Just so you know - I can't believe this - I'm so mad - I have 2 docs saying its the cipro. So, don't take it. Got some good cleanse and anti-inflams. Time heals. Still wobbling about but can do 1/2 a...
saw my chiro/kinisiologist guy last night and tonight. have an appt on thursday morning with my doc. We'll see what happens. People have also mentioned a virus that's been going around that settles...
Stopped taking it - don't want to chance it. I'm cleansing now. Don't joke - it hurt so bad on saturday i was about to suggest that to Muryl. Just hoping that resting the muscle for a week will help....
Be careful – good advice. I don’t know if it was the cipro or not, but somehow (not in my memory) I must have hurt my front thigh muscle because it felt like someone tore it off my leg and was...
Hey - I was given cipro for my bronchitis - I seem to remember people talking about it on this site once. I have a really HUGE muscle spasm in my front right thigh muscle. Couldn't walk for a while....
Anyone experience migraines when their hormones flux?? I get them every time they do. When I'm fertile, pms, after my period... If so, anything special you do for them?...
On the up side - they like fake emotionless employees don't they? ONly way to survive the job world - "fake it till you make it"....
Kitt, I can't tell you how many times I've heard people tell me that they think I'm such a strong person - which blows my mind - I feel like a pile of goo - feel the things you described in the above...
Had someone told me once that I just appeared to be a sad person - And this person sees me in situations where I know I am happy. that really depressed me. So now I work at being more happy in my...
They say that people who either have images in their mind of hurting themselves or actaully do in order to feel that pain - what they are actually after is control of their life in some way or its...
I dunno - depression makes us numb in a lot of ways - When we're sick, we're actually feeling something and usually that something is distracting us from what usually depresses us. I have heard a lot...
Yeah - that hits home - growing up with people over-reacting about everything - everything is a big drama event - screw the world. I've been working so hard at NOT being that. I think i've decreased...
All I do know is that when you take sleeping meds - make sure you sit up for a 1/2 hour so you can digest it properly before lying down....
Kitt - Do you ever feel you get anxiety from trazadone? Or am I some kind of freak of nature? I can't take it for more than 2 days in a row before I start becoming almost neurotic. This goes for...
good thread - where did you find this? I do some of these things once I wake up and realize what i'm doing. I need some sort of sensor attached to me that sets off an alarm after detecting...
Dangit - knew I was forgetting something!...
Fainting? Me? Yup - twice so bad they lugged me off in an ambulance. But that was a long time ago. Now I just wear a sign that says, "if i faint please do not call an ambulance - just go - leave me -...
Well – I can breathe a little easier and go into OCD preparation mode! Haha! This is funny – my other guitar player who was contacted about[b] this used poor English. ;o) It isn’t this Sunday – they...
So me and a couple of my band members have an opp to play at a really great blues joint in the city over a sunday brunch. Some big timers in that town play that slot! They needed someone and asked...
A great partner that I live life with and play music with. I leave for a weeks vacation in the Canadian wilderness in 10 days!! Will be nice to be civilization free for a week. A good harvest from...
HAHA! Sort of… I’ve been working on not caring what people think – my shoulders are getting lots of exercise shrugging…lol. Get lots of practice “not caring” with my music. Who wants to see a 37...
Yeah - never fun when you run into those quacks - seen a few myself. Little meals if you're having trouble emptying - and don't drink water while eating - some people have trouble with stomach acid....
I second the anti-fungal diet – I had colitis and went on a major anti-fungal, food sensitivity diet and basically cured myself of colitis. I’m still dealing with some side-effects of that whole...
Hi - I second...or is it tenth now (LOL) the anxiety/stomach connection. I suffer from anxiety every morning prior to work, wake up with nausea and sometimes can't eat until 10am. My intestines also...
I know what its like to not want to go anywhere because you’re afraid and “episode” will hit and you’ll be nowhere near a “facility”. I don’t have Crohn’s but did have a bad case of colitis – which...
Awesome pictures, Jen!! So happy things are going better for you! You look great and is that a bit more peace and confidence I see? Wonderful! The acceptance thing has been working here too...slow...
See my post in "What Should I do?"...
Wow…sounds all too familiar. I had diarrhea (sometimes with alternating constipation), bloody BMs, constant nausea, painful bloating, gas coming out my ears, couldn’t find anything to eat that...
Agree on the steamed veggies. Lots of vitamin C gets things moving. I have a powder form electrolyte/mineral/vitamin supplement I take. but 5000-10000 IU of Vit C and lots of water works really well....
Kitt - sorry - sort of wrote in a flury. I do have a therapist, but what's a pdoc? Hey Jen. Yeah, this have gotten a bit rough lately. Just when I thought i was on top of it! This is just one of...
I have a happy home life, financially getting by (but not great). Have many things I love in my life. Have NO desire to leave it. But when my stress gets huge, like when i fell like i'm failing at...
Thanks - turns out he may have done some damage by not taking care of himself. The lasix finally kicked in and he is peeing again. However - one wall of his heart is only working 22% and they are...
My dad went into the hospital last night with blood sugars at 520. They checked him in and gave him insulin - and it dropped to 195 fairly quickly. He's wavered all night but averaged 200. Of course,...
Oh, and there are classes out there for specifically elderly also - in fact my modern dance teacher actually has a class that is a workout but teaches the elderly (and he has another for arthritic or...
Types of qigong can be done from a chair, which could replace the yoga component. If done correctly, qigong can be a good workout, because of the focus it demands and the isometric style. I cannot...
If you are at home when it happens, I use alcohol free witch hazel toner on some cotton and it takes care of it for me, or at least helps the spasms end more quickly. WH also helps with inflammation...
Thanks all - I'm also starting a exercise regimin to try to eliminate "lack of exercise" as a cause, but i have a pretty active job in the summer and still have the symptoms - But at least i'll be...
cold sores are a big problem for me. If i keep lysine and pantothenic acid handy, I can at least keep them minimal, But i get them pretty regular. I burn easy. Rash...do you mean like those blotchy...
Yeah - I totally relate - still getting tested for things - but that sounds like me, including the candida. I have to totoally stay on top of it or i'm totally miserable. My mornings are the worst!...
Would someone here be able to look at my short list here and tell me if i should even bother with looking at lupus? I am currently waiting to get some lyme's bloodwork back, but i've had these...
Are you actually passing BMs or do you mean that you leak?? I have a leaking issue after I have a BM. I have been trying things like Kegals but it doesn't help. ???...
Some of them can have a drying effect overall. That is what my ND told me. And it did tend to make mine worse - tho it was nice to clear up the diarrhea issue after antibiotics!! ;o)...
I have also dealt with being on a lot of antibiotics in the past – and then suffered the after effects of yeast overgrowth. Mine was also coupled with frequent urination, not because of a bladder...
D-mannose is actually the compound in cranberry that does the work. I use it too - and really am thankful for it. Use it on my old cat too. I'm not trying to be funny or weird here, but it helps me...
Avacados are a high cal/fat food - help me with my intestinal issues too. Its a good fat for intestines. If your IBS is mostly diarrhea - maybe check out a probiotic - that will help with that, and...
