Hi everyone, I just joined this group in hopes of answers to a fewquestions. I am 27 years old, I have psoriatic arthritis. I've been onenbrel for about 2 years, when I'm not getting a stupid cold.

Hi , gosh I thought that I was the young one and I'm 45. My arthritis did start when I was 26 though. I've had both of my knees now, just not at the same time, 3 months apart. The last one was 3 1/2 weeks ago. I think if I were you're age I would go for both at the same time. I really, really, considered it, but my Dr. sort of didn't want to do it. I'm so excited about getting this last one done and over with. Write me anytime.

Thanks everyone who replied. I did go through about 3 years of

physical therapy, it did help a little got me moving again more, but

not that much more. Of course the enbrel has helped some too. I

really trust my rheum, shes been my rheum for the past 5 years. I

only see her every 6 months now, but I can call when I need

something, she will do pretty much anything I ask. Actually I just

went to see her today, not much went on there though. Friday is my

surgeon appt, I'm still kinda nervous about it, but I'll get over

it. Everyones replies have made it easier, now I know what I'm

getting myself into. But I will still say if its going to help I'm

all for it. Nothing else seems to really be helping. Once again

thanks everyone. I need to go to my bed, its 1:15am now and shopping

day tomorrow, I can't wait till I can actually go in a store and be

able to walk around again, for now I use the electric wheelchairs.

My insurance won't cover one unless I can't walk at all.

I can tell you from the standpoint of cognitive that is one of the

very first things you will see improvment in. I think everyone that does

HBOT say's that is the very first thing they notice. My daughters web page

is http:\\home.fullmoonwebs.com\katysplace\ there are so many other sites to

go to www.lufkinhbo.com or even www.oceanhbo.com vist them all read all

the testimonials. I think you will be amazed as well as pleased.

Hi as I was just writing that's about when we noticed the

flat spot on my son 6 weeks. The spot was small then. Shortly after

the doctor noticed his neck was not strong enough, waited another

month to see if it would develop muscle on its own and then he was

diagnosed with torticollis. He hated tummy time because it's

uncomfortable.

Just keep a close eye on it and maybe mention to your doctor to check

his neck. Does he struggle with tummy time, favor sleeping on one

side, looking to one direction? those are signs of tort.

My son's small flat spot developed quickly to a severe flat spot by

month 4.

Keep up the repositioning it can help! Best of luck

Hi ,

Welcome to the group! :-) It sounds as if your baby may have

torticollis. It's a tight, twisted muscle in the neck. You can learn

more about it by going here:

http://www.infant-torticollis.org/

http://www.pedisurg.com/PtEduc/Torticollis.htm

http://www.drhull.com/EncyMaster/T/torticollis.html

Most plagio babies have tort also. My baby had tort, she went to

physical therapy 3 times a week for 3 months. Maybe you should have

him evaluated for torticollis. Don't be surprised if your pediatrican

doesn't know much about it. It took me 4 months and 3 different

doctors to get my daughter's tort diagnosed. If your ped isn't

educated about tort you could go see a physical therapist who is

familiar with infant tort.

At 6 weeks old you should be able to correct this, but it's going to

be very hard if he does have tort! Aggressive repositioning has to be

done 24 hours a day every day. It's hard work but it does work. You

have to limit or eliminate his time in the swing, car seat, bouncy

seat and infant seat.

You are so lucky to have caught this at such a young age! Good for you

for being so proactive about this. :-)

Keep us posted on your little one.

He likes tummy time actually. Only fusses after he has had enough. I

have been watching for tort...but he seems to have full motion

moving his head around and all that...he just seems to like sleeping

with his head on the right. Otherwise he works it ok. The doc did

mention that allowing him to continue would cause problems with his

neck muscles. Thus him wanting us to reposition him as well as

stimulate him on his left side. When he is on his tummy he is able

to hold up his upper torso now on his arms and has a strong neck as

he will just hold it up and look around for long periods. I am

amazed at how strong he is!! He has been doing this for almost 2

weeks now. I will keep an eye on it closely though. I am one of

those people who won't dismiss a small thing hoping it will go away.

