t IS a big deal to me, because the hospital she went to is the same

hospital that I will have to go to if I end up going to the hospital for

this birth. I have to wonder what is the likelihood of the nurses giving

my baby a shot before asking for consent....? And when (if) they ask me

to sign consent forms for the shot, if it has ALREADY been given, and I

refuse to consent..well, will they just deny ever giving the

shot?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hi Janet,

Did you (she) sign anything when you entered the hospital? Don't they

want

you to 'register' before you are admitted? I wonder if it was in that

contract somewhere? Just a thought...

the peace of thy children. Isaiah 53:13

Why not have the baby at home?It is never to late to have a home birth,and it

is so peaceful compared to a hospital birth.This way there is no need to

worry about who is possibly giving your baby a shot,bottle,and so on.It's

just you,dh,dd,and a midwife if you want one.Giving birth isn't as difficult

as doctors make you think it is.

Hi again Geri:

Thanks for the numbers. I find it so interesting the different ways that

these things are done from state to state. The test I had was like the first

one that you had. Was the second one you had done like a regular CT scan, or

did it seem to be the same type of equipment they used for the first one? I

agree with you that it would be difficult to make a comparison using your

first test and your second test. My first one was in Dec. of 97 and was done

at the same lab so that they had the pictures of that first one to compare it

to.

Note: The World Heath Organization are the ones who established the general

diagnostic categories based on Bone Mass Density measurements. The

guidelines for what is considered normal, osteopenia and osteoporosis.

I'm glad to hear that you stopped the Fosomax. It seemed to be much more

trouble than it was worth. Thanks again for the info.

Kathy,

Two different bone density measuring procedures were performed, so it's a

little like comparing apples and oranges. These are the only bone density

tests I've ever had so I don't know anything about them to compare them,

but three different doctors have now told me that you can't compare the

measurements because different techniques were used. You can only compare

the impressions of the results. Whatever they say was what called for

Fosamax. Which, incidentally, I stopped on my own today. They're going to

have to come up with something less toxic - and I suspect this stuff is.

Anyhow, here is what I have:

Scripps: 3/19/98 - NM Bone Density

Technique: Bone mineral densitomety of spine. Dual energy x-ray absorption

performed.

Findings: The bone mineral density in the lubar spine measured at the 1.2-4

level is 1.208 g/cm2. This places the patient at 101% (I mis-remembered

that it was 102%) of the normal value for young female adults which is

0.07 standard deviations above the mean normal for young adult females and

is indicative of no increased fracture risk in comparison to that group.

This is also 120% of the expected value for age, sex, weight and ethnic

group matched controls which is 1.64 standard deviations above the mean

normal for the control group.

CT Bone Density,Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging, Las Vegas 6/23/99

Procedure: UCSF phantom was employed. Six vertebral levels were sampled.

Two scout radiographs were obtained.

Findings: The patient's mean bone density is 83.9 mg per cc. Age matched

normal is 97.5 per cc. The patient is 0.5 standard deviations below the

norm for her age (Z-score -0.52). The patient is 3.3 standard deviations

below the norm for age 30 (T-score -3.25). The patient is below the

fracture threshold and is at a moderate risk for the future development for

osteoporotic compression deformities.

Impression:

1.The patient demonstrates evidence of osteoporosis and is within one

standard deviation below the norm for her age. The patient is below the

fracture threshold and is at moderate risk for the future development

of osteoporotic compression deformities.

2. Scout digital radiographs demonstrate degenerative changes with

scoliosis convexity to the right.

Just about no one argues with Scripp's diagnostic techniques. They are

world renown for their research into bone disease incidentally and have top

equipment. Steinberg Diagnostic is also excellent and has only the newest

and best equipment. Much " glossier " than Scripps. Scripps referred me to

them. But they do use different types of bone density tests. I don't know

about the World Health Organization but I'd assume they both meet worldwide

medical standards. What it all adds up to is significant bone density loss

in a year and a half and all three doctors (the Rheumatologist and two

Hepatologists) agree that I now have early osteoporosis.

