My Hc HAS ARRIVED TODAY, SHOULD i WAIT TILL TOMORROW OR TAKE MY FIRST 2.5 TODAY!!!!!???

 Hi

Nobody could answer this question - but we know that thyroxine stays in your body for up to 6 weeks - even though it gets less and less each day. You should be OK for up to 3 weeks or thereabouts but everybody is different. Your thinking is right, and you should not start your L-thyroxine again until you have been taking HC for at least a week. Have you written to Afshin yet to find out where your HC is?

Luv - Sheila

Oh lordy, lordy, lordy - thank goodness for that . Now, you can get on with the business of getting yourself better. Now don't get too excited and take too much or try to increase your dose too quickly. Softly, softly, catchee monkey!. I see that you have taken your first dose, so good luck.

Do you think re starting the T4 in a week to 10 days at 75mcg sounds about right?

Well, 2 hrs since I took the first 2.5mg of HC, Ive had no adverse effects and feel no different, so that tells me I need more eventually, am I right?

DUH! that went off before I had a chance to reply - it's that little green man again !

Yes, I think starting at 75 mcgs should be fine for a couple of weeks, and then, if this was me, I would increase by 25 mcgs and stay on that for about 6 weeks before you increase again (if you need to) but once your adrenals start to heal, you may not need to increase. It is a waiting game now to see how you get on, but I'm sure you will find an enormous difference.

Hi Leah. The suggestion is 10 days clear liquids, 10 days full liquids, and then 10 days mushy food. I also wanted to try some mushy food too soon. Tried it and got very sick, even though I was very careful. One of the girls that was banded the same day as me also tried this and had the same results. Guess it's normal to want to try. I'm at the mushy food stage now and it is still hit and miss. On many of the boards you will find patients with a variety of liquid/ mushy stage schedules. My advise is to take it slow. Your body will also know you are ready. Sent from Sharon L's iPhoneOn May 15, 2009, at 3:56 PM, "sweet_love_n" <sweet_love_n@...>

You need to follow what your paperworks says, the last thing you want to do is get something stuck. Occasionally i get something stuck and its really uncomfortable and take my word for it you dont want to do that. Your band area is still swolllen and will still require to do liquids or puree food.

Janice is correct, you are most certainly NOT ready to start soft foods if you haven't finished clears and full liquids.  You really can't see the scarring and adhesions forming and that is what will hold your band in place long term, not the sutures.  You are assuming that if you can eat you should eat.  That's exactly wrong.  Cheat on the post op diet today and slip tomorrow.  Those that cheat on the post op diet have a very high risk for slips 6-12 months down the road and that's one of the best ways I know to lose your band.

Stick with Dr. Aceves instructions.  You didn't spend this money and go through surgery just to cheat the first weeks of banding.On Sat, May 16, 2009 at 6:31 PM, janice gies <jangies@...> wrote:

Hi Trish I can understand you being very anxious. A cholestiatoma is a

collection of excess scar tissue which is attached to the ear drum. Depending on

the size and whether there is any damage to the hearing bones which the doctor

will only find out once he goes in will depend on what he will need to do.

If you look on the internet under " Cholesteatoma " you will find plenty

Information and If you want to see what one looks like just look under

" Cholesteatoma images " .

I hope all goes well.

or hearing loss. The bump is just inside his right ear and was discovered at his

regular annual exam. I'm just concerned ( of course) and since I don't

personally know anyone who has been through this, I was just hoping for some

advice or information on what to expect. The thing is round, pearly and the size

of maybe half a pencil eraser. My son's pediatrician made it sound like it was

Trish –

My son never had any ear issues either. No infections

until one really bad one at age five where it blew a hole in his eardrum.

It was through that hole that our doctor saw “something” and we

proceeded with CTs, etc., from there. I was told that because he hadn’t

had chronic ear infections, he was probably born with it (congenital).

Do your research on whomever will take the next step with your

child. Ask the group for a referral in your area. Don’t worry

about offending your doctor; find out how many of these surgeries they have performed,

because it does matter. I didn’t ask these questions early on and

have to live with that guilt now forever.

Don’t lose sleep over this. Keep in mind that the

glass is half-full, not half-empty. Of all of the horrendous things your

child could have, this is relatively manageable.

Much like the Pharm Tech I and II, there is no universally accepted definition

of a certified IV or Chemo Tech in the USA.

HOWEVER there are a few different 'companies' or organizations that provide

literature and then ask you to demonstrate in front of a pharmacist at a

hospital pharmacy using aseptic technique and a hood to, then the pharmacist

'signs you off' that you have met the minimum criteria that the certifying

company has given them.