I think our issue is just sleeping in the wrong position on a flat

surface. We actually allow him to sleep on soft surfaces like a

blanket on the couch which cushions his head well while we are

watching him during the day. He LOVES cushiness and comfort. Then he

will lay at all angles with his head and sleep well...it is only in

his bassinet and swing that he lays the way he does. I stopped

putting him in the swing 2 weeks ago when I noticed the flat spot

thinking it was making it worse. Now I just lay him on the couch -

supervised of course! I don't have a choice about his sleeping at

night though since I am not going to endanger him by putting him in

our bed or on any other soft surfaces when I am not awake.

Thanks! That is what I thought, but the older he gets the more

strong his neck muscles are getting and he has good motion while on

his tummy and while being held. It is only when we place him on a

flat surface to sleep when he just lays to the right. On soft

surfaces he will lay however he is interested in laying...I am

thinking it is partial stubborness...perhaps that is what he was

used to in utero and now he is still laying the same way?? When I

was pregnant, he lay the same way most of the time. He moved a lot,

but he always ended up in the same position, so I am wondering if it

is just a position he has grown used to.

I am definatly going to keep an eye on it and keep educated on it.

If this other repositioning strategy fails, I will be taking him to

a specialist. I don't want it to be permenant!

I will keep popping in here and there! Thanks so much!

If he likes soft stuff to sleep I did think the Dex sleeper

positioner is very comfy, as long as his neck is fine you may want to

try it. Ask your doctor about it. My son was very active and was not

able to move to get to his stomach. I think you can safely use it

until he starts to try to turn over. Maybe with that he'd do better

in the crib? You probably know this but my doctor suggested

changing sides of the crib since babies usually like to look to the

outside (away from the wall). That might help too.

Good luck!

If he likes soft stuff to sleep I did think the Dex sleeper

positioner is very comfy, as long as his neck is fine you may want to

try it. Ask your doctor about it. My son was very active and was not

able to move to get to his stomach. I think you can safely use it

until he starts to try to turn over. Maybe with that he'd do better

in the crib? You probably know this but my doctor suggested

changing sides of the crib since babies usually like to look to the

outside (away from the wall). That might help too.

Good luck!

You might consider reading a few stories of recovery, to see what

might be beneficial for your child.

==>Hi . Welcome to our group!

>Long story short, I had a problem with my ear and after 3 primary

physicians, 5 ENT's and 2 doses of Prednasone, I found that my

symptoms were yeast related. I realized that my diet consisted

mainly of sugar, carbohydrates and more sugar. I lived on bagels,

pasta, pizza, fruit punch and Cosmopolitans (on the weekend, of

course!) I never realized it because I always thought that yeast was

vaginally related and I had never had a problem in that respect.

==>Thinking yeast is only vaginally related is a very common.

Unfortunately even some doctors believe that.

>

> Well, I fell off the diet 2 times in the past 3 years and each time

my problems resurfaced. The only thing is that I'm not really having

the stomach related issues anymore. My question is, can candida

affect you and not directly affect your stomach and digestive

system? My symptoms are on and off hoarseness in throat, weakness in

muscles, fatigue, nervousness/anxiety/depression. I'm not asking for

a diagnosis, just seeing if anyone has these issues.

==>Candida can definitely affect you without stomach or digestive

system problems. Many candida sufferers, including myself, suffered

from the symptoms you describe. However, no matter what the " real

cause " of any symptoms are they are not normal to have, and the main

principles of our diet, along with supplements, will help the body

heal naturally.

>Also, can simply taking an acidophilos capsule keep your yeast at

bay (along with the proper diet, of course) or do I need to look into

all the other supplements I hear about? Thanks for any help you can

give.

==>You can cure candida on diet alone, but the other supplements are

listed for a reason, i.e. the lack of nutrients in foods because of

nutrients depleted from the soil they grow in, or less nutrients

contained in meats because of what they eat, etc. Some supplements

may not be required by some people, i.e. B vitamin complex because

they eat plenty of liver every week; Vitamin D because they are out

in the sun every day and so on. Also antifungals are important for

killing off enough candida so the acidophilus can be implanted in the

bowels.

==>Because candida sufferers cannot have milk, and because it is

pasteurized which destroys nutrients and denatures proteins, etc. and

it is difficult to get enough from foods, calcium/magnesium

supplements are required. I don't have candida now but I take 350

mgs of each per day, and sometimes need more magnesium, depending

upon my stress level and the nutrients in my foods. The macro-

minerals required by the body are: calcium, magnesium, sulphur,

phosphorus, potassium, sodium and chloride. Sodium and chloride are

contained in the ocean sea salt recommended, along with over 84 other

necessary trace minerals. Phosphorus and sulphur are prevalent in

meats and eggs and some veggies, i.e. garlic, onions, lemons, etc.

