i was working for a vet in early late 80;s...we used to give oursevles vitamin b injections...yrs later he had passed..i also found out he had had hep c also

[Guest guest]

When I had my first hip replacement in 1989, even though I gave my own blood

for the surgery, they broke my thigh bone during the surgery, and more blood

was needed. Found out 4 yrs ago that the donor had Hep C which it was not

possible to screen for back then.

Of course it doesn't make any difference HOW you got it, the important thing

is what we do now.

My husband got his hep c over twenty years ago, more like thirty years ago, by

getting a tattoo.

[Guest guest]

I am one of those who has no idea how I got it. I have never done

drugs or anything like that. However, when I was in college my

friends and I used to go to a local clinic and sell our blood

plasma. The would take a pint and spin it down to get the plasma and

then give the red cells back. Sounds like a likely place to get Hep

C but every doctor I have seen doesn't think it is likely. Some

people never know how they got it.

Hi Group,

I am Donna, My partner Jon is on week 12 of treatment. (Peg) He is on a cocktail

of other meds too, and seems to be escaping with fairly mild physical sides, but

quite hard to deal with mental ones. Does anyone suffer from sudden head rushes

followed by dizziness, almost like the beginnings of a panic attack? Jon gets

this frequently and is totally immobilized by them. He has to lay still and not

get up to avoid them happening?

Any ideas? this isn't like Hypo tension,(If that is the right name) where the

blood runs from the head and you feel light headed)

Thanks

Hello Donna. I had a similar problem. Chisel pounding into the

brain, then sit before you fall. It could be any number of things.

In my case it was dehydration the Dr. said. You say he is on other

meds as well? Are they all from the same doctor. If not it could be

some kind of interaction thing. Make sure all the docs know what the

other ones are prescribing.

Hi Indreamsiwalk...

The vast majority of people with scoliosis never require surgery. Your pain

could be from scoliosis, but more likely it's from your injury. I'd like to

recommend that you see a good scoliosis specialist to have your curve(s)

measured and to get information on treatment.

Regards,

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Welcome to the group! While I can only speak for myself, I never had any

pain until after my rods were put in when I was 12. And even then, after the

pain of the surgery itself had subsided, I never really had anything but

what I would describe as discomfort, for at least 15 yrs. Do you think maybe

your pain could be originating from your injury? Either way, I know that

many, many people have scoliosis and never have surgery and lead a perfectly

normal life. I believe, and again this is only my info, that most Dr.s

suggest having surgery if the curve is over 50 degrees or there is some

other problems involved. I think the main thing to expect on your 1st visit

would be several x-rays and I'm sure the Dr. will want to know your complete

history and have many questions for you. Don't leave anything out and always

remember that any question you have for him is too small or silly. This is

the only way you will ever learn about YOUR scoliosis. By the end of the

visit he should be able to tell you the degree and kind of curve you have

and give you some suggestions as to treatment, possibly several kinds, not

all surgery.

I hope you have an appointment with a scoliosis specialist, as this is so,so

important. There are many things that many orthos don't know about

scoliosis.

Hope you'll write again and hope this helped just a little.

Be Safe and God bless,

Debbie

I know from talking to other LP women they say adverage men are always

hitting on them and it seems it's a sex thing. I have found it different for LP

men

being one myself.

[Guest guest]

From my bit of research, it seems that people would

prefer to date within their own height group. Just

what I've found, including LP. Some people believe

that love is the only thing that matters, and then

there are those that disagree (one person said " No, I

don't like freaks. " Weirdo).

I have a loving relationship with someone, so I can't

help out with how are attracted to LP because I'm not

attracted to anyone but my boyfriend

LP men? And with

that question in mind I do not want to take into

any " fetishes " that anybody has, where a man just

with an LP woman and treat her like an object not a

talking genuine relationships here. I guess it's my

This is from the main page's FAQs.

Q. When can I expect to see results?

A. Most people see results between weeks four and six, but many

people, especially those who have a substantial amount of weight to

lose, do see results much quicker and those with less body fat to

lose don't see results until week 7 or 8. The key is persistence,

and sticking to your plan. Don't cheat – the only loser will be

yourself. Staying power and determination are essential to your

success on this or any other program that you might try.

I believe I noticed results at week 4, week 6 and then wham at week

11. I started at about the same as you 5'5 123.5 lbs. And went

through the same " panic " at week 8 when I hadn't noticed changes from

week 6. Also I " felt " better, more fit, even tho some of my

measurements hadn't changed since week 6.

Colleen

[Guest guest]

thanks, i know patience is a virtue, but it's so hard to be patient

when you're throwing every fiber of yourself into doing something

well. I will just have to learn to judge my progress AFTER i have

completed the challenge, instead of in the middle. =-)

Hi ,

Great job! In 5 weeks you have actually lost 4.9lbs of fat plus the 2

pound scale loss for a grand total of 6.9lbs. The fat you have lost

3% has been replaced with lean muscle. That is why the scales haven't

moved alot.

You have done a great job so far. Most folks see the results in leaps

and bounds after week 8 so keep plugging away by 12 weeks you will

see a great difference.

Good luck.

[Guest guest]

yes you can overeat and hurt your new tummy. you must not eat

anything except V8, broth,tomato soup, saltines (soaked, melted and

chewed) gatorade, whey protein shakes (2-3 ounces at a time) etc.

then on to stage 2 and finally stage 3 foods. my advice is watch

what you eat NOW while your tool is working at its best. ditch old

destructive habits while you can. you CAN sabotage this and any

surgery. just dont do it. be good to yourself! good luck! keep us

posted

Dear April,

Everyone is soooooo different with their weight loss. In my first week I

lost 23.5 lbs. Most of it was water, but I didn't care.....It was weight

lost and now long forgotten. In the first month I had lost over 30 lbs, but

my mind fails me as to how much......But to be sure....Don't compare

yourself to others. Your weight will change, and so does y our body. In

fact everything changes.....whoopie!!!!!!!!

Just do what you know you are supposed to do and let things proceed at

the pace your body determines....It will not fail you, nor will the

surgery.....I stay right at 200-204 right now and was 358!!!! Now that is a

looser of big proportions.....

Take care and don't worry, be happy lol. in Mo.
