Guest guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi Leonie, Nice letter!---But with A/P, I do not have as many complaints as you have. All I can say is give it a try and do it for at least a year or more. If that doesn't work, then try something else. but jumping from therapy to therapy so quickly is getting you nowhere. I consider myself a success, not a zealot and I am anti-religion for the same reasons you are. But, when I take a medication and see results, I'd be stupid not to go on. Micoplasmas are slow growing and slow dying and patience is a virtue. It's true, that A/P doesn't work on everybody and you may not even have micoplasmas. You may have a totally different disease than I. But I was faced with early death, meanwhile a painful and crippling existence. so, when I crawled out from under that rock, took a plane to see an expert MD, and was given antibiotics, I felt as though someone had thrown me a life line. Mental images of being healed helped also. I was so convinced that I would heal, that I am actually healing. So, mind over matter helps too. I think attitude even counts more than medicine. Try it. I don't mean to put you or anyone else down. We suffer too much to waste our time on that. I am a New Yorker and we are blunt. No harm meant. In fact, we are loving people. But, you would never know it by our lingo. Wishiong you would find your way and be healed. With much caring, Dolores & Mike From: mumpup2000 <leoniecent@...> Subject: rheumatic Dolores rheumatic Date: Wednesday, August 27, 2008, 8:55 AM ....a bit of a jolt never hurt anyone Dolores, and we often need one to shift out of our stupor. if the jolt of someone telling you that you were living under a rock helped you, that's great. maybe that's the way you've got to tell people things go get them to listen... almost by insulting them ! no one listens to anything i tell them, so maybe i'm doing it the wrong way haha people don't listen or change easily. being nice and gentle doesn't always work - i understand the culture of tough love, although i haven't experienced a lot of it. it's a good way to be when everyone knows what the deal is with it. i know all you guys are 100% AP focussed and that's ok with me - i don't ask questions about it to make trouble - i want it to be the " be-all and end-all " believe me. i'm just a seeker of the truth. i grew up jehovah's witness, and we thought we were the " only true religion " and had the " truth " . we were the only ones going to survive armageddon. that was my 100% reality and belief from the moment i was born. after a lot of soul-searching i left the religion and accepted that i would die at armageddon too with all the evil people. well i found out somwewhere along the line that it wasn't the truth but just a bunch of fooey ! now i keep my mind open (try to) and don't get fanatical about anything, and question everything. i don't care if it's right or wrong or works for some other person. WHAT WORKS FOR ONE, DOESN'T WORK FOR ANOTHER... if there's any truth, that is it! i love and respect passionate people who believe in something strongly and walk their talk, but when their beliefs become dogmatic, that worries me. zealots worry me. passionate people are leaders and the people who are attracted to their message will follow them no matter what. their are millions of different leaders and paths, all leading to the same place. that's just my take on things, but i might be wrong take care dolores, Leonie > > From: leonie cent <leoniecent@ bigpond. com> > Subject: rheumatic Cooky > rheumatic@grou ps.com > Date: Tuesday, August 26, 2008, 5:54 PM > > Yeah well Cooky, I'm going thru a very tough time right now, and asking questions to try and figure things out. If i wasn't interested in AP, i wouldn't bother to try and discuss things and get to the bottom of it. I have bad brain fog and can't read everything and take in information. I have an anxiety disorder which means i can't concentrate on anything or understand stuff and get my act together. I never noticed you or anyone offering to coach me a bit, even tho some on this list do give me a lot of help and information re AP and detoxing etc. And you shouting at me with your capitals letters and terse language just tells me you are a radical nut with no heart! You are mean. Goodbye! I'm going on methotrexate. > > ~Leonie > leoniecentbigpond (DOT) com > > 02 62556202 > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi . What is the difference in their performance on the body. How do they work and if they are similar why do they both not fall under the same category. Just curious, Dolores From: O' Conchubair <RNMSW@...> Subject: rheumatic Dolores " Rheumatic " <Rheumatic > Date: Sunday, February 14, 2010, 8:05 PM  http://quizlet. com/1065336/ pharmacology- ch-9-tetracyclin es-macrolides- licosamides- flash-cards/ Clindamycin (Cleocin) is a licosamide and works similarly to the Macrolides.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Thank you so much, Gail. Knowing you are all out there for me and for each other is such a comfort. You bet, I will be back to my old self in the matter of a few months. Meantime, I'll just sleep away when I am tired. It is good that I am old enough to be retired and don't have anymore responsibilities. I also am lucky to have such a great husband. You take care of yourself. Tears are good!  They are cathartic and that is a big relief. I wish I could cry sometimes.  I don't remember crying in years. Maybe I should watch a very sad movie. I must have gotten jaded in my old age. I will need a tear jerker to get me crying. Even when my mom passed, I didn't cry. I just took it as being the normal order of things. I felt sad, but not to the crying stage. Hmmm! I'll have to check that out.  I am the happy jolly sort of person who sees humor in everything and feel that problems are a way of learning how to solve and cope. I rarely fret and stay on the positive side. That is why, I probably just realized that the reason I went out of remission is because of all the events that came about since Sept. I wasn't aware when I was in trouble, but realized after the crisis was over that it was the reason for my relapse. and the fact that I ran out of Minocin.  And this too, shall pass! Take care, Dolores  From: ONYX8257@... <ONYX8257@...> Subject: Re: rheumatic Dolores rheumatic Date: Friday, March 11, 2011, 9:08 PM  Dolores, You are the main person, though there are a couple others that have kept me going many a day. Your detailed posts, and your success with remission have been so inspiring to me that I know I've told you this, but I cry most of the time when I read them, but they are good tears, as they give me the hope to follow in your footsteps, and attain remission myself, which I am still hoping to do in the not too distant future. We are all here for you, as you have been for us along this journey that we take every day. My thoughts are with you, and I, too, KNOW you are going to be back in the saddle again soon. Good thoughts, and prayers heading your way!!! Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
