Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 Terese, I'm so glad you go in for an MRI so quickly. Did you request the head one yet? You might want to see if they can do both at the same time, while he's sedated, so he doesn't have to go through that twice. Bedwetting is so embarrassing. I didn't wet the bed as much as I wet my pants when I laughed hard, until I was an adult. It was horrible. And of course, my sister is quite the comedienne, so any time she was around, I had to be very careful! I hope they can come up with an answer. Children's Hospital is supposed to be awesome. I live in PA too, had my surgeries done at Geisinger in Danville. LOVE them! It's nice to have so many options so close to home. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Hi Kelli, My cousin had the bladder prolapse. She could touch hers too. She had surgery to have it repaired. She has not had any trouble since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Hope they work for you. They have helped to keep me out of the doc's office many times and probably for many years. A couple I have found to be helpful are Percogesic and Mobigesic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Amy one thing about stills and some of the meds we use including prednisone and MTX along with others. They can some times cause or intensify depression. This is some thing you should talk to your doctor about. I know for my sef I was having a hard time dealing with the depression of MTX and some thing going on if life. every one will fight some depression in life that is a given for me it became more then I could seam to deal with at the time . talking to my doctor she gave me some what I like to call happy pills and let me tell you they helped big time . I still get depressed now and then but it is more in Waves then a massive over all feeling that never go's away as before. I feel more normal now. before stills I did not get any more depressed then any so called normal person but after stills it seamed to happen a lot and that is also when life made some big changes for me also and some were not good at all in fact most . I dealt with some deaths and the lose of a marriage and my kids at the time along with the male mind set of not being able to work any more. any way after the happy pills I again was forced to face a death this tie of my sister who I was as close as any twin could be with out being twins we were like two peas in a pod just about . any way her death was not easy on me and came very suddenly because of an autoimmune illness also but this time I could deal with it more normal . yes tears and getting down but as I said in waves were before I could not the deaths then were my father in law who was as close to me as my own father had been. then a month later it was my grandmother. I am telling you this all because I believe you to may be able to find some of it a help in some way for your self . if you would like to talk you can e mail me privately if you want so tell hugs the rednecks Marty & G. the redneck's my space http://www.myspace.com/martyg58 To learn about Stills Disease http://www.stillsdisease.org/stills_info For conservitive minded people http://www.americac2c.org " If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.
