Guest guest Posted November 17, 1999 Report Share Posted November 17, 1999 HI Lovette, So glad to see you back online, I was worried about you. What is happening? How'd you end up in the hospital. Wish I'd known you were ill, we drove through Gettysburg this weekend on the way to onburg, VA. Would have brought you some laughter. Hope you are doing better and welcome back, you were missed.

Allergies to herbs is not uncommon. Sensitivities to supps too, especially for instance if you are taking something that you're body doesn't want, or has paradoxically effect or other based on your own particular chemistry. One size doesn't fit all when it comes to supps. Hope this helps. June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2001 Report Share Posted October 29, 2001 There have been some O's that actually have a burning or drying sensation from aloe vera and have burns not heal as well. That might be sort of like taking MSM. Some people improve taking it. Others don't notice any difference or have a bad reaction to it. Both are avoids for O's but if it helps you, that is your individual choice.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2001 Report Share Posted October 29, 2001 Absolutely . I experience the same thing if I have more than about 4 oz. at a time. Soy nuts, soy flour, soy yogurt, more than two pieces of soy cheese - all cause the same problem for me.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2002 Report Share Posted July 15, 2002 Dear Kim, You've come to the right place when discussing aggressiveness in our little cherubs. Aggression is not at all unusual. Here's what has worked for my son. He's 4 years old, autistic, dyspraxic and has sensory integration dysfunction. My son would have an all out meltdown out of no where for what appeared to be for no reason at all...until we looked deeper into each situation. We thought he was just completely frustrated because he had almost no means of communicating with my husband and I. He shrieked, shrilled, kicked, hit, pinched and threw himself down onto the floor or ground and completely had a meltdown. Most of the time basket holds and restraining him did not work...just escalated the problem. We also tried ingoring the inappropriate behavior hoping the lack of attention from us would work....nope!!! We tried being stern, firm, raising our voices and being very calm as well...to no avail. So we looked deeper.......what was it our son was needing at that moment of meltdown. Our OT had the answer....input and deep pressure. We've instituted a sensory diet into our daily routine...with the advice of our OT, of course! Each day...four times a day...we provide our son with a half hour of deep pressure, compressions, oral motor massage and vestibular swinging. Ever since we started this sensory diet, he has maybe...MAYBE...one or two meltdowns a month. Honestly!!!! I, like you and your husband, was at my wits end. There have been times where I have had to walk out of my house and sit on the back step because I was becoming so angry and upset and frustrated myself at the situation. Imagine how our kids feel??? My suggestion....speak with an Occupational Therpist about a possible sensory diet. Can't hurt to ask. Best of luck. We're all here for you.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Hi Jeanne Lee, I loved your soapbox and your explanations of hearing people behind you. I haven't heard this in years. My hearing is steadily decreasing. This will probably be my last hearing aid. The expense is what is keeping me from getting a CI now. Thank you for writing, you are an inspiration. H. BUT when I got my IMPLANT ..... I was blown away (yes, it was that profoundly wonderful) by how significantly better I had heard ...than any hearing aid.... and how I could now even hear conversations of strangers walking behind me by the Chicago lakefront.... one in particular where the man was describing how mayor Daley had just torn up the airstrip in Chicago so no terrorist could land or have the excuse to fly close..... With today's technology....... and..... the implant keeps allowing us to improve over time as the brain learns....... OH MY !!!!! If you have the choice between the hearing aid or the IMPLANT PLEASE give serious thought to the implant !!!!!!!!!! :>) Ok... I am ready to step off my soapbox again!