Question

[Guest guest]

I don't remember the source of ' loss, but has there been a CAT scan?

Sometimes sudden drops in hearing can be related to large vestibular aqueduct

syndrome (LVAS) Kay has a lot of info on this at:

http://www.listen-up.org/med2.htm

Good luck.

It has nothing to do with it if you are not expecting the school to pay.

Don't worry about it.

Hi there,

He had a CAT scan about 2 months ago and the ENT said

everything looked ok. Maybe we should get a second

opinion.

Thanks!

She did the bone conduction and some aided and unaided

testing. We have another appt with her this Weds but

I'm not sure what tests she'll be doing that day.

Debbie,

We got our huggy's from our audiologist, but I just wanted to share

that for the girls toupee tape worked so much better. With the huggy their

little ears always looked pinch ( ok could have just been my kids LOLOL).

got her first aids when she was 13 months and they where adult size,

the toupee tape kept them where they where supposed to be, and she had

un-squished ears

Good Luck

That is definately a concern you should have, because I have heard

it can happen. Now mine is not 100% gone-- i had damage to the one

joint so If I yawn way too big( which rarely happens) it will click,

and I must have special attention when having dental work because I

am sure it could act up-- it did when they were taking the braces

off.

Hi, Irish. I asked my daughter about her open bite. She had surgery 2

1/2 wks ago--upper impacted and advanced (one piece), lower advanced,

and chin advanced. She said the new bite is in place immediately. She

added that because her teeth are tightly banded, she can't

really " feel " the way her teeth rest together. Her bite did not

require a splint to lock it into place. This is what her particular

experience has been. Sue

[Guest guest]

Hey Irish,

If I remember correctly my surgeon actually overcompensated a little

bit expecting some relapse so my bite wasn't actually where it needed

to be after surgery but by the time I got my splint off I could tell

my teeth were coming together nicely! I'm almost sure that's what

actually happend although I've really blocked out a lot of stuff from

that time in my recovery.

Someone mentioned open bites and pizza....ditto!! I either have

to " knife & fork " it or I fold the slice in two and am usually able

to bite it that way. Thick crust is ok but of course I love the thin

crust better- go figure!

Speedy healing,

Hi Irish,

I know you are asking this question for people with open bites. I

had an underbite, but still wanted to respond to your question.

Yes, I could see my new bite immediately. I used a small little

mirror while lying in the hospital bed to sneak a peak at my new

bite. I had to peel my lower lip away and managed to easily see my

new bite. It was pretty neat.

i agree! i think you'll be able to see the difference the moment you get ur

hand on a mirror.... i only had the chance to see how i looked after the

surgery when i was taking XRay the next morning after the surgery in the

hospital. that look in the mirror made me feel that all i went through was

worth it!!

Irish, I dunno. I do know that it's a frequent occurrence that you

feel your bite is not what your ortho intended while you're still

wired, banded, with splint, whatever.

And then, poof! Things change, and it's USUALLY all wonderful.

Occasionally not. But usually.

Hey, I now meet on one side, and don't on the other, whichever I

choose to have meet. But it's close. Not close enough to go home with

a new crown, though. (No, I have not had to have one, mercifully, but

that's the only comparison Iknow.)

So does that now make me an official open-biter?? That wasn't

exactly my intention with all this...

[Guest guest]

Randy that is so funny about sneaking a peek with the mirror. When I asked

the nurse in the hospital for a mirror to see my new smile, etc, she said,

" Aw, honey, you don't want to look in a mirror right now..... "

That's when I knew what everyone says (about looking like you tangled with a

MAC truck and lost) is true. Now that I look back, it was kind of her to

want to spare me the shock.

[Guest guest]

Irish,

I had lower and segmented upper, and was banded with a splint for six

weeks. I didn't look inside my mouth for the first week, but when I

did, I could definitely tell a difference, but it was hard to really

see my new bite because of the splint. When it was removed, my new

bite was obviously different and tremendously better. About two

weeks later I was able to bite into things, like very cooked carrots,

with my front teeth (which I hadn't been able to do for many years).

By the way, my surgeon said that I had one of the biggest open bites

that he had ever seen. I hope you have the same success. Sandy

It sounds like ketosis. A high protein (or low carb) diet can do that. It means

your body is burning fatty acids. Over a long period this can be hard on some

people's kidneys.

[Guest guest]

Hey Joanne & Grandma,

Thanks for the supportive replies.

I'm just counting calls, watching the fat gram intake and doing plenty of

exercise at the gym, alternating weights & cardio.

And eating a lot of garlic too, by the way :-).

I'm a diabetic, so I have to be sensible about my food intake. Still, my

body seems to loose weight sort of in spurs - I can be the same for 10 days

in a row, and then loose very quickly for a week. I thought I noticed a

change in breath when loosing quickly, garlic or no garlic.

The ketosis theory sounds good though - that's burning fat, isn't it? I've

been replacing a lot of fat weight with muscle weight the last 5 months -

loosing 35 lbs - and I think I've felt the breath thing when I've kept my

fat gram intake below about 30 grams a day. Just wanted to check if anyone

recognised.

Are you seeing a doctor regularly, I hope? Ketosis can be dangerous for a

diabetic. My hubby has diabetes so I know.

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Thank you for your concern.

Yes, I am seeing a docter regularly, and a dietician too. I'm a type II

diabetic, diagnosed a couple of months ago, and they've told me that if I

get my BMI down to well under 30, the bloodsugar levels might be ok again

and there is a chance I can stop taking the meds. They also have me on meds

for high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and I'd love to get rid of all

of them :-).

I started out with a BMI of a bit over 40, and I'm now at 35 so that's

almost of half way. You do have a good point though. Now that I know how to

loose the weight, I can't wait to get it off and I have to keep myself under

control not to loose to quickly. I really don't want to go under 1500 cals a

day, that should be a safe limit I guess. I'll discuss with the dietician

next week, I scheduled to see her anyway. Thanks,

Marjon

Where, oh where does this kind of screwy logic come from!! It's not

only EASY to dose with Armour, if you go to an Endo, he'll put you

back on T4-only meds and won't even TOUCH Armour. Incredulous!!

But we are glad you are doing great on Thyrolar!!

If it was me, I'd take in the morning so that I can get the full

effect of the T3 when awake.

Janie

[Guest guest]

Since you are a night worker...

Do you sleep as soon as you get home and then have your time before work

or ???

You'd probably want to take it closer to work time.. to be able to have

the hormones in your system during times of effort, and to be more alert

when driving to and from work. If you were to take it in the early

morning and then sleep during the day... you'd have little left for your

work shift...

I think, for me... I'd definitely do at least two doses a day if I slept

right after work and had my time during the afternoon/evening and then

went to work... I'd take 1/2 when waking and 1/2 before work.

just my thoughts....
