**Vibes for greenbriar**
She's home from the hospital, but is still very sick with various nasty ailments...
She can't eat and is down to 95 pounds...Her doctors are talking about a feeding tube.
She can't work either...
Let's give her our best Lounge vibes!
I'm hoping her treatments will soon see the end of this nightmare she's stuck in!
I know I make fun of her but this sounds horrible! Hope she gets back to her old, goofy self soon!

What happens when she puts the other foot on the scale?

As though this were an issue before.

We can all hope.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!! Excellent! :lmao: Maybe her nomination for Dummie of the year will cheer her up :-)
-
Well I hope Pam recovers soon.....The school children in Kansas are suffering with out her sage advice and intellect! :-) Who knows....maybe another Cruise is in the offing as well?
-

Yes, after this terrible ordeal, she probably needs a cruise to take her mind off things. Or maybe a Prada bag. Or both.

How 'bout a Prada bag to take on the cruise?

What is a vibe?
Now, I thought the peeps over there were all tired over her. Now they are sending her vibes?
-
Why do I get the strange feeling that she'll be posting again roughly four weeks after her removal from the Innerwebz? I mean, most in-house rehabs are that length, just sayin....

IF doctors are talking about a feeding tube why did they send her home from the hospital?

Shhhh. Don't ask logical questions of the DUmmies.
-

Isn't it obvious?
Evil health insurance carrier forced the hospital to discharge her...... she has enormously high co-pays and couldn't afford to stay another day...... she needs the feeding tube, but her insurance doesn't cover the actual "tube" so she has to have a pam-a-thon to beg for money to pay for it?
So many possibilities when dealing with the sick at the DU. I am waiting for stories about how her class wrote her poems, donated food to a shelter in her honor, and held a vigil in her absence.
-
..or perhaps she will have a million stories about her various roommate during her stay in the hospital who all those things applied to. Pam of course being so wealthy, can afford the hospital stay -- but but those other poor sick people.....

Feeding tube? Pull the plug and send her to heaven. I read on DU once that death by starvation pulling the plug is a beautiful, peaceful thing.

The scale breaks.

Surely no one believes a word of news from Pam Dawson. Every word from her mouth has always been a blatant lie. Always. Why would this be different? Sounds like she now fancies herself to be the second coming (and going?) of the master scamster Andy. If she is truly under the weather, we hope she recovers to spin more entertaining lies, but the reason for any ill health is likely to be a combination of her abuse of drugs/alcohol, and Mark going off on a particularly violent bender.

Obviously you have yet to be introduced to the DUmmy's standard bearers of all that makes ones lives whole, sane, and bearable:
White Light
Violate Light
Burning Sage pots
Shaka
Or, a pound of weed, 100 hits of LSD, and a 400lb bag of Cheetos.
-

Actually, it is not REALLY like a feeding tube you and I would know of.
She is a DUmmy, a rather LARGE DUmmy at that soooooooo her "feeding tube" is more of this variety:

My guess is short for "vibrators" . . .

She did want to seduce a "cabin boy" on one of those cruises she went on . . . so, she's probably hard-up.

I agree with you on this. I've held to the belief that the whole hospital thing was nothing more than a big lie. If you recall, when she disappeared, she was getting a lot of attention regarding her personal information posted here on CC. We knew her full name, where she worked and her city of residence (Thanks Zaba. Even knew her street address). In her simple and yet convoluted line of thinking, she figured that if she disappears for a week or so, we would forget all about her. Hey Pam D. It ain't gonna happen. We loves ya. :-)

48. thank you all
I have good minutes and bad minutes
I can not keep anything down and my weight is dropping daily.
If the second round of Crohn's Chemo doesn't turn things around I could be looking at a feeding tube.
I spent 13 days in the hospital. I am praying that I don't have to go back. It is touch and go so your good wishes and vibes are very much appreciated
I missed this. She is posting a hell of a lot for someone who just went through chemo? I never heard of that for Crohns.
-
I just did a quick google search. Chemo for Chrohn's is optional (she certainly did not require it), and not as invasive as chemo for cancer. She could very well be just taking an injection, depends on the type.
As it is optional, her commentary on how she cannot work is bizarre as she would have 1) know that if it was full fledge chemo or 2) she is only getting injections and is looking at this moment to attention whore (she can't work, but she can post on DU).
The "please don't let us loose another one" comment from another poster is soooo :whatever:

I did the same and the first hit for treatment is webmd.
No mention of the word chemo unless that is now a generic term for certain treatments.

Yeah! What complete bullshit. It isn't fatal....unless you live in a turd world country. I know 3 or 4 people with it and they still work 40-50 hours a week. You just have to follow a special diet and take medication. :whatever:

My grandmother died from Crohns and colitis, but that was about 40 years ago. I'm sure treatment has come a long way since then.

Crohn's is an autoimmune disease. Which means your immune system overreacts and ends up attacking your body. The "Crohn's Chemo" that she is speaking of is most likely methotrexate. Methotrexate surpresses the immune system. You don't take the amount you take for cancer ( you take a lot less). You normally start at 15 mg a week ( once a week) then move up if the lower dose isn't working until you hit the right dose. It can take weeks to show if the medication is working. I have been on Methotrexate before aroud 1997/1998 for my auto immune disease takayasu's arteritis.
I have no idea if she is telling the truth or not. Frankly I don't care. It's obvious though that she is sick, but the next question should be is she "sick sick" or just "sick in the head".
-
I work for a couple of GI doctors and they use a medication called Remicade for Crohn's disease and I suppose you could call it chemotherapy but only a drama queen would. I've never once heard either of my docs refer to it as "chemotherapy" but for someone like Greenbrier, that makes it sound more dramatic.
Anyway, most people who get these Remicade infusions for Crohn's disease - even at its worst - feel better pretty quickly. Remicade infusions are also used for arthritis.
I believe she does have Crohn's disease and yes, it is painful and can really make someone sick but methinks Greenbrier is milking it for all its worth. If she were still significantly ill after receiving a Remicade infusion, she would not be at home.
It says here one infusion runs around $2500.00. As a card-carrying liberal I am surprised that she would allow that much profit to go to an evil drug company.

I went to the ER Wed the 25 and was quickly admitted to the hospital. My lipase level was over 4500 and it is supposed to be under 300.
I get nothing to eat by mouth except the occasional ice chips from Wed-Sunday Sunday I got clear liquid diet...could not keep it down.
Monday pm I had exploratory surgery to see if I had stones left over from my gallbladder surgery years ago...NOTHING was found.
Yesterday I was given an infusion (think chemo for Crohn's) But now my lipase level is back to over 700.
I am really discouraged and frustrated.
I miss my family, my friends and my life.
ONE good thing has come from this 9 day stay so far...I have not had a cig since the 25th of November.
The pancreatitis is unexplainable.
All the obvious causes are not valid in my case
My doctors say that the Crohn's is the cause of the pancreatitis.
If my lipase level continues to rise and fall depending on what I eat or don't eat, I could be here for a while.
I have been here since Nov 25. Hubby brought my laptop so I could communicate and get sub plans and things to the necessary people.
Doc just left and said I MIGHT get a clear liquid breakfast in the morning.
I was waiting for the students adorning her with cards post:
yea one of the teachers on my team brought up cards the students made
They are so neat.
Kids bare their soul to you and it is humbling.

Sounds like she needs some GovCare assisted suicide. Save us some money and effort. Isn't that the whole point of ObamaCare?

C'mon! This is Pammie D., the only person who is such a miserable pathological liar that even the DUmp's habitual liars can't stand her! Why would you think this line of look-at-me posts is any more likely to be true than her other stories?
