Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 i would think so. you should only use the flex points that you have in teh week you are in. don't use them from past weeks. that's adding too many calories to your week. the only thing i could suggest is do extra exercise and swap the points so that you don't go over. what this is doing is showing that you have to expend at least what you take in in order to maintain and more expend than in to lose. > Thanks for the welcome everyone. I was already getting discouraged > today because I had a migrane and my first instinct to fixing it was > too eat. I didn't go over my points, but it sorta bugs me that I > still have the mindset that food fixes everything. > I like the flex points, although I have tried not to use them so > far...they do help you be more organized...I have a question though > if I don't use my flex points, but then one week find that I need > them do you think by using them all of the sudden like that will > cause me to gain?

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Thanks . Doing better today, just feel really wrung out. Probably just need to drink lots of water! Would you believe I couldn't do that yesterday. That is not until I went to the store and bought some water. Our water company is putting in new water lines and one broke yesterday we were without water for over half the day. Imagine that! What timing.......phew! Our water service wasn't restored until after nine o'clock last night. Now, for the second time in two weeks, we have to boil our water before we use it. UGH!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi First of all you are leeping streets ahead, it may be really good news ~ I hope it is. I can only speak for myself because if there is anything one can learn it's that not only do we all respond differently to drugs, treatment, good and bad news but we often surprise ourselves reacting better than we ever thought we would. During bad times sometimes a new person evolves, someone who is a coper, strength comes from somewhere we hadn't previously expected and support comes from areas we wouldn't have believed possible. When I had my mastectomies I had very mixed emotions, grief for losing a part of womanhood, joy for getting diseased tissue removed, such sadness that I had lost shape and balance, hope in the teams that looked after me. Some women have mastectomy/ies and wouldn't dream of having reconstruction. I honour these ladies, I just don't know how they do it. I didn't have their courage but chose my own courage to have reconstruction. Far from easy because I had a burn down to the sternum from internal radiotherapy. I didn't have mastectomies at the time of the primary but two years later when I had learned of the family history and after seeking much advice about burns, familial breast cancer, prophylactic mastectomies and reconstruction. To go ahead and have the mastectomies and recon was right for me. (It was the burn that determined the reconstruction.) Unfortunately at one time the implant migrated south, breaking through the inframammary fold and pushing itself into a sausge shape, hanging down some 3-4 inches below the fold and had to be removed because it was painful. It was some week before I could have it replaced and went into a state of feeling very sorry for myself and feelings of gross mutilation. For a few weeks I became a recluse but I got over that. I had to focus on the end product and once the inframammary fold was repaired and a new implant replaced I felt 'woman' again. felt wonderful again. I am not saying for one minute that you will experience any of this, but the word 'rollercoaster' comes to mind. I went through all the emotions possible,including anger and anger about getting cancer in the first place to anger that I was so angry. I used to stomp around the place saying to myself, 'why am I so bloody angry?' In some ways one has to accept that there is a long path ahead, accept that we have some kind of disease, accept that surgery is often the answer to controlling the disease (and drug treatment too) But here we have a site where you get first hand experience, doctors telling you this, that and the other is totally different to you having this, that and the other. Don't forget reconstruction is not augmentation, you don't have to look like a 17 year old, cosmetic surgeons are different to reconstruction surgeons. Should you recieve bad news then listen to what you are advised, always write down what you are told because if you are anything like me you can get out the door and instantly forget, write lists of questions (or better still take someone with you who will write for you) but keep records, dates etc. You can always seek second opinions, never be afraid to ask or say no, ask for the latest technology (you may not get it) challenge your doctors if you are not happy with their answers but most of all keep your eye on the goal post, the end product, what you are working towards. Just to let you know I have excellent breasts now, though they have implants both sides, much better now than what would have been naturally, without being too '17 year old' They do suit my age, I feel gorgeous, look pretty damn good, feel decidedly female, but most of all I am here. I am hoping you have some simple allergy but should it be bad news you have a wealth of experience here, you have the internet to research, and whilst your husband's feelings are important this is about you, I guess you are taking on too much already, stand back a bit, take each step at a time, one hour at a time if that's what it needs. You may, repeat may, have a long journey ahead but do it with different roads, stop-off every now and again, sit back and take a rest. I will be thinking of you on Friday, I think you are very sensible to seek advice now but go with what you have not with what you anticipate. Please let us know ~ we want to hear. And lastly, 'No' your thoughts are not trivial. LOL Velvet (UK) wrote: Hi, I just wanted to say thank you to the two women who answered my post. I am still trying to figure out how this board works.