Guest guest Posted October 13, 2002 Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 Hi Darlene That's a very good question.. And one I was never gave thought to til now.. I have read the info I was given and there was no information regarding VEGEMITE ... Nothing was said by my doctor regarding the spread.. However, I would think that it would be allowable to be consumed around the same time you would be allowed to have bread (wholemeal) .. In this case would be at stage 4 ( I'm currently at stage 3 yet dietitian suggested i could I could sneak in the odd slice here and there on my way to stage 4 PROVIDING is was toasted as it breaks down alot quicker..) I have had vegemite with this odd slice of wholemeal toast and there has been no side effects from the cunsumption to date.. For those who don't know what VEGEMITE is.. It is a spread that is popular throughout Australia that is a high source in vitamin B.. and YES it is an aquired taste.... Hope this helps RE: At what time frame are you allowed to have Vegemite? do they think there is any problem with it and the pouch?

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 Start drinking protein shakes NOW. You are going thru a lot just because of the surgery and add to that your boy friend leaving. You need the protein for your body to function correctly and then you will be better able to cope with the other problems. I had my surgery 2 days before you and I'm now drinking 5-6 8 ounce shakes a day and not eating anything for another 2 weeks. I feel great.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 No need to apologize, as even those of us here in the US have different names for things(not just food) in different parts of the country (e.g. - the thing you drink water from, here in s.e. Wisconsin, we call them bubblers, but other places refer to them as drinking fountains). Jeanne's DH, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave, we call them bubblers in RI too, and get odd stares in other states when we ask if there's a bubbler around! I've always thought it odd that Wisconsin is so far away, yet they call it a bubbler - but if I cross the border to Connecticut or Massachusetts, they don't know the word. Everyone knows a fountain is one of those sculptures in parks with water coming out of it! <G> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 I am new to this group....what is UFE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), or Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE), as it's more commonly referred to, is a non-surgical, less invasive option for treatment of fibroids wherein the blood supply to the fibroid(s) is cut off, causing them to degenerate and die (shrink). Check out www.fibroidoptions.com for lots more info, as well as the Yahoo embo group. Gynecologists often seem to neglect telling patients about this option. (It's not performed by gynecologists; it's performed by interventional radiologists.) Ellen E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Hi my name is Sharon - to answer your question - I have the same problems as you - my bladder is the number one thing that has had me in surgery so many times - I have had two Myo (in order to have children) I now have two (7 and 8 years old) so I'm done with having kids - I also had to have two C-sections for their births - then because of all of my surgeries I had to a another operations because of adhesion had blocked my bowels - now the fibroids (which grew back of course) make me have to go to the bathroom every 45 min to a hour - I am having a UFE tomorrow at 10:30 AM to see if this will help with the problem - I'll let you know if it does - I'll be off work starting then for 8 days afterwards not just for the procedure - but I was taking off work to move anyway and decided to have it done while I was off - I don't know if I will need that much time to recuperate - the doctor said about a week - is all that it usually takes before you feel good enough to return to normal activity. I am also 41 years old and don't want to have another Myo or a Hys right now - so hopefully this will work until Menopause. If you want to e-mail my address is (swithey@...) Bye now.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 I had hoped for significant weight loss after myo. i did lose about 10 lbs initially-- because it took me a few weeks to get my appetite fully back. but once it returned, and i still wasnt exercising, the weight came back. i wouldnt put too much hope in permanent weight loss due to the myo.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 What are thrush/cystitis symptoms? nna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 I've never had cystitis and I have fibroids. I would think it's a coincidence. However, I do know that fibroids cause pressure on other organs, so it possibly could happen, but I'm not sure? I had a myomectomy a couple of years ago and I have fibroids again. I'm supposed to have a sonogram in a couple of weeks and I will take it from there. At this point I do not have any symptoms, just some pressure and a small tummy, which I would like to get rid of. I was told that I could live with the fibroids, but I'll have to exercise to reduce the growth? Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 Many thanks to all of you who have responded. It seems like I'm not alone in having thrush/yeast problems. I see a specialist about this in two weeks time so will let you know what the outcome is. To nna - you really don't want to know what the symptoms are, do you? Oh well, okay then. Hope this doesn't make your eyes water!! Pain, burning, itching, raw, sore feeling around the vaginal entrance. Pain/burning on passing urine, and if all that isn't enough, a lovely discharge which has the appearance of cottage cheese.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 What are thrush/cystitis symptoms? nna [andra Pappou] I don't know much about cystitis but thrush can give you a yeast smelling yellow discharge and in addition you may experience tenderness in the area and itchiness. I hope this helps andra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Dear Yolanda, I have been wanting to write you and tell you how much I enjoy every one of your posts. I hope no one takes offense because your letters are of encouragement to each and everyone one of us. Unless I missed a post I do not think anyone is referring to your words of praise. Thank you Yolanda and God Bless. > Hi PLS Friends, > > I read the posts about finding offense in religious and political issues. I do very much want to apologize if I have offended anyone here, it was never my intention. I do realize we are all different and have different beliefs. I have been offended by posts that have had sexual innuendos, but I have used my delete button, I don't believe anyone on this list intentionally tried to offend me. I could say the only thing we have in common is our neurological disease, but that would be ignorant because I also see that when one of us has a serious concern how so many of us come forward and offer consolation through an experience, an encouraging word, or a promise to uphold them in prayer. Because of this I believe we all have many things in common and though we may not understand why each one believes what he/she believes, we do understand that having each other, at this critical time, takes priority. I have been encouraged by many of you and I look forward to reading your posts everyday. Don't feel left out if I say God Bless or I'll pray for someone, I really have grown to hold each of you very dear to my heart. You are all very special to me. Again, I apologize.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Yolanda, Since I wrote that little ditty about suggesting what not to bring up, I want to respond. Your writings is not what I am talking about. Now if you would start saying that the reason we are sick is because we have all sinned and repent, well that's different. Or my religion is better than yours... When someone says " God Bless you " , they are not trying to force their religion on you, they are giving you a comment in the best, deepest way they know how. You (not you Yolanda ;-), may not even believe in God but you understand how the person is saying it... does this help? or am I making it murkier? dale > > I read the posts about finding offense in religious and political issues.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 The other thing that can cause it is one day of taking your HC/Isocort in too high a dose or too long between doses or even skipping a dose. This just happened to me. My Candida was under control and I had a day where I couldn't remember if I took it or not then took another dose later and sure enough the next day I was itching like crazy and the Candida was flaring up. I think our bodies are very reactive while we are trying to stabilize them so a small change can be big. I was shocked how one day could throw me off so badly (with sleep and other issues too). I think this confirms why Val always says to take it slowly, and some of our bodies react stronger and quicker than others. I seem to have a very reactive one, probably because my toxicity levels are high (which yours might be too) and the added strain on the liver to process can lead to Candida overgrowth. So in my case it wasn't too much Isocort overall, it was not staying on schedule when my body was accustomed to the routine and it confused my immunity or just overloaded the liver or something. Just something to consider. If one day of Isocort could do that to me, I think one day of Florinef or even T3 meds or whatever could cause a flare-up in sensitive people. If you feel it was Florinef, then it is just learning for next time. I certainly got back on my Isocort schedule and dosage pronto and while I still have the candida problem now, my lesson is to go buy a timer watch and make sure I take the right dosage at the right time. Cheri Re: Val So your theory is that the one overdose caused all my T3 to be used up and made me hypo and caused the severe flare-up? It's a little hard for me to grasp this because when I went back to my regular dose and raised thyroid, I still had the issue. The only thing that started to give me relief was decreasing florinef. And for the record, my temps. during this time were a steady 98.6 so I don't think candida thriving at low temps. factored in. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
