Re: Hello

Hi Vicki and everyone, I will try to answer your questions.

I am a type II diabetic diagnosed in about 1986. I have taken everything from

Diabeta to Glucophage and am now taking 70/30 insulin twice a day

I have cardiac problems and had a quadruple bypass three years ago. I do have

a problem with neuropathy in my feet so anyone who could give me advice on that

it would be much appreciated.

I am 49 years old and am really trying to keep all of my health (emotional and

physical) issues together.

Looking forward to hear from all of you

Ann

Good Morning to everyone! I have not posted in a while I do read all

the messages but seem to lurk more than write. This week has been

full of doctors and today is no better. I have my Rituxan treatment,

this is my second one they will be doing them every 3 weeks. I was

hoping when I went to see the pulmonary and Oncologist Thursday they

were going to start to taper my cellcept and imuran but no luck. They

are going to taper my steriods from 80 to 60 over a 3 week period (

Thank goodness).

They are telling me my lungs just keep progressing and with my heart

and kidneys not playing well with others is not helping. My renal

panel looked awful again, but the kidney doctor says that there is

not much we can do because the medication needs to be given for my

lungs and we will deal with the side affects from my kidneys as we

need to. Easy for him to say. I do try so hard to stay positve but

somedays I just want to drop down on the floor and kick and scream

and say this is not fair. But the funny thing is I would not be able

to breath after that and how in the world could I every get off of

the floor. So for now I will just take a deep breath HA HA and go

today and do my treatment and pray that all goes well. Thanks for

letting me vent.

Jackie... I pray all goes well too. We all know that feeling of wanting to scream and kick.
