hi my son is allergic to animal protien, he breaks out in a horrible

rash and can't breath, poops liquid, and is general very bitchy if he

get some. relatives always used to try to test if he really was by

slipping some in his food. they thought we were just saying that as we

are all vegan.

he is fine and is taller and stronger than all his peers.

hi

My name is samantha and have just joined the group.

I have been on the diet for about 3 months. The first month and a

half were easy but things are getting hard. Like many others i have

a busy work life and find the only foods available are wheat based.

I also miss ice cream and sweet foods in general.

I'm assuming others have been through this and would therefore

appreciate some advice and guidance.

I would also like to know if anyone in the UK has come across essene

bread because nobody i know has!?

Thanks

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Welcome to the group. If you can keep to the diet you might find the

craving for sweet foods will disappear as your tastes change.

I too have never seen essene bread here in the UK... but a quick search on

the internet found this web site http://www.cantost.com/uk2shop-8.htm don't

know anything about it but might be worth looking at...

>Hi a,

Welcom to .. it's a great placeto gather information and get

support.

Your family sounds similar to ours..My mother had the Nucleus

implanted 11 years ago and while she does well, 2 of my sisters and I

have all been implanted since Oct. 2001. the changes in the

technology are amazing. We have so many more options and speech

strategies available to us than mom did.

I went from 5% hearing to 96% sentence recognition after my implant.

Where are you from?

Whatever questions you may have, please feel free to ask them.

Just curious, what kind of implant do your other family members have?

Looking forward to hearing more from you and with your family

history, I think you will do wonderfully with an implant.

Hi Sillygirl

I am from Kentucky and I'm not really sure exactly what kind of

implants the other family members had, I'll have to find out. Thanks

for replying so soon. I don't really have any questions right now

that I can think of, maybe later I will once I find out more. I'm

so glad to find a group of other people who are also hard of hearing

and know what it's like to go through the things we go through!

Talk to you later.

Shawa,

Just read your post and I was SHOCKLY! Because you are from

Kentucky, then I AM FROM KENTUCKY TOO! Thank God, I found a twin in

my home state. LOL. I have implanted at University of Kentucky Clinic

in Lexington. I live in Harlan County... I do have Nucleus 22 ESPrit

22 BTE and long time ago in 1994, I have been implanted in 1994 when

I was 4 years old, I have implanted a Nucleus 22 cochlear implant and

recieve a Spectra body-worn processor. On Feb. 18th, 2003, I have

upgrade to ESPrit 22 BTE and it is wonderful, and yes, FREEDOM! Thank

God, No long wires.. Believe it or not, when I was down to pick

something up from the floor, my BWP always got out of my tee-shirt

pocket and the long wire was disconnected from the headset (had

microphone) and it hurts my right ear! When I have BTE, it is

comformable, and also, it helps me making alot of new friends

starting to communicate with me at school. Yes I am 13 years old,

atrending public school with a interpreter (ASL and SEE cerficated

and licnesed, lives in Harlan too). Really soon, I will recieve a new

ESPrit 3G for Nucleus 22 wearers because I am on the waiting list to

get it, just trade ESPrit 22 to 3G just for $750 dollars.

Hi! I just found this group today on About.com I am 23 years old

and have been wearing hearing aids for about 11 years now. I am

interested in the Implant because I have had two members of my

family have the surgery. One was really recent so we're still

waiting to see how that went. The other member had the surgery

several years ago. He was pretty much deaf beforehand but now can

hear about as well as a normal hearing person can. I am interested

in finding out more about the procedure and talking to others who

have had it done to see if it really does work. TTYL.

Hi a,

How nice to see you here on CI Hear. I'm glad you

joined us to learn about our group and we are here to

provide answers that you may be looking for. It's

interesting that you already have family members who

have gone before you. Feel free to introduce them to

this list as they are welcome too.

There is no doubt that this procedure works. Tell us

a little more about yourself and your hearing history.

Have you been to a CI Center for evaluation?

We'll look forward to hearing more from you very soon.

Hi Alice

Im glad I found this group also! : ) I can't introduce the other

family members because they don't have internet access. I have not

been to a CI Center for evaluation yet. I would like to try to look

into the procedure more someday, but right now isn't a good time. I

will tell more about it later when I have more time... right now I

gotta get ready for work! TTYL

Mike,

Curious as to why you didn't go back to the Celexa?

Pik

[Guest guest]

Hi Pik. That's the same question my new pdoc asked. At the time I was

prescribed the Paxil CR I had just recently begun experiencing panic attacks.

I wasn't having them when I first took Celexa. The doctor at the time said she

thought the paxil cr would be better for the anxiety and panic attacks. To be

honest, it seems like alot of the Drs. will prescribe whatever is being pushed

on them most by the pharm. sales reps at the time.

[Guest guest]

Celexa actually isn't approved for panic attacks. Although the

chemical make up reacts better for the serotonin surge during a

panic attack. As a anxiety/panic disorder sufferer I was also on

Paxil, for almost 3 yrs. It worked wonderfully for the panic

attacks. In fact, I haven't had one since starting paxil and that

was over 4 yrs ago. Paxil is more of a " governer " where panic

attacks are concerned. It takes control of them and helps to teach

you how to control them, if you let it. Celexa and Lexapro has work

well on the anxiety part for me. But the biggest plus of all is the

lack of side effects. Paxil is high on the side effects for me.

Celexa didn't quite work right and Lex has been PERFECT, once

finding the right dose that is.

Hi,

I have been on Lexapro for a few weeks and have not noticed any

itching.

I wear a sunscreen faithfully, and was wondering if you do?

You really should wear one if you don't, as sometimes certain meds

cause a photosensitivity.

I would also check with your doctor.

Let me know how you do.

Longell

[Guest guest]

I would definitely ask your doctor about it. I bet that it does have

to do with the Lex. I know when I first went on, I had something

like that (it was not so much itching as a " crawling feeling " in my

skin) luckily, it went away and was not terrible while it was there.

Call the doc and hang in there. If Lex is the right drug for you,

it's a miracle.

So far, after 2 1/2 weeks, I haven't had any other problems. But I'm

itching like crazy. I have no rash, no bumps, no hives, or

anything. And I don't suffer from allergies. Just itching. I've

tried non-itch sprays, creams, powders, etc. Tonight I'm going to

try Benydrel to see if that helps.

Thanks for the input. If it doesn't go away, then I'll have to try

something else.

My first two weeks or so on lex seemed to be an improvement, but

then I experienced a mood " slump " . My doc said this was common, and

usually, the mood goes back up. It has gone back up for me. The

slump only lasted about a week (and coincided with my usual PMS

time, interestingly enough).

I hope you bounce back from the slump as well. I know it's

discouraging; hang in there.
