I know it is small compared to other

Thanks for listening!!!!!!

Gloria. Not a small thing at all. I'm very happy for you both! It is wonderful that a sensitive child can glory in the joy of smearing peanut butter all over himself! : )

I'm very happy for you and Bradley and the PB. We take so many things in life

for granted that to stop and appreciate the miracle of each action is often

lost. How wonderful for you to capture those moments with Bradley. Every

action is a triumph. Be proud of yourself and Bradley.

Hi Gloria,

I wanted to say that I know exactly how you feel. Last night

at the table, 's brother (Ari 6.8) began to speak while was trying

to say something, so she looked at Ari and said in a loud and affirmative

tone " Shut up Ari, Shut up " . We were so excited and overjoyed at her using

that phrase - we forgot to explain to her that it was inappropriate to use

at the table and to her family members. We just thought it was golden -

just like you did.

Here is some background from one of my previous posts that will tell you why

this is so exciting .

" I am a mother of a beautiful 5-year-old girl, . Since the time she was

about 11 mo old - I had a feeling that something was wrong with fine motor,

gross motor and of course speech. Through the past 4 years, I have gone to

numerous neurologists, best in the field, I must add. We have gone non-stop to

therapy with , but the progress was painfully slow. did not speak

- making it nearly

impossible for us to communicate with her. Everyday at night I would kiss

, and standing over her head I would say, " please start talking tomorrow "

- subliminal messages - hoping they'd work.

To no avail, my child was just not talking. Therapy helped, but

progress was limited. I don't want to continue with this sub-story,

as you probably all understand the fear and frustration in parents

and the child as well.

Gloria -

Congratulations on your sons success. It's the little things in life that

keep us going.

I used to have to physically hold my son down to get a haircut. I would let

his hair grow much longer than I'd like just because I couldn't stand the

thought of another haircut episode. After being on Efalex for about 6 weeks

I took him to get his haircut and he sat in the chair and let her just cut

his hair. I nearly cried watching him while the hairdresser is trying to

tell me he's just finally getting used to getting a haircut. If she only

knew just how incredible it really was.

Best of luck on your son's continued progress.

How wonderful for you. The sound of your child saying " Momma " has got to be the

sweetest sound in the world. Good for you and your family. Keep us posted.

Hi all -

I don't post very frequently, but I wanted to share my experience

with LDN. I have been taking it for 2-3 of weeks now. I noticed

IMMEDIATE improvement with spasticity in my lower back and legs

after the first dose. A family member commented that it was " like a

miracle " . Since then, there has been no other change, which is fine

by me. Now, with the reduced spasticity, I am able to get to the

gym and am working on regaining some strength and weight.

I also wanted to comment on the few posts about dreams where people

did not have MS in their dreams. This is a great thing! Call me

crazy if you would like [most do anyway], but I truly believe that

we can do a lot of healing with our minds through visualization,

meditation, and spiritual workings. I would encourage you to work

with these dreams and visualize yourself in perfect health. I do

this everyday and I think it is helping as well.

For those who posted that they have yet to realize a response, I

would suggest you stick with it for some time before throwing in the

towel, as I seriously doubt it will harm you and the potential

benefits are just to great to ignore. Okay, that's my pep talk for

the day! LOL.

Dear,

We're alway glad to hear we've reached another woman.

I'm sure far too many women are among the walking

wounded without a clue!

I hope you will stick around for a while. You may need

some help getting started detoxing. Some women do

really well immediately. Others need to work at it!

Be sure the doctor you select does en bloc removal -

he/she may drain the implants first with a needle. But

the capsule needs to be removed with the implant still

inside to prevent spilling the contents into your

chest cavity. Also . . . the doctor should use drains.

Be sure to drink plenty of water before and after

surgery to flush as many toxins loosed by explant as

quickly as possible!

And, please help spread the word! It's obvious the

doctors are not going to!

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene

Congrats on coming out of denial! Know how hard that is, but once

you see all these women's stories, it's pretty hard to stay in

denial! Everyone here is SO helpful. I was scheduled to see Dr.

Melmed, also, but I'm too sick presently to make that long trip. In

my opinion, you've picked a Great Dr. to see. I will be going next

week to see Dr. Kolb, alot closer so I can make the trip. Keep us

posted on your progress.

Good luck with everything, Cheryl

[Guest guest]

Melmed, from what I've heard from many who have gone to him, is an excellent doctor and very much aware of our illnesses associated with implants. he has been in the news before, and there are articles on the internet about him too. I have links in our links section.

I am sure you will be in good hands, but please do stress to him that you want a total capsulectomy...no exceptions! and drains...to get rid of all the gunk out of your body that may be associated with them.

Take care,

welcome!! we look forward to hearing more from you....

make sure you check into all the explant info available so that you have a proper removal...don't assume all the plastic surgeons know how to correctly remove your implants with your health in mind. Most of them are pretty oblivious to the pain and suffering we've endured.

Let us know if we can help!

Thanks for helping me to get out of denial and into reality. My saline implants have been in for 5 years, and I had no idea...no idea...all the info....still shocked...contacted a PS...will consult and explant...thanks for saving my health...didn't know what was going on...did anyone else have the thought of wanting to rip the implants out immediately after implant surgery? It was such a lonely, horrible time...I'm pursuing the real me now...thanks...
