrggghhh.

Welcome to the board and welcome to the wonderful world of children

with hidden disabilities. You are fortunate to have 's diagnosis

early so that you can insist on getting him the services he is

legally entitled to.

You can also ignore all the ignorant blame comments you have received

or may receive in the future. Many of us suffered under that blame

for years before we got our kid's diagnoses.

sounds like quite a little charmer, as so many of our aspie

children are.

on a personal note, coincidentally, my best friend from college was

named Stack (before she married - her last name is now Nardone)

and she has a brother named . They wouldn't happen to be

related would they?

Smart kids do have special needs. It also sounds like might have

hyperlexia --> <A HREF= " http://www.hyperlexia.org/ " >American Hyperlexia

Association</A>

What you want to do is formally request an evaluation from your school in

writing. You can bring your own eval's to the table and they might accept

those or prefer to do their own. Either is fine. The motor delays and need

for ST alone should get him services in the pre-k program.

It's one of those, " the good news is that he's bright...the bad news is he's

bright " situations. My 6 yo is gifted and has HFA and hyperlexia. While he

did qualify for pre-k, I did have trouble getting people to take his needs

seriously because he was reading so well and had very good echolalic phrases.

Now he is in first grade and they take it all seriously now.

An advocate told you that? Wow, bad advice, IMO. I love the theory that

they are delayed socially because they are not exposed to other kids - as if

that is the only way a child learns to socialize. lol. Ack! Get a better

advocate or sped attorney.

Run...don't walk....to your nearest library or bookstore and get yourself a

copy of " The Roadback " or " The Arthritis Breakthrough " by henry scammell.

Read it from cover to cover (or both of them even better). Then decide if

this might be for you. I waited eight years as my docs said it would not

work. By the time I was ready for a wheelchair I found a doctor who was

having great success with this treatment. If my other doctors had given this

to me years ago, I would not have suffered all the damage I did on their

" regular " drugs. Have been in remission for 18 months and finally have my

life back.

Wishing you well................Martha

He has some communication problems that are just surfacing. We always thought

of it as a short term memory problem. He can tell you stories about things

that happened a long time ago but can't tell you what he did in school. There

is also articulation delays and oral motor dysfunction from the hypotonia.

Hi:

I have had candida for about 3 decades. I've been through removing mercury

from my teeth, colonics , supplements etc. I think if you are strapped for cash

the cheapest thing to do is become a vegan. NO dairy, no meat, no sugar. I'm

sure you know what vegan means. Iknow that if I eat vegan, mostly raw by the

way, I feel almost 100 percent 100 percent of the time. When I let coffee and

sugar creep into my diet i relapse. Believe it or not, there is life without

sugar

although our society doesn't want you to think so.

Good luck.
