THANK YOU for your response! Personally, I'd love to go over there and help or have her come up here again. But again, there's the insurance issue. She doesn't want to upset the "balance" of it and...
Hello all. I don't know where to start other than telling you I've had to watch my daughter's ongoing nightmare with CVID (Common variable immunodeficiency) that just goes on and on and on. She also...
Thank you for your responses. I guess there are not many things that are as horrible as what our imaginations can come up with. It's just that we hear so many terrible stories that ruin people's...
Regarding the wipe-downs and such. Thank you for the info!! Healing Well is a wonderful website! I know we need to clean surfaces BUT NO ONE ever includes how often. My question is, is once a day...
Wow, what practical suggestions. Thank you! I will pass this along to my sister......
Thank you for replying...UGH I know it's far fetched to think that we'd need it. But you know California, I don't trust that "they" wouldn't go after us. I've heard too many stories. Sad, but someone...
Thank you for the suggestion but she doesn't have a doctor. She has insurance but no doctor that has seen her. She did go once about 28 years ago and then 54 years ago when my sister was born. Like I...
Hello all, My mother is a very unique person, due to a childhood incident, she never ever goes to the doctor and has a fear of doctors. She is 83 years old and up until about 5 years ago she was the...
(Diane, I am deleting what you wrote here. I understand you two are divorced and you harbor some bitter feelings toward him but the purpose of posting here at HealingWell is for support and...
He's on Medicare and Medicaid, one of which he actually lost. My son told me which one but I can't remember. He's also had Social Security for being disabled (He's got behavioral "issues" ,...
Sigh...So sad, ugh. So much has happened and new problems have cropped up in an already impossible situation. I had the police go check on him, they said he was okay. And then 3 days later he was...
This is really annoying! I'm getting this stinging spasum in my big toe that lasts for about 3 seconds and then goes away. Then almost exactly one minute later it will happen again! This has been...
Okay, it's out of my hands. I'm back in California. I've presented your ideas and my kids are ready to call the police and have them check his "health" out and his living conditions. So far, they're...
Hi, sorry I'm so late in getting back to you guys. I've made a list from your suggestions and I've shared it with my kids. THANK YOU!!! They're all adults BTW and I'm going home on the 10th so...
You know Lanie, I thought about taking pictures for proof but I didn't because I had to leave everything in the car (including my purse) so I wouldn't take "anything" back to my son's house where I...
Hello all, Basically here's the situation, my ex-husband is 61 and a total mess of a person. A TOTAL MESS! He almost died shortly after Thanksgiving, he was in the hospital for over a week due to...
Thank you!! Will do....
Interesting. I'm trying to improve my circulation too. I've got Diabetes. What about green tea?? I know that tea has much MUCH less caffeine than coffee. I really need to "take the bull by the horns"...
I ordered 2 books, one for me and one large print for my mom. Thank you....
Thank you, I'll order that book right now. I'll have it delivered to my house and then take it over to her. She'd be afraid of my dad seeing it and getting upset. She can keep it in her bedroom. An...
This is so frustrating. It's difficult to explain my parents to strangers, I also have to take into account that there is a small chance that my mom will get on HealingWell and read this and totally...
No time right now for an adequate response to 2 great replies. Later. But I had to say THANK YOU THANK YOU to both of you. More later......
She doesn't trust doctors and the only "doctor" he has recently seen are the one's he saw in the hospital that he came home from all screwed up. He refused to do what they told him upon follow-up...
That's a GREAT motto, if he's going to act like a child and demand to be taken care of like a child... I'll try to encourage my mom to "be a mom to him". She's just so hesitant to step up because...
Hello...Let me be blunt and to the point. My Dad will not listen to doctors, he will not listen to my Mom, he will not raise a finger to help himself, and he won't get out of his chair that sits in...
I'm going to read through some of the other posts. See what I can glean from there. I'll be back....
