Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Sorry I have been in the hospital this week and am just catching up with the email. I was told NOT to take tylenol ever. It was the worst thing for the liver. Has anyone else heard that also. The not sleeping is horrible! Again......hugs Lyncia > > First, untreated pain is a medical emergency. Second, if he is taking medicine for pain on a regular basis, and it is prescribed by a doctor, he should NOT suddenly stop the drug,. It could make him very sick. The doctors should be talking to each other via letters called clinic notes. I dont know anything about hep c treatment, but I have never heard of this before. It sounds very very fishy. You are saying tht she said no treatment until he stops taking all of his prescribed medication. They didnt tell him beforhand? usually they have you fill out a form with all medications on it, finding out that a patient is taking a certain med from a toxicology report sounds more like a criminal investigation than medicine. It seem to me that these folks should #1 know what he is taking, > #2 advise him what he can and cannot take during treatment, > #3 talk to his family doctor to see if that doctor is doing something which might interfere with the other doctrs. #4 not drop Bobby thru the cracks and let him suffer from pain. This is Vandy you are taking about? I might be getting confused. Please help m,e. I had a rough weekend, so I might be getting Bobby Glen mixed up with another member./ Love Bobby > > long life, old age, everything good-Apache prayer > > > > ugggggggg > > > > > > ok no letter ,so i called said it was mailed yesterday huh? what > the > > heck happened to monday!! asses, so i talked to a nurse cried and > she > > told me this much... his tests showed asprin, sleeping med. > > tylenol,and pain med ,lortab from the family dr. for pain, so hes > not > > gonna be considered for another 6 months till his system is clear > > from these meds. and i dont understand what do they want him to do > > for sleeping for pain??? i tried to ask her other ?s but she said i > > would have to wait for the report and i should have it by monday as > > well as the family dr. and hep dr..,she said it was avery lenghty > > detailed letter, so like that makes me feel anybetter ,now i wished > i > > hadnt called!!i dont think they are gonna be able to help him ,what > > then. we have done EVERYTHING all the drs. have asked of us, they > > perscibed the meds. what the hell. ok yeah i am pissed guys, 6 > months > > what do they know i dont. i guess i will find out soon, like this > > will help me sleep better NOT ,sorry ranting, jhow could 1 dr. give > > him something that was gonna stop him from getting treatment!!? ? > do > > they not think or not care??!! omg this is crazy, she said he > stated > > he didnt want him driving or operating heavy equipment because of > his > > apparent confusion? so what next, at work he drives is on ladders > in > > lifts, if he satys home more than he does he'd go crazy, hes a > > man ,he loves working, what...ok barby stop honey calm down wait > for > > the stupid stupid letter., this is crazy i wished i hadnt called ,i > > should have been still and waited instead of only getting a couple > > tidbids.i wanna go slap his dr. in his face !!!! this is my husband > > damit my husband and he stopped us dead in our tracks.ok i need to > > cry throw something and just feel sorry for myself and bobby for > > awhile. better to get it out of my system before i tell him this, > its > > gonna be a long day for sure much love barby > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I have also went thru the 3 day evaluation and received a letter from the transplant team that I was on the transplant list and " On hold " (my meld is 19) until I had a renal biopsy (I have less that 40% functioning kidneys along with the liver failure) and they had me meet with a physcoligist (sp??) but now need to see a phychiatrist for anti-depressants. Lyncia Subject: Re: ugggggggg To: livercirrhosissupport Date: Wednesday, September 24, 2008, 2:08 PM we went thru 3 days of evaluations including psychiatric evaluation. we then had to get an approval as to if he would be a candidate when the time came. his meld score has to be a certain number before he gets on the list. 18 i think is what the university of Alabama does. it may be a national number but varies greatly depending on variables like hcc ect... i don't let my family doc prescribe any thing to my husband unless the hep doctors approve...we also do not use Tylenol or like products since they are metabolized thru the liver. if he gets a colds or flu i am very careful with what cold meds i give him as to not raise his BP. we go to UAB in nov... he is being checked for the possible development of HCC. the way his numbers were moving we suspected that without HCC he would most likly be placed on the list next year, but with hcc it will probably be sooner...that is if he has it. i ain't claiming nothing that the Lord has not given us. ugggggggg > > > > > > ok no letter ,so i called said it was mailed yesterday huh? what > the > > heck happened to monday!! asses, so i talked to a nurse cried and > she > > told me this much... his tests showed asprin, sleeping med. > > tylenol,and pain med ,lortab from the family dr. for pain, so hes > not > > gonna be considered for another 6 months till his system is clear > > from these meds. and i dont understand what do they want him to do > > for sleeping for pain??? i tried to ask her other ?s but she said i > > would have to wait for the report and i should have it by monday as > > well as the family dr. and hep dr..,she said it was avery lenghty > > detailed letter, so like that makes me feel anybetter ,now i wished > i > > hadnt called!!i dont think they