Re: NCC?/ LP done Jan 2011 . . have ??

,

I noticed you have low vit. D and would like to share with you an alternative

means of raising your vit D level!

For one reason or another my body at such a young age of 35 was at a hormonal

level as a 65 menopausal woman. After much research and many trial and

desperate attempts to help myself so my fusion of my neck would hold!

I found a holistic hormonal replacement that brought my levels into the world

of a 35 year old and one of absorbing vitamins my body naturally needs to

function on a basic level!

Look into: Body Logic MD.

I do know they have offices from cost to cost, but I personally drive 90mins to

see my local Body Logic MD doctor.

If this is not for you and or not along with your belief, I do not mean to

insult by any means. This is a very controversial topic and out of the box

method of sorts. I did everything before hand with a nutritionist and my pcp;

all of which confirmed my hormones where not at a normal level for someone my

age but my thyroid was fine.

Thus far the only side effect is more energy and my vit D level being in the

normal range.

As far as the flow study goes into our csf in a MRI, from what i remember, is

the space the flow has. But can only truly be measured by drilling into the

scull and actually being able to in put a value. And at only that time can they

truly measure the CSF pressure said to me by the doctor who put my shunt in;

Dr. Carmel of NJ.

I don't know if this is actually true but made since.

(He's a wonderful doctor for shunts)

I hope this bit of info helps!

Hi ,

Here is the conversion for the mmHg

cm water x 0.735 = mm Hg

mmHg x 1.36 = cm water

Hope that helps~

report. The tests on the spinal fluid were fine but the procedure report states

" The opening pressure was only 1mmHg. "

the causes of why it's low. And no one ever said anything. Any ideas on this?

Any ideas on how I should ask about it? And I also see it's measured in mmHg

and mm H2O. . Not sure I understand why or how to calculate to mm H20.

stuff is low, high, possible problem, not a problem? You know what I mean.
