I told you that someday they'd believe me......

Old timers, remember when I started preaching back in '98 that we should ALL have our testerone levels checked because I was living proof that my hormonal imbalance had a direct effect on my CH?

Well, check this out and give one ATTA GIRL DONNA up.

Hi Donna-

Thanks for sharing this. I have always been interested in the potential link between hormonal imbalances and CH. I have suspected that hormones may play an issue with me as well

I'd be interested to hear more about your own situation and your discoveries re: your homones and effects on your CH.

Thanks again

It is funny that you posted this today!!! LOL! I had an appointment with my neuro, today, and I brought this up. She told me to discuss it with my primary care doctor to get it looked at. <Grrr!>

At least now I can bring SOMETHING to her about it!

BTW, Donna, dear, I realized you got a few ATTA GIRL's here on this thread, and I will give you another: ATTA GIRL!

BUT you realize it takes TEN ATTA GIRL's to get rid of ONE AH SHIT ... Now, where do YOU stand in the equation? Hmmm??? Do you have a lot of AH SHITS built up? Hmmm ??

Chuck, who has too many AH SHITS to bother counting ATTA BOYS

CAUTION: Do NOT smoke when using or around oxygen. Oxygen can permeate your clothing or bedding. Wait, before lighting cigarette or flame.

Keep fire extinguisher available, and charged.

I know that I've been a pain but I cain't hep it! When I think I'm right, I am just compelled to make you believe it too. I suspect that I have more "aw shit's" than Atta Girls. Thank's a lot Chuck...but I still love you.

Nice find Donna. Thanks for posting it.

What's really important about this study is that it offers a ray of hope for those that nothing else works for. These are the people most in need of it.

I'm not old enough (in board years anyway) to have heard your theory the last time around. I'd love to hear your views...

Where there is life, there is hope.
Where there is Oxygen, you must use proper caution.
So be safe, don't smoke while using O2. Kill the pain and not yourself.

Thanks Donna. I'll be bringing this up to my Dr when I see her next Thurs. My Dad and I were discussing this a couple of weeks ago in realation to our diabetes. He just recently started on therapy and it has brought his numbers down quite a bit, plus has given him a lot more energy and interest in life. I hope this is helpful to a lot of us.