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Hi, My husband got official diagnoised last fall with primary Hypogonadism due to 47 XXY. He started T shots and right away his estrogen shot up. His T level was like 500 - 900 with E2 level from 60 - 90 I have all the other levels but these are the ones I have questions about. We got a new endocrinologist since the one we were working with didn't at all want to treat the E2 level or think that the conversion was an issue to worry about. We are doing 100 mg weekly shots and just got a prescription from out new endocrinologist for Arimidex 1 mg every other day. Question should we be taking 1 mg or is 1/2 a pill better. Seems to me I've heard several people talking about taking 1/2 a pill. Also how long before he / we notice a difference in how he feels? The frustrating thing has been that he never has felt better from the Testosterone meaning still sort of fatigued, low energy, difficulty concentrating, poor confidence level and at times depressing mood? Thanks for any advice or stories of experience LaVonne in Seattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 LaVonne, I would follow prescribing dosage of your endocrinologist and try scheduling an appointment after ~month to have E2 measured and then see if dosage correction is warranted. I started out on 1 mg/dy...beginning levels were: Estradiol (<54) Estrogen (40-115) 6-04-01.........82............134 7-9-01..........55............200 8-2-01..........87............196 I began 1 mg/dy on August 2nd '01 Next test levels were: 9-29-01.........37.............85 Good luck, OR eon Re: Digest Number 809 Hi, My husband got official diagnoised last fall with primary Hypogonadism due to 47 XXY.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Hi LaVonne, The Arimidex dosage really is dependent on the patient. If you doctor recommends 1mg every other day (which in my non-professional opinion seems a bit high), then I would demand/request a blood test in 2-3 weeks to check E2, as you don't want it to get too low. Mid- range appears to be just right for most folks. I take 1/2 every other day, my last blood results were too low, so I may go to every third day. Good Luck > Hi, > > My husband got official diagnoised last fall with primary Hypogonadism due > to 47 XXY. He started T shots and right away his estrogen shot up.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Yes, byh three weeks at 1/2 a pill a day, if you start " slipping again " , chances are you are taking too much arimidex. It is VERY powerful stuff, and what may work well in the begining may be way too much over the long term. 1/2 a pill every 5 days is enough for some guys, but not enough for others. Have to figure out what the optimal level for you is. Armyguy > > > > >The Arimidex dosage really is dependent on the patient.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hi everybody! We are back from SLC for Nadia's first cast. It was very interesting for several reasons. The first one is that Nadia's first x-ray at 13 months was 31 degrees, RVAD 36 and at 15-1/2 months it was 29 degrees, RVAD 33- in between the time she had been wearing a Kalabas brace. Her Boston ortho said it would be "reasonable" to cast her. We sent the xrays to Erie- they said that they did not necessarily recommend casting as the Kalabas brace was seeming to hold her. They did not think that it would necessarily do better. It sounds as if had we been in Erie, she probably would not have been casted. Well the way things turned out, my cell phone broke and I did not get the message from Erie, so we went ahead with the casting with Dr. Santora and Mike Pond, both of whom were so nice. The next interesting thing was the procedure: they decided to do fluoroscopy during the casting, which is basically a "live" xray. I don't think they ever did this before- although I believe Erie does it routinely. On the casting table my daughter was at zero degrees (just with traction) and I think no rotation (with Dr. Santora's manipulation). After the procedure, after she had been walking around acouple hours they did a standing xray- she was at 12 degrees and minimal rotation. What do you all think about that!!? Big difference between laying down and standing, I think! They said they did not apply lateral pressure because she was at zero. I wonder what they would do next time. Anyway, the third interesting thing, was Mike reluctantly agreed to cut off the over the arm pieces on her cast as her apex was at T12- Dr. Santora was really fine with it. They did it while she was still in the OR. They also applied petals in there, too. Mike said he was pleased in the end as well. So our little Nadia is doing pretty well- more irritable than before, but she is also at the everything is "no" age. The doctors and nurses and CNAs were so great. The hospital was so beautiful. volunteers came in at night to entertain the patients. It was a really positive experience. The other thing I would really recommend, is if your child likes animals, to have them be around them as soon as possible, because she really became her cheery self again after she saw my friend's dog!!! Thanks for all your support!!! It really helped!!!! Abigail infantile scoliosis treatment wrote: ------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
