CALLING MATT---A REPLY!!!!!!!!!! READ IT!!!!

[barbaranoela]

Matt----I have read and re-read your post---and NOT that I want to get into an agrument but somehow I dont get where U R pointing the *finger*

And Frankly speaking--I dont CARE what Dr. FINE has to say----

I AM IN CHARGE OF MY LIFE and THE GAME---

What I have said---is not due to me putting all FAITH in my Dr.s and XPECTING them to heal and cure----I XPECT them to (after all these months) to give me an answer as to what is going on in my body---

I AM IN CONTROL of my HEALTH and THE GAME----I dont Xpect a WIZARD to WAVE the WAND and ZAP--Barbara is CURED and well---and I am NOT looking for a MAGIC ELIXIR---I HAVE NOT laid everything into their hands---for an ANSWER---I WORK with the REASONS and QUESTIONS---I dont sit like a MUMMY and say DUH!!!!

I dont wobble on a 3 leggered stool---
I am well in tune to what I am going thru----machinery has done its job----has found problems-----THATS what I WANT----how to PUT the *period* to end the sentence of asking and wondering----

My MIND---EMOTIONS and SPIRIT---as anyones---is always tested!!!
And if @ times U FAIL some of the TESTING--I find that to be NORMAL--

Your 3 leggered stool has never been shaken????? Well then U R one hell of a put togethered person---

So----I am in CHARGE of my LIFE----
Barbara----still sitting on the stool!!!!

I am Taking Barbara's Back on This One!

I have tried everythin g there is - GF, Paleo, Meds, No Meds, Inclusive Diet, and anything else one can think of. Doctors - I have tired them all, Gastrp,GP (who i trust the most) Hematologist, Cardiac Surgeon (great), Nutritionist and have gotten NOWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There comes a time when one has paid all attention to their health, their own body and even - the 3-legged stool (a VERY stupid corporate philosphy for Team Work) that one gets totally disgusted with the body, thier care and everything in general.

This is where Barbara and I are at this stage in our life. I don't need any preaching, philosphy, diet or anything else - I have tired them all and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is working for me.

I put in 45 hours per week at work, crap 13+ times before I get there, have a BP of 72 over 54 with a heart rate of 99+ and feel like SHXT!

No one has helped me, and I have tried to help myself the most and the BOARD has been my lifeline, believe not Dr. Fine. He has been supportive when I have called but can give me no solutions. I must come up with the solutions - not him. I also work and cannot research constantly and get no where when I have the time.

A solution for both of us would be a PRESENT THAT NO ONE COULD UNDERSTAND.

I love everyone here but PLEASE - no GD 3-legged stool. I have heard that enough in executive meetings and it means crap. Drag one leg over the side and just CRAP it all out. That is all I am doing in this stage of my life.

SORRY if I sound depressed and out of gas - GAS now that is a real joke - but I love you all but am at the bottom of the barrel. No teeth and I am sitting in a dental surgeons chair with a tooth growing that is not there. I am SICK and VERY TIRED of problems that no one else seems to have.

Love to ALL, Maggie