Take care,

Geri

If you're looking for a tandem bike for a child, you can't do better than an

Trail-A-Bike. It attaches to a regular bicycle very easily, rides

beautifully and looks totally cool. I got one for my 7-year-old (with CMT1A)

as a aid to help her learn how to ride a bike. Now she peddles her own bike

but still loves to ride with me on the tandem. You can see the bike at

Hi everyone

I used to ride my bike everywhere when I was a teen.

In recent years, it got more and more difficult for me

to ride it. For my 40th birthday, my fiance bought a

Tandem Bike for me. It is just wonderful. I ride on

the back. I may not have the leg strength that I used

to, but I can at least move my legs on the pedals, and

enjoy the ride.

If anyone loves to bicycle and loves being

outdoors...I would highly recommend a Tandem. Besides,

it gives you some great quality time with your

honey!!!

As for the Holistic treatments, I TOTALLY recommend deep tissue

massage. After my massages, I feel 10 pounds lighter and MUCH less

pain. I am going to be trying an acupuncturist soon as well. Also, I

stretch at the end of the day (too painful in the morning) annd it seems

to keep the blood flowing for me, and it is easier to walk.

Dear Dr. Conroy

Would you be kind enough to list the ingredients in Thyrodine? I have

tried many natural products in the past 10 years and would like to check the

specific ingredients out for myself before ordering this product..

Thank you

You're like myself in that case then... out like a light before you

know what's happening ... (or just as you figure it out)...therefore,

would it be safe to assume your ICD isn't set to pace you out of V-

tach but to ZAP you instead? ... that's how mine is programed ...

right to the good stuff I've also been told by my EP to

drive " limitedly " .

I to try not to worry 'bout my pulse, it's so irractic ... (numerous

PVCs)... trying to take it just makes me more anxious, thereby adding

stress to the already stressful situation.

> Joe - Like , I usually pass out before being zapped. I had

to go six months without losing consciousness before I was allowed to

drive. I've now only been zapped once in the last almost three years

(and never while driving) , so I don't worry about it and driving

much. I still do not drive on the freeway though; my own limitation

is a speed limit of 40 or less.

>

> And Stephi, I work at NOT knowing my pulse. I figure it would just

scare me. I have about half a second of warning before passing out -

not even enough time to get to a chair, so it wouldn't help me while

driving.

Hi everyone -

What bugs me more than the fish odor is the oily residue left on my sippee

cups. What I usually do is buy the 4 ounce juicy juice boxes, poke the

straw through, squirt a tiny bit out and then poke a pin in the tip of the

Pro EFA and squirt it in the hole of the juice box. That way you throw out

anything the oil touches and don't have cups sitting around with fish oil on

them. Hope that helps!

That's what we're here for, Ada. We all came into this

learned from each other. I intend to still be lurking

about in 6 months and hope to share a similar report.

Sorry I can't give you any professional advice, but I am rather new doing NF

with my 8.5 yr old daughter. Just wanted to share that she too gets itchy

all over when I lower the Hz. I'd love to know why.

I didn't notice any big changes in my DD until 10-15 sessions really. It

took awhile. She is still very easily frustrated and explosive with her

anger. I've been told that takes awhile. But we have seen many, many

wonderful improvements overall.

Are you sure you aren't eating different things now that you don't need to

worry about aggravating the gall bladder? Just a thought.

One of my customers shared the idea of a watermelon limeade with me so I went to Google to find a recipe to share. I tried it with half frozen and half fresh watermelon - quite refreshing! (if you use a miracle berry you don't have to add any sugar!!!)

You can do this with lemon or lime and you can also do it with grapes instead of watermelon. The lady who trained me in Vitamix does a delicious pink lemonade with red grapes and lemon.

Hey there Bette - 3-4 cups of red grapes and half of a lemon peeled and a cup or so of ice (or, you can use frozen grapes instead of ice). Simple and delicious!
