Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Nick are you guys moving to seattle? Stress Hey all, boy, this week has been tremendously stressful - we're moving, we're selling our house, I'm still recovering - for me. I've found my self falling off the bandwagon (so to speak) a bit. Usually not when around the other 1/2 but when on my own - I find myself not stopping right when I feel full. I don't know why really. An old habit perhaps. Any suggestions for how to deal with stress when it's blustery outside and you can't do the gym thing (cuz you're moving)... Thanks, I hope everyone is doing well!

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Jan, sorry to hear about your accident! I was in a snow-related accident a couple weeks ago, followed three days later by hitting a deer in the same car! (Been driving in this state for almost 20 years and NEVER had a snow-related accident OR a deer-hit, and then I get both in three days! ARGH!) I suggest some meditation, prayer, massage therapy, aromatherapy, or anything you can do to try to release your stress (for me it's reading, too -- I love to read.) I hope things ease up on you soon!Debbi in Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 , I've only ever had "spasm pain" NCCPs or the "something's stuck and I'm trying to push it down" pains. But sometimes a spasm pain will manifest in different ways..... in my mouth/tongue, in my shoulder, in my ribs, behind my sternum, or up my throat. One of my first symptoms was a feeling of pressure on my "Adam's apple" area -- I think it's still there but I'm just used to it, but I still can't wear any shirt that actually touches the front of my neck (turtlenecks are totally out of the question.) I hope that feeling goes away soon!Debbi Has anyone ever been so stressed that you feel like your esophagus is hurting the way you get stomach pains when you're upset? I don't know if it's in my head, but I've been upset/stressed for about 24 hours and now I feel like I'm getting esophagus pains (as opposed to stomach pains). It's not a spasm though, it feels different. Anyway, just wanted to know if anyone else ever experienced anything like that. I guess I can coin the phrase..."sick to my esophagus."

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Maybe it is a spasm just in a way that I've never felt it before.. It's a twinge or sick feeling in the center of my chest. I'm sure it's stress related. I also get it in the mouth and jaw. That's usually where I feel it first and gives me the signal that one is coming.

