Questions from a newbie

July 13, 2011 by anita   Comments (0)

dora, I was like you when I was first diagnosed, afraid I would not know if I was having an attack or not.
I saw Dr. Greenberg in dallas and he says that if the symtoms last more than 24 hrs then you should check about them. I have some days that I am worse than others, everyday seems different.
hope this helps, take care,
anita

Hi Anita,

Ah yes, the search function.  We are currently updating and improving our back-end database with hundreds of key words.  It looks like when we merged all the past Devic's Support on Google posts into the Spectrum archive, it might have toggled something loose. 

We are working hard at fixing this issue.

All the Best,

Dan

just wondering

April 11, 2011 by anita   Comments (1)

was trying to look up something and the only thing that I could look up was a persons name. is that all we can look up? I am sure I am not doing this right but like a drug say, if I put that in the search place nothing comes up?
hope all is going well with everyone. hugs to all!!!! anita

gracie,  lots of prayers going for you,  hope you are feeling better real soon.

 

good to hear from you lea,  I am like you a little intimidated with the new system.  I realized that the messages were coming to my email,  gracie had to tell me I had it set that way.  little did I know, I am really not computer smart.  anyway it seems nice that way I can follow it better.  I am sure we will all get use to it soon.

 

anyway good to hear you are ok and hoping that you gracie will be back to yourself soon.

 

love,  anita

I'm praying for you - you've been going through so much lately!  Hoping this all passes for you! 

I'm with you and Shannon - its my vision that I really freak out about. I can handle the weakness, paralysis, etc far better than the blindness. I'm still haunted with what I "shoulda coulda woulda" done before to regain my sight but now is too late.

I've not been posting because for some reason I've been intimated by the new system - hopefully this gets through!  I gotta get back on the horse!

Hugs to
ya'll!!

Today whenever I woke up, I already had moon face from yesterday's steroids---it took
me aback whenever I happened to look in the bathroom mirror.  Eyes are still the same, maybe a bit worse than yesterday. It feels like my eyes are coated in Vaseline. 


Also today, some bilateral spasms of the hands.  Very painful.  It's surprising that they were bilateral and symmetrical as my tonic spasms present differently on each side.  Left leg burns and left hand stays open. Right hip and knee flexion, plantarflexion right foot and toes.  Right hand makes a  fist. Head and neck pull to right shoulder.  They're the same pattern every time.  Today though with my hands, it was not only bilateral but symmetrical.  I'm not sure if that is cause for concern or not.


The last time that I had an episode was in 2007, seven months after I started Rituxan.  It was my eyes, and was resolved quickly with an immediate Rituxan infusion and several days of SoluMedrol.  I'm hoping
that this is also resolved quickly and that my vision improves and stabilizes. I fear losing my vision more than any other aspect of this disease.


Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Shannon C. for being such a close and wonderful friend.  She understands and feels the same way that I do regarding vision loss, having already lost the sight in one of her eyes.  Thank you Shannon for everything that you do for me.


Well, I'm off to bed again.  I have a reading assignment that I needed to complete for one of my docs, but obviously I can't complete it.  Only one chapter and an epilogue to go---so close yet so far away.

Gracie

Anita, it is probably because you have your notifications options set to receive posts as email.  You can reset them.

Ionela,
Our intent is to associate  replys with the original posts.  Spectrum does this by examining some of the "header" information
that is sent along with an email message.  As long as an email program sends the right headers, Spectrum can post the message as a reply.  Unfortunately, some email programs do not send the right headers.  Having said that, I'll review the code for handling replies to see if I can make any improvements. 
Thanks.
Steve
