Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 I should get to it this weekend, and should have a picture for you. Noreen [ ] CINDI Cindi, As long as you have had Chickenpox, you are not at risk to get them again, usually. Once exposed, the virus that causes it lays dorment in the nervous system and could reoccure in adults as Shingles (herpes zoster). Below are a few articles from WebMD. I personally would be cautious because of our weak immune systems caused be the meds....Marina (from WebMD) You are at risk for chickenpox if you have not had chickenpox or the vaccine and you: Live with someone who has chickenpox. Work or play indoors for more than 1 hour with someone who has chickenpox. Are in the hospital and share a room with someone who later develops chickenpox or are cared for by a staff member who later develops chickenpox. Have an impaired immune system. Your risk of getting chickenpox is especially high if you are exposed to a household member with chickenpox because of the close contact. In addition, you may develop a more severe case than the person who infected you. Chickenpox is most contagious from 1 to 2 days before the rash appears until the blisters have dried and formed crusts. If you get a chickenpox vaccination, you are contagious only if you develop blisters. You remain contagious as long as new spots continue to develop and until all blisters have crusted over. Some people also are at increased risk of developing complications from chickenpox, such as newborns, teenagers, adults-especially pregnant women-and those with impaired immune systems. Once you have had chickenpox, you become immune to the virus. It is possible that you may have a slight reaction after re-exposure, such as a few spots and slight fever. However, you will not get a full- blown case of chickenpox more than once. (from WEbMD) As early as 1909 a German scientist suspected that the viruses causing chickenpox and shingles were one and the same. In the 1920's and 1930's the case was strengthened. In an experiment, children were inoculated with fluid from the lesions of patients with shingles. Within 2 weeks about half the children came down with chickenpox. Finally in 1958 detailed analyses of the viruses taken from patients with either chickenpox or shingles confirmed that the viruses were identical. This study also proved that a person with shingles can pass the virus to individuals who have never had chickenpox, but these individuals will develop chickenpox not shingles. A person with chickenpox cannot communicate shingles to someone else. In order for people to develop shingles they must already harbor the virus in their nervous system, and for those who do harbor the virus, having contact with someone with chickenpox will not trigger shingles. Additionally, a person with shingles cannot communicate shingles to another individual. Reviewed by , MD, December 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 OOPS, Sorry, sent this to the list by accident. Was another email. Sorry for the confusion.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Cindi, that is kind of what I was thinking, because I have candida all the time these days with the lyme, and am on diflucan all the time for it while I am being treated for lyme. Bridget > > Hey Bridget, > > First, thanks for the doctor info sent off-line; I will google her. > > Second, I'm thinking your daughter probably has systemic candida, rampant in those with weakened immune systems. It's either going before lyme hits and gets worse, or develops because of all the breakdown from lyme and can affect all sorts of organs/systems, get in the blood, etc.. My son had this as well, and had the bad breath to go with it. There doesn't have to be white fungal stuff on the tongue for this to be going on. You could start her drinking a little organic apple cider vinegar (with the musty stuff in the bottom of the bottle) in purified water to begin to alkalize her system. You want enough that she can tolerate it; not enough that she's making faces!! > > Please call with other candida questions.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Bridget, I'd love to talk with you about something we've been doing that's reduced our candida, maybe 60-70% in a very short time-frame, - w/out dietary change, drugs, etc. Give a call - I'm not ready to post on it yet... will explain when we talk.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Cindi, Thanks so much for you update. I know it helps so much for people who are in the " immediate post op phase " to hear the how it is going for others. It is so hard to express the brutal tediousness of growing bone while you are still wondering what you have gotten yourself into. On the other hand it also helps share the depressive aspects of this post op surgery. I hope that others will learn that they should probably expect this to happen to them, it does to almost every one of us....some worse than others....but I would go out on a limb here and say that very few of us were spared. In the Links section I posted an article on Post op depression. It is actually a condition that often follows any major surgery...and I just cant understand why our surgeons don't " front end " that a little by having a frank talk about it at that first post op visit around 3- 6 months. I also remember the tiredness in the year following surgery. I dont think that is uncommon. At first I thought it had to do with blood loss, then I thought depression, and later in the year I realized that I also was soooooo out of shape that every little bit of effort was really taxing me. So....again....expect time to be your friend. Sometime in the next year I bet you will have that first day where you get almost to the end of it and realize you havent really thought about your back at all. That is an exciting day! Are you working these days? Take Care, Cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
