isn't it 8p = 1a? also, the U.S. is on Eastern Daylight Time right now, but

England has British Summer Time, I believe, so the +5 hour time difference

should be constant.

That's right. We are now on BST (British Summer Time) which is one hour

different to GMT. I was working in GMT to avoid confusion..... Oh

well.....

Guess I will be on there from midnight my time and see what happens.

This is for ENVoilet,

I had major problems with my teeth from 9 -13

months into treatments, from getting 3 teeth pulled to 2 root canals, except

for the pain, there was no more bleeding than any other person. It has

something to do with the meds. It seems what ever pain you have when you do

either the shots or pills, still can't figure out which one, It makes the

pain triple than what it would normally have been. Well, that has been my

experience. I have taken care of my teeth now, and they have not bothered me

once. I did not have any [problems with my teeth before I went on the combo,

but after, it did destroy some of my teeth. hope I helped

Have you tried having him spit into the lenses of the goggles and

spreading the spit over the lenses. this is a trick divers use to keep

their lenses from fogging up when we dive and body heat causes our lenses

to fog up. Don't know if it will work in a high steam enviornment but I

hope this works

I had two experiences when grinding rust off a car I was rebuilding and

welding, in that even though I was using safety goggles the small

ventilation/ anti-misting holes did let in rust particles, and on two

seperate occasions I had to have them removed by a doctor at the eye

hospital, as the rust forming due to the metal embedded in the eye surface

can cause serious damage. I took to wearing the safety goggles with gauze

taped over the holes to trap particles and a full face shield. May be

extreme but eyes are too precious to risk.

May not help but it is a factor to think about

All the best to everyone for Christmas.

Hi Bill,

I have been informed by experienced vendors onboard that the wearing of an

Air Hood with a breathing apparatus compressor is the best way to tackle

this problem. I am assured that the wearing of climbing helmets can be worn

with these hoods. Using positive pressurisation should solve the problem.

Have a merry Xmas everyone.

Hi all

The Fire Service use a product called 'Fogoff' (yeh, I know!) to keep the

large viewing panel of chemical protection suits clear of condensation. It

works well.

You just spray it on or use a wipe. It comes in small packets (ohh, Matron!)

so it is easy to keep in your pocket.

Sorry this is late but, Happy Christmas & good health & happiness for the

new year!

Hey Raf, are you in the 12-step program? I am. Don't worry about your biopsy results cause it won't help right now. My prayers go out to you and yes, I love the serenity prayer. I had to say it like a million times yesterday (my mom was here). I love her to death but boy, does she push my buttons. Nice to have you in the group.

Great news Dz. You have made is so far and I know first hand how tough it is. I have so much energy now and am so much more focused that I don't know how to handle it. Also making up for all that eating I didn't do on treatment. When I look back now, I can see how much the meds really did me in. I guess cause you just accept the way you feel it doesn't seem that bad. No more waking up with sweats, fever, naseauated, headache, leg cramps all the time (still a little), shortness of breath (still there sometimes) and I do still get dehydrated but my doc thinks this is normal. (lasting side effects). Anyhow, I hope all had a great thanksgiving and those who don't celebrate that holiday, just a great, peaceful day.

I'm glad to hear that your energy level has improved.

I know what you mean, I'm just used to feeling this

way now, it seems normal. I now do most of my reading

anywhere between 1-3am, when I wake up I don't even

try to fall back asleep again, because I know better.

I take a half a xanax and read for an hour and then

I'm usually ready to go back to sleep. I'll be glad to

sleep through the night again. -dz-

Glad to hear that you are feeling better. I only have a couple of months left and hope to be feeling better myself.

Hi Robin,

I am definately not an expert on the Halo since my son is in a cast and not the Halo. The Halo is used on much more severe cases of Scoliosis.

was put in his 1st cast a month ago and has been doing great in it. The only thing he can't do is sit on the floor because he topples over. He is only 10 months old though. I am not sure about your insurance since all companies are different. We have another parent from Tx. who is traveling to Salt Lake City to have her daughters 1st cast applied at the end of this month. She had no luck in Texas, not even with the Shriners there. Alot of us go to see Dr. D'Astous at Shriners in Utah, also Dr. in Erie. Pa. does this. Shriners Hospitals are free so you are not required to pay, and if you would like to pay you c

[Guest guest]

I was saying...

you could always donate to the hospital. We did.

I know it would be an inconveince, but is is for such a short time. She can always swim next summer.

So, what is your child's diagnosis? Did they say it was idiopathic or Congenital?

Hi,

Just wanted to offer input in a few things and also ask a question.

1. Spina bifida OCCULTA is NOT the same as spina bifida. Many people

without tethered cords have spina bifida occulta and it is either not

detected or not symptomatic of anything. However, spina bifida occulta can

be one of many symptoms associated with a tethered cord. It doesn't have

anything to do with not having enough folic acid - that is the regular spina

bifida. If you want more info on this, let me know but I just felt I had to

clear up that info.

2. Surgery to release the cord may cause scar tissue that can cause the

cord to tether again - there is a certain percentage of kids who

're-tether'. I can't remember the percentage, but new techniques in surgery

can minimize this.

Now for my question:

We are just learning about casting as an alternative to bracing. I would

love to hear people's experiences regarding this. We are first sorting out

whether our daughter has a tethered cord or not (her MRI is exactly in the

'gray zone' - ultrasound and SSEP testing were normal, so we are waiting 6

months to repeat her MRI and see if positioning has changed - so far, no

symptoms). She wears a TLSO 23 hours per day - with no compliance problems.

She just turned 6. She has a 37-degree curve and an in-brace correction to

16-degrees.

Please tell me what you think about it - where you have it done - does

insurance consider this 'experimental'. I am very interested to learn that

there is movement in the brace - the open stomach is awesome. However, my

daughter is a big swimmer - and I realize that would definitely have to go

if we chose this route. Does any one know any doctors in the Houston, TX

area that knows about casting? And, does this casting also come with halo's

bolted to the head? It seems there are 2 different (or more) kinds of

casting to treat scoliosis - can someone help us differentiate among them?

Thanks!

Robin

Wheldon's Site:

http://www.davidwheldon.co.uk/ms-treatment.html

There is a downloadable pdf summary of the treatment

regime here also.

Is there some way to put it in the links section of

this list's site?

Jim

[Guest guest]

Thanks so much Jim,

Ironically I have seen Wheldon's wife's work before

when doing a search on art. An interesting site. I did

not know that Wheldon was also an author and a poet.

If you remember I am on the Stratton protocol. I

wonder why my Doc is perscribing amoxicillin instead

of doxy. I am going to ask him.

My progress is slow. I have intermittent bouts of

severe illness. Feels like I am dying when this

happens. Stress seems to be involved. I don't know if

it is herx, porphyrines or something else. Also I am

having a lot of trouble with candida. I was interested

to see that some people have a decrease of candida as

the immune system is given a break by antibiotics.

Hope this happens soon for me. I keep going back to

square one and ramping up. Have only been able to get

up to using Flagyl one time. I think the Doc is

frustrated with me but I have to listen to my body and

slow down when I reach a certain threshold of

tolerance.

Thanks for keeping us informed about the

Wheldon/Stratton protocol.
