Guest guest Posted December 16, 1999 Report Share Posted December 16, 1999 Hi, Everyone, I just want to thank everyone who has written to me on-list and off-list with info and support about Lyme. I'm still so surprised. I talked to my PCP this morning and he said, " This is a real learning experience for me! " I've decided to start the tetracycline right away and not wait until after the holidays, even if I do herx over Christmas. Will keep you posted. Thank you for the welcome. For those who wrote me privately, will try to respond soon. Sincerely, Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 1999 Report Share Posted December 17, 1999 In a message dated 99-12-16 10:41:56 EST, you write: << <<Have others with Lyme experienced CFS symptoms? I'm just so astonished at this news. To be honest, although I have a debilitating illness, I assumed I'd have arthritis and neck pain if I had Lyme. >> >> Dear Marie, Chronic fatigue is so common with many lymies. There are days when my daughter sleeps 16-20 hrs - just can't get going - although, on a more positive note, these days are dwindling. It's been a couple of weeks since she's felt this poorly. I feared the rheumatoid problems for her too, but LLMDs nurse said it seems that lyme attacks whichever systems in one's body are the weakest or most prone to invasion. With my daughter, it was her nervous system - not a surprise, as there were never enough hours in a day to do all the fun things she was involved in (sports, band, choir, etc.). Just goes to prove (in my humble opinion) that stress IS really bad for all of us - healthy or fighting illness. I wonder sometimes if her schedule had not been so stressfully hectic, whether she would have been able to actually fight off this darned disease on her own. (LLMD said she is sooooo healthy - with the exception of this. Feel VERY blessed on that count!) Hope this helps, Blessings & velcros, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Hi Marie, I just saw your post to Traci and read that your son was born in May of 2000. My son, , was born May 17 2000. has a lot of words, around 200-250, but only a few that are understandable to others. He only puts 2 words together on occasion. How is your son doing? Was he full term or was he premature? was 12 weeks premature so we didn't get the apraxia diagnosis until much later since everyone assumed that he speech was delayed because of the prematurity. I look forward to hearing from you. Kelli > Traci , > Thanks so much for you story ! My little guy was born May , 2000 .

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Hi Kelli : Dylan was born May 1st . He has about 10 words , but only approximations . He says MOM ..om , Out.. ou. And he still needs to be prompted to say them most of the time. He is the KING of gestures & PECS ..LOL. Yes ,he was premature and a Twin . He was 3#11oz and 8 weeks early . His twin took from him the last 12 weeks of PG,so he is basically 12 weeks early as he stopped growing about then and just tried to survive. He is the sunshine of my world .. even with all of his struggles and my stress . You can e-mail me if you want to talk more . marie4k@...

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 , Thanks for the update, at least this gives us some closure. Prayers and " candle thoughts " will continue to be going her way. Sometimes depression is a lonely place to be. I will pray that the professionals will help her get out of this dark tunnel.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 , How in the world did you make contact with Marie? Do you know her? Or just find her number? While I appreciate the fact that you are obviously protecting her confidentiality, it would be great if you could at least ask her if I could know her # or address OR if she wants mine-as I am the one she emailed in the first place. (accident or not, her emailing me set into motion my taking the lead and w/the help and encouragement of the group, trying to find her -going so far as to get the police to go to the address we thought was hers). And while I also appreciate the fact that she is trying to get " professional " help, that can sometimes take a long time. If, in the meanwhile, one of us could know where to mail (actual postal mail) her, then we could all send THAT person cards and letters, etc. to forward on to since she has no internet access right now. I know the people of this group can have amazing meaningful healing impact on her if they just had access to her somehow. I think it would be very comforting to her as well if you (or someone) could copy and print off all these posts re " ANNA " so she could see first hand all the love and outpouring of concern for her,. Would you consider doing this? I THANK GOD SHE IS ALRIGHT! (Well, alive anyway -and since she's alive- ther's still hope) Love, > I've spoken to Marie.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Dear Marie, My heart goes out to you. And my prayers are with you. Because I'm new here, I don't know all the details of your situation; but I can certainly recognize the grief and serious depression in your words. How I wish you didn't have to endure this pain. I've also experienced profound grief and depression, and I understand. If it's only been 4 months since your daughter separated from you, the wounds are very very fresh. It's natural that this would be a time of deep grief for you. Knowing that it's natural, unfortunately, doesn't ease the pain. And I think those of us with RA are more susceptible to depression. Is there any way you can see a counselor or a therapist who might help you work with this? Although therapists and counselors can't take away the pain--wouldn't it be great if they could!--they can be a tremendous help in learning to find ways to cope.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi marie I am so so sorry to hear of the heartache you are going through . Reading your e-mail brought tears to my eyes.... My prayers and thoughts are with you. I dont know what I would do without my daughters Hope you find happiness soon Love Joyce xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx a <a54@...> wrote: I'm really sorry you are hurting so bad. Kids can really rip our hearts out. Maybe because she knows what you deal with, she distances herself because it hurts to see you suffer. Maybe she has fears that she will inherit this disease and suffer the way you do. Some people just can't cope with those they love being sick. It is hard to watch a parent suffer just as it's hard for a parent to watch a child suffer. My comfort during times like this is the Serenity Prayer. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. What else can you do? Being depressed hurts YOU. Grief is consuming you. I pray that God gives you strength to live your life again and find joy. Life is what we make it. If we dwell on the sad things in life it blinds us to the joys. God bless you Marie. I'm praying you can find happiness. a On Oct 16, 2005, at 8:21 AM, snowespi wrote: > Good Sunday to All! And a hearty welcome to all the Newbies!

