Guest guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 lynn many forums are full of foolish people waiting for there docs to make smart suggestions. guess what, it ain't happening. actually worse is when there hearts are irreversably damaged because someone did nothing ten years earlier. > > In a message dated 8/12/05 2:55:33 AM Eastern Daylight Time, > dumbaussie2000@y... writes: > > So your using a > little psychology to keep him from being the guy making the > decisions after thinking about them himself- which never happens > > > very funny and true!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Right you are, Tony. One thing I was impressed in those dental studies (from my home state, you might note) was how they used needle aspirations frequently, and yet you can't get docs in the real world to do that. WHY? they're doing it in Dental school! It was the needle aspirations into my jaw that showed what the nasty bugs were (although you id'd the pseudomonas for me first, I think). Unfortunately, the only doc I could get to do the needle aspirate was my doctor friend who died from this same disease, and he did it because he understood. I'm sure the med school didn't report staph, etc., because they're considered contaminants from the oral cavity, which is ridiculous. If they'd just put their heads together with orthopedic surgeons who deal with bone infections in hips and feet, they'd realize that these staph are deadly, deadly enough to cause freqeunt amputation. All they'd have to do is culture them to figure that out. penny > > > > Hi Penny, > > > > thanx for your response. > > > > I spat them out on a kleenex last night and they're very > visible > > > today. > > > > They're crytall like and clear with a touch of shine to them, > > > kinda like snow > > > > when it first falls down in the winter, > > > > or white glitter sparkles, real weird.

That has been my experience.My guess is it is a good thing that it is draining. Hi Marie, I think it's a good thing too. but when I didn't have the containers it came out. Now that I have the containers it won't come out. So I just have to be patient. I'm guessing my forehead is cleaned out and maybe it'll take a few days for the brown stuff to be drawn in further like from my skull now or my cheek bones. lLynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 How about steaming your sinuses right before you need the sample. Steaming gets things moving for me.

I wo Hi tony, the weird thing is I can feel it being pulled from my forehead and then it pours like water dwon my throat and I had to cough it out through my mouth to see what it was. It comes from deep within somewhere.perhaps I have this all arounf my skull and sinuses. Right now I feel my cheek bones and eyebrow bones having the "pulling sensation on them. we'll see what will happen tonight. The thing about culturing, I have two lab containers. If anything does come out tonight, then I would have to cab it to my doctor's at 9 am to get him to fill out the requisition form. He just fills out sputum, so I don't know can they just check for general infections, or should I get him to write actinomyces, staph, strepto, what else? He 's not very knowledgeable but kind so medically I have to tell him the exact tests. It's unfortunate that I would have to get the actomyces cultured within 15 min, but maybe somehitng will be observed in the lab and that's a first step.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Barb It may sound good over here, but on experimental if you try and get them off there arse and show anger towards there doctors, they jump on you like jack rabbits. I just basically think giving mega bucks to wafflers instead of getting both hands on your ilness and taking part in it's direction and diagnosis is a long time ill. tony > > > > > > In a message dated 8/12/05 2:55:33 AM Eastern Daylight Time, > > > dumbaussie2000@y... writes: > > > > > > So your using a > > > little psychology to keep him from being the guy making the > > > decisions after thinking about them himself- which never happens > > > > > > > > > very funny and true!
