Input please, support
Sunshyne, relax.
Things happen to us all as we age. Has little or nothing to do with our diets, it's just part of life. Accepting and understanding the changes is important. You'll be fine. |

I also started a new med. Just took it one day. Vioxx. Maybe it ulcered my
stomach. Bingo!!! Vioxx is hell on the stomach - I recently had a bad stomach bout on a similar drug, Mobic. Stop the Vioxx and see how you feel in the next few days. |

My guess is that your low-carb eating kept you much healthier than you would have been otherwise and minimized your sumptoms. This would make more sense than your negative take, since for most of us the type of symptoms that you describe have all improved over time on Atkins. -- Peter 270/215/180 Before/Current Pix: http://users.thelink.net/marengo/wei...htlosspix.html |

I don't think it is. One of the concerns I stated was the eating of certain meats that can cause Gout, or Gout like symptoms.

I hope it gets solved soon. I have a relative with fibromyalgia, and I
know it's no fun at all... the bleeding - it is highly possible it's the Vioxx, as such things often lead to dehydration in the colon (pain medications in general, actually) and to bleeding - in which case, it's unfortunatly not the drug for you. Hang in there... and be well. -- Nancy Howells (don't forget to switch it, and replace the to send mail). |

I hope it gets solved soon. I have a relative with fibromyalgia, and I
know it's no fun at all... Me too. I appreciate everyones support, thank you. I will make it to the doc to see what to do next. Testing, etc. I am starting school tomorrow. Can't wait. It will be of a big help to get out of the house, and meet new people. I am taking graphic design. the bleeding - it is highly possible it's the Vioxx, as such things often lead to dehydration in the colon (pain medications in general, actually) and to bleeding - in which case, it's unfortunatly not the drug for you. I think so, the Vioxx. I been really taking it easy, not letting it all get to me. The bleeding is still going on. Not as intense. I was able to hold food down today. Been pretty much liquids all last week. The elbow swelling is down too. Hang in there... and be well. -- Nancy Howells (don't forget to switch it, and replace the to send mail). |

Art tools I never even heard of. Lots of books. I am finding it hard on my back to carry the books around, so looking into one of them bookbags on wheels. It was such a busy day, I did not eat as well as I should've. Today I did better. Classes are from 12-5. 10 minute breaks in between each class. There are vending machines, but its all junk food. I had a sausage patty and two boiled eggs for breakfast. (I cut them up into small pieces, mix them together with a dash of hot sauce) Small salad for lunch before school. I was getting really hungry towards the end of the day though. Drank lots of water. Being active and busy, its helping me sleep better. (Bleeding also has stopped). My doctor is trying to get the referral out to have another scope done. Drawing class is my fave, along with Typography. Studied the history of writing, the alphabet today. Was really interesting. Soon as I picked up a drawing pencil, the teacher showing us how to hold it. I knew I made the right decision. Felt like I am home again. Its what I am meant to do. Are you back to teaching now too? Hows it going for you? The teachers I have, they are great! Nimue: I have a Business Comm. Class. The book, workbook for the class, its a English workbook. Remember I told you once about the horrible teacher I had when a kid? The nouns, pronouns, proper nouns, verbs, adverbs. Its driving me a little bonkers already. I may need some help, if you are up to it? Not yet, but if needed, can I ask you for help? I wish I could say I like English as a course. I just don't. Or perhaps its just the belittling teacher I had when a kid. I was falling asleep in class just about. It may get better as the week goes on. |
