The Baclofen they gave me for my spasms seems to help it as does heat but it never completely goes away. I've had it since I was little so I think I've almost learned to ignore it. I used to think it was normal, like everyone had it. Then Doctors tried to tell me it was stress storing in my neck and shoulders. I sympathise with you. Sometimes it feels like my neck can't hold my head on anymore but at least now because of this group and people like you, I know this isn't normal. I wish I could help more.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 You could always a) report them to the Better Business Bureau in their area, and report them to the Attorney General's office in their area. Those are two things right off the top of my head this morning..... Any other ideas anyone?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Several things come to mind but nothing that comes in packets. Some information about the patient and/or diagnosis would help in making an educated guess as opposed to a shot in the dark.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Hi Helen, I have been asking the same question myself this past week since I was eating vast amounts of dairy foods and Atkins low carb high fat convenience foods, and have to lower my LDL. What I understand is that garlic or garlic pills have been proven effective, as well as oatmeal (which is too high glycemic for me) and Metamucil also works. I have now started to eat only low fat/no fat dairy products. Soy also is helpful,and I just purchased WASA soy crackers which have only 4 carbs and 0 fat. I found a couple of good websites too- <http://www.ivillagehealth.com/features/eatforwellness/articles/0,,411 884_440690-2,00.html> <http://www.loweringcholesterol.net/show/lower-ldl-cholesterol> <http://www.portfolioeatingplan.com/r_oneday.php> Good luck!! > Can anyone here tell me what a diabetic can eat to lower cholesterol and triglicereds?

Thanks, Helen > > My father is type 2, 78, and has been taking fish oil tablets for the past year or so, per his doctor's recommendation, for both his cholesterol and trigliserides, and both have been reduced. His doctor recommended the fish oil as a last ditch measure, before putting him on prescription medication. He and my mother both take one capsule a day, at dinnertime. I can get more info for you if you are interested, ie what dose the fish oil capsules are, and how much his #'s came down, but he is thrilled to be able to avoid prescription medication. The only thing I know is that they buy the fish oil in a huge supply from Costco or Sam's club, although I have seen them in drug stores like Walgreen's in the vitamin/supplement aisle. gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 In regard to low-fat items, it is best to compare labels. Often low-fat items are " beefed up " with additional carbs to make them taste better. (It never works anyway, so I don't see the point, LOL!)

It is a dairy product but it only has 3 grams of carbs and 12 grams of protein per full cup. It works for me! I even get to have chocolate milk this way.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 The carb count for grapefruit juice is 22.131 for a cup. Best thing for me is to test before, try it and then test my BG an hour after.

Also keep in mind that alternative supplements can affect prescription medications, have side effects, have interactions with food and other alternative supplements, are not regulated in dosage and quality, etc. I'm not saying don't use them, I'm only saying treat them with as much caution as you would any prescription medication.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Anyone done any research on the heart? I was thinking. If fibro attacks the fibrous tissue/muscle and the heart is a muscle. Can it attack the heart? I have had bouts with irregualar heart beat...but cardiograms shows my heart is fine. Just curious if anyone knows anything about fibro and the heart.

I don't know if it's my muscles, but my arms & shoulders are sore from yoga yesterday. My b/p 134/82 and pulse 100 by wrist b/p cuff. Maybe lungs?

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Hi Jennie, I have what is called Bigeminy and was told it was a premature heart beat. I was also assured that my heart is in good condition after many different tests, and when I had an invasive test of my arteries, the Dr said he hoped his arteries looked as good as mine do when he is my age. (I was 77 at the time) I can't remember the name of the test but it was done in the hospital. I think it was called a catherization. I wonder if this is the same thing as an irregular heartbeat.
