Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Good luck Rose, I hope this works out for you. I know it is so disheartening to not have a caring doc who will listen, then when you find one it's like Gold!! My Pulmonologist is that way, he is so good to me, and has compassion. When I saw him the other day, he told me he had gotten some "new" news in a newsletter on Sarcoid and was anxious to sit down and read it, and when he did, he said he was so disappointed because it didn't have anything he didn't already know or I told him!! He really listens. Now I have to have surgery in my mouth, YUK!! I have an infection in the tooth root space of a cap I have up front. Since there is no root, but a piece of something, like a small pin, the space has become infected and the pin has pierced through the end of the root space. SOOOO, the only way to fix that, after a course of antibiotics is to do a gum flap and clean out the space and possible take the pin out and fill it with some kind of material that will help the bone regrow at the root end of the tooth, yuk!! I hate, and I mean hate, having anyone mess in my mouth, that is the worse. In fact I was suppose to call and make an appointment yesterday and forgot?? Boy did I ever change the subject, sorry, I came about this thinking about me doc, I told the tooth doc I wouldn't do anything until he had checked with my pulmo doc first. He called, the pulmo was on vacation, but still got back to him. Now that is special!! Said I should just be on antibiotics longer, yea, I was so afraid he would want to up my Pred, and I down to 6mgs a week/hard to believe!! and I didn't want togo back up again!!1 Thanks for listening... Praise him daily, Marla Re: Eating Disorder or Diet? Rose,Corrina and seem to be doing fine. They plan on trying again but now that she has lost 3 the insurance will pay for some testing to see whatr may be the problem. So they are gonna check into it, but i don't know when.Now me and my legs when i'm up walking or standing it feels like my lumbar section is between a vice the pain is undescribale. My legs you gave a good description they feel like they are gonna explode. I was told by the rheumy when they did their x-rays that i have disc degeneration in my lumbar spine and i know its pressing on my sciatic nerve on the right side cause i had that before from old back injury it runs doun my rt butt cheeck straight down the back of my leg.I have to watch how i sit too and i can't sit for long unless its a very comfy chair but i still have to shift my weight off my rt butt if you will quite often.How are you doing dear? Oh yeah the hospital bed they brought me with the special overlay mattress is just heavenly. I believe its some form of gel.Now if i can just get this darned burn to heal on my back it doesn't seem to be healing.much love to ya,Jan~~~~ *** ~~~ *** ~~~ *** ~~~~The Neurosarcoidosis CommunityLive Group Chat:-Mondays & Fridays 10pm EST USAhttp://www.elderwyn.com/neurosarcoidosis/chat.phpMessage Archives and Digest Attachment Pictures:-http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Neurosarcoidosis/messagesMembers Database:-Listings of locations, phone numbers, and instant messengers.http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Neurosarcoidosis/database Bookmarks:-Add a website URL you have found useful.http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Neurosarcoidosis/linksPersonal Complaints or problems:-Please email the moderatorsmailto:Neurosarcoidosis-owner Subscription Details:-1) Individual email - means that every email sent to the list you receive.2) Daily Digest - sends you 25 messages in one single email for you to browse.
