Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 Liz, thank you for all your encouragement. Yes, I find that the nurses in the hospitals are more than willing to explain all of your meds. I really questioned the shot in the stomach. LOL It still hurts. Must have really hit a muscle. LOL Yes I do remember my dr situation. Just proves if we never give up and keep looking we will find the perfect ( or near perfect ) team. LOL I feel so thankful for mine. I have to change insurances in Oct, so probably will have to work something else out. I will cross that bridge when I get there. I know you are going to Africa soon, but can't remember when. Please tell me again. How long will you be gone this time.? Can't wait to hear the stories. You just bring so much adventure into our lives. Thanks for sharing all your great stories with us. Gosh I miss you so. Let me tell everyone. Once you meet anyone in this group, you will miss them so after your visit. I actually think it has been harder since meeting you all in Okie land. But wouldn't have changed a thing. Just a really close bond. You ALL must save those pennies. You can never imagin all the love and caring that is in ONE room. AND all the laughter. LOL Well, I'm off to get some work done. Rich was snoring through his C pap machine and once I'm awake, that is it for the day. So looks like I should get something done. lOL Have a great Sunday. hugs claudia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 Oh Liz boo hoo! I wish we all didn't live so far apart! I sure am looking forward to our next big RP get together that is for sure. I am planning on getting busy on it real soon! Heidi will be on my butt if I don't!LOL Thanks for always being there and for the great advise! Sounds like some my Mom would give me! Lots of love Glenda Glenda, so glad that Phyllis is home and on the up andup.Sorry to hear that you are having some worries. Iunderstand entirely about the worrying more aboutother people, when it is yourself you know what ishappening and (most of the time) you feel more incontrol. One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was don'tworry about things you can't do anything about. It isa waste of energy. If worrying will spur you to dosomething, by all means worry; but if it can't affectthe outcome try and keep it under control. Mind youlike all these pieces of advice, it is easier saidthan done!!You take good care of yourself, Glenda, and I know youwill do everything necessary to get this problemsorted. Much love Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Am glad you had such a lovely time there , hope you got some good pics to share.... Also, the snake thing, my mom would have been in 7th heaven. When my family moved out to Colorado they had to tell my mom not to go out and pick up the snakes as a lot of them were poisoness. Where she grew up in Iowa she would play with the field snakes. and at picnics we went too in colorado some people would bring there boa's; well she would have one wrapped around her arms and looped in the back of her and walk around. Least to say i will touch a garter snake, but that is it.... : ) Barbara aka bj Re: Liz hi lizz welcome home. i always look forward to your post of your trip and your adventures.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 Thanks for the information, Liz. I will keep that in mind in case the nystatin doesn't work. My doctor was a bit surprised that I have had no problems with all the med's I am on up to now, then I have to turn up with thrush. Hopefully the medication will do the trick. Thanks again.

Love, Marilyn K. > > Marilyn, these sound to me as if you are diabetic, although if these are values without medication you may not need medication yet. Do remind your PCP about it and ask if you need to do anything else about it. I personally find mtx has a lowering effect on mine, but only the day I take it. But these things are progressive, and different meds do different things - I find albuterol inhalers send mine up. You might ask him to to a Hb1ac test which shows how you are doing over a three month period. A fasting blood sugar doesn't necessarily prove anything, a glucose tolerance test shows more. What the nurse says is true, if your system is working OK your levels should remain between around 80 and 110. You don't want to wait until it becomes a big problem. Good luck, love Liz __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2002 Report Share Posted August 8, 2002 Liz You are such a sweet lady. Always there to encourage us! You are so right about the exercise. If I just sit around I get depressed. I have to get myself up and going. I find that the more active I stay the better off I am with RP too. Glad that your rheumy visit went well. Sounds like you are doing all the right things. Gosh we wont know you when we see you again in Oregon. You will have to send us a picture so we can pick you out.LOL Just kidding. I will remember you always. We had so much fun in Okieland and I am sure that it will be just as much fun here too. I have never seen so many people who had never met except on the internet hit it off so well. It was like we had all known each other forever. Like old friends getting together. I know I sure enjoyed each and everyone of you! ) I am sure looking forward to the Reunion here in Oregon. Take care and keep us posted on how you do with the pulmonologist today.

I can't wait for Oregon, and hopefully we will meet lots of our 'new' friends. Well, the pulmonologist was so pleased with me. 'Thrilled' was the word he used. My breathing is sooo much better than when I first saw him. He also remembered that I was having a really hard time with the arthritis and my ear was flaring. It was he who recommended me to see Dr Hallegua, my rheumy, for which I am eternally grateful!! When I first saw the pulmonologist I was taking Ventolin 4 times a day, and Becloforte (which is a strong steroid inhaler), 250mcg, and I was taking two puffs four times a day, and I STILL couldn't breathe properly, I used to wake up gasping in the night, which was very scarey. Now I don't take any inhalers, the 5mg pred seems to take care of it. (Well, and the metho and the plaquenil, LOL) I have not had to go to an emergency room for over four years!!! ALSO (bragging a little here) I got up at 6.00 am because Milla wanted to go out, and thought, while I am up I will do a few minutes on the treadmill. I did half an hour and this is before breakfast!!!!! I was taking 3 glucophage a day, now down to 2 and no glyburide. I don't suppose this will last forever, but I am enjoying it while I may!!!! I really am counting my blessings as I have been so lucky. Take care everyone.

I hope Rambo is OK, could be an ear infection, or other ear problem. Dogs and cats get a lot of the same sort of problems as humans. My trainer's dog has an autoimmune condition and she spent a fortune trying to stabilise it. One of our security people's wife is a vet, and they have a diabetic cat which they inject with insulin daily!! Cat is doing pretty well!! Going back to Rambo though, 17 is a pretty good age for a cat so I expect it is something age related. Let us know.

I am off to see my rheumy, Dr Hallegua, to get a follow up on the now disappearing flare, and get all my meds for the next three months. I usually feel better for seeing him, too.