I guess it's TMJ...not very comfortable.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Hi! I am sick to my esophagus to. I feel like I always have to think about it. I hate deciding what to eat. I have had surgery and a dilation and my GI wants a motility study. He also put me on Bentyl and it has helped. Mine does work sometime. I am not near as bad as some.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hi Pat, I had to cut down to part-time - the fatigue was just too much. I was dozing while driving to/from work and knew I had to change that fairly quickly. It has made an immense change as I no longer come home and go straight to bed. I'm still very tired, but am able to do light chores, or go out to dinner instead. I work 30 hours per week and that many only due to needing medical insurance. My doctors want me to quit altogether, but being single and having no other income or insurance to rely on, that's impossible. I find it ridiculous that even though you qualify for SSDI, you cannot get Medicare for 2 years - makes no sense to me at all. If I quit and attempted to live off SSDI alone, I would no longer be able to afford medical insurance, nor my medications. My medications alone cost more than what SSDI would give me monthly. Good luck, Sandy C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Welcome Pat. Lucky you to be able to retire in July!!! I have 3 more years before I feel able to retire, although sometimes I think it might be sooner...however, each day brings a new adventure... Stress can cause fatigue, but so can the medication. Give yourself time to adjust. If there is any chance in retiring early go for it...at least I would! Debby [ ] Stress I am newly diagnosed with AIH and taking 30 mg Pred. per day. My job is unbelievable stressful, and before my diagnosis I was planning to retire in July. To keep up with the job responsibilities, I work 45 to 55 hours per week and am often very fatigued. I would like to hear from other people if they have recovered more quickly when they have tried to minimize stress in their lives. If minimizing stress is helpful, I would consider retiring a couple of months early. I am curious if many people changed or cut down on their employment and if these efforts were helpful. Thanks so much. This web sight is a God Send!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 If stress can cause the disease to start, I am the exception! I was enjoying life to the fullest with no worries and few problems when (and for a considerable time before) I was diagnosed. However, I DO know that stress can do strange things to us and that its effects are manifested in different people in different ways. Having a positive attitude never hurts! Bettie Jane Grant, Tallahassee Stress Hi Folks - I give " being stressed out " a whole new dimension!!! Lately I have been hearing a lot about whether or not such a situation affects our CLL/SLL status. I fervently HOPE not, as I should be dead by now. But I'd be most pleased (and a little worried) about hearing some opinions about whether or not being a nutsy person, worrying about everything, might have an impact on starting the disease, or continuing it. The medical professionals are still out on this one. At least, I have not heard a definitive opinion. What do you think? Maybe we can introduce this onto the topics at the LRF in October.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 To all- I firmly believe that, at least in my case, stress was the underlying factor for the explosion of my disease. Would I have gotten it sooner or later anyway? Yes - absolutely. But I believe it was lingering in there ready for a break down in my system to let loose. 9-11 occurred,my oldest son met with some rather serious circumstances two days later, my mom, who was then in critical terminal condition,died by February proceeded by my stepfather telling me that he no longer wanted to be a part of our family after 30 years as my " dad " . The lumps on my neck surfaced sometime between October and November and progressed rather rapidly after my diagnosis in December a year later. Thankfully, its now under control, but I try to remain calmer about things, taking one day at a time, and stopping to smell the roses. Just my story, but to me, obviously stress induced cancer.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Bonnie, I fully connect with your mail, even my 'case situation' was of a different nature nevertheless I had tremendous stress over the time and you express it clear and well, how the underlying factor was there. " stress was the underlying factor for the explosion of my disease. Would I have gotten it sooner or later anyway? Yes - absolutely. But I believe it was lingering in there ready for a break down in my system to let loose. " , I do not think worrying and stress are the same thing, although I know that excessive worrying can cause stress. I have worried about things during my life time, but never was stressed by the worries, simply sorted out things so that the worries were no longer there. Stress comes suddenly due to unexpected circumstances just being dropped on top of you, some of them might have a solution and you are able to deal with them and stop the stressful situation, but others the problem has not got a simple solution and the stress factor stays until it gets sorted. It is said that divorce and moving house are the most stressful things in life, according to the experts. However I moved house across continents 14 times in 17 years at one time, and I do not remember being stressed by it, I simply got very organized and dealt with each move in a simple manner. My divorce was also very smooth and amicable, the level of stress was not what I consider large. Yet the legal matter, over my building etc. was extremely stressful even I knew I was on my rights, the constant bulling and pressing over " a prescriptive right of way " on something very important for me, brought up stress levels I was no aware could exist, feeling inside a deep hole with no way out. The amount of work I did consulting legal experts and professionals in case we had to go to Court, etc. was something I could have done without at that time in my business life. So like Bonnie, even I might still got CLL, those two to three years prior to dx were more stressful than I think my body could cope with. I think if one worries about something, it is best to deal with the solution so that the worry does not become a stress factor in ones life. But we can not do this on unexpected things, like Bonnie describes, those type of stresses come from the outside and one does not have any influence or possibility to stop them before they happen. So dealing with that type of stress requires more skill and outside help. Stopping to smell roses and such things that gives us pleasure, helps tremendously in the managing of stress. But there is a lot more that can also help dealing with it. Thanks for being there, support has always helped and it feels good when you are on the receiving end of the support.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 To add my two cents, I also believe that stress played a part in the onset of my disease. My two young step kids moved in full time, my mother was diagnosed with SLL and lung cancer, then was hit by a kid on a bike and I had to run between the two houses, then my college aged son came home with a heroin addiction. I had been diagnosed with some sort on inflamatory arthritis and was scheduled to have a knee replacement two days after my mom passed, but it was cancelled because the doctor was suspecious that something else (SLL) was going on. That was last year and it was progressing very slowly. Last September my husband moved out of the house blaming my son (but was really having an affair) He is back home now but I feel like the nodes in my neck are bigger. I'll see July 8th when I go in for my next dr. apt. Right now I am meditating and doing accupuncture hoping it will help. >>> bonniegoodhart@... 06/12/05 6:57 PM >>> To all- I firmly believe that, at least in my case, stress was the underlying factor for the explosion of my disease.

