Hi Crystal! That figures. Isn't that the way it is with all the

meds we take? Maybe our bodies shouldn't be so " adaptable. "

I am doing great. I am really glad I went through with the TP/ICT. It

was well worth it for me. I finially got my life back that I lost. I

only received 105,000 islet cells so I am diabetic now. That seems to

be going well so far except for a few highs and lows.

Right now I am trying to get off the OxyContin I have been on for

over 2 years. I am having a tuff time with the withdrawls so far. I

have gotten about 6 hours of sleep in 3 days. I have the restless

legs, diahrrea, and flu like symptoms. If I take a norcotic it all

goes away in an hour. Hopefully I will get through the worst part

soon. I am 2 months ahead of what they told me it would take to get

off it.

I want to thank you again for answering alot of the questions I had

before my surgery. I really appreciate it a lot. It's nice to

acutally talk to someone else who has went through the same thing.

How have you been doing? I hope you are doing well!

Crystal,

of course we remember you. It's so good to hear from you. I was

wondering how you were doing. Have the islets kicked in (started

workimng) yet? Are you able to eat anything you want now?
