Guest guest Posted November 6, 2000 Report Share Posted November 6, 2000 , Ask your doc about congestive heart failure, if he or she won't give you an answer find a new doc with ears, I'll bet this doc eats liver. ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2001 Report Share Posted April 24, 2001 Thanks for the support, . I'm on doxy and Zithromax each and every day without break unless I forget to take them, which rarely happens. I hate needing the mtx but my disease was so severe and totally disabling by the time it was diagnosed that I needed the mtx in order to have any kind of life. ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 ...great words of advise about exercise. I too was a bit lazy with exercise and feel it may have contributed to deformities. I know many who feel this way! Parents ....encourage your children to do those exercises. It will pay off!!! Have a good day gang!

Shes been short of breath, a " punched " feeling in the middle of her chest, sore arm, etc. The test indicated blockage in central area of heart. Doc wants to see her in a couple of days for followup. Doc was matter of factly about it; not reacting in an alarming way. Obviously shes concerned and aprehensive. Any suggestions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I know of two products. One is called Heart Technologies and supposedly it has unblocked peoples arteries in less than a month. It is based on Linus ing research and a simple web search will lead to product and great info. I used to sell heart tech and got only good/great responses to it, so I can highly recommend it. Another is PCA/RX it is an oral spray and works slower and is more expensive, but for some who don't want to do heaping spoons of heart tech every day it could be a good thing. Web search will lead to info and product. Haven't used it but I am thinking about it as it chelates mercury while you still have fillings, a rare and good thing.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Hi All.... There are quite a few sites about the keto diet for epilepsy and from what I've read, they are directed toward children. Please let me know if there is an adult recommended diet for seizures! I'm the wonderful age of 50 and never had seizures until I was 36. I was diagnosed then with complex partial seizures, although all brain scans, eeg's, and MRI's were normal. I managed to wean myself from Tegretol in 1992, and had no seizures at all until I had a grand mal in August, 2002. Needless to say, I'm back on the tegretol, and this time, once again, all the scans were normal. I find this group very helpful - I've learned a LOT, and I realize that I have a lot to be thankful for! The best book I have found is one called: Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Balch and Balch. If any of you out there have adult onset seizures, I'd like to correspond with you! Thanks for all the input from this group!! It's an education every day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 You use silk rose petals, not real ones. You separate the petals and dip them in melted M & P soap then let them dry/harden on a rack. When they are completely dry, you put them in a pretty dish. Guests use them one petal at a time.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Ok, so end of Nov., beg. of Dec., I rebatched a rebatch of soap that I had purchased from a supplier. It didn't work the first time. I posted my difficulties here and received suggestions. With encouragement from here, I figured I'd try again. It's been sitting on this rack since end Nov/early Dec. and it still ain't hard. Since I am totally unfamiliar with any other soap than MP, I'm lost. Do I throw it away at this point? Will a low temp in the oven make it hard or just make it softer? Any suggestions? Helpless in Calif _______________________________________________ Hello, I didn't see your original post. How much liquid did you add? Did the soap come with instructions? Did it come with an ingredients list? The problem with rebatching is that if you add quite a lot of liquid it makes the rebatching very easy but the soap takes months to dry out and shrinks all the time. It ends up looking very UGLY!! If you only add a little liquid (milk is best) the soap will never melt down to being runny but will be like lumpy mashed potato and you have to cram it and press it into the moulds. You end up with a soap that hardens up very quickly but may not look the best. Much better to be brave and make a simple cold process soap yourself. You will be proud of the result and will know exactly what's in it :-) Nerys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Does Tenex effect sleep? Also, how often is it taken? Abilify is once a day. Which is nice. My son has gotten fantastic reports from school since being on it and even his speech articulation has improved alot! The child psychiatrist that we saw, here in Palm Beach County, is the most recommended for 3 counties. Now mind you, we are living in Florida. He's been a family doc for 10 years and he specializes in kids on the spectrum. This doc actually gave me the choice of: Tenex, Abilify and Concerta but a friend of mind that is an RN in a pediatricians office, has a kid on the spectrum and recommended this. He takes a very small amount, 1/4 the 5mg tablet. > From: autism > Date: 2005/11/09 Wed AM 08:29:59 EST > autism > Subject: Digest Number 1258 > > > There are 5 messages in this issue. > > Topics in this digest: > > 1.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 The tenex made CB sleepy during the day at first. Its once a day for him half tab of 5mg. It is a used for him as a temporary tool in conjunction with a behavior plan and ABA therapy. CB was very aggressive in school and would pinch, kick and bite and run. We changed his school, ( Carousel ) which has been featured on 60 minutes ,tested him (skipped 2 grades) . That alone changed alot of behaviors. He is now extremely verbal 8 yr old in the 4th grade. The school is highly structured neuro typical. CB's teachers and his Dr's are ready to take him off the meds. For non verbal kids they use the rapid responce method with ASL. CB also has a best friend , a social group of boys he plays with . The school taught him HOW . I really believe its not the medication that has brought us to this lovely place.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Dear Barbara, I have the same problem - I can't even stand up long enough to wash a sink full of dishes. It is VERY irritating. The choir at church stands throughout their performance, not sitting between songs. So they just use risers, or simply line us up onstage. But one can ALWAYS tell where my spot is, b/c there's a stool there. I MUST sit between & often during songs. They are pretty cool about it, but I hate it. I, too, must use the grocery cart & pretty much keep moving. In big stores like Walmart, I use the motorized scooters, as I would end up fainting before I could get myself out of the store. I know that sounds extreme, but has anyone else in here either fainted or vomited from the pain? Just curious. Blessings, Carla Kay Ps. 96:1,3, & 4a Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples.

Yes, you may have a shorter or longer leg after the surgery, but my doctor has been great to get me the same length the first time, but this time my second leg is 4cm shorter than my other, but hey, shoe inserts work great and they don't cost an arm and leg. I would really advise you to go to a rehab for a couple of weeks with your first THR, I did and learned a lot and this time went straight home, but I had to have help. You really have to have help for several days or at least a week, not 24/7 but you need someone. I think my doctor told me there is a 30% chance of your hip coming out (my last one did) I never want that to happen again. It happened a couple of weeks out. THR are fairly easy, mine went great. Never any pain after surgery at all (with the exception of my hip coming out) and never any since. Haven't had anything since Dec 27, not even a tylenol. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Thanks Helen for the info! How did they get the dislocated hip back in the socket? Did you need another operation? I guess I'll have to hire someone to take me home and do errands at the store and house in the beginning.
