Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hi Matt,I have to eat with any med that is even potentially nasty for my stomach. This goes even for the Cellcept that I started a week ago (Cellcept is suppose to be taken on empty stomach one hour before or two hours after med). My rheum told me to do this b/c of my hx (GI bleed about 3 years ago from diverticulosis) of GI problems. Anyway, my med absorption is delayed I'm sure but in order to be able to tolerate it I have to do this. Of course, do not do this without first consulting with your physician. Many times GI problems can be associated with the meds we take. Your doctor may order tests too in order to see stomach emptying, etc. I also have gastroparesis where the pacemaker nerve in my stomach doesn't work properly so emptying is delayed and that can cause nausea and other problems. This probably is r/t the meds or the diabetes I have b/c of the longterm steroid use. Could even be from 15+ yrs of hypothyroidism. Blessings,Becky Cheap Talk? Check out Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hi Debbie, Well you can see I am way behind in emails, we had a very nice Thanksgiving with family hope you did too. I think this suspended driving with my son may be a blessing, as now all his other friends are stepping up to the plate and doing the driving, I’m sure that has to help him out in the gas dept. in fact his best friend and his girlfriend showed up with cars, they didn’t have before this the Friday after Ben got put on suspension, hmm funny how that happened like that, lolJ. Hope all is well in your house, with three boys, wow, I have 5 older brothers and I know there were crazy times! Take care, Marla From: Neurosarcoidosis [mailto:Neurosarcoidosis ] On Behalf Of Debbie Sent: Sunday, December 03, 2006 3:04 PM To: Neurosarcoidosis Subject: RE: Matt in Seattle Hi Marla, Hope your feeling better after your surgery. Did you and your family have a good Thanksgiving? I know how those teenage boys go with 3 of my own. And especially driving. My third one is bugging me now because he will be 15 and a half in January and that's when you can legally start learning how to drive here. This is the kid I was waiting for to drive - OHOH. I hope you can relax a bit with your son, I know it isn't easy. Hugs, Debbie T.

He is now driving on a suspended license until June 21, he got two tickets within a year that went over his under 18 points, the first one was driving “100” on I-25, and it started out at 6 points went to court and the DA reduced it to 3 pts. As we make him take a defenseless driving course, Then on our anniversary when we were out eating got a call and he was in an accident, only this one total both cars, he was driving his girlfriends car and get this hit his high school counselor, she broke her wrist, that was 4 pts failure to stop at a red light, he was not speeding, Thank God but said he saw the red light but it didn’t register, you only have 6 pts until your 18, that was 7, and even thought he over 18 now and has more pts. He still has to pay the time, he can drive to school, work, hockey and church and that’s it, if they stop him and he is not in his “area” automatic 5 days jail, and NO license for a year, I will be praying a lot, he needs the job to finish paying me off, we had to pay the difference of his girlfriends car that insurance didn’t cover. Isn’t life fun!! Yesterday I had to have a minor procedure in a very uncomfortable place, so will be up and down all day. Can’t seem to sit to long, or stand to long, of course that’s no different really from every day and Sarc. Sorry to rattle on, maybe we can get together next spring when you come out. Glad you are so much better Matt, tell your Mom hi, Love ya, Marla From: Neurosarcoidosis [mailto:Neurosarcoidosis ] On Behalf Of Cohen Sent: Friday, November 24, 2006 9:11 PM To: Neurosarcoidosis Subject: RE: Matt in Seattle Hi Marla- my car has a dent in the front door but is otherwise ok - i will most likly go to Denver next spring.