My dad is 83 years old and he's one of these stubborn (but loveable) ol' guys that doesn't like nor trust doctors. He's polite enough but has been kicked out of a doctor's office before and is one of...
MERRY CHRISTMAS...I'm not too worried. Chances are I'll just get a hysterectomy and get to miss out on Menopause, whoo hoo!! But still, it's nice to talk......
I was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer on December 23rd (Merry Christmas to me!) and I read that having Diabetes and being obese were major risk factors for getting it. I have both...ugh. Is there any...
I like reading older posts...still good info. I can see where someone would be embarrassed about admitting they have Diabetes. Especially if they are overweight. My thoughts, when I was first...
I'm not big into that prick either. It's like a gunfire, LOL. Plus, I don't feel like I"M THE ONE IN CONTROL, the "gun" is. So, being the rebellious coward that I am, I did away with the gun all...
You wouldn't happen to know what those symptoms are, would you?? Just for reference sake. This vitamin "juggling game" is a challenge. I want to be healthy, however I have a LONG LONG way to go. But...
The Spirulina isn't a multi-vitamin, it's a blue-green algae. It's so cool! It's a NATURAL superfood that supports cardiovascular, eye, and brain health as well as boosts immunity and energy. More...
Bottom line, would the Spiruina AND the CVS package be too much? I see my doctor early next month and I'll ask her about any deficiencies from my labs but I'm just afraid I'll just get that robotic...
Hi! Thank you for asking. It contains... 1. Mulitivitamin/Mineral. High potency 2. Cinnamon/Chomium Picolinate 3. Alpha Lipoic Acid 4. Folic Acid 5. Vitamin C w/Bioflavonoids 6. Selenium 7. Co Q-10...
I'm taking the CVS Diabetes Health Support pack, which I guess is nice. Plus I take Fish oil, Calcium, and Evening Primrose in addition to my Diabetes meds. I recently started taking SPIRULINA, I got...
I'm thinking that she's wanting (demanding via whining) a Luxury stretch Lomo (service dog) to fulfill her needs when a little Honda car (walking frame) will do. I'm sorry, that's mean...but you get...
Thank you for your response, I appreciate any help from the MS acommunity. Im sad that she has to deal with this, that ANYONE has to deal with this. But she has insulted people that are praying for...
Thank you for responding. First of all, I don't have MS but I love HealingWell and come for other disease forums. BUT I am dealing with a woman who has a puppy she bought from me. She has MS and has...
Oh yes, please! Thank you all! Gotta go make breakfast....
Thank you...I'm actually kind of excited about the Sushi and the cooking now. Thank you, I'm going to try the chicken and am hoping to put 10 pounds on him by surgery time. (I'd gladly donate 10 of...
Yes, he uses the gluten free soy sauce. He takes several with him when he goes out for sushi, but last time I went with him they used the same knife to cut both the raw and the baked so he got sick...
I figured that that was what you meant, LOL I just wanted to make sure. He doesn't like fish, doesn't like a lot of veggies, doesn't like NEW things, (Yes, he's very frustrating) doesn't like "thrown...
Thank you for the recipe. Lemons. sounds interesting. I guess I'm just a bit jumpy because I'm nervous about the surgery. Perhaps it's "easier" to worry about the cooking than it is the operation. A...
Should we buy canned chicken as opposed to fresh chicken?...
Thank you Mary G.! I was feeling kind of left out there (no replies). Maybe other members wrote me off as being lazy or maybe they thought why don't I just look in cookbooks or something. But there's...
HELLO ALL, My adult son is scheduled for surgery to repair Crohn's Disease complications. But the doctors say he needs to bulk up and GET HEALTHY so he's in better shape for the proceedure. He's...
My son ordered Aloe Vera Juice online and it tasted just like tap water!! We have our suspicions....
I too am interested in the Apple Cider Vinegar benefits! DO TELL!...
This stuff he has came in a gallon jug and it tastes just like water with an aftertaste. I think he got ripped off and think we should get some more at a healthfood store. Right now FROM ME he's...
