Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Thanks for the welcome! This group seems very warm and welcoming. Yeah- exercise was hard to do regularly at the beginning- for me- but now it is going very well- I had to decide that my getting to the gym was more important to me than making my family's life easier by being home. Other hurdles, too, of course played their part. Water is almost the only thing I drink- I mean it is RARE for me to drink anything else. I do take literally 3 sips of juice in the morning with my vitamins (womens daily and vit and it's pure cranberry juice so that may why I don't want anything else... I actually love the feeling and crispness of water. What is your plan like? Best Wishes!

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Oh Sue- it is soooo hard when your body hurts! Have you tried swimming/playing in the water? When I did that, I began to think of my body as light and flexible and free- I was just playing around in the pool- and feeling that way about my body was such an invaluable beginning to exercising. It is incredibly important to me to find something fun to do when I exercise. I go to the gym and get on the elliptical because it feels like I'm flying when I'm on it- really!!! I close my eyes and feel the air rushing around and it feels like flying. I also hike in the mountains near my home because I imagine that I am an explorer and coming across new land- come to thik of it, my imagination has a lot to do with it I guess... and then of course the feeling of my body becoming strong and healthy is amazing! Do you meditate at all? If you're interested, this really helps your mind to redefine your body and habits even if they haven't changed yet.

I wouldexcercise for 2 weeks and then stop for no reason then go back for a day andthen stop againThat's my problem. I can do it and feel great for 5 days a week for a weekor 2, then do only 1 or 2 days the next week, either from laziness orbusyness, then just not do it at all for a week or so. Of course, by thenI'm starting to feel lousy again and have problems making it up the stairsto my third floor apartment, and then go gung-ho again.>but now it's finally a part of my day and I'm hoping to increase myactivity level even more.The weeks I *do* stick with it, I always make myself a deal - no breakfastuntil a video is done, unless it's a treadmill day, then it's no lunch,because I can't use the tread early in the morning or it disturbs myneighbor.It's usually a missed treadmill day that throws me off track. I say no lunchuntil it's done, but get so tied up with other things during the day thatbefore I know it, it's 3 or 4pm and I've neither walked or ate, so I grab aquick lunch and promise to do better the next day. It was a mistake evenbuying that thing, it turned out as I miss more workouts when I plan onusing it instead of doing a video. I wanted one for decades but never had anapartment big enough for it. When we finally did, we wound up with adownstairs neighbor who took a disability retirement a few months after wemoved in.>I really enjoy exercising.I don't think those words will *ever* come out of my mouth! As a kid I wasvery active, always outside, playing ball with the boys, climbing walls,riding my bike or skating, and when I worked full time as a nurse I wasalways on the go, but now that I'm 52 and have many arthritic bones andjoints and a few spots of tendonitis and neuritis, exercise is the lastthing I want to do most mornings.Sue in NJ100-Plus Files page 100-plus/files100-Plus Links page 100-plus/links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 >Have you tried swimming/playing in the water? There's really no access to a pool around here. The Y pool is for the day care kids only, except for one hour a week they have senior swim (must show ID card, so I can't sneak in). The city has 2 pools - one outdoor and one in, but that one is in one of the elementary schools and is used year-round for the swim teams and all summer for the day camp. No open swim there at all. The Jewish center has a pool for members only, but the price is astronomical. > Do you meditate at all? I've got plenty of tao meditation books and loads of meditation music CD's. You walk into my apartment and you think you're in a Chinese temple! LOL No incense, though - it bothers our asthma. Sue in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, all of your symptoms are listed as being candida-related - see my article " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " . You can also take Dr. Crook's Candida Questionnaire to confirm that you have candida, but in any case the diet and supplements recommended here will help anyone's body heal naturally because it gives the body what it needs to do it's job of keeping you healthy. Please read my article, which was sent to you when you joined, along with other articles in our Group's Files (see the left menu on the Group). The most important aspect of becoming well is the diet; you may have started on antifungals too soon - again please read my article so you understand what this group is all about, and then you can join in and ask questions appropriately.

I know I did a couple times. It is a MAJOR life change, right up there with marriage, divorce, death in the family, having a baby, etc. Some would say it is bigger than any of those. Guess that all depends. As to the liquids, that will pass. Personally, I can't stand any drink made from powder an buy the canned options instead. At least they don't separate or get lumpy. But whatever works for your taste and your budget. Lots of times crying, whining, yelling, etc, make us feel better. But you know what? You're not doing what you used to do under those conditions.....you're NOT EATING. Welcome dan " Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hi Felicia, I had my band surgery on Jan. 30, 2007. I understand completely your breaking down in tears. I think it is probably normal. I had surgery on a Tuesday and on that Friday, for no apparent reason, I just fell into depression. I was crying. I had to go upstairs and cry it all out (a few times) and remember all the reasons why I had the surgery. It didn't take long to remember. The next day I was feeling better. By Sunday I was feeling so much better and couldn't figure out why I was such a mess on Friday. You are in a healing phase right now. I think sometimes the liquid diet gets to us especially if you were on a liquid diet before surgery. I'm eating " normal " food now and it will get better as each day and each week goes by, Felicia. Hang in there. This will soon be a mere memory. Jerra > > Hi Everyone, > > My name is Felicia and I just had lap band surgery one week ago today.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hi, FElica - welcome! Banding is a whole new life, for sure. We usually miss food at first, because we will not be " drowning our sorrows " with overeating. This can be hard, and also many other issues will arise with any type of weight loss. Banding affects every single area of our lives, and more than we could ever imagine when we are just staring. For this reason, i always urge people to get some regular, ongoing therapy. The guidance, suppportm and perepctive of a good therapis can be invaluable, and us an impt factor in our success. Glad you're here!

