Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Patty You are welcome. I collected tons and tons of information for about 8 years. I was going to write a book ........" Behind Closed Doors" the truth doctors hide behind ........ I have lots of things I am not suposed to. I was so angry at how I was treated and what all I went thru with the silicone and the rupture, I was ready to snag them by the balls. I actually had some hate in there. This is why I decided to not write the book at the time. I knew that this was not me, and I didnt want to be a part of hate. So, I boxed it all up, and set it aside. The truths still need to be told, but in an educational manner, or a story manner, not with hate in my heart. I no longer have that hate, I just dont know how I want to approach it.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Yes, we need a person who does not attack other countries; does not cause a further class divide; is pro-labor; has a health plan that does not further enrich insurance companies; does something about education, the environment, does not shred the Constitution nor try to turn this country into a theocracy etc...

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I was on the injectable and the pill form of MTX. I had to take folic acid everyday to prevent the hair falling out and all the other side effects of it. I recently stopped taking the injectable MTX about 2 weeks ago because I didn't see a difference with it. I still see no difference. Even with the MTX my hands still ached along with other joints. I have just gotten a new pain though right under my breasts where the rib cage is. It sometimes pops and that is when it is at its worse.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 When the Quack took me off anti-inflammatories and almost everything else, and increased my MTX to 1.2cc, he and his nurse missed telling me to up my Folic Acid because of the increase of MTX. My whole mouth was hurting and my tongue swelled until it was almost impossible to talk. When I mentioned it here, I was advised to up my Folic, and when I questioned the nurse, she said, " of course, you need to increase it! " I began 5mg per day and about 4 years later, I'm still taking 2-3mg per day and my tongue is still not working right. I suppose it never will because of that damage.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 CLynn ~ Yes, the appointment was bittersweet...........but more bitter than sweet. He didnt ask me about any symptoms I have, and I am more concerned about stomach cancer, than I am the lungs, although I smoked 36 years ! smoke free 3 years ! Anyway, on the pet scan, it says it looks like I do have gastric malignancy, unless we rule it out. The endoscope I had was 16 months ago. I do have all the symptoms of stomach cancer besides jaundice and weight loss. I am nausiated most the time, I bloat tons weather I eat alittle or I eat a normal amount. Like 6 to 8 inches of bloating, I have measured my belly ! ! I have extreme fatigue, and lately about the last 6-8 weeks I have started having sort of indigestion every single day, about 3-4 hours after I eat, usually after dinner time, I have had about 3-4 nose bleeds the last month to 6 weeks, I get sick like hot sweats, that just dampen me, like the kind you get when you are sick and gonna have vomiting or diarrhea. For about 6 weeks or so, I have to burp alot. I do have a moderate to severe hiatle hernia, but have had it for several years now, so this is different. I also bleed often when I go potty, and often have pepper looking or coffee grain looking stuff in there. I go often too, and every day it starts in the middle of the night or early morning, 3-5 am where I have to go poo. This is all weird........and this is why my concern is there . They say catching stomach cancer early is best, but often is missed ! ! Anyway, we will see, the good thing, my liver looks good.......yeah ! Second opinion is good.......I am gonna wait to see what my gastro man says about things then go from there. How are you doing? Love you ! Dede Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight?

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Dede, Hey sweetie. Sounds like your appt was bittersweet. In one way I would be relieved that the oncologist wasn't concerned but I can see your fear w/ the fact he wants to wait 6 months to recheck the lungs. Maybe you could go for a 2nd opinion? Love you, CLynn > > Hello Everyone ~ > I saw the oncologist today. He wants me to have a mammogram > to rule out breast cancer, as I havent had one in 10 years.