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Marie, What you are going through isn't easy. The emotions you described and the " motions " of your daily life sound no different than if you lost a loved one to death. Her leaving you has left an open void in your heart and you know that. Just because she has a degree in immunology doesn't mean she knows what you are going through. I have worked with many doctors who don't truly know what it is like to have the ailments they claim to treat. It's like saying that a male OB/Gyn doctor understands what we feel every month or in childbirth. They understand it from a scientific standpoint, but they don't " get it " . I know you have probably heard this before, but just give it time and try not to dwell. I know it's easier said than done, but YOU must go on with your life. Try to find something that brings joy to your life and focus on that. You are right about this group, as well. I live alone (with my 2 cats) and had no one to turn to. This group has been a lifesavor for me. To be able to vent and to do so with people who DO get it, makes all the difference. You can speak without judgement or belittlement. Everyone in here has their own issues and problems in their lives, but for one moment they are willing to put them asside to listen to you and show their support for you. I don't pretend to know what you are going through right now nor do I pretend to know what is going through your daughters mind and heart. When she is ready and you both have gone through your emotional pain, then perhaps that will be when the two of you talk. My family didn't get it, either. Even my sister, who is a nurse like me, didn't truly get it. Only until recently with these physical upcropping of problems I am going through right now did they finally " see " that there really is something going on. It's not easy for family. There is a lot of denial from them, especially if they can't " see " the problem. You have a lot on your plate right now, Marie. Look above the problems and see the sunshine, the bright spot. There is one there, just open your heart and you will see it. I will keep you in my prayers....Marina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Good -day to you ALL! I want to say " THANK YOU " to ALL of you for your kindness,caring and support. I say " ALL " because I know that all of you care even if you don't write as I care about each one of you. I feel for each and everyone who posts in this group and I wish I knew what to write to help. I'll just say that I do pray in my own way. While in bed,this morning, upon awaking, I cried and I prayed alot....again. I prayed for everyone who lives with horrible diseases and all who live with pain. I prayed for ALL in our group and I prayed for our world which is in such a mess. I prayed for my daughter who was due on Oct. 7th. I hope she is ok. I don't even know if she has had the baby. I know it is her husband who is a control freak. I blame him. I know my daughter is also to blame as she did not have to listen to him. I don't know why this is happening. I just wish it would end. I finally moved here, as my daughter begged me to, so she could help me. Things were good until after she married. Then within two weeks all went to " pot " and like I said no phone calls ,no nothing. I am feeling some hope today. I cried and now I'm thinking I need to move away from here. The sooner the better. MY daughter has two large checks of mine. Both gone, I guess as I have e-mailed her and asked her to please give me my money so I could move. She does not reply. I will never understand how one could be so cruel. It truly is a nightmare. I am in such a horrible bind in more ways than one. I can't see a way out. I'm trying. I am going to try somehow. I guess I have to start by selling my belongings and then I think I will move to New York. I have to leave here asap. I know I can't continue as I have been. Months in bed! This is so bad. Thank you ALL for your replies and support and thank you to all in the group also for caring. God help us all. with love, In Jesus's precious's love,Marie > > My dear girl, I am just catching up on my mail and just feel I have to write you to say how sorry I am for what you are going through with your daughter. I could feel the pain in your words. You are a kind and loving person and you don't deserve this kind of treatment but the biggest loser here will be your daughter and I truly believe she will see the light very soon and be in touch. In the meantime, be brave and keep reminding yourself that you are a special person and don't allow one person to destroy what you are.

