Guest guest Posted August 6, 1999 Report Share Posted August 6, 1999 As to the subject of teeth...I seem to live at the dentist for the past 3 years. It is a constant cleaning, filling new cavitys , had a few root cannals , two caps.....now my dentist has made a mold and is going to have me do weekly floride treatment at home. The gel he gave me to use at PM didn't do it. It is just another one of those lovely side effects from liver disease..and the same thing which makes us loose bone mass........ sigh.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2000 Report Share Posted January 3, 2000 Hi All- Just a note about the fatigue issue. We all react differently, but I have found that the more active I am the better my days go. Mind you it is a real struggle some times, but it really does pay off. I think part of it is that it forces me to forget about my " condition " for a while. I am on combo plus a handful of alternatives (including milk thistle) and in my 4th week. That may also be part of it. I hear that some folks don't get hit by the sides until a bit later on. But, I've been pretty amazed at my energy level. Sometimes I feel better than I did before I started treatment. Anyway, there is an herbal product out there called schizandra that is supposed to help with HCV and fatigue. I do not claim to be a doc or anything like that so don't run right out and buy this until you've spoken with your doctors. The best of luck to all and have a healthy new year.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2000 Report Share Posted January 12, 2000 Renate have you thought about seeing a naturopathic doctor? Just wondering cause they (doctors) kept telling my parents that there was nothing wrong with them. My mother my freshman year of high school had candasis so bad that she was on crutches because she could barely walk on her own, the doctor that she was seeing at the time misdiagnosed her with rheumotid arthritis, which she didn't have. My father was on multiple different inhalers to try and control what the doctor told him was reoccuring bacterial/viral pneumonia, when in fact what he actually had was chemical pneumonia that was brought on by the candidia. My parents finally got fed up with being told that nothing was wrong with them by the doctor so they finally went to a naturopath and were told that they had candidia. So, now they don't go to a doctor anymore because they wouldn't listen when they tried telling the doctor that something was wrong with them. Personally I don't blame them especially after having gone and been misdiagnosed with a panic/anxiety attack when in fact what I had and even told the nurse practioner that I had pneumonia she just ignored me. She didn't even want to give me anything to help me be able to breathe either. She finally gave me a breathing treatment, which helped, and a prescription for abueterol. The next day I was feeling even worse still, so my parents took me to their naturopath who actually listened to me and told me in fact that I was right that I had pneumonia again, and gave me the proper treatment that I needed so I could get over it once and for all.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2000 Report Share Posted January 12, 2000 Lamisil is only good if the skin problem that you have is a fungus. As well you MUST use it consecutively for a month to see any results. I have a tube of it here and for me it did nothing. This summer I found this wierd patch on my left leg. One doctor said it was nothing.. could not even see it. Another said it was a cyst under the skin, another said it was a parrasite and yet another said it was a fungus and I needed Lamisil. Well, It is still there. Made the dermetologist take a sampling of it. This is done by scraping the skin. Dumb specialist had to be asked to do this simple procedure.. Shocking. Just dont want anything that can be passed on to the kids. Anyhow.. it came back as nothing. So the skin pigment change stays and the lamisil stays in the cupboard. It is a great product when used for the right condition. It is very potent. BUT remember.. no results are visible they say for a month. a SenoritaRita1@... wrote: > > From: SenoritaRita1@... > > In a message dated 01/11/2000 7:43:02 AM Central Standard Time, > candidiasisonelist writes: > > > Lamisil > Nascar I wanted to let you know That Lamisil is one of the best > things I > have used on my skin.If you use it daily you will see > results. > Rita P>S> I have > tried > Lots of different creams.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2000 Report Share Posted March 6, 2000 Hi Sheryl and any other insurance wranglers, I did not have success with my former company. The harder you fight the more likely you can get it (squeaky wheel theory). My present ins co said they only cover speech therapy in the case of an accident where speech is affected and needs to come back. They do cover physical therapy. So Lori said she can make a case for oral motor therapy being like physical /occupational therapy. Yes her rates are high but she is a wonder. See what you can work out. Try to get to the head of the ins department, speak to the doctors rather than just the phone answerers. love to all from Debbi and Logan 5 1/2 Eli (DS) and Milo, 3 1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2001 Report Share Posted June 10, 2001 Hannah,I just read your letter and always wondered if anyone in our situations home schooled?In my situation,I am a stay at home mom and to home school would be such a determent to my son.He has thrived so much in a school situation and has learned so much that I don't want to rock the boat.I am lucky for him this is the best situation,but if it wasn't we couldn't afford private therapy,which our insurance only pays for 20 visits in a six month period,he has 6 sessions of speech and OT a week. I would never send him to a private school because they cannot handle any special needs kids. I guess I would have to home school too. Good luck.I find everyone's situation very interesting and am so glad they have found what works for them.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I had a lot of nerve pain in both legs. It would vary from leg to leg and didn't seem to make much sense. I would wake up a night with cramps in my calf muscles. My MRI showed a bulging disc that eventually ruptured. I also had a degenerate disc at L5-S1. This is the same disc that ruptured. I went through all of the epidural pain shots, etc. I got tired of all the temporary relief suggestions. You get your hopes up that this procedure might actually help and they hardly ever do. My doctor said surgery was the only way to permanently remove the pain and he was right. Turns out I had a large bone spur (the size of my doctor's thumb) was also pinching my nerve that did not show on the MRI. He had to chisel it off my back. The recovery was long, but I have to say I am much better today. I do have days where I feel a little sciatic pain, but nothing compared to before surgery. I am glad that I went through with the surgery (fusion and laminectomy). I was 39 when I had it done. Tish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