are gonna be able to help him ,what > > then. we have done EVERYTHING all the drs. have asked of us, they > > perscibed the meds. what the hell. ok yeah i am pissed guys, 6 > months > > what do they know i dont. i guess i will find out soon, like this > > will help me sleep better NOT ,sorry ranting, jhow could 1 dr. give > > him something that was gonna stop him from getting treatment!!? ? > do > > they not think or not care??!! omg this is crazy, she said he > stated > > he didnt want him driving or operating heavy equipment because of > his > > apparent confusion? so what next, at work he drives is on ladders > in > > lifts, if he satys home more than he does he'd go crazy, hes a > > man ,he loves working, what...ok barby stop honey calm down wait > for > > the stupid stupid letter., this is crazy i wished i hadnt called ,i > > should have been still and waited instead of only getting a couple > > tidbids.i wanna go slap his dr. in his face !!!! this is my husband > > damit my husband and he stopped us dead in our tracks.ok i need to > > cry throw something and just feel sorry for myself and bobby for > > awhile. better to get it out of my system before i tell him this, > its > > gonna be a long day for sure much love barby > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I am sorry you were in the hospital this week. I wish I had known. I would have called you or at least said a prayer. You must have been bored. I was in the hospital for a week last year. I got " lactulose poisoning " (pneumatosis coli). It is extremely rare,when nitrogen bubbles invade the lining of the colon, and the treatment is bedrest with 100 percent oxygen for several days. long life, old age, everything good-Apache prayer ugggggggg > > > > > > ok no letter ,so i called said it was mailed yesterday huh? what > the > > heck happened to monday!! asses, so i talked to a nurse cried and > she > > told me this much... his tests showed asprin, sleeping med. > > tylenol,and pain med ,lortab from the family dr. for pain, so hes > not > > gonna be considered for another 6 months till his system is clear > > from these meds. and i dont understand what do they want him to do > > for sleeping for pain??? i tried to ask her other ?s but she said i > > would have to wait for the report and i should have it by monday as > > well as the family dr. and hep dr..,she said it was avery lenghty > > detailed letter, so like that makes me feel anybetter ,now i wished > i > > hadnt called!!i dont think they are gonna be able to help him ,what > > then. we have done EVERYTHING all the drs. have asked of us, they > > perscibed the meds. what the hell. ok yeah i am pissed guys, 6 > months > > what do they know i dont. i guess i will find out soon, like this > > will help me sleep better NOT ,sorry ranting, jhow could 1 dr. give > > him something that was gonna stop him from getting treatment!!? ? > do > > they not think or not care??!! omg this is crazy, she said he > stated > > he didnt want him driving or operating heavy equipment because of > his > > apparent confusion? so what next, at work he drives is on ladders > in > > lifts, if he satys home more than he does he'd go crazy, hes a > > man ,he loves working, what...ok barby stop honey calm down wait > for > > the stupid stupid letter., this is crazy i wished i hadnt called ,i > > should have been still and waited instead of only getting a couple > > tidbids.i wanna go slap his dr. in his face !!!! this is my husband > > damit my husband and he stopped us dead in our tracks.ok i need to > > cry throw something and just feel sorry for myself and bobby for > > awhile. better to get it out of my system before i tell him this, > its > > gonna be a long day for sure much love barby > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 What chaps my rear end is this. I know a neredewell that stepped of a ladder about 25 years ago, said he twisted his back, and has been on Oxy for years upon years. Says he is in chronic pain but if I hadn't worked a day in 25 years and weighed 500 lbs...my stuff would hurt as well. He never misses a day of deep sea fishing though. There is nothing wrong with a persons back when they can pull a 70lb Grouper out of 300ft of water. He was so obese his shoes would squash out to the sides. He would crunch furniture and mash commodes. Not long before he moved out of State....Thank God, I had to drop by and ask him for some GPS numbers on some good fishing holes. All he did was complain about his knee and how he had to get his quack to up his pain meds. After I had heard enough I looked at him said, “You don't have water on the knee, you got fat azz on the knee...if I tried to prop a Volkswagon up on popcycle sticks something has got to give and my money is on the Volkswagon.” He got madder than scratch hen with a hangnail. OTOH, a person can show up at the hosp. with ESLD swelled up and in agony and get offered heartburn medicine. It has happened to me twice. Although rare for me it has happened. Go figure? Subject: Re: ugggggggg To: livercirrhosissupport Date: Wednesday, September 24, 2008, 7:01 PM I want to be very clear--- I don't know if thats what they are thinking. I am merely telling you my experience with a doctor ( a fellow in the CU hepatology department) whom was obviously biased in favor of not aggressively treating pain. My own hepatologist, however, who is this other doctor's professor just shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes when I complained about her to him. He is practically the one who suggested that I seek help from a pain specialist, and when I had a very painful complication last summer, he recommended that the pain doctor put me on something stronger and longer acting. The key here is to find out why what was said was said, and then you can decide what to do.
