Guest guest Posted December 23, 2000 Report Share Posted December 23, 2000 , How the heck are you this morning? I've been up since 4am. Still have nothing done.LOL How are you feeling today? Hope you have a great weekend and a wonderful Christmas. I hope you can just sit back and relax today. I'm up to my eyeball in wrapping. I dread the long trip on Monday. 4 hours each way and we have to come back the same day. I think I need that Limo you had this summer.LOL Know I'm thinking of you and your family and best wishes for a joyous Christmas. Are you going somewhere or staying home?

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2000 Report Share Posted December 23, 2000 Good Morning and all, OK, so it's almost 6 PM now, who's counting. LOL I won't be on much for a while as most of us won't be I guess, so I'm taking this opportunity to wish each and everyone of you a wonderful Holiday season. May our new year be our best year and most healthiest too. Love you all so very much and thank you all for being such wonderful friends. W --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2000 Report Share Posted December 24, 2000 Oh Carmela it's so great to hear you're having a good spot! Let's see if we can extend it to the whole next year. Howlong has it been since you started back on the Flonase and stuff?

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2000 Report Share Posted December 26, 2000 Hi Carmela! I'd be surprised if the RP were the same every day. There's just too many variables -- where the inflammation is, did it spread to a funnyb little place, etc, etc. When you have other things (sore back, cold, etc) it's not the same is it. The Nsal cort or flonase will keep getting better. average time for it to START getting better is 1-2 weeks (altho some people are lucky and it seems to start the first two days).. But again, it's a long term med and it takes a long time for the full effect -- which is good for you because hopefully the nasal congestion and postnasal drip will get better and we can sort out how much of the problem that was. Are you doing the nasal salilne irrigations too? So, Iguess we're still getting better together. And here I thought you were so far ahead of me already! Love CArolyn Re: Good MOrning > Hi Carolyn > > My good days are on and off at the moment... had a really bad 2 nights .. > pressure on the throat was bad, and couldn't sleep lying down... sat up all > night on the couch with my feet up.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 Carmela, When I had my first ear flare, the outside of my ear swoll up and went back down a bit then swoll up again, for five weeks until it finally went away. I don't know why it did that but it did. I hope you are feeling well soon and that you had a happy holiday season. Take care and be well, Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 Hi ya Carolyn Yep, still taking the Nasacort faithfully every day. However, not doing the nose irrigation thingy everyday. Some days it's ok, some days it's worse, however, I find that gargling is helping more to clear stuff in the mornings, that's the worse time for me for PND We'll get better together Carolyn, we just have to. I'm anxious to hear all about your appt's and what the doctors say.... I'm sure you will be helped and in turn help all of us out too, armed with more info etc... Please keep us posted with any changes to your health. take care luv Carmela ***************** > >Reply-To: Rpolychondritis (AT) e >To: Rpolychondritis (AT) e> >Subject: Re: Good MOrning >Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2000 15:50:23 -1000 > >Hi Carmela! >I'd be surprised if the RP were the same every day.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2000 Report Share Posted December 29, 2000 Carmella, Feel better. I know there is nothing I can do except to send my prayers (which I do) and to wish you a speedy recovery, which I also do, Hang in there, LOL, Judy O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