Potassium is widely available in many foods, herb teas, etc.

==>Chlorella or liquid chlorophyll might not be necessary if you have

no mercury dental fillings and no heavy metals in your body, i.e.

aluminum from table salt, antiperspirants, and many other personal

care products, etc., which would be very rare these days.

==>I could go on to explain each one, but suffice it to say that Yes

they are important towards building up your immune system so your

body can maintain its health.

Hi Bee and thank you for responding so quickly. Regarding your mention

of heavy metals in the body, would the presence of iron in the water

create metals in your body? We have a water softener in our house

which we fill with salt because of iron in the water. Also, what are

your feelings on bottled water?

Hi I was just going through my old emails and ran across this one! I don't know

why I hadn't before ! Anyway, I was curious about this product. Was it

something you put on externally or took internally? Did you combine it with any

other yeast fighting products ? I am desperate! I have had thrush for 9 months

now on my nipples and it sucks!!!

Re: New here

> I just wanted to introduce myself, I just joined the group. I am nursing my

7 month old son, and we have had thrush since he was born on and off. It's

flaring up again and I'm so sick of it! I just want it gone. I hope this group

will be helpful to us and I look forward to chatting with you guys. :)

Oh, I feel your pain! :'( I had horrible thrush with my first child and,

of course, wanting the best for my baby, I was determined to keep on

nursing, despite cracked and bleeding nipples! OUCH! That is a pain I

don't wish to go through again. Anyway, I finally went to my MD who is

focused on alternative medicine and he tried putting a liquid called

Ultra-Safe Solution. It worked unbelievably well! My thrush, as severe

as it was, was completely gone in two days. I also recommended it to one

of my friends who had thrush and she said it healed hers, too. Now, the

bad news is, I just did a search online for the product and it appears

they are no longer making it! :-( But, maybe you could find it elsewhere

online? Or, perhaps from a naturopath near you? I don't know, but I am

very, very disappointed about that. I really hope they get some venture

capital to bring the product back to production. If you can find it

anywhere, definitely snatch it up!

I also used plain yogurt on them and that worked alright. Another

thought is to use virgin coconut oil on them. I think this would be very

soothing and it fights yeast, as well. The main thing, though, is to

address your diet so your body can fight the yeast internally. Cut out

sugar, white flour, and all " junk " foods. Eat more fresh fruits and

vegetables and drink more water. There are also a lot of remedies you

can take, such as garlic, plain yogurt, oil of oregano, etc. You'll find

lot of ideas on this list. :-) If you need to quit nursing for a few

days so you can heal and you would like a good alternative to formula, I

have a recipe I would be happy to give you offlist.

Hope that helps!

Hi It's Me,

I am less angry - part of that is that I have gotten my thyroid balanced. It

was high and now low. Depends your age too. I was very even keeled in my 20's

and 30's and my late 30's and 40's were rather turbulent - more anger. But with

the thyroid med I am less confused and less angry. So get a physical and see if

anything else is out of balance. The Hep C seems to attack any weakness in a

person's body and exploit it to the inth degree. Our family has weakness in

thyroid, bladder, and some mental illnesses - anxiety and schizophrenia (only

one member with that though).

Hope that helps,

The courts felt like 24 weeks of anger management might do the trick for me.

hi .

Don't be scared and confused. hep c is not that fatal as the doctors are

propagating. it is slow progressing disease which takes 20-30 years to damage

your liver. treatment is available. so first of all see the specialist. he will

arrange further tests. the only treatment is interferon inj thrice a week or

pegasis/peginteron once in a week for 24 weeks. there are altrnate medicine

available. just be brave. hep c can't harm you at least 20 years more. best of

luck. saleem

Hi ~ I signed up a few days ago because my husband's lab work came

physical and we found out. I am so scared & confused. Does anyone

understand how the test reads? His came back 19.9 and I was reading

something about 8 being the normal. I have been tested, also, and am

awaiting the results. The doctor told us they would schedule an

appointment with a gastroenteroligist(sp?) for further testing. I

guess all I can do is pray for the best. Anyways, just wanted to tell

about our situation. ~
