James,

Would you be willing to share either the specific treatments she recommended or the categories of treatments (i.e. rx drugs, herbs, etc.) as well as what kinds of improvements you've seen?

You might try Rachelle Halpern, MD. She is in Lafayette but can work by phone after the initial appointment. She doesn't take insurance but almost all lab work she does is covered by insurance (at least with Medicare). She does a very thorough evaluation and found several abnormalities to treat that no other doctor had found that have helped me. Her new number is 925-253-4425, she had to move to Orinda recently because her office was damaged in that huge rainstorm we had last month. Finally she did talk with me at no charge on the phone before I scheduled my first appointment to make sure she could help me.

Can anyone recommend an endocrinologist in the East Bay, preferably Berkeley or Oakland, who knows about CFIDS/FM? Someone who can work with the HPA axis, help balance adrenal glands, and detect thyroid problems that don't show up on the regular tests? Thanks.

Hi Debbie,

that is really useful information. None of my doctors had ever mentioned either Vitamin D or L-lysine, and my cat might appreciate it too!

Chuck, Vitamin D can help your immune system a lot, but you should get your blood level checked first. The other thing that helps immune system and specifically herpes is the amino acid L-lysine (although don't overdo it or you end up with a arginine deficiency which could be bad for your heart). My cat's vet prescribed lysine for his frequent respiratory infections. And since starting extra vitamin D (I take 3000-4000 IU/day) and L-lysine last year I've had way fewer flu-like feelings, colds, and cold sores.

Applications are due December 18, 2009.

An Online Course for Practitioners and Activists in Human
Rights, Public Health and Development Organizations and Movements

February 1 – April 1, 2010 (9
weeks, 5 hours per week)

The
Disability, Sexuality and Rights Online Training provides a study of theory and
practice for people working in fields such as development, health and rights,
including disability and sexuality. The aim is to develop awareness of
issues of disability and sexuality and a political perspectiveon
disabled people’s sexual rights. Participants develop their ability to work in
inclusive and holistic ways that further health and rights.

Why take this course?

* Disabled people are often excluded or discriminated against in relation to their sexuality by health, development and rights organizations because they are not considered sexual or they are thought to be vulnerable or uncontrolled sexually.

* Disability rights activists and service providers often disregard sexuality issues and rights in favor of issues considered more pressing and appropriate like employment and physical access.

* Sexuality is an important part of life, identity, society and culture for all people, including people with disabilities. It can be a source of pleasure and pain, empowerment and oppression. It cannot be ignored.

Key Questions and Content

    * What is disability? What is sexuality?
    * What do human rights have to do with disability and sexuality?
    * Why are disabled people discriminated against in relation to sexuality?
    * Why is sexuality important to everyone, including disabled people? Why is sexuality important for health, development and rights organizations to consider?
    * How does the experience and politics of disability in the global South impact theory and practice on disability rights? How are people organizing and campaigning around these issues?
    * How can we advance the rights, health and well-being of people with disabilities?

Accessibility

People with disabilities are encouraged to apply for this
training, which has been designed and tested to be accessible to people with
various disabilities and those with slower computers and internet connection
speeds. We will work with participants to adapt the course as necessary to meet
needs and enable full participation.

Format and Workload

The course will be conducted entirely online in English with
presentations, reading, discussion, research, activities and a final
project. Special technology is not required, except a computer that can
read Microsoft Word and Power Point documents and with Adobe Reader. Also
required is internet access to download/upload documents and comments for 20-30
minutes, 2-3 times a week throughout the course. The Institute will not
be done in real time; participants can complete the assignments at their
convenience within the time parameters.

Organizers and Resource People

This training is organized and taught by an international
group of academics and activists in the disability rights field who specialize
in sexual and reproductive rights and health from a global South perspective:
Anita Ghai (India), Caroline Earle (USA), Ekaete
Judith Umoh (Nigeria), and Janet Price (UK). Full bios in brochure at http://www.creaworld.org/

any thoughts or ideas on this?

