hi all here is a mini-thread of conversation i've had today with Jeff Jones in re Rebecca Hudson's condition i'm at a loss and 'off' right now sounds to me like new medicos might be called for anyone else? janet ------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 23 May 1999 07:10:07 -0700 To: [log in to unmask] From: Jeff Jones <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Please help ------------------------------------------------------------- Janet, Becky is having a very hard time and tried to set her parkinsns list id to nomail. The request failed. She is too weak to be able to pursue this any more. She is in such pain that she can't eat and has lost a lot of weight. She is considering a feeding tube at this point. Will you please help by setting her id to NoMail. Thank you, Jeff Jones ------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 23 May 1999 10:29:06 -0400 To: Jeff Jones <[log in to unmask]> From: janet paterson <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Please help ------------------------------------------------------------- hi jeff why is becky in pain? why has she not been able to eat? what's been going on? janet ------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 23 May 1999 07:58:07 -0700 To: janet paterson <[log in to unmask]> From: Jeff Jones <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Please help ------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Janet, They can't seem to find the source of the pain. It began slowly in he gut and has spread. One doctor dismissed it as irratible bowel but when it grows to encompass the throat, neck, shoulders, and legs it seems to me to be more than that. She's been to many doctors with no help except for pain killers. She's currently trying to cleanse her body of mercury build-up and other chemicals with a havy regieme on herbs in hopes that this will help. I feel very helpless. Have you any ideas? I asked folks on the list a year ago or so for advice and no one had any. Thank you for responding, Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ janet paterson 52 now 41 dx 37 onset [log in to unmask] 613-256-8340 PO Box 171 Almonte Ontario K0A 1A0 Canada a new voice <http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Village/6263/> ------------------------------------------------------------
