EAT!! SLEEP !! QUILT!!
Hi all --
Remember when I posted that I was feeling better following my visit to hotel hospital. Well, it turns out, I wasn't. I probably sound like a broken record but I am healthy now . . . I PROMISE!!!!!
I probably sound like a broken record but I am healthy now . . . I PROMISE.
It turns out the problem I had a couple weeks back and then again last week was not my anxiety and stress, although I think those played a part. It turns out I was having an allergic reaction to some new Parkinson's meds that we were trying. The doctor started me on the meds on January 25 and as I look back at the month of February, I was declining in health all month. It is now resolved. I PROMISE! Man, that was nasty! Now that my head is clear I can think again and knowing how I've been the last 3 - 4 weeks it's kind of embarrassing.
I'm on meds for cancer, depression and Parkinson's. It seems the dopamine agonists react negatively with my cancer meds. Now it's a matter of figuring out what to do. I am completely off the Parkinson's meds now. It might take a few days for the effects to totally subside but I am finally a functional human being again. What aggravates me is that the medical community looks at some FDA generated literature and says "this medicine doesn't cause that". Well, I'm living proof that just because one medicine doesn't cause a side effect, it doesn't mean that the interaction with another doesn't cause it.
I've always complained to my oncologist that ever since my first days of chemotherapy my body just doesn't metabolize medicine the same way it used to. I don't know if that's a function of the liver, or what. Drugs that I know I used to take before my cancer days started, I am not able to take anymore . . . they cause problems . . . I either get physically ill or they mess with my head. For instance, Coumadin. I had to have it after my first cancer surgery. They gave me the generic . . . Warfarin . . . and it worked fine. After my second cancer surgery they gave me Warfarin again and my tongue and throat swelled up so I couldn't breathe. I have the same trouble with Tylenol, Advil, cold medicine, flu shots . . . really anything.
So for now we're not going to treat the Parkinson's. I'm on the cancer drugs for life so I'm not sure what we'll do about the Parkinson's.
I'd love to hear from anybody else who has Parkinson's to find out your experience with the meds.
Thanks all!!!!!!!
Cheers
Kristin, I am glad to hear that everyone figured out that a drug interaction was causing your problems. Hopefully things will calm down for you now. Ginny
Susie, Prayers, prayers, and a big Hug for you and your family. So sorry this is happening to you and especially your son. Susan
Has anyone heard from Marie since she was going to go to Boston for her GGS birth? Ginny
I'm sorry to hear this news Susie -- Please know that you have my thoughts and prayers.
Stay strong and remember to take care of yourself. Your quilting friends are here for you for whatever you need . . . an ear, a shoulder, a hand . . . whatever. I am only a 30 minute drive from you and would be happy to bring you dinner, groceries, or whatever you need . . . don't hesitate to ask.
God bless you.
Ginny, Not one word, that I have seen. Hope everything is doing fine. Maybe, just a very looong labor?

Is,
that symbol is for RSS. It means "Rich Site Summary" and is often referred to as "Really Simple Syndication". You can use that to subscribe to the feed for this site to receive a summary in your inbox. I use it to follow blogs that I like. The feeds come to my email program.
There are many ways to read feeds; through email or through your browser.
Anything you type in QCA forums can be seen by anyone with access to the internet. I find a lot of QCA posts via Google. Their search engine is better than the one here on QCA. Our posts show up on Twitter in a summary. When you click on them you're directed you back to the site. I'm not sure about Facebook.
If you tag a post it will be easier to find in a search engine. I have found many of my photos of quilt blocks in a Google search. Which is why I started adding a watermark when I post them.
Kristen, I'm happy to see you back on and that you are feeling better. I hope things get much better. I will be praying for you.

Thanks Kris This learning thing is dificult still leery of my computer settings. Its hard because I have four users on my computer and things may not be set the way i'd want them. Still working with bank. I may have to drop from mq as life is very busy and complex right now.
Susie, praying for you and your family that God will comfort all of you. He is already holding your step-mom in his comforting arms and giving her peace. He will be with her all the way. God bless you and give you peace....and lots of hugs.
