I try to include much healthier foods now. I had been doing this before I got sick, but not nearly as many conscious decisions as now. More protein, vitamins, way less fast foods (which my system would get ticked off at me for eating anyhow). I have developed quite a sweet tooth which I assume is due to taking desipramine. But I feel as long as I keep an eye on that it wont cause problems.
October 30, 2006 at 9:53 amMine is a nickname my 3 kids dubbed me with. We used to watch The Fairly Odd Parents on tv almost religiously. And since I am a goofball, I became the Fairly Odd Mother. As a family we are the Fairly Odd Family (use that handle for Geocaching….been awhile since we have gone out treasure hunting, but it is certainly a unique name for us).:)
On other boards and email I am Vee8—not for the juice but for the engine in my car. I love classic cars, own a 69 camaro super sport, and have been “vee8” since joining the internet about 12 or so years ago.

October 29, 2006 at 10:28 pmjust to let ya know hubbys computer got a bug and he has spent the day cleaning it…I havent had a chance to work on the danr project today afterall. *sigh*
October 29, 2006 at 1:55 amA Black to green I think. It may end up being green with a black border, but I am going to try the black to green gradient.
Ive been so busy today with a tshirt design for a high school student’s AVID project and my own kids that i havent had a chance to start on ours. Argh! Tomorrow will be dedicated to just our GBS project.
Been doing too much I guess…I am twitching, which is a good indication that it is time for bed and a movie finally. Did you know it takes almost 2 hours to cook hot wings? 10 pounds of chicken wings and all I have left is maybe a pound of them. And another 2-3 hours on that tshirt thing. And a trip to the store for a few things. Wow I was wondering why it got late so fast today! Okay tomorrow for sure, nothing but this project 😀
Hugs to everyone! Hope all is well with ya!

October 28, 2006 at 1:40 pmthis is the kitty we adopted right before I got sick. Some kids were “getting rid of him” at a mall. He was so young the little guy couldnt even eat on his own, potty or hardly walk correctly. We managed to nurture him and he is a rambunctious, loving, curious 4 month old bundle of personality…that sounds like he swallowed a v8 engine (he purrs constantly and LOUD!). Moxie helped me emotionally relax while I was sick. He would lay with me, purring away, snuggling and distracting me with his antics.

this is him at a very young age…
[IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a140/fairly_odd_mother/moxie.jpg[/IMG]All three of our cats have been adopted from shelters or rescued. In fact, every cat (and dog) I have ever owned was a shelter cat (or dog) or a rescue. And yes, I believe in spaying and neutering :):)
I will be working on the “surprise” today during laundry and other chores. I finally got the template I needed. I sure hope I can pull this off and it will be worth the wait.
October 27, 2006 at 9:41 amSorry for the wait. I have had to do some thinking on this one, trying different designs in my head and on my computer. I should have something this weekend.

October 20, 2006 at 7:12 pmThese are wonderful!
I am working on a project for us and as soon as I have it completed I will reveal it 🙂
I completely understand the blacks and greys. The other colors are neat as well.
I picture dark clouds (fear), lightning (nerve impulses), with clearing skies and sunbeams (recovery and hope).
Keep em coming :):)
October 20, 2006 at 7:07 pmmay sound wacky but even the Urban Legend site couldnt dispute its effectiveness….thanks for the idea and here is a link to more info regarding this:

I am going to try it since i have been making layouts all day (felt good this morning and will hate myself this evening since i am already hurting)
Enjoy!
October 19, 2006 at 1:37 pmI would have lost it if they had said ALS! My dad died of that when I was 2. I had heard of the rare possibility of it being genetic (I was concieved when he was sick so in my mind I was always afraid I would “catch” it).
October 19, 2006 at 1:34 pmI like these so far….very nice visualization. After a few more responses I will explain why I am asking this 🙂
October 18, 2006 at 9:09 pmThak you all for your responses. Yes everyone has made me feel most welcome since day one. This forum has helped me so incredibly much and I am grateful for the understanding, support, answers, and help.
Thank you a million times plus inifinty!!!

October 16, 2006 at 6:59 pm[QUOTE=Natalie Flick]BabePrice,
I, too had GBS a while back in 1979, and have been dx’d with CTS and have for a year been having lots of Post GBS issues, with not having many over the past 26 years. I would be interested in your finding with your doc. Why the MRI, they didn’t do that with me.
I’m trying to get some info together for us long timers and Post GBS![/QUOTE]the dr told me the MRI I had was to rule out MS. Guess it shows up as lesions on the brain. Dont know if that is the same reason for others to have one.
October 16, 2006 at 6:57 pmI think we all want whatever it is ailing us to end up being “nothing” rather than something bad. I remember hoping the same thing when I was in the hospital…I remember telling my hubby that I hoped it turned out to be nothing (the dr kept talking MS and other such stuff and I was terrified) and that the dr would tell me I was nuts. Guess what? he did. And I was devastated! That hurt me more than a “real” dx.
October 16, 2006 at 12:21 pmHere is some info…
[url]http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/QAA50582[/url]October 16, 2006 at 12:10 pmthe twitches are annoying! I had them bad last night everywhere! Was trying to fall asleep and kept having little twitches in my toes, feet, legs, arms, hands, back. Argh! I too had eye twitches!! Havent had them since, except everywhere else. But I remember being terribly annyoed by the eye thing and asked hubby if he could see it happening and he said no. After this hit me, the eye thing stopped.
Also, Andy, you mentioned confusion. When I started this I also had moments where I would feel “far away”. I would forget exactly what i was talking about or would feel as if what I was saying wasnt coming out right. I had to pause a lot and think. Felt as if my mind was off on its own in lala land or something. Is this similar to what you experienced?
