Guest guest Posted November 14, 2000 Report Share Posted November 14, 2000 Welcome Anita from a fellow Floridaian. I live in Haines City, which is about an hour and a half east of Tampa. My daughter, Jodi was diagnosed with AIH in Feb. She sees a hepatologist at the University of Miami, we go again Monday. This is a great group of people and we will help all we can. Take care and God bless, Genny/Jodi's Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2000 Report Share Posted November 14, 2000 Thank you Genny. You go quite a distance to see a Dr.! I was diagnosed about 2 1/2 yrs ago. Never could find much info about it until recently. Anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2000 Report Share Posted November 16, 2000 Hi Anita, yes we have about a four hour drive for Jodi to see her Hepatologist. She was referred to him by her Oncologist and Gastroenterolgist here in Haines City. I feel good about him because when she needs a transplant in will be done in Miami and we are learning our way around. Where do you see your doctors? Yes, it was very hard to get information until I joined this group. A lot of good info and good people here praying for each other......Do you have children and if so what are their ages? Hope to talk to you soon. Take care and God bless, Genny/Jodi's Mom/AIH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2000 Report Share Posted November 16, 2000 Hi Genny, my response to you was the first day I was in this group. Now I understand why you go to Miami. I didn't know about the liver transplant, I'm sorry to hear about that! No, I don't have any children. After a few deaths in the past few years all I have now is my kitty. I was seeing a Dr. in St. Pete. up until a year ago, he put me in remission, and then my HMO formed a new group of Dr.s and said I couldn't go to him anymore. Since I was in remission, I haven't gone to another, but have been fighting to go back to him, and starting next year they said I can have him as my Dr. again. Which is a good thing, because for the past week, I've been having pain again. I just had blood work done (liver profile) and haven't heard from my primary care Dr., he said he would call me if anything was abnormal, it wasn't last month, so am hoping I can hold off till next year. Gosh, I hadn't planned on writing all this. Sorry. Will keep you and your daughter in my prayers! Anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2000 Report Share Posted November 18, 2000 Hi Anita, write all you want to that's why I'm here. I am very sorry to hear you have lost loved ones recently, that most be hard on you. If I'm not being to nosey how old are you? I am 47 and Jodi is 27, my son is 22. Was blessed to have one of each because two children is all I wanted.......Please tell me you have more than a primary doctor. Was the doctor you had to stop seeing a Hepatologist or a Gastroenterolgist? Please forgive me but I do have senior moments. Do you have autoimmune hepatitis? Yes, the Hepatologist in Miami says Jodi will have to have a liver transplant but she is not on the list yet. We go to see him Monday and he told her Gastroenterolgist that he is doing some test while she is there but he didn't say what. She has had several bad lab results in the last couple of months so we don't know what to expect. She also has a low platelet count so that's why they have not done a liver biopsy. I'm not an expert on this stuff but I was told this is one of the things that has to be done before going on the transplant list. I think he was waiting to see if the Prednisone would bring up her platelet count. It has some but have a long way to go.........You said you have been having pain, have you called your doctor about this? If not please do so soon. You will find out Anita I am a mother hen so please don't misunderstand and take it for being bossy.....Better go for now, I have to finish cleaning house before the Gator game comes on.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2000 Report Share Posted November 18, 2000 Hi Genny, YOU have senior moments---at 47?? He, he, he. You are not being nosey, I'm 60, think I'm 25, act 40. AND I am the one who has the senior moments!! I thought Jodi was about 8 or 9 yrs. I was going to a Gastroentrologist, never thought about any other. He is very good, and I'll be able to see him again in 2001. Yes, I have autoimmune hepatitis. So many of us put up such a stink, that the HMO is going back to the way they used to run things, which means the old Dr.s, the Hospitals they ruled out, etc. I started taking Alfalfa tablets every day, besides the other Vit. for immune difficency, and the pain is going away. So think I can hold off till I can get back to my gastro Dr. Since I've been on the list, though I'm going to ask about a hepatologist (spelling?). I'm doing the genealogy of my family, including a medical genealogy, and there is no autoimmune disease on either side of my family, mother or father. Nothing like being the odd ball! He, hee. Well, have to get supper. Don't forget to take care of yourself!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes you can forget to do that. Anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2000 Report Share Posted November 18, 2000 Yes, sometimes I think the senior moments are turning into senior hours. LOL You know the funny thing is the doctors tell us autoimmune diseases don't run in families but my mother has Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) which is also an autoimmune disease. This also causes platelet problems, hers got down to 32,000 and the norm is around 200,000. She too is on Prednisone for the second time this year. When her oncologist decreases her Pred. until she is off then her platelets drop again. This causes bleeding problems big time...........Yes, I would ask about a hepatologist for sure. Your not on any meds for AIH? When were you diagnosed? Well, have to go the Gator game is about to come on. GO GATORS Keep me posted.

