Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Hi Janie, Right now I'm unable to take any Thyroid meds. I have terrible side effects even with very small doses. That is why I'm trying to get my Adrenals functioning properly. I have been under alot of stress for many years and I know they need some help! Thanks, kim > Kim, how much Armour are you on?

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hello to all: I'm not totally new to diabetes discussion groups so some might recognize my engineering style. I'm enjoying reading the lively, caring discussions found here. I'll try to add my own thoughts, when appropriate. I've had type 2 diabetes for 14 years, but still keep good control with a small injection of basal insulin to combat prednisone effects, also I pay very careful attention to diet. My recent A1c of 5.6 shows that it's worth the effort. (Polio - 1949) (Type 2 Diabetes - 1990) (PMR and TA - 2000) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I just received the results of a vaginal biopsy and have Lichens Sclerosis. Am awaiting two types of cream to use.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I don't have LS, but might be a good idea if you joined the Lichens Sclerosis yahoo group list. Good luck hun.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Thank you for your letter. Glad to hear you are having good results with Elmiron. I took it for nine months, and it made my hair fall out, but didn't seem to do any better job than Elvail which I have been taking for about 16 years. Have never heard of Librax - what kind of drug is it. Sorry to hear you are having bladder infections. I recently had one, but it has been years since they bothered me, but I do dread them. Interesting to hear you are taking elavil for the lichen. How does it work on it? Anyhow, my drugs for Lichen are to arrive today, so will see. I live in a remote place, and while the docs are good, we only get specialists in every few months, so have to find my info on the net.! No, I haven't had problems so far with yeast and bacterial infections, but have had trouble with chronic soreness, redness in vagina and around anual region, with constipation and some bleeding when I wipe, which I had no clue what was happening these past six months. I was in Hawaii last February and the heat caused much perspiring in the lower regions, irritation and redness. Intercourse is also very sore. I use a product called Replens which adds some moisture, as I get very dry with some splitting skin sometimes. The IC hasn't been too bad, but it flares when I am under stress. I drink a lot of water and go lie down and usually the Elvail (20 mil.) kicks in around two hours after I take it in the evening and I am usually good until the following afternoon when it seems to cause pain. Hugs Hello I just received the results of a vaginal biopsy and have Lichens Sclerosis. Am awaiting two types of cream to use. Would like to hear from other members who have this disorder. I also have interstitial cystitis - a chronic inflamation of the bladder. I heard that this condition may also be an autoimmune condition like Interstitial. vlohrenz@...
