Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Dear Edy, Sorry to hear of your predicament. Finding a good and caring lung specialist is difficult. It seems that many of us can relate. We have similar stories to share. Primary care doctors often seem better, because they see us more often and want to help. Its a tough call, because we need specialised care too. Anyhow... need to rescue mom from my sweet kitty. She can see mom eating something and to be honest Bonnie's a bit spoiled and also enjoys treats. I'll have to get her her kitty treats. I'll be thinking about you.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I am not totally sugar free. I don't add fruit. I try to eat as little sugar as possible. Usually they do a scope test for an absolute diagnosis of reflux. Sorry but can not spell the medical word. It can be done as an out patient. They put you under and go down your throat with a device that takes pictures. It is pain- free. Just need a driver to go home as the medicine leaves you woozie. I take Nexium for the reflux. I did stop the HRT. It was very difficult. I use alternative bioidentical hormone replacement. Hope this helps, Edy > Thank you very much for your reply. They have not yet diagnosed me with acid reflux but I would swear I do have it. I will try the yogurt. Do you flavor it with fruit too or just eat yogurt with sugar free flavoring. Have you cut out all other sugars, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Cheryl I applaud your sense of adventure. Test saliva pH. If it is below 7.4, and you have FMS, that is Overly Acidic Fibromyalgia, one of the 4 Versions of FMS. 90 % of Fibros have this version. The pH scale is logarhythmic - not 1,2,3, but times 10. Every number on the pH scale is 10 times more acid than the previous number. So 6.5 is 10 times too acid. 5.5 is 10 x 10 too acid. www.FibroFix.com has complete instructions for treatment for all 4 Versions. All free site. Nothing for sale. Correcting saliva pH does not take months. It literally takes just minutes. But it's something we do all day every day. The most important thing is what we eat. No acids. No tomatoes in any form. No lemons, grapefruit, kiwi, strawberries - not even grapes, raisins and cranberries. (the book you have is general - it will not explain this correctly for Fibros.) No soft drinks - any color Taking a big gulp of alkalizer (baking soda, Tums, etc) is not a good idea. It can throw you the other direction all at once. It could be very dangerous. Our body's chemistry is what keeps us going. Also test the water you normally drink. If it is acidy it won't be working in your favor. If you use the foods info with your book, you will not have success. In a normal person lemon has a " net alkali effect " . In Overy Acidic Fibros, though, as soon as it touches the saliva in our mouth, our overburdened Serous Fluid system is affected. I'm also not a doctor. But I am the discoverer of the 4 versions of Fibromyalgia, this treatment method that is adapted for each version, and was the first person to use it. The Discoveries page tells the 40 + other things I was able to determine about FMS, most significantly, Systemic Serous Hypoperfusion. (all the clear fluid in the body is too thick; it is not moving correctly; it is too thick to reach all parts of the body.) Many of them are common knowledge now, but we need for all of the knowledge and treatment info to reach everyone who needs it. For about 8 years I have been using it myself to relieve all symptoms of my extremely severe Overly Acidic Fibromyalgia. I have been working as hard as I can to reach other Fibros and researchers and physicians to tell them what we know. Thousands of people are using this treatment method now. Experimenting is great if you don't have a guideline and you understand the seriousness a mistake can cause. In this case, it also takes a combination of things happening at one time to relieve FMS symptoms. But because we already what works and what doesn't, and why, I'd really like to encourage you to experiment with the complete treatment method and share your results here. If not, you will have mixed or poor results and discourage yourself and others from doing what they will need to know to beat all FMS symptoms on a daily basis.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 It has been a while since I have been able to participate (been reading posts but no time to reply). I have missed all my Aspires friends. Things here are finally getting sorted out so I wanted to post an update. A few weeks ago I posted about our AU son and the school , through an outsourced co-op, refusing to give him the label of Autistic (therefore refusing him the rights and protections afforded him an an autistic child by the IDEA and the Autism Act of Texas). The same organization was out of compliance on all the goals and therapies set forth in 's (or AS son) IEP. It has been a very long battle and if I gave the blow by blow I would have completed a thesis instead of a brief email update. Suffice to say that I spent nearly an entire week either on the phone or in meetings. I refused to sign off on the co-ops rediagnosis of and refered them to our lawyer. In the end the school system decided that it would be best for them (they were in the middle) if continued with his current diagnosis (given by three seperate Dr's of varying specialties) of Autism. When the co-op realized they no longer had the backing of the school system they fell into compliance on my other child as well. We have in no way won the war but it is nice to have won a few battles. I look forward to being once again in contact with y'all (as they say down here). e, still recovering from battle but triumphant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