I think you outliving your husband has more to do with his being male, than HIV+. I have been positive over 25 years, am still very active and fit and work in a very demanding job 4 days a week. Please google "sperm washing HIV", I think you'll find that there are techniques available so that you and your husband can conceive. Stay posted.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Greetings Carli - Some helpful phone numbers for you and your hubby are: Idaho's AIDS Hotline run by 211 Idaho Care Line- either 800-926-2588 or just 211. Project Inform's National HIV/AIDS Treatment Hotline- Mon-Fri 10a - 4 p 1-800-822-7422 Women Alive from Los Angeles warmline Mon Fri 10 a - 6 p 1-800-554-4876. Project Inform also has a publication, Sex and Prevention Concerns for Positive People, located at http://www.projectinform.org/info/sex/sex.pdf . My understanding is that the sperm washing performed at fertility clinics is the same type of sperm washing that removes hiv from the fluid surrounding sperm. Of course, there will be folks mentioning the recently released Swiss government report that researched articles indicating under certain circumstances that no hiv was passed onto the mom in a group of couples studied who has children when the dad was hiv positive (if the mom remains negative, than the infant will be negative). Hope this message and future ones brighten your springtime! GoldmanSan Francisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Yes, traumas do that to people, so that please do not allow yourself be sad, embrace yourself with love and nurture yourself in any way. Meditation will help you take control over your feeling and over your life and fear and anxiety will leave you one day. Be strong - it is our choice to be whatever we want to be, we are free to become strong and happy. So, deliberately choose to be happy everyday - it night not be easy at first, but after some time you will become happy person - work with yourself. Do not allow trauma to throw you into victimhood. Wish you all the best.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hi Kathleen, welcome on board and I hope you get all the help and support you need from this forum. We started off as a UK group, but we have long since gone International - which is great, and it is good to hear how other people are being diagnosed and treated in other countries. Are you living in Northern or Southern Ireland. Yes, Dr Lowe is a great doctor with very strong views about mainstream medicine - and I admire him tremendously. I did hear the Pod cast and it was great to hear such an honourable mention of our group. Janie and I work a lot together and have spoken to each other with Skype. It was good that we could actually talk 'face to face'. Luv - Sheila Hi and thanks v much for the welcome..I heard of this group on a podcast from stop the thyroid madness.. Are you guys in the u.K ?

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 OK, so you were born with Klinefelters 47xxy. You have it and it can not be changed or " cured " . So do not dwell on what can not be changed. The symptoms can be treated. The low " T " can be increased by injections of 100mg per week. The high E2 can be treated by Arimidex & DIM. The boobs can only be reduced by surgery or learn to live with them as a normal part of " your " body. There are several variations of Klinefelters that you can have. I have the Mosaic version in that my entire body does not have the extra female chromosomes. The Testicles produce some sperm. My extra female chromosomes are in the upper body, very little body hair, big boobs, almost no facial hair, little muscle mass, small testicles, & young looking face. The " T " injections will make you feel better & increase the body & facial hair. ..5cc of Testosterone Cyp in a 27ga x 1/2 " 1cc syringe is painless injected into the top outer thigh. The Arimidex & DIM will stop the growth of the boobs, & may lessen the joint pain. Most Kline felters I have read about or met are loners, many are in the computer programmer business or some job that does not require much in the way of social skills. We learned to fight early as teens because we were different, & many had boobs. The Mosaic ones can have children normally, but the number of sperm is small. I fought depression for years & did not know what it was. I finally accepted that I am the way I am & the depression mostly is gone. I am still a loner that never developed social skills. I like country music. I am married many years with children. You are not alone. Observe the males in " T " shirts that are not fat & have boobs. They are probably Klinefelters & have learned to accept their body. Boob sizes runs from " A " to " C " . Mine are a B/C. I do not go shirtless in public, so I do not go to the beach. You do have to make some adjustments, usually for the benefit of others. Good luck > > Hi im new to the group , im 31 year old from Perth Australia, i Have klinefelters syndrome xxy or xyx ,well what should i say , i've been taking steroids for xyx for about 9 years now , my god what a roller coaster ride it was in the early stages, i was taking sustanon 250mgs back then thankfully now im on reandron 1000mg and things have been great, have tried the gel/ patches/ lower doses of sustanon but they all suck, never tried the pellets ( not too keen on getting my tummy cut open) , yer so oh i am taking antidepressants though about 2 years ago i had a nervous break down ,things weren't looking too good there but since being on meds and seeing my shrink regularly everything is alot better, man listen to me go on, as for meeting other xxy's ive never actually met any i've talk to one guy ( 40s) who lived around my way ( at the time) on the phone we were suppose to meet but it didn't happen...i've always wondered what other xxy's are like are they similar to me do we share the same sort of experiences, how many of you xxy's deal with anxiety, man i cant stand having it, drives me nuts days where im just freaking out to go outside and do simple things i don't know but i have this problem with people, i don't really like them much but i crave attention when i'm not getting any, maybe its a sign of depression or maybe im just not getting out i have a few friends not many i see regulary though and that sucks, oh yer im into dance music... love it... like paul van dyk, trance anthems , dj tiesto, what sort of music are you into i mean for your tastes...anyway i hope i can meet alot more of you, seeya > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
