Guest guest Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 This is just an idea, but what about asking your dentist about a mouth guard for sleeping. The cramping might be the result of the teeth clenching. I have never been able to chew gum without having pain in my jaw (even as a kid). I have had problems eating some foods as well. My cramping seems to hit an area and stay for a few months as I adapt my activities a bit and then more to a new spot. My thinking behind this is that when one muscle is stronger than the opposing muscle, the strong one cramps. Once the weakness (or strengthening in some people) are in balance then the cramping decreases.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 , I agree totally with Barbara. The addition of meds of any kind have been discussed in the past, but not for some time. When ever Laurie and I add a new supplement, we take it very slowly. For example, if Dr. S said to take 600 Mg of Q-Gel a day, we would start with one pill a day for at least 4 - 7 days and then increase to two pills a day for another 4 - 7 days, etc. If that is handled with minimal difficulty, we might stay at the prescribed dose for a couple of weeks before adding the next new supplement and add it in the same slow manner and keep a daily log. It may be a hassle to keep the log, but it is the best way to know what may be causing the problems. It may be difficult emotionally to face your mother regarding the adaptive equipment, but it may become necessary to tell her in a loving way that it may be hard for her to see, but it is even harder for you not to have the added equipment to help conserve energy and to see and feel the hurt she is causing you by her attitude towards your illness. You did not choose this for yourself and I'm sure you don't blame anyone, but you need her to accepting of YOUR needs. Do you think she would be willing to read some things about mito that may help her better understand? Maybe the next time you go to her house you could just leave some general printed material on mito somewhere she would see it and maybe read it. It might be best not to even tell her you brought it. She may feel more open to learning if she doesn't feel forced or confronted to learn about it. These are just some ideas that you can just hit the delete key on if you want. You know your Mom better than any of us, but I just thought I would share some ideas with you. McCombs wrote: >Hey Laurie, > >I know that it is time that I pace myself better.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Hi , have you thought about asking your doc to call your Mom ? If it's doc Simpson I would bet he'd be willing to help you out. Although it would be nice if she understood what you're going through, you ultimately have to do what's in YOUR best interest.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Alice Thanks for understanding the emotions of such a big change. Friday was a horrible day - 13 IEPs and then a teacher said 6 more had to be done by Monday (it was 1:30 and parents hadn't been contacted). I was so exhausted and mad that I left and went into the office. I was ready to leave it all right then, but decided I wanted to go out on a positive note. Lets hope there is one to go out on. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2005 19:40:54 -0000 > To: > Subject: Laurie > > > I'm counting down those two weeks with you.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Hi , I hope Laurie is okay during the storm. We had 2 really bad storms with Hail, hurricane winds, and Rain. It seems that it has settled down, at least for now. We lost power but only for awhile, which is unheard of since we are in the country and we usually lose it for hours and hours on end. Who ever is in the storms track...be safe and know we are thinking of you!!!

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Hi Dolores, I live in the Northeastern part of Pa. Close to NY and close to NJ. Right now things are calm, alittle rumbling but that is all. I can imagine why you hated the Wizard of Oz when you were young.... How sad that a kids movie can make children so scared and frieghtened. Hugs, Ann-Marie At 11:42 PM 6/6/2005, you wrote: >Where are you located?

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Hi Thanks to all for your concern. Our storm was on Sunday and not bad where I live. There were tornadoes spotted about 15 miles away, but they didn't come down, so no damage or injuries. There were a lot of trees down on the west side of Michigan. I made it through the storm with the power staying on - no problem. Then yesterday, under a blue sky, we lost power. It was out for only about 3 hours - they predicted much more. It came on just when it got too dark to read or do anything. laurie > > Hi Dolores, > > I live in the Northeastern part of Pa. Close to NY and close to NJ.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Just a note--the power here in Northeastern WI flickers once in a while during the day at work. There was one tornado sited but no injuries. The power may be flickering because of high fan and air conditioning use--here it has been in the 80's, one place hit 89. We also have the humidity so that makes the heat index close to 100. So, stay cool everyone. I do terrible in heat and humidity so have the fan blowing as we do not have an air conditioner where we just moved. Definitely getting one soon.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Janet We are also having the heat and humidity. I don't have air conditioning either. Something that I found that really helps, as I too don't do well with the heat, is to get a small spray bottle, fill it with water and spray your skin with it. It acts like sweat, but you can spray more. I use it with a fan. Once my skin is dry, I spray again. laurie > Just a note--the power here in Northeastern WI flickers once in a while during the day at work.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Janet We are also having the heat and humidity. I don't have air conditioning either. Something that I found that really helps, as I too don't do well with the heat, is to get a small spray bottle, fill it with water and spray your skin with it. It acts like sweat, but you can spray more. I use it with a fan. Once my skin is dry, I spray again. laurie > Just a note--the power here in Northeastern WI flickers once in a while during the day at work.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 I was born in 03/02/36 and Kansas was burning up that year (so I am told). We lived in an upstairs apt and by July my Dad said the heat was unbearable for a baby, so he searched all ove Topeka and finally found a ten inch oscillating fan, then he got a block of ice broke it inhalf and set it in a pan in front of the fan to make it cooler for me.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 That was the " Good Old Days " . The only time my huusband and I ever had a Major difference of opinion was in the summer, I hate air-conditioners and I would freeze each and every time I had to walk in from of one the window units. In our mini-home I just wore flannel shirts and sweats. When we were first married we lived on a shady hill on a farm where we opened all the windows and had wonderful fresh air even on the warmest day and we only owned one large oscillating fan that we used to push air through the house.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 thanks Laurie, I will have to try that. Actually my 12 yr old son already does that. He has a spray bottle with a little fan attached to it he got back in 2001 from Disneyland. He actually uses it with a slightly bigger personal fan and also another bottle that is similiar I found last year at Walmart. Keep cool-- Janet Re: Laurie > > > Glad to hear your power outage wasn't more extensive.