There are a couple of IV cert programs where you fly to a location and do all of

your study and physical exam on one school site.

Since CA only requires a minimum of 240 hours at an approved pharm tech school

OR PTCB passing actual hands on training is not required by law. BUT in

California most of the 'physical' schools have IV training within the program.

This training can be further enhanced by an extern or intern -ship.

I have not seen a trend in CA for IV certification. I am hoping that AB 418 will

require education that will have the training.

NOW that all being said at this time in CA and in most states, the various

employers then have their OWN criteria for being considered 'ion-house' IV

trained and certified to do IV's in that particular hospital pharmacy. This IV

certification does not transfer per se to any other company or hospital

pharmacy. Most hospital pharmacies re-train or re-fresh an IV Tech to see how

they perform and correct and certify them or PERMIT them to do IV's with in

their facility even if the tech has previous IV experience.

It is much the same in most states.

Hope this helps,

Hi Trish, my 5 year old daughter has just been through surgery for a large

cholesteotoma. She has also never had an ear infection in her life. She had a

cold and they noticed her ear drum looked opaque like there was fluid behind it.

We were seeing an ENT as it was not resolving and eventually she asked to do a

scan and it revealed a large cholesteotoma. Was abit of a shock. Our daughter's

is considered a congenital cholesteotoma and if you son proves to have a

cholesteotoma I suspect it would also be the same. Our daughter had the more

radical canal wall down surgery and has coped very well. Her hearing in the ear

despite an attempt at reconstruction does not seem great but later she may have

an implant. She has recnetly had an ear plug fitted and has been able o return

to swimming which has been great.

I hope that your's son condition does not prove to be a cholesteotoma. Let us

know

Hi Trish

My 5 year old had surgery to remove his c-toma last week & like you I had never heard of it & also lost lots of sleep.

Joe's (my son) c-toma has caused a severe hearing loss in his right ear, but it couldn't be seen by the naked eye. It was discovered when our 1st ENT put a grommet in.

It is really scary seeing your 'baby' go through this. If your son does have c-toma, please be assurred that post operative recovery is amazingly quick (I think it took me longer to recover than him).

C-toma is certainly not nothing as you Dr suggests, but all of the reading I did before made it scarier than it actually was.

I am more than happy to share more details with you if your little boy does have c-toma. I'll keep my fingers crossed that he doesn't

Thank you for the replies. I appreciate it. It seems that many of these cases

involve the eardrum. I am guessing we are lucky that his is nowhere near the

eardrum? Right now I am just trying to keep from driving myself crazy while I

wait for his appointment. I hope your daughter heals quickly and her hearing

improves.

Thank you Donna. I will let you know what happens with his check up and would really appreciate talking about it with you. The part about it taking you longer than your son to recover made me laugh. That is so accurate with anything our kids go through.

Hi Trish, I am 41 and had 8 different surgeries for Cholesteatoma in my 20s. The doctors say I was born with it, but it wasn’t discovered until I was 20. I recently started a blog chronicling my ups and downs with the disease. You can read

it to learn more about it. www.lisaceardisease.blogspot.com.

Feel free to ask me questions anytime! Thanks!

Hi . My 7 yr old had his removed last year. He had his skull drilled through

behind the ear. Sounds scary but it maintains his eardrrum. He recovered in

about a week completely. He now has a moderate loss in that ear and wears a

hearing aid. Late this year he will go in for prosthetic bones. It is scary for

you but find a surgeon that you are happy with and it should be easier. Good

luck.

Foxxxys1,

Although my son is not at the stage of needing surgery yet - we are in the

watching phase - nothing scares me more than the thought of him possibly needing

the same surgery as I had when I was seventeen. He's only 12 right now and

thought of him having to have any part of his spine fused keeps me up at night.

All I can suggest to you right now is that you get several opinions and find a

scoliosis surgeon at a major hospital, so that you get the very best surgeon

possible. Even if you have to travel, it will be the best for your daughter in

the long run. You should know that they are so much more knowledgeable these

days and the surgical techniques, pain management, and overall outcomes are so

much better that 30 years ago when I had my surgery.

You should go to the Scoliosis Research Society website, they have a doctor

search program and much needed information to help you through this difficult

process.

Best wishes for you and your daughter,

Jeanne

Hi

My 13 year old daughter just found out she has to have surgery and we are

both

scared! We are looking for others that have gone through this same thing or

are

currently going through it too.

This is normal for some and it will pass, promise. I think potassium has been

suggested... I'm sure someone else will chime in soon. Hang in there! You can

do it. The first week is rough for some but then its easy sailing. Best wishes!
