Hi Clint,

I just wanted to say welcome and let you know you have support through this.

Unfortunately I can't really answer your questions as I did not have issues

with the facial nerve. I can guess that they will want to schedule your

surgrey quickly. Also, I don't know that you have to assume that it's a big

c-toma but maybe that it just grew in that area? (don't get me wrong, it

could be big). C-tomas grow in all different areas of the ear. I left the

outcome of my surgery in the Lord's hands and I pray that everything turns

out for you the best it can. Take care.

Hi Clint

From my personal experience I'm pretty sure there is no " definite "

anything with c-tomas so it's difficult for anyone to really advise

before you have your scan. In my own case I had no obvious signs

that I had c-toma at all other than hearing loss, and even that

wasn't major - my otologist was baffled that I hadn't suffered

certain symptoms!

I can't blame you for being nervous but the best thing to do is have

the scan and speak to the experts as of course they're better placed

to advise you on your particular case.

I didn't experience any kind of paralysis but, saying that, it's not

necessarily for life. Once surgery has taken place there may be a

chance that the nerve which causes the paralysis rights itself.

Again, a question for you to ask the experts! I suggest taking a

note book cos they often come out with big confusing words that I

like to look up when I get home *lol* I also bought a 'map' of the

ear so that I can look at the different sections and have a visual

idea of what's gone on. Then my otologist got an 'ear cam' so he

can actually put a tiny camera in my ear so I can see my c-toma -

that'll freak you out!!!

No doubt they will want to operate as quickly as possible, this

would be the case with the majority of c-tomas anyway because of the

risk of further damage. The best news is that they found this in

time for them to do something about it - it's good to look on the

bright side with this one.

Let us know how it goes.

I LOVE LL! I'm 47, and no twins, but I have 3 active kiddosthat I homeschool -

19 yod (actually, she's doing CollegePlus! now), 12 yos, and an 8 yos. About 4

years ago, my health was at a crossroads. I was finally appropriately diagnosed

by a holistic doctor with hypothyroidism. That was causing me all kinds of

problems, including fatigue, muscle aches, and weight gain. I could not lose

weight no matter how hard I tried. Also, I was having other hormonal problems,

related to the thyroid issue, along with adrenal fatigue. I too have the T-Tapp

tapes and took some pointers from them - stance, etc. I also do Hoe-Downs after

many of my meals. But, to tell you the truth, I was just too tired to do much

else. I've been doing LL off and on since that time. This year in June, I

started a low carb diet again (this time it took) and doing no exercise other

than LL and my karate classes. I've lost 31 lbs since then and I feel like a

brand new person.

I can't tell you enough good things about LL. My abs are really looking great.

We have to do crunches in our karate class and I'm the old lady who can do them

without moaning and groaning like the kids do! I attribute that to LL. It is a

tremendous energizer and relaxer all at the same time. I believe if you buy

Rashelle's DVDs, you'll find you like them better than any you've ever tried.

Love and best wishes to you,

Melinda )

Hi, new here

There are lots of posts here, I jsut joined and do not have time to

sort through them all just yet... so... does this really work? Does it

work without dieting? I am so tired of diets- and I cannot seem to

stick with them anyway. I am so tired too- I really need some energy,

I know I need more activity in my life, but I am always too tired to

get off my rear. I will be 40 next March, I have 3 1/2 yo twins, and I

am in a size 16/18 (when I should be in a 6), with 60+ extra pounds on

my body. Everytime I start a diet, I do well, lose weight, " fall off "

the diet, and then gain the weight back plus. I have t-tapp tapes

which do work, but are just too exhausting for me to do for a while. I

even have Callanetics and Chicometrics tapes, but no motivation to do

a one hour workout. I want to buy these tapes, but I know my hubby

will be mad if I spend more money and do not use the tapes (and

rightly so). So please, just tell me if LL tapes will work alone!