You'll still be in a bit of shock since your liver biopsy and dx AIH.You're under a liver specialist's care? Your GP would have been given instructions by this specialist. Since starting prednisone you will be having weekly blood tests to monitor the hepatitis, once inflammation is down or controlled you will be put onto another drug (Imuran or Mercaptopurine, or the like) as maintenance. Steroids can make you hyperactive,insomniac,cause pain or fatigue in muscles,stimulate your appetite that you feel you want to eat a horse, eat mountains of sugar - but the good news is once you're weaned down or off you will feel normal again. Hang in there. Another thing, I always got copies of every report (bloods,biopsy,scans) so I could map for myself my progress and to keep doctor honest. Ask your GP straight, if he or she has or had other AIH patients, its quite important that they have knowledge, unfortunately a lot havent and that " bland smile " when asking them a question, usually indicates that they havent a clue what your talking about. We've all been there and experienced it. Mostly AIH has made me very assertive with medical people (from a pipsqueak to a roaring mouse). If you belong to one of those NHS revolving practices where you dont know what doctor you're seeing today, you may need to speak to the chief doctor and get just one assigned to you " for continuity of care " . Book appts six months down the track as you have to wait so long for appt (I've experienced that in England myself) - I saw my own GP weekly/fortnightly for months for monitoring and please dont feel guilty or bad about " wasting their time " , its your body and your life. > > Sorry this is so long, I could go on and on. > Regards Jan > > hi jan, i went to see my doctor today and got the usual (very interesting) but at least he is aware of the problem. he still hasnt heard from the hospital which doesnt surprise either of us. but he has said that if at any time i want to see him, then just let him know and he will fit me in to his surgery as soon as possible. we arent allowed to see or be told the results of blood test etc. unless we pay. sadly i cant afford to pay, so i think i have a fight on m,y hands. but i think, if i ask this particular doctor he will give me the info i want. wish me luck, i am back at the hospital in 2 weeks love n stuff anita __________________________________________________________________________ Freeserve AnyTime - Go online whenever you want for just £6.99 a month for your first 3 months, that's HALF PRICE!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Anita - You sound full of woes. Glad youve got your central heating going as the weather is turning colder in UK so I hear. Here in NZ its in the middle of the night. My husband is working nightshift and Im still recovering from my bag of peanuts. My dog is snoring his head off and there's a possum scrambling over our iron roof again. I dont know why possums get up on the roof but what a din they make. I surprised your local Council doesnt step in and help you out with your garden given you are unwell. Late this afternoon my husband replaced our TV aerial on the chimney. I sort of steadied the ladder for him whilst he screwed or bolted the new one on. Great, I looked up as he was climbing down and couldnt believe what I was seeing, I burst out laughing and rolled around on the ground in hysterics. He got down and looked a bit miffed as he couldnt understand what I was laughing at. I didnt say a word until he went to move the ladder away from the house.. he couldnt because he bolted the aerial thru the top rung of the ladder. So he had to do it all again!!