Life can be such a b***** but there is always light at the end of the tunnel. My heart goes out to you. I dont know what it is like to have a daughter treat me that way. I know it must be hard but please try and get some help. You need it.. Yes you are right emotional pain can sometimes be worse than physical pain..I lost three of my dear sisters in a short time of one another . They were not very old and I know how I felt then .

I am minutes away from cutting, rather I should say chopping off my long beautiful hair, I feel so lost. I can't believe she would do this to me. I swear it is torture.

She wanted this for years and I finally say yes and move here just to have my heart ripped out by her. It has to do with her husband but she didn't have to shut me out of her life. I am in a bad bad way. How does one cope with such heavy burdens on top of these serious health problems one has to try to cope with? I don't know how much more I can take.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hi Marie I am so so pleased you are starting to think a bit more positive. I know its not going to be easy for you. I know you can do it though. There will be days when you will feel you just cant go on and days when you want to go on. Just remember everyone is rooting for you and sending some good vibes through.. Thinking of you Love Joyce xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx snowespi <snowespi@...> wrote: From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your replies and words of wisdom. For sharing with me from your hearts. I have taken action and I am doing what what suggested. I am going to forget about my daughter for now which I have to do and take care of myself. She was due with her first child on Oct. 7th. I think she had her baby but there is no way I can find out. I tried calling the hospital and had no luck. I am " letting go & letting God " when it comes to my one and only Anita. For now anyway. Thank you Kathe! Also Joyce, I am sorry for the very hard grief you went through. Lord have mercy! Time is a great healer, you wrote. I believe you. I couldn't see that but after reading your post, I believe it with all my heart. I will get through this very difficult time in my life. Living alone and not knowing anyone in this area is hard. In Alaska, I at least had a personal care attendent everyday. Better Dr. care also. I am going to heed your suggestions and I thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. I have began to write and I made a call and I am going to take action and think positive and find a 12 step support group to attend in the area so I won't be isolating. I used to go to al-anon over 20 years ago. Plus do aquatic exercises to help with my knee pain and all. I a going to get through this. It will not be easy but I can do it with God's help. Thank you for sharing your beliefs about God. It really helped me. I would like to ask if anyone has been rejected by a loved one and especially if you are back in touch. If the relationship was healed and how long it took. Maybe I shouldn't ask. IF you do want to please send it directly to my address if you want. God bless you all so very very much! I'm so happy I didn't chop my hair. I'd really feel terrible had I done that. HEIDI & JULIEN I am so happy for you. You are truly blest and I pray to God you are one of the lucky ones that will remain in remission for the rest of your life and my prayer is that a cure will be found for the rest of us. Kids are truly a gift from above. I loved having my son and grandsons here but they had to go back with mom and I miss them terribly. I am going to believe that God has something wonderful planned for me and just have faith and keep doing my best each day to ask him for wisdom and for guidance. Wisdom and strength for each and everyone of you, also. Goodnight. With much love, always, Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Doctors View Your surgeon wants to remove your implants the quickest and easiest way, to save himself time and money. Doctors View - Time is Money and Money is Time I had my implants removed by my original surgeon I remained sick until I found this group I went to a recomended surgeon on the list. My surgery took 6 hrs to remove the capsules. Capsules retain bacteria An experienced surgeon will work hours to remove all the garbage out of you . Proper Removal = En Bloc with Drains Hi,I got my first consult with a surgeon today. I told him about my symptoms (numbness in the hands, electric sensations), but he said that it could not be related to my implants. He suggested me to go see a doctor in neurology. I told him that I was thinking of getting my implants out if nothing was back to normal after a while and asked if he's peforming the "en bloc" procedure. He told me that I didn't need "en bloc" because I don't have a hard capsule around my implants. He told me that the cicatricial capsule will resolve in my body and that nothing is dangerous about that. The procedure he suggested is a local anesthesia and that he would only do a cut under my breasts to get my implants out. I am kind of confused now. I thought the "en bloc" procedure was the best thing to do no matter what. It seemd that this doctor only uses this procedure in rare occasions. I would like to have your opinion about this.Thanks,Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
