Spreading the virus?

[jakish]

I was mowing the grass the other day and stubbed my toe and it started to bleed are the ants going to give the dreaded virus to the kids on the block? Well the answer of course is no!!

I understand people have sx when there on treatment, but I read a post the other day about not being able to swallow post tx then some one replied that they couldnt swallow two days after there first shot, Is it possible to bring these symptoms on ourselves? Honestly during this tx I never even worried about a thing and never knew of this website until post tx, it seemed the more I read the more worried I got,When I see comments like should I make my funeral arrangements? "I just want crawl into a dark hole" Things like that do not help people that are recently dx and alot of the stats I have read on the majority of the symtoms I see here are rare but it seem 90% of the people have them, Don't get me wrong this site has been very informative in small doses, Too much of a good thing can also be harmful.

No, I will be going there for an "educational" film (how to give myself the shots) and the nurse will show me what all to do give me advice etc. then it's up to me...hmm...hopefully I won't "chicken out" mmmmmmm...ch icken. (had to do it) Well, I am one of the lucky ones that can brush my tounge so far..none of my kids can..I hear my oldest son gaging on his toothbrush every morning..just cracks me up..lol. But I will remember all that you have said, and I thank you so much for caring. I am so blessed to have found this site. Prayers and Blessings to you!!!

Good luck tommorrow. I was well aware of the "flu like symptoms" and never gave them a second thought. However, no-one mention the trip down cracker-factory lane. That ran over me like a barrel, but with a lot of communication with my doc and a loss of my own stubbornness, I had good medical help and it's turned out OK. NO straightjacket!! But do keep on top of it and have any part of your med team accessible for info and med-changes IF NEEDED. I was more afraid of the mental than the physical cause I know my weak spot but really it's all managable, just have to modify some pre-concieved ideas some times and take care of your brain like you would any other organ in your body. You'll be one of the ones that just slides through and you can come and tell us about it!........D

Gee, I sure hope so, but I may be "yelling" at you tomorrow..lol..I'm quite a wuss so I may be doing alot of yelling and crying, at the moment I am building up fears again this evening but I guess I just need to trust in God, and keep reading these posts lol.  Thanks all, mkeela

Like you, I started tx with the only info. privided by my Dr. and the Schering Corp. pamphlets.  I deteriorated with side effects week by week.  I received no assistance from my doctor's office.  I started surfing, found technical/medical information that was incomprhensible to me, and found this forum.  I read a few 'threads' and posted a question.  These folks SAVED MY LIFE!!!!!!  I now see another doctor, am on a different treatment regime, finally feel that this tx won't actually kill me and have come to love a bunch of strangers.

Hey, Jim, I'll use all that EXTRA Riba/peanut butter on our Texas Fire Ants!  Let it poisen them - cracked grits (organic, by the way, nygirl) didn't work.