Hi Beth,

Welcome! And Yes Lifelift does work. It increases the oxygen

withint our bodies healing us from within; you look younger; feel a

good energy; and then you lose inches and weight.

Rashelle has a Family Fitness Program called OxygenZoo which also

has the instructional portion of the breath on it. You may consider

purchasing that and then you can do the exercises along with your

children. They are the perfect age to start the good habit of

exercising and having the best fun ever while doing it!

I have personally been doing Lifelift for I think 8 years now. I

have been very successfull in many ways and highly recommend the

program.

Good luck to you!

Hi Beth and Welcome to this wonderful support group:

You have found the last exercise program you'll ever need to do.

Honestly, LifeLift breathing is amazingly simple, refreshing,

relaxing and enjoyable. You'll not only lose weight and inches ( I

lost 9lbs in 1 week without dieting), but you'll gain more energy,

have a lesser stress level ( I usually feel an inner calm after doing

my 15 minute workout), heal your body from within, and exude a

radiancy because of it. Breathing just plain makes you feel good!

You gotta breath to live, right? So, why not breath in a way that

will do more than help you live, but live better. Hope this helps :-)

PS - I have about 60lbs to lose and believe me, with LifeLift it is

so possible. No measuring, weighing or portioning required. Live your

regular life and add a few extra breaths in between - you can do this

anywhere.

you should have stopped it(LEXAPRO) after doctors advice

anyways what u discribed as withdrawal is very minor and should go on its

own so dont worry

but consulting a psychiatrist will be the best option

well, I can tell you this is anything but minor. These symptoms that I am having

(since stopping the medication) are NOT minor, they are major life disrupting

symptoms. Had I have known about what happens when you go off this drug, I would

have NEVER ever started it. On Lexapro's website it sounds easy to go off of.

Now, if you go to drugs.com's lexapro forum you can learn that it takes the

brain 12-18months to *rewire* itself. This is some serious stuff that is being

readily prescribed to anyone who is having a stressful rough patch in their

lives. It is definitely being over-used IMO, and people should be forewarned of

what occurs within your brain when you stop. I am reading that even tapering

people are STILL experiencing the sheer hell that I am. Thankyou for your

comment, but you should know that this is NOT a *minor* thing to go through. It

is the worst thing I have ever gone through in my life. 10,0000 times worse than

I felt before even going on it and I don't know how on earth I can get through

another month, 2, 6, 12 of feeling like this.

I want off the Lexapro. I have reactive anxiety job related. I have been taking

Lexapro 10mg for two months now, and I am gaining weight. I had a

depression/anxiety due to my new job, and I had difficult time. My treatment is

temporary, but I want to get off the medication as soon as possible. I started

to take one another day for a week. Now, I am on half a dose everyday for a

week. Then, I will start half a dose one another day until Saturday when I get

to go to the Doctor in order to get more instructions on how to get off the

Lexapro. I am doing very good.

My advice is to get back on the Lexapro or get on Celexa...I tried to stop

Celexa (which is the same a Lexapro - just an older medicine), and I became

suicidal, depressed, anxious, thought I was going crazy. (when I tried to stop

cold turkey) You cannot just cold turkey stop any medicine. Your body rebels.

See your doctor.

Hi, new here

Hi everyone, first off I am so glad I found this group. I am hoping a

few of you might have some friendly advice.

I was diagnosed a type 1 diabetic 13 months ago at age 32. My

endocrinologist suggested Lexapro to me about 6 months ago, but at

that time I was not ready to try it. I did go on it 3.5 months ago

and honestly it worked BEAUTIFULLY! I weaned my youngest daughter

down to 1 session (breastfeeding) a day when I went on it. Well, she

got sick 2 weeks ago, wanted to nurse more, and I stopped taking the

Lexapro because I was worried about her getting too much in my

breastmilk.

fast forward to now..........it has been 2 weeks and I feel out of

control, worse than before. I have been having brain *shocks*, brain

jiggling, not sure quite how to describe this but I am having severe

withdrawal symptoms. Should I get back on it? It has gotten worse

every day.

