Guest guest Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 Hi, yes, andy really got going with the band at 19 months. we have not seen much results. but Jill has! her son also started at 19 months and wore the band till age 2 and they got something like 70 percent correction! andy is already such a big boy, I'm afraid a lot of his growth occured before we got him the band. Plus, I'm still wondering if Andy might have a fused suture. we have not done a ct scan, so we don't know. but it would also explain a lack of correction for us and the fact his head was misshapen from birth. anyway, I bet your son will do great. I wish we'd gotten started at such a young age as 16 months! : ) diane and andy ----- Original Message ----- From: aleqsandra@...

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Hi Diane, I have had several series of the shots and they are really great. They put off doing anything about my left knee for several years. After my knee surgery, the ortho said that we will try them again after I heal. Just make sure that you immediately ice them to cut down on the swelling. I always take pain medication before I go and it helps a lot. I hope you get some relief from the shots.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Hi Diane, As soon as you get home from your injection use ice! Off and on for several hours and you shouldn't have much swelling. I always take pain meds before I go and the shots are not too bad. I noticed the difference in pain and how my knee felt after the first injection but some folks have to have the whole series before noticing any difference. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Iris P.S. I grew up in Louisiana and it gets cold and even has snowed a few times over the last 20 years! --- voices <voices@...> wrote: > Hi, Everyone! > > I am home again and want to wish you all a > very Happy New Year! > > Larry and I enjoyed Christmas in Texas on > the truck and had a great > time with the other truckers who were stopped where > we were.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I am dealing with lyme/2 co-infections/MS sypmtoms and just started the LDN. I know other lymies and FM people using the LDN. Would you please email me direct re: the lyme Thanks Diane <fblooms@...> wrote: This is my first post. I'm hardly functioning with Lupus, GP, and two tick borne illnesses. First I want to thank Bill for asking if LDN has helped anyone with allergies. I can have three or more bad food allergy reactions in a few weeks time. This recently included one almost full body rash with welts. The allergy reaction sent my immune system down and now I'm fighting a virus. My question is this: I know LDN is used for someone with drinking problems, that it blocks that pleasure response one gets from drinking. I never got that pleasure response from drinking ever so I'm wonder if it is known whether a person like me would have any chance that this med could help them? thanks for telling me about this.Thanks all,Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diane, I think LDN treatment for the Lupus and proper treatment for Lyme would be the way to go. Diane I think you should start LDN at 1.5mg for 3 weeks and then go up to 2.0mg for 3 to 4 weeks and then to 2.5mg for 3 weeks and up to 3.0mg and if your body will tolerate more, slowly work your way up toward 4.5 and if it won't tolerate 4.5mg drop back to no less than 3.0mg. I think due to your severe allergies you need the pharmacy to do you the liquid version of LDN and also that way you can do the measuring any way you want it. I hope someone here can help you with the Lyme treatment part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