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Hi brenda, i hate shoes and socks aswell, never wear them unless i have no choice, my husband calls me granny clampit. As for the nickname, my friends call me that because i am a psychic medium and am always giving them messages. also my daughter says she is a witch in training, we watch too much sabrina. she is convinced that i have special powers like sabrina, comes in handy sometimes. I know that when they call me the witch they mean a " white witch " at least i hope thats what they mean. i have been a medium since having my son, daniel, 17 and a half years ago. i now know that i was psychic all my life but just never thought about it. I always know when the phone will ring and who it is, and where ever i am i seem to send electrical things into total chaos. i went thro 8 washing machines one year, luckily they were under guarantee so i never had to pay for replacements. anyway, thats enough about me, where exactly do you live? love the witch > > From: MITSMEMYERS@... > Date: Wed 01/Jan/2003 17:47 GMT > > Subject: [ ] Anita > > Thanks for writing back to me.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 some people believe that animals go to another heaven, but i dont. i know they go to the best place where they are looked after by other souls. i know my dog, meg, is happy as i have seen her. i know that if a pet dies, then its owner still looks after it. but all this happens when we are asleep, some remember, some dont. yes, of course we can communicate with them, i have done many readings where animals have come through, sometimes just to sit and let the person know that they are still with them. i love what i do, i see people i have never met before come to see me in tears, and go home happy. i never ask a client for any information, quite the opposite, i tell then to talk tl me as spirit communicate on voice vibrations, but if we talk i just talk about everyday things, gardening, price of shoes past holidays etc. it is very possible that you to have a gift, i believe that most of us do, its weather we choose to use it or not. i didnt believe in any of it until i started doing it, nearly gave myself a heart attack when i did my first communication, i just wasnt expecting it. i know you love animals, i do know that smudge is still with you. but can i also ask who the little black cat is or was. tended to have a split personality, mad one minute and very quiet the next. also, who was the one that slept on your shoulder. >I would love to hear about your smudge and his communicating. hear from you soon i hope, from a witch to a definate witch in training. we (spirit and me) will get you there if thats what you want. you have the choice love and prayers the witch > From: " lisa m skowron " <lsmaxfax@...> > Date: Wed 01/Jan/2003 20:07 GMT > < > > Subject: RE: [ ] Anita > > Dear Anita, > > Very interesting! > > What do you think happens to animal's souls when your pet crosses the > rainbow bridge?

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Dear Anita, Oh my!!!! I am sitting here in shock right now!!! Anita, how could you possibly have known about Lil' Black?!!! She was Smudge's companion. When Smudge passed away Sept 6, 2000, she went into a state of shock for months. The vet couldn't help her and she wouldn't even look at me anymore. She went into an unexplained coma and died July 5th, 2001. She was a small black girl cat. She would get mad one minute, quiet the next and then howl all by herself in the darkest corner of the room. I couldn't console her sometimes. Smudge would always run to her aid. He did sleep by my head at night always watching me, leaping over me when I turned over. He was a huge beautiful white cat and she was a small shiny black cat. They were so close they had to be with each other at all times. One more thing, while I was caring for Lil' Black that July 2001, (she wouldn't eat anymore and was quite sick, but recovering) the downstairs door began banging all by itself. Sounded like the noise Smudge made when he was trying to open a door. I was terrified and called animal control. My dad and I were puzzled when he said there was never an animal in there and he even somberly said, " You have a ghost " . I said " yes " very calmly. I knew what it really was already. Then two days later Lil' Black went into her coma. I think he was calling her to be with him. Five weeks later, early in the morning, I heard them tussling in the living room! They were happy, but I couldn't see them. I felt a sense of relief. I see Smudge in my dreams, but not nearly so much now. He always appeared sitting away from me, sideways looking at me with such a sad, concerned expression. Sometimes the dreams show him in a despondant living situation, and old rambling run down home with lots of other cats, all dirty. What do I make of this! I never see Lil' Black. Does she have anything to tell me. How are they doing? Tell her I'm sorry I couldn't always hold her but the doctor told me to not hold her as I was recovering from an asthma attack. It's not that I didn't want to hold her. I guess I can't help it but I'm crying right now, I need to. It feels good to cry. Thanks so much! [ ] Anita > > > > Thanks for writing back to me.