      Dear Scott,

      From Franny7 Saturday

      Pls read my journal entry for today. Did they remove my messages from your mailbox too?I have several confirmations that they are going to my friends' mail, and removing my personal e-mails! Good grief. I would not be surprised if they closed my account altogether. Please send me a personal e-mail address just in case!

      Treatments

      Advair Working / Worked
      I currently use this and it seems to reduce my need for the albuterol.
      Albuterol Working / Worked
      During some months of the year I go through spells where I need my inhaler every few hours. I feel like I'm breathing through a straw. My nose does not always feel plugged up but I can't breathe well. Albuterol usually works for a few hours. There was one night where it did not and I had to get a breathing treatment at the ER.
      Flovent Working / Worked
      I used to use this several years ago. I can't remember if it helped much.
      Immunotherapy Working / Worked
      I'm currently receiving allergy shots. This has elliminated some of the side effects of a full blown cold/sinus infection. (stuffy nose, headache, achy feeling, etc). Now it just feels like I'm breathing through a straw when I get infections.
      Serevent Working / Worked
      I used this several years ago. I can't remember if it helped much.
      Singulair Working / Worked
      I used this a year ago for a couple of months, but I stopped because my arms were felling tingly at night.
    • Close Pregnancy

      I have a great husband and a wonderful son. I'm looking forward to more kids.

    • Open Parenting Toddlers (1-3)

      I have a toddler! He is 21 months in Jan 09. I love being a mom, though staying home took time to get used to. I had gone from interning all day to staying home all day when I finished and was pregnant. I also had not developed a social network amongst moms and had just moved to my home less than a year before. I now enjoy being a mom and doing activities with my son. I can't wait to have more kids.

      Treatments

      Education (School) Working / Worked
      Mom's Day Out and home child care for a couple of hours. He learned to observe other children and interact with them.
      Positive Reinforcement Working / Worked
      It works. I also use time out when necessary, but positive reinforcement helps to keep them encouraged.
