Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 This message is for . I am on Lortab for the pain in my crumbling spine. Also on neuron tin for the neuropathy in my feet. Lortab does not kill the pain totally-but I can function. Neuron tin does help with the neuropathy in my feet. It was so bad before the Neuron tin. I could not have covers over my feet at night they hurt and had that horrible burning sensation 24/7. Neurotoxin has made this bearable also. I am not diabetic. The Docs say it is all coming from damaged lower spine. Hope this helps you. The combination has made my life bearable. All prescribed by a Pain Management Specialist. I thank GOD that I am living in a day that such specialties exist. Like Rheumatologists and Orthopedic Doc's(As if RA+Osteoarthritis,both knees replaced,Lumbar stenosis and a congenital defect in the spine wasn't enough fun to cope with!) Hope you have a pain free day..... Louise [ ] Digest Number 3530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an indicator, I can tell you that Kaiser Permanente will not authorize bone density tests more often than two years apart. I had a second bone density test three years after my first one. The first test indicated severe osteoporosis. The second showed only osteopenia. However, my GI believes the improvement was due to my having been diagnosed with celiac disease and following the appropriate treatment for it. Can you explain Stage 3 of AIH? I'm not sure what you mean. Regarding fatigue: Palmer's book and Worman's book and other sources indicate that fatigue goes with liver disease, and the severity of the fatigue doesn't necessarily reflect the severity of the disease.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Dear Elli, I'm not sure which of your meds might affect your perms but the hairstylists say they definitely show up in the hair. I'm lucky enough to be able to just go with a bob cut and leave it be. My dr. said that I would be tested every two years for bone density. I'm not sure the norm when on Fosomax. Tired, tired, tired - my life's story. First double check with the dr. that your numbers haven't changed. If you're tired in somewhat incoherent, let the dr. know because they may want to check your ammonia levels. Otherwise, see if you can get 30 minutes to rest at work - your dr. may request that and get lots of rest when you are home - tireds are one of the most difficult things to deal with. Good luck, Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Avocado Oil has a higher smoke point, so it's also good for cooking. nevertheless, coconut oil is the most versatile and the most healthiest of all oils Zal On Mar 31, 2011, at 3:19 AM, Coconut Oil wrote: > Re: VCO and throat irritation > Posted by: " surenirukulla " surenirukulla@... surenirukulla > Wed Mar 30, 2011 1:36 pm (PDT) > > > > Try using CO in cooking.

My concern is the fact that when I eat it it seems to irritate my throat. I looked in the archives and found a post about it being rancid when it does this but the batch was made in January 11 good until January 12 so I can't see that being an issue. I thought it might be because I have type O blood but then a friend (not O) tried some and immediately coughed and said it caught in her throat. Does anyone have an explanation or a solution? I tried it in tea but really didn't like it that way. Besides discomfort is there any risk with the irritation? a > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