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 .... you are right what do men know....the DOGS.... Listen I try not wear shoes and I don't wear underwear either if I can get away with it. And the snakes be damned! love jerry What do men know! I like to go without shoes too.....always had to wear them growing up because we lived in the country and there were too many snakes...oh well... Now, the shoes are off as soon as the body gets through the door! Have a great New Year! Debby [ ] Anita Thanks for writing back to me. I was wondering how you came bythe moniker of "the witch" Is it because of your birthday, are you good at spells or is it the mood swings from the prednisone? I am a hillbilly because I won't wear shoes unless I absolutely have to. I really hate socks I feel like my feet can't breath and then I pass out{really}.My husband says I can't be a true hillbilly because I am a yankee transplant but what do men know. {sorry Jerry didn't mean you}.I am always interested in the history behind nicknames so will be looking forward TO your story. the WV hillbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 sometimes crying is better medicine that laughing....what a touching story. Of course we men NEVER cry but then what do we know... I'm glad you had such a wonderful pair of pets in your life. One of our missions from God is to watch over and take care of HIs beatiful animals...many humans fail this mission Excuse me while I wipe this sweat from my brow its getting in my eyes. love jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Oh, that's sweet~ Thanks Jerry! I can't get over how Anita knew that there was another cat, what she looked like and even her personality!! Anita, you're incredible! I'm getting e-mails from people who knew them both and they can't believe it either. RE: RE: [ ] Anita sometimes crying is better medicine that laughing....what a touching story.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 Hi lisa, i really enjoyed your email, i feel very priveledged to have you share that with me. as far as lil black, a picture just came into my mind while i was reading your letter and i had to ask who this cat was. as well as seeing her she made sure i knew she was there by just taking over my thoughts. when i do a reading and someone or some animal comes through, i will not give up until i have personal details that only the person i am doing the reading for would know about, otherwise i could be talking to anyone. sometimes its just a little thing, one day, a few years ago, a little old lady booked a reading. i didnt know her, didnt even know her name. anyway as soon as she arrived i had to start work. the 1st thing i said to her was that i had to give her a ruby from someone in spirit, now i new it wasnt the colour or the name, so i gave this to the lady just as i received it. at that she got up, thanked me, went to pay and leave. i was a bit unhappy about this as she was only with me 10 mins.so i asked her to please tell me what i had done wrong, nothing, she said, but today would have been my husband a my ruby wedding and i just needed to know he was still with me: at that i refused her money and she left, happy, i just sat and cried, i felt so good for this lady, she left me a very happy and contented soul. lil black already knows why you couldnt hold her and asks me to tell you that it wasnt a problem, even tho you couldnt hold her, you were there with her. as for the dreams, i think they are as they are because you feel guilty about lil black. they arent living like that they are in heaven chasing dogs, birds and just having fun with none of the restrictions that there mortal body gave them. your knowing this should ut an end to that particular dream. and yes, it was smudge you heard banging on the door. he was just coming for lil black, perfectly normal as no person or animal crosses over alone. dont worry if you cant see them, they are still with you, thats why you heard them playing, it was to let you know they were together and happy. hope all this helps.please remeber that i will answer anyones questions that they might wish to ask, but i do not guarantee an answer. i am mearly the middle man, passing messages to and fro. I have never been religious, quite the opposit. but now i do believe in a god and spirits. i knlw that they will help and guide me if i let them, but i tend to be very independant and do my own thing. i soon regret that tho. spirit are always right, just that i dont always listen. when i talk to them i talk as if having a conversation with someone. if i swear, they swear back. but i could not have got through the last 10 years without my faith. it has been a terrible 10 years. the worst ever. the only good things were meeting my husband and having my daughter. when i go to slep i always send healing prayers to everyone, i dont know if it works, but i still do it. anyway, enough for now, you dont want to hear my life story. just one last thing, please talk to lilblack and smudge just as if you can see them, they like that because now they can understand the words, whereas before, they knew through feelings and the tone of your voice, they both send there love. animals dont actually speak to me, thay ask another spirit to speak on there behalf, they tell me they are with a little girl. love and prayers anita hope to hear from you soon > > From: " lisa m skowron " <lsmaxfax@...> > Date: Thu 02/Jan/2003 00:14 GMT > < > > Subject: RE: RE: [ ] Anita > > > Dear Anita, > > Oh my!!!! > > I am sitting here in shock right now!!! > > Anita, how could you possibly have known about Lil' Black?!!! > > She was Smudge's companion.