Nothing has helped as > much as this diet but I have flare-ups I'm not sure how best to handle. > Thank you for listening and I'm appreciative of any help you may offer. May I suggest you combine the anti-inflammatory diet of Dr Perricone MD - in his book " The Perricone Prescription " - with the BTD diet. This helped me a lot - along with *drastic* reduction of carbohydrates (aim for zero) and increase of protein, extra virgin olive oil and fish oil instead. I did this myself - because I have stress-hormone producing carcinoid tumours (they push my cortisol levels to 32 times the upper normal limit) and everything I can do to reduce the stress is relevant. Also consider beginning yoga and listen to what your body wants and do only that - yoga will de-stress very well used this way. The spinal twists for example, get my back from solid pain to flexible. BUT you must warm up properly and do the moves in the right order, not just go do a twist by itself. I do: 5 mins: Sit and concentrate on deep breathing in and out. Still sitting, raise arms and bend to right and then to left alternately....VERY SLOWLY, a few breaths each side. Still sitting bend forward and back pretending you are holding a ball - still moving very slowly with a couple breaths forward and a couple breaths leaning back. All this is to slowly awaken the back muscle area. Sit with knees bent and feet apart. Hold hands together and point forward - move forward as far as you can stretching arms out in front, then go slowly back till you can roll your back a tad bit downwards if you can then back up still slowly, to sitting, repeat a few times. Now go on hands and knees, do " cat and cow " , alternately slowly - cat is looking down tucking in chin and curving your back up towards the roof like a cat and breathing out - and cow is arching back down towards the floor and lifting head up and breathing in. alternate a few times. NOW you are ready for spinal twists. Sit up straight on floor or in chair. Keeping hips level twist to the right slowly and as far as you can, don't go too far, it's not a competition - taking a few breaths on the way, trying to twist a little more with each out-breath, and trying to look over your shoulder far as possible. Slowly. Slowly return to center. Repeat other side. Repeat each side again - doing about 7 breaths each side each time. Maybe you have different issues but for me I can hardly move my back or arms or neck when I wake, and this gets me okay. Namaste, Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc AASCA MCSSA D.I.Hom.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Have you tried meditation ? That can help a lot with stress and help you to be centred and focused in all areas and not just the over-riding one of the moment - even if I can't fit in any meditation, just listening to meditation music or stopping and spacing out just for 5mins helps. good luck, hope things go better than expected for your family member and they are fully better a.s.a.p. ) http://www.freewebs.com/inspire/ http://www.freewebs.com/amiva/ - dogs!

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I want to thank everyone for their help and am taking all suggestions seriously and saving the emails. The yoga stretches are helping with the stiffness and soreness and I've started taking Bromelain. Will have to wait until next payday to make another trip to the health store. I picked up some meditation music from the library but their choices were limited. I've recently been trying classical music listed as soothing or calming and some nature sounds. The ocean waves one helps me sleep. Are there any titles you recommend? I can order them from the library first to see if I like them. Thanks for the kind wishes, is doing much better than expected and they are going to transfer him to a nursing facility for rehab tomorrow. They are optimistic that the original estimate of at least 3 months in a nursing home will be greatly reduced to a matter of weeks though it's still unclear if he'll ever walk again. We are hopeful though. Later, janetlee Be kind to dragons, for thou art crunchy when roasted and taste good with ketchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 It’s impossible to get rid of all stress and difficult to learn to keep it to a minimum. Try to separate things into “things I can control” and “things I can’t control”. Then you have to work really hard to focus on the things you CAN control and not the things you can’t. When you have a lot of things that concern you, like you do now, you have to take them one at a time. For instance, your step dad: The immediate problem is a pulled muscle. That will heal, nothing for you to worry about. There’s a mass on his lungs—it is whatever it is, and you don’t know what that is yet, so don’t worry about that until they determine what the mass is. Sometimes you just have to divorce yourself from other people’s problems and not let them become yours. That doesn’t mean you don’t care, it just means you don’t take it all on yourself. Try baby steps first. We women tend to be control freaks and take on way too much.

Can some one tell me how?? For the most part I do ok and dont let things get too me. But lately it is impossible to NOT be stressed. Every since mom got home from the hospital the second time nothing seems to be going right. She stays depressed because she cant get her strength and energy back. I can understand that myself. But other things are adding to all the stress. Last night my step-dad went to the ER with chest pain. Luckly it is a pulled muscle BUT, they found a mass on his lungs. Plus my cousins wife died. She was ill for a little bit. She was going thru intensive chemo for cancer that had taken over her body. She turned 29 Friday. And today is her anniversary with my cousin. They have 3 girls the oldest one is only 12. This is part of life I know. But it is what is stressing me. Im having alot of trouble sleeping as well, so that adds to all the pressure. The kids get on every last nerve. lol I love them so much. Im getting in a dont touch me mood again. so I have to pretend it dont bother me to have them sitting on me or sitting with me even. And trust me I truly love our cuddle time.GRRR ok well I vented. Sorry to you all. d dannella __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 I have always taken other peoples problems as my own. I try to help others have the happy feeling I am looking for myself. The safe well loved feeling that I felt when my dad was sober(as a child). My step-dad lost his first wife to cancer. So I feel his tension. I go thru phases where I can push things away. But then I feel like Im shut down emotionally. So the pressure builds til Im where Im at now.. lol ok thanks De d Motley <dmotley@...> wrote: It’s impossible to get rid of all stress and difficult to learn to keep it to a minimum.
