Geri,

Repeating myself is something I do regularly. No problem. I see a GI doc is

all and primary. I had biopsy in June that showed extensive fibrosis,

necrosis and stage 1 cirrhosis. I am on pred, but not imuran. My GI wants to

wait another month on the lower dose of pred, now at 10mg. They may do

another biopsy in January. I asked about budisone, and they had never heard

of it. I go to the clinic at university hospital here in ville. I am

going to apply for Medicaid this week so I can get another doc soon.

The itching just started the past few weeks. I will tell doc on Thursday.

I am supposed to see a rhumatolegist soon. I may have lupus also.

Ginger,

Sounds like you have a wonderful sister. I credit my sister for my being

alive. It was her whom pushed the local doc to send me to a hospital that

did transplants. It was a Sunday and all three hospitals inBoston that did

liver transplants wanted to wait until Monday. My sister was relentless and

got the pager number of one of the transplant surgeons from the deaconess.

He was at his son's hockey game, but she wouldn't take no for an answer. He

ended up giving the go ahead for me to be sent to the Deaconess where they

saved my life. She still takes me to the hospital when I become ill. She

knows my medical history almost as well as me. Sisters can truly be our very

best freinds.

Re noisy parts, sun and seizing up.

What a great bunch you all are. In the past 24 hours, I have thought

about 3 of the topics in the last couple posts!!!

While at work this morning, I stood up from my desk adn started to walk

and in space of covering about 25 feet, 2 people asked me what was making the

cracking noise----- it was my ankle........ sometimes it;s my knee, but that

is more of a creaking, actually. If I could get them both going at the

same time, maybe I could harmonize.---Yes Gillian - could we all form the PA

orchestra made up of one man bands!!

I was thinking about the sun and counting the days till summer--- it is

incredible how dramatically the P improves-- the PA as well. My derm says

the benefits outweigh the risks for me---- especially since I see her at

least every 4-6 months if any suspicious sun related spots should show up.

The derm I went to in Pa had me get a UVB light, but it does not do the same

thing as the real mcoy.

My hubby asked me how I felt this morning and I could not think of a way

to describe it--- You nailed it Janet--- seized up sums it up!!!!!

Steph,

What are the tests using for units? pg/ml for E2 and ng/dl for T??

If so, I have never seen either of those to be considered too high.

If your E2 is 11.7 pg/ml then from everything I have ever seen you

are fine. If your T is 264 ng/dl then that is low. Way low.

What are the reference ranges they sent along with the results?

Wow. That's interesting. I guess the saliva tests have much

different reference ranges then do the normal blood tests.

Do these agree with your previous testing? There are conversions to

nmol units available on the web here.

I do not know if I'm doing this correctly, so please let me know if I'm not. I

want to respond to Yash's message about Dr. Bihari, so I hit " reply. " I don't

see any old e-mails attached, so I'm not sure if they're appearing or not.

Yash, when Dr. Bihari was diagnosed, MRI's had not been invented. I believe he

told me that his diagnosis was based on the symptoms he was exhibiting. He as

not exhibited MS symptoms in many years. As has been stated here before, he

takes LDN as a cancer preventative.

I used the olive oil infusion with rosemary to kill the young mites. It worked.

You just have to keep cleaning out the old wax afterward until the ears are

clean. It may take a couple of weeks.

Question about pets. I've seen a bit about dogs...but this is for my

My male cat has ear mites that we just noticed. The poor guy is

scratching his ears and shaking his head like mad. I've read things

online about smothering the mites with drops of oil etc. I'm

wondering if anyone has any experience (or thoughts) about using a

diluted tea tree oil or such, to rid him of the mites.
