-Cheryl- Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 That is right! sometime at the crack of dawn, my mare named chula, had a black filly with a little star on her nose. She is all legs! I thought she would never get here. She is so adorable with her wobbly legs. I on the other hand am exhausted and at work. I am sorry that I have been off the boards for a few days. I spilt coffee on my key board to my web tv. I will have to find if any one makes them still- Walmart doesn't anymore. My CT scans are all stable, even with a small shrinkage. I have a few more left then, will probably do a vaccine if treatmnt is necessary. I have been suffering from neurapathy in my feet pretty bad, My feet feet asleep or frozen. Any suggestion out there? I am also experiencing bad nose bleeds. Dr. McCullum from Mary Crowley's suggested neosynephrinie nose spray, which worked like magic! It was gross, coming out in streams with huge clots. My platelets were low, which is why this happened. I was pretty scarey because it just poored all over my clothes and into rags. Might I also suggest, to pack your nose and tilt your head back. An ice cold rag helps too. Good to talk to you all, It will be a couple of days probably before we find the right board that mathces our web tv. Take Care, Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Wow Cheryl..congratulations on the new arrival. My daughter has been riding horses since she was 5 and she was lucky enough to help welcome a new foul last summer. The stable owner let all the riders vote on the name-- talk about some excited little girls! About your neuropathy, CURE magazine has an article on chemo related neuropathy in their new issue. I am at work and can't grab it to give you the highlights right now. I know you can read it online also, but you're out of commission with the broken key board. I'll try to post something when I get home. It is good to hear from you~ Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ry Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Cheryl, I have the same problem with the neuropathy in my feet. I got it 5 years ago from diabetes. I got worse with chemo and then better after the chemo was stopped. I still have it. One thing I wanted to say is watch your feet for injuries. check them daily. With the neuropathy you may not feel injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayFrog Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Cheryl, Congrats on the new addition; she sounds adorable!! Can empathize with the neuropathy......my hands and feet are affected, the worst is my left hand; I can't feel anything and trying to do buttons or any kind of intricate work is sooooooo frustrating! Good to see you, Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Congratulations !!! Does this make you a very young Grandma???? This is wonderful, but I have to say your news on stable is the BEST news of ALL!!! Thank God!!! Love & Hugs, Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Ok Cheryl the best idea I got out of the neuropathy article was acupunture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay A. Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Cheryl, How exciting! Can you post a picture of your newest star nosed foal? I can relate to the Neuropathy. I can no longer feel my right foot (has that pins and needles feeling 24/7) so my Primary Care Doc is putting me back on Neurontin with the hopes it will help. I'll let you know if it works this time around. Congrats on the Stable Scans with possibly some shrinkage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chloesmom Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Cheryl, Congrats on the new addition! Isn't that awesome? No experience with horses, but I have bred puppies (once) and it was so cool. Enjoy that colt. Neuropathy--no answers here, just empathy. I have pins and needles in my feet and , I don't know if this is neuropathy or not, but if I sit for a while, and not a long while, when I get up and walk, it's like Frankenstein on the move till I get warmed up. I see my onc next month and my surgeons as well, and I'm gonna ask some questions, but I don't think there's really a solution. I had heard vitamin B6 might help, but I don't know. On the other hand, I do feel good and I'm moving around fine, when I get moving, so I'm not really complaining. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annjael Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Congratulations Cheryl!!!!! She sounds like a beautiful little girl!!! My husband had neuropathy in his feet too, drove him nuts. Peace and Blessings Annjael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Cheryl, How exciting to have a new foul. My neuoprothy is quite aggrivating. Mostly in the left leg & foot. There is a good accupunctuist here so I will check with her for relief. Thanks for the tip Ry. Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnodel Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Cheryl, How exciting -- a new foal AND good news about your progress. Too bad that it has to be dimmed a bit by the neuropathy, not to mention the awful nose bleeds -- but at least the latter is a thing of the past. Len has been on neurontin, both pre lc (for excruciating leg pain from spinal bone spurts that were finally removed surgically) and now for the residual pain from the lobectomy. It works wonders on some people although I don't really think it has done anything for Len -- in fact, he's reducing it to the point that he's going to stop taking it at all in a week or so. But it might be worth trying. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushka Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Cheryl, The best news of all is STABLE with some shrinkage. I am so happy for you. The next best news is the foal. How cute they are at that age. A picture of that darling is in oder. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand4hope Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Cheryl, Congratulation on that new little filly. Have you named her yet? When my husband was in Vietnam, I lived with his family and they raised Apalloosa ponies (POAs). I remember early one morning being woke up that their new little colt, named Beau, was born. It was so exciting to be out there just after daylight looking at that cute little wobbly baby colt! Thanks for bringing back that memory. I'm also glad to hear you have stable scans, but sorry to hear about those horrible nose bleeds and the neuropathy. My husband had some neuropathy with chemo, but nothing as bad as what you describe. I hope you get an answer for that real soon. Take care of yourself! Love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