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi Velvet, Thanks for responding. Wow, you have been through the ringer. I guess I am jumping too far ahead. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with a weird form of epilepsy. I had never heard of it and most everyone I talk to hasn't heard of it. Because this strange thing has happened to me I have become more paranoid. I guess knowing I am not invincible, like I felt up until then. Also, I have a brand new baby and 3 other kids. When my nipple starting turning dark I assumed that they were getting dark because of me being pregnant but only one was dark and only part of it. Then when I got this rash on the other side I thought it was strange. The fact that the dermatologist saw it,commented on it and then did nothing about it makes me angry. She never asked me a question just told me to come back in a couple of months and prescribed a cream for eczema. I decided to look up Pagets myself and saw that it is a rash that itches and sometimes bleeds. She never asked me those questions. It also said that Pagets is often mistaken for eczema, which I have never had, and therefore can be a late diagnosis. I was so surprised by her mentioning breast cancer that I didn't even think about my darkening nipple on the other side. My best friend was in the waiting room holding my son Kade and I told her what the doctor said. She started crying and told me her friend many years ago had this type of cancer and died. She said the same thing happened and they told her to wait two months. I guess this is why I am jumping to conclusions. I look at my kids and my new baby and think he may never get to know me. Whatever my results I have a new respect for women who have gone through this. I think you are awesome and I am impressed with your strength. Thanks for your words of encouragment. Thanks for taking the time to talk to me even though we aren't sure this is Pagets. I will let you know what they say on Friday. > Hi, I just wanted to say thank you to the two women who answered my > post. I am still trying to figure out how this board works.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Thanks nne, I told my husband my concerns and he told me that he would beg me to have my breast removed if it meant keeping me. Thank God he will be supportive. We have a daughter with Cerebral Palsy and feel like we have had so many trials in our 17 years of marriage but we have come through them. I am going to slow down and wait to see what happens. If it turns out to be true I am sure I will be here needing all of you guys. Already feel so welcome.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi Aurelia, I am so amazed at everyones strength here. I think maybe doctors need to understand a person can't wait two months even if there is a hint it could be cancer. I am amzed at her response to me. I am so glad you have a good husband. They are few and far between. > > Hi , > > Your present response is completely normal. I was totally shocked and confused at first, but at the same time I was anxious to get the evil out of my system. From the very beginning I wanted masectomy just to be on the safer side. I told myself what is a breast if it is going to take me away from my loved ones. Even my husband wanted me to have the masectomy. He had no second thoughts.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi Aurelia, I am so amazed at everyones strength here. I think maybe doctors need to understand a person can't wait two months even if there is a hint it could be cancer. I am amzed at her response to me. I am so glad you have a good husband. They are few and far between. > > Hi , > > Your present response is completely normal. I was totally shocked and confused at first, but at the same time I was anxious to get the evil out of my system. From the very beginning I wanted masectomy just to be on the safer side. I told myself what is a breast if it is going to take me away from my loved ones. Even my husband wanted me to have the masectomy. He had no second thoughts. The fear of losing me far outweigh the deformity. > > Anyway I had my fair share of fear, anxiety, tears and pain, but deep down I thank the good Lord for the excellent medical care available for me.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Thanks to all of you for your posts. Molly, your story is so encouraging. Chelle, thank you for your advice. I made an appt with a PT and am praying that it will help. It's not for 10 days. I have no idea what to do with myself between now and then. I am having a very rough time right now. It's really getting the best of me. I keep getting a bit better and then horrendously worse again. I am so grateful to hear stories of people improving.
