I lost my son last Aug.He took his life at 44 years old.I lost my sister 2 weeks later due to the shock of my son’s death.She went into cardiac arrest.My other sister due to the shock of my son and sister’s death lost 60 pounds in 3 months and was told last Thanksgiving she had cancer of the bowel and had 6 months to live.She has a mental illness but has done well living on her own.I am dealing with her now and there is a team of us.I respect her wishes but would like to see a visiting nurse and I am doing a conference call later today or tom. to see the next step.She is pretty smart and heads me off so I am going to need some help.She is going to die and she is about an hour from me so it’s not like I can check in often.She has to give us something or I will fight her on this.I want a visiting nurse and that’s it.
Thanks. I had seen the coconut oil one on a website a FReeper sent me a couple of weeks ago and had an “aha!” moment, because out of nowhere, I had begun craving coconut everything about the time this flared up again.
Had never made a coconut cream pie in my life, but looked up all kinds of recipes and found one I liked. I didn’t want to read about all the coconut oil things because I have a VERY limited amount of shopping I can do - two stores I have to walk to - and I have bad breathing problems and usually can’t make it that far.
I knew I’d never find coconut oil itself, but they also said to eat coconut products. Well, I’ve done that, but not enough to help, obviously.
I’ve always drunk ACV, just because I love vinegar - and I also have very vinegary salad dressings all the time, as well as pickled things. If ACV worked for this, I wouldn’t even have it.
So, thank you! Oh, that’s the same website I went to the other day. I have to try just one thing at a time, because I have to be able to tell whether that thing is working or not. I have so many allergies, it’s bad if I put something on my skin that is worse for me.
I got tickled at myself about the “boron” treatment thing. They swear that people take 20 Mule Team Borax (a tiny amt in lots of water) for all kinds of remedies. I looked for it at one of my two stores and they didn’t have any. Then I forgot to look at my grocery, which probably will have it - probably with Ronaldus Maximus Reaganus still on the box, lol. (It’s an old-fashioned kind of place.)
Then I saw that my multi-vitamin has boron in it, so I’m covered, lol. Anyway, thank you! I don’t know what I will try next. I had gotten a new lotion because all the sprays that I liked because I didn’t have to rub the rash had kind of stopped working.
Then I had th problem with the infection and the Neosporin ointment making it worse, or not stopping it. So, I used some hydrogen peroxide on it - a little late, because the bottle I had was way out of date, so I had to wait till I got a new one. Anyway, it hurt, but it helped a little.
I continued using my Domeboro, but it was defeating the purpose because it’s supposed to dry up the little blisters - but it dried my skin so badly that I had to go back to the ointment or lotion (only the hydrocortisone as a very last resort - and it only works maybe once and half times) to keep my skin soft and flexible.
The ice water still fixed the itehing for a while, but now all the blisters have run together in a couple of places and the skin is red and hard. The Aveeno anti-itch I put on it for a couple of days has calamine in it and it gets all over everything.
LOL, the other night I was beside myself because the itching is worst at night - will wake me up if I go to sleep and I’m a day-sleeper, anyway - but I had just put the lotion on and was about to pass out, I was so sleepy.
I can’t put gloves on this because it makes it all worse - unless I absolutely have to, to go out where I’ll have to touch germy stuff, just a little while - so I was so desperate, I got some socks and put them on my hands and went to sleep. LOL, it worked, anyway. But the Aveeno didn’t work on the itch after 2 days.
Right now, I’m back to ice water then Neosporin. I will have to sleep soon, but don’t mind if I get a little greasy ointment on stuff. Problem is that I have to wash everything I own by hand because of fragrance allergies to the apt laundry room. And hand-washing isn’t good for this.
Sorry to go on and on. Truly, I am.
Oh, bless you. Prayers for the family and friends. How sad.

Oh, hear heart. I knew it was very sad. I’m so, so sorry. Just this last August? You had other tragedies last year, too, no? Oh, fatima. I just don’t know what to say that could comfort you - obviously nothing could - but I know your faith is great.
{{{Huggsss}}}
Please join me in a prayers for several of our FRiends who are experiencing difficulties and tragedies.
Will be back in a few weeks - take care of each other.

I am so sorry you are having so many problems. I think that site has some good info, but some of the remedies are wierd. I bought Borax at WalMart, but I’m afraid to use it on anything but my laundry. lol I have arthritis so I’m always looking for natual remedies. The doctors used strong medicine on me before like prednisone and it helped for awhile, but stopped working. Now I’m using oregano oil and coconut oil which help. Also, I learned that I didn’t drink enough water. I used to work at an elementary school and always drank coffee and diet drinks all day long. Never thought about water. That’s when my problems started. I’m trying now to drink at least 2 quarts of water a day. It does help when I remember to drink that amount. There’s got to be something out there that will help your hands. I enjoy your posts so much so you’re got to get them healed up. You are in my prayers.
A few *weeks*? After the inquest, if it really happens next week? Be sure to check in, if only to lurk!
So sorry for your losses. You and your families are in my thoughts and prayers.
You'll be missed. Hope you'll be back sooner.
We will miss you.
Thank you! I pray every day (a lot, lol) - for our fellow ANS thread posters and for FReepers in need, plus some others - so “right back at ya!”
Obviously, so many people have much worse problems than I do. I just don’t have anywhere else to vent, because of my unusual life situation right now.
Extreme stress ruined my good health and I wish to heck I knew how to get it back. I surely wanted to finish the List, but can’t stress out over it now. Thanks again!
It is good to vent - it can reduce stress. This is one thread where there are sympathetic posters. Prayers.
Prayers for you all.
Thanks and your welcome, Rte66. No, don’t stress over the list. That was my problem too. Trying to work all day and take care of a teenage son took it’s toll. My husband was in the Army and gone alot of the time. It’s a wonder I’m still sane. lol At least I think I am. Stress can really affect people in a lot of ways. The list can wait until you feel able to work on it. I am anxiously waiting for the inquest. God will take care of everything.
A list of creepy people I would not let into my house would include HKS, KE, OJ, and Senator Reid
hi plum
I remember the two liars; ans and hks claiming there were three confidentiality forms signed but.. they never produced them. They lied about so much in those interviews I don’t believe a word they said. Anna also said VA hadn’t see Daniel since he was five, 1994 video shows that just another lie.
In her Playboy application she praises her mom. Virgie is 100% right, in comes HKS and he isolated ANS from everyone methodically.
Clever psycho HKS made sure the plots are in his name!
He signed for them. Remember his testimony on the stand? With ANS permission. IIRC Barth had some declaration from the bank. Hum, wonder if it is from the guy that was just reported as stealing from the Bank of Bahamas. :O