I have had the big swollen glands in my neck and lower mouth...since tuesday.. antibiotics are not helping- i know i had a "canker" sore last week ... before my mini make out session --- it had been over 2 years..

i am wondering if the "canker" sore got infected with saliva.. and now there is some strange viral infection going on? i am gargleing with salt water ---- but wondering about herpes- my first inital outbreak of herpes happend at 21 or 22 .... and seemed very similiar to this.. not sure what is going on..

it was great to have 5 days off work last week.... and a couple of them i had fun..(I am disappointed that I missed all the cool people in the ART group) now it seems i am paying the piper- i guess a person with low IGG subclasses, should not be exchanging body fluids- even if it is kissing.. ?? what a bummer!!

It is a question of whether to be so open about this on the list... but I have been to doctor.. with now help.. i'm just being human... and searching for clues.

and thanks for the cool art package!! sorry i missed the cookies!

thanks

Hi Jose,

Thanks for contacting me. I am not aware of any Spanish speaking groups. But I am posting this on the Bay Area CFIDS and FM email discussion list. Perhaps someone out there is interested in starting one.

Or perhaps a Spanish speaker can offer to translate at one of the in-person groups.

I am also including a list of Bay Area Resources below. Perhaps you can inquire with them as well.

Don't forget to bring any CFIDS or FM-inspired art that you have already made.

Looking forward to this!! This should be fun!!

Here's a message from Lori about our NOVEMBER meeting:

we'll use the first hour of our support group to check-in, as usual. but, instead of using the second hour for discussion, we thought it would be fun to play.

we'll bring some art supplies, but feel free to bring some of your own: scissors, glue sticks, paper, magazines, old calendars, ribbon, yarn, stickers, crayons, etc.

we could make collages, or holiday cards or postcards for cfids/fm political advocacy or whatever floats your boat. ***we especially encourage you to create art that is inspired by your illnesses, and your struggles with them.*** you could even bring in your own art project to work on: your novel, your knitting, your newest craft-y obssesion, what ever you want to do, the point is to have fun.

also bring art you have already created, especially if it is something inspired by you having CFIDS or FM.

LOCATION
Davies Campus of the California Pacific Medical Center, at Castro
St. and Duboce St. Room B2-3. Enter the North Tower, take the
elevator to level B. It is near the cafeteria.

Parking in the garage is free. Take a ticket when you enter and

transportation: N, J, 22, 24, 6, 7, 66, 71. Wheelchair accessible.

Please make an effort to be on time to the meeting, as late arrivals
can be disruptive, especially to those who are sharing. It is better
to come to the meeting late, than not at all, but please make a
concerted effort to come on time.

Please let me know if you're planning to come, so we know how many tables to set
up.

To protect the tables, we will need table cloths.  Please let me know if you can
bring one.  Also, I ask that you refrain from bringing very "messy" art
materials, like oil paint, or anything that can't easily be cleaned up.

Don't forget to bring any CFIDS or FM-inspired art that you have already made.

Looking forward to this!!  This should be fun!!

Here's a message from Lori about our NOVEMBER meeting:

     we'll use the first hour of our support group to check-in, as usual. but,
instead of using the second hour for discussion, we thought it would be fun to
play.

     we'll bring some art supplies, but feel free to bring some of your own:
scissors, glue sticks, paper, magazines, old calendars, ribbon, yarn, stickers,
crayons, etc.

     we could make collages, or holiday cards or postcards for cfids/fm political
advocacy or whatever floats your boat. ***we especially encourage you to create
art that is inspired by your illnesses, and your struggles with them.*** you
could even bring in your own art project to work on: your novel, your knitting,
your newest craft-y obssesion, what ever you want to do, the point is to have
fun.

     also bring art you have already created, especially if it is something
inspired by you having CFIDS or FM.

It's not over yet.. After getting mean emails for my"future Ex landlord" on Friday, I thought all was done.

I left a small kitchen table there- I thought, I will just write it off.. I don’t want to see her.

I get a txt msg from her saying, come get your table.. And your over mopping with natures' mircle damaged some of my newly sealed wood floors- I know the guy that did her floors only charged her $200 so many I could pay him to fix that one spot where the floors buckled..

I'm not sure how to deal with this.. I will call the oakland tennants union.

I am so glad I didn't sign a contract with her.

And I hope if I don’t respond to her txt msg she will go away!

what to do?
