Brain fog

March 1, 2004

Debby,

I did the same thing the other day. It was the week after I had moved. I had not slept well and was extremely tired and to the point of exhaustion (Teary eyed and all that). I went to the post office I use to go to every day and was talking on the cell phone with my sister and realized I didn't know where I was. I just stopped and cried. She said put the phone down, get yourself together and do not drive any further until you stop crying. Boy was she right. I was a basket case. It is frightening. Then I went through the who's going to take care of me when I can't thing. Being a single Mom of 2 kids 25 (Married and still in school, Dental School) and a 19 year old son, this is a big concern of mine. I have a large supportive family and know that they will all help but I some times feel such a burden to them. They all have their own families and didn't sign up for me too.

I stop all this pity stuff and just thank God that I have them. So many people do not have this support.

Enough said. It is frightening. I just hang in there and keep hearing Cheryl and Randy tell me that after the transplant the fogginess goes away and when you see Randy return to a life that is so full and productive you have to know that it's true.

Hang in there. Lost and driving around and around the post office here in Virginia.

Hi Debby:

Yes, that is a very scary thought.... Are you taking lactose? Cliff has been foggy brained, too. It is so scary-- he rambles on alot. And , we both get stressed alot. He is doing much better, as he is taking the lactose more often. He said, "that he has been realizing this, but, didn't want to tell anyone. He seemed like he was intoxicated.

I am glad that he is back to normal.

Hope you are feeling better these days. Take care.

Yes, it is a scary thought... Yes, we need to keep thinking of all the good things Cheryl tells us. What an inspiration she is, and Randy!!!!!

Yes, you are lucky you have supportive family with you. And , we need to think of the good afterwards. Waiting is the worse part.

Cliff has sister in Florida, don't hear from her much- although, she has written twice. Cliff's brother isn't much support. All my family lives in other states. But, they are as supprtive as they can be.

The group is a huge support for me!!! Thanks to all of you.

Cliff has alot of great friends in our favor.

Have a good evening to all of you.

Forgive my ignorance, but outside of drinking milk, how do you get

lactose? No, I don’t take it! Maybe that is part of this big

time fog!

Hi Debby:

Cliff's doctor gave us a perscription for Lactulose- , I shad wrong spelling. It is called lactulose solution. Ask your Dr. if you can take it... I'm surprize he doesn't tell you about this med. It is to make you have bowel movements. Although, Cliff is regular... This lactulpse, gets rid of the bile, ammonia . instead, of going to the brain.

Make sure and ask your Dr. about it. The Dr. wanted him to go at least 3-4 times daily (bathroom).

I hope you can take this. Cliff doesn't like the taste. But, one day, I had a small taste . Didn't think it was bad at all. But, it does work.

Take care, and let us know how you make out! OK!

Hi Gang!

I went to ER today after I found blood in my urine. They are treating me for bacterial infections. My doctor said okay to Cipro. I asked 95 times how autoimmune friendly was it. I was distressed cause my two liver counts had doubled since the last test, AST = 87, ALT = 152. They tell me the Cipro will make me sicker before I get better. This was a hard sell. I know so many of you have had accounts much harder than this, but I would be lying if I said I wasnt just a little depressed.

…I think you will be OK. I have

taken Cipro several times and it has been OK….you will do OK on it.

Keep your chin up….but sometimes it IS hard! It is really good to

hear from you!

+++The timing for improved memory and cognitive thinking is different

for everyone, which mainly depends upon how long they have had those

symptoms. The reason is because it takes 1 month for every year to

heal, and during the healing process your body will retrace previous

episodes with those symptoms, along with many others (see Hering's

Law of Cures on my website). For example, my brother had Crohn's

Disease for 20 years so it took him close to 20 months for his

diarrhea symptoms to stop. I had vaginal yeast for over 25 years so

it took 2 1/2 years for it to stop.

+++That's a very good plan. Ensure you do not take coconut oil less

than 3 hours prior to bedtime, since it is very energizing and will

interfere with your sleep.

The best in health, Bee
