Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Sue, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Hope all went well today. Sounds like you are really having a time of it. You don't need it with all that is going on with you right now. Just take it easy and take care of yourself. I know easier said than done. My sister was a Realtor for ERA. She found out how important she was when she got sick. She went back to work after having a surgery and they had her answering the phone for minimum wage and wouldn't let her work but a day or two a week. Do you think they were trying to give her a hint!LOL Well it worked! Take care and know I think of you often. Lots of Love Glenda --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2001 Report Share Posted June 7, 2001 Sue Thank you for the kind words. My husband usually talks most of it out with me but it is in his own time. We have both lost our parents and that was much different. This is harder because he is closer to our age I think. I am patient, so I will wait him out. We have gotten through alot in the past years we will get through this one too! Lots of Love Glenda > Dear Glenda, men have such a problem with grief.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2001 Report Share Posted June 8, 2001 Dear Glenda, are you sure we don't have the same husband? I seem to get bits and pieces and then put them together. I wish you well over the next few weeks. Your friend...Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 Good Morning Marilyn, I'll tell you having panic attacks was the worst time of my life. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. I got to the point I didn't leave my house for years. Shouldn't say that, would go if someone took me and I could hang on to them. heaven forbid I was alone in a store. I really messed up my equalibrium. Then for some reason I started to get better. Fought my fears, and bingo most went away.That was before I was diagnosed. I do think all that " crap " was associated with the RP. Have a great day, its raining here but suppose to only last a couple hours. Love, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 > Hi Sue, Yes, I have had panic attacks for years!!!! Still get them once in a while, but not as bad. The medication (Zoloft) seems to have helped with that. Used to be much worse. Hope you are doing good. You are in my prayers. Love, Marilyn I thought I was just weird. Years ago I had problems with panic attacks. Dr.s > would prescribe anit-anxiety drugs, etc. I told them it seemed my body > reacted just the opposite of what the drug was suppose to do.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 Sue You know I love my mom to pieces but some days like today i could just scream. I had really bad night last night could sleep, and finally got to be about 5:30 this morning, and guess what she started at 6:10 am , wanted me to go to the store for her and do stuff and give her medicine and anything and everthing to keep me up. I can't wait , My sister in law is coming in from Ohio today or tommorow and she is going to make her go home with her for a week, and i am going to go to the moutains for a week, yeaaaaaaa dawn --- grandm4@... wrote: > Dear Dawn, my Mom has been in nursing homes for 6 > years, she has old age > dementia, congestive heart failure and her kidneys > are shutting down. > Dementia seems to be a family trait.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 Hi Sue, It's sunny here today. We deserve some nice weather for a change. I didn't get panic attacks when I left the house to go to the local stores, usually. Other than I kept thinking I had left the water run, or the stove on, or had left my cat outside. Several times we'd get half way to Spokane and I would make my husband turn around and go home so I could check to make sure. He'd get so blasted mad at me. It's called obsessive compulsive disorder (I think). I still get some panic when I hear a siren. That has gotten better. To me I was always afraid one of my family had been in an accident. Now you all know some of my fears, think I mentioned that I have hoof and mouth disease. Still can't get in an airplane though. That's one of my worst problems. I'm working on them. Without the meds I'd probably be a basket case. marilyn Good Morning Marilyn, I'll tell you having panic attacks was the worst time > of my life. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 Dear Marilyn, yes that is ocb, which is different. Heck I checked on all of them. Gratefully that's one I missed. would get so mad at me if we'd be in a store and he couldn't go to sporting goods without me. Heaven forbid anyone was out of range. My youngest son, who I think was 8-10 at the time would have to take me shopping. If I got panicky he would have to take me to the car even if we were only half way done with the shopping. Then of course it got to the point where I just couldn't go to places with a lot of people. I had to leave church during my father-in-laws funeral to get over an attack. I did manage to regroup and go back...Thank You God. Wouldn't you know today was good until about 3:30. Took the dog to the groomer, then went shopping. I never go shopping but today I did. Did a bunch of little stuff. Stopped at GNC and got a natural diaretic for my feet and years ago I took a liver pill. So got that. Then I actually got some clothes. Went to get the dog and he was having some sort of panic attack. He gets seizures once in awhile but he wasn't doing that he was shaking. Ran in and helped them somewhat finish him up, got out of there. He seems okay now, he's 8 years old, I think they may have hurt his back or hips. Just took him out and he's bow legged in the back end. When does someone cut me a break??? Love....Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 Way to go Dawn, I know my Mom was on an Alzeiheimers med for awhile and after 20 calls a day and fighting and taking here to appointments every week, the meds weren't working anyway, I told her to just stop. Of course she was scared to be off them so I went back to her house and threw them out. She was relieved. There was a joke I read once: Be nice to your kids, they pick out your nursing home. Have fun in the mountains...Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2001 Report Share Posted June 17, 2001 Sue, If you are losing your mind I am too!LOL Maybe I am and I don't realize it!LOL It does drive you crazy not to get everything and mine is so crazy I don't know how I would ever figure out which ones I have missed. Hope you are doing okay today! Lots of Love Glenda I also noticed that there will be a reply to something, or a joke, and I don't get the original message. It does me feel better though, thought I was loosing my mind...Love Sue --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 Sue, Yes it is the same thing. I'm really sorry for not answering you sooner. I'm still not getting my mail. UGGHH. I was wondering about the CoQ10 boosting the immune system... My cardiologist wants me on it for my heart and is also hoping it helps the fibro. If I do see flares or Rp coming on I will stop it and see if that is what is causing the problem. Since I started taking the Biaxin on a reg basis, I get real achey and hurt all over like the flu. You will have to ask Connie H what this is called, I can't remember. LOL But they recommend taking a bath with epsom salts and after soaking for 20 min pour in the Hyd. peroxide. It really helps me... Suppose to help pull out the toxins the Biaxin is helping to get rid of. I'm still new at this....Connie would have the answers for you. All I know is that I have felt better than I have in a long time.... Not GREAT... just better and have a good day here and there. lOL I'm with you...Lets be party animals on the good days,, and hopefully they will out number the bad... Hugs to you > . > One thing is the coQ10, Coenzyme Q10? Aren't are bodies amazing, I took that > and from what I understood it boosts the autoimmune system. But with our > different symptoms, etc. its working for you. > > Also, what is hydro peroxide? Lets me party animals on the good days!!! Love > ya.