I now think my stopping 10mg. per day cold turkey (after being on it

for 3 months) was probubly the worst decision I have ever made. I

thought I owuld just be able to *get through it* but this is beyond

rediculous....

any words of wisdon would be greatly appreciated!

Thankyou,

Don't be fooled...there are no MINOR symtoms when you get off any meds. My

question is...why do you want to stop it? You said you felt great on it. It is

prescribed so people FEEL better, so depression doesn't interfere with your

functioning. My Celexa saved my life! I've been on it for 3 years, no side

effects, no suicidal thoughts. I function like a normal person. DO NOT stop

something until you consult with your doctor, first....and weigh your options.

Right now you feel like crap. When you were on the Lexapro you felt good. What

does that tell you? Medicine is medicine. It was created to help us function

normally. There's no shame in taking medicine.

well, today I am into week 3 and things are 1000% better. I think I have

surpassed the worst of it. Well, I decided to definitely not go back onto the

Lex. (many reasons for this, one is vanity. I am very afraid of gaining weight,

first to admit it is totally vanity, but I work out alot and would be devastated

if I gained alot of weight. ) I have decided to try a variety of herbal/natural

things. If in a few months etc. I feel I *should* be on something then I will

try something else. I don't think I will try the lexapro again. It did make me

feel soooo mellow, but honestly it also made me too mellow. I could care less

what life was throwing me. Just a bit too mellow. I am not *against* meds, I do

honestly think they have their place. I just don't think Lexapro was the right

thing for me personally. What I have felt coming off it has also made me wonder

exactly what in my brain it is changing. Also, it is metabolized in the pancreas

(per drugs.com info) and I am a type 1 diabetic. My poor pancreas do not need

anything else bothering them....

Things are getting MUCH better week 3........ Today I only had the lightest

brain *buzzing* and nothing more....

-0800Subject: Re: Hi, new here

,My advice is to get back on the Lexapro or get on Celexa...I tried to stop

Celexa (which is the same a Lexapro - just an older medicine), and I became

suicidal, depressed, anxious, thought I was going crazy. (when I tried to stop

cold turkey) You cannot just cold turkey stop any medicine. Your body rebels.

See your doctor.

Hi, new hereHi everyone, first off I am so glad I found this group. I

am hoping a few of you might have some friendly advice. I was diagnosed a type 1

diabetic 13 months ago at age 32. My endocrinologist suggested Lexapro to me

about 6 months ago, but at that time I was not ready to try it. I did go on it

3.5 months ago and honestly it worked BEAUTIFULLY! I weaned my youngest daughter

down to 1 session (breastfeeding) a day when I went on it. Well, she got sick 2

weeks ago, wanted to nurse more, and I stopped taking the Lexapro because I was

worried about her getting too much in my breastmilk. fast forward to

now..........it has been 2 weeks and I feel out of control, worse than before. I

have been having brain *shocks*, brain jiggling, not sure quite how to describe

this but I am having severe withdrawal symptoms. Should I get back on it? It has

gotten worse every day. I now think my stopping 10mg. per day cold turkey (after

being on it for 3 months) was probubly the worst decision I have ever made. I

thought I owuld just be able to *get through it* but this is beyond

rediculous....any words of wisdon would be greatly appreciated!

Thankyou,(mommy to 4 kids, type 1 diabetic, married to the love of my life,

work-out a holic! LOL

My psychiatrist has no confidence in herbal remedies. There is no

regulation on them and some of them could be dangerous.

i had been on St. 's Worts for many years, but they started to no longer

work so i had to resort to something more which is the Lexapro. I have on it for

almost 2 weeks and I am feeling 100% better. I am slowly getting back into a

routine,i am finally sleeping, and the I feel so much calmer. I also started

back slowly at the gym. Tonight was my 1st night in about 4 months that I ran

20 minutes on the treadmill.
