what is UAE?

i dont know size of fibroid but they say it is small and would not be causing

the pain.

Hi!

I was told I have quite few small fibroids and they DO cause pain & a lot of

it, especially right before & sometimes during my period. I assume it has

something to do where they located too. But I will put up with the pain as

long as I can rather than have surgery done-unless they can do something minor

Joann, UAE is uterine artery embolization, also called UFE or uteine fibroid

embolization. It is a relatively new (about 9 years in Europe, 5 years in US)

treatment for fibroids, which according to what I've read here or on the egroups

embolization group, may also have some promise for women with adenomyosis. It

treats the whole uterus, not just individual fibroids. How it works is that

small PVA particles are injected into the uterine arteries, where they travel to

smaller arteries until they block the blood flow. No blood flow to fibroids =

dead fibroids. The uterus has alternate sources of blood and remains healthy.

For more info, see http://www.uhmc.com/fibroid.htm, the United Hospital Medical

Center fibroid site. This is just one of many good sites on embolization on the

Web. Leonie

Hi everyone,

I really need a big help for a friend. His daughter is 2 yr old with

seizures d/o treated with Topamax. Child is now suffering from loss of

appetite for about two weeks, she used to have good appetite and eat variety

of foods. Now she barely eats and even less - drinking. She was recently

wined off the bottle which parents say she didn't like but even giving her

back the bottle didn't make her drink any better.

Parents also gave fiber supplements, which I thought they should stop b/c

without proper hydration it most likely makes her more constipated not to

mention kids' fiber intake should not be that high. (I didn't want to

overwhelm them with risk of Ileus, it doesn't seem to be there yet, kid has

BM once every 3-4 days, which is not good, but BM is still there).

I recommended to dilute juices like apple juice or any juice the child might

take and give her also fruit shakes and add avocado and olive oil to it,

with or without tofu/milk ect.

I also looked at Topamax - it has wt loss as a common side effect, is there

any other milder medication for Sz for peds?

I don't know too much details, parents are not close friends and where very

uncomfortable talking about their child's illness.

Pediatric RDs, younger mothers..............

If any of you, Ped's RDs who work in the NYC area - I'll be happy to refer

them to you.

Thanks in advance
