Guest guest Posted October 11, 2000 Report Share Posted October 11, 2000 Hi Diann and anyone else interested in the oatmeal stuff. Someone posted the oatmeal information about a month or so ago and had a whole routine with oatmeal. I am still e group challenged so I don't know how you would go back and find the old messages. I erased my old messages, darn! I started using the Aveeno moisturizing cream and added the Aveeno moisturizing soap. I only have to use Novacet (a topical sulfur cream) once a day. Previously, I used it three or four times a day and had to take minocycline. I am off the antibiotics. I wash my face with the soap in the morning, use the Novacet, wait ten minutes and then use the Aveeno cream. The oatmeal soap is drying, even though it says moisturizing but the cream seems to keep my skin moisturized enough, and I live in a dry desert in Arizona. I use it around my eyes too and it doesn't irritate them. Then I add a sunscreen. The cream seems to protect me from any reaction to sunscreen. It definitely has oatmeal in it and while it disappears on your skin, it leaves a matte look, not shiny. I use it at night too but not the Novacet. My roceacea was the type with small acne and flushing, so I can't guarantee it will work for you. It is very cheap, about $7 for a 4 oz. jar of cream. I think the soap is $3-4 and you can buy it at any American drugstore in the skincare aisle. Whoever first posted this idea- thank you so much! Oatmeal rules! To Just read your message and would like to know what Aveeno products you use and where to get them. Do you clean your face with oatmeal? If so , what kind and how?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 You are fine, you are not sounding schizoid ! My boss is schizoid, I'll show you schizoid ! You have to do what you need to do. It will come to you and you will feel that it is right for you when it happens. So don't be feeling guilty about anything. The VA needs to get moving and provide adequate and speedy relief. No sense in aging in the process ! Take care, Lily Pain treatment Hello everyone. I hope the meetings in Indy went well. So much has happened to me in the last few weeks. I am still on Morphine Sulfate Slow Release (12 hrs) 15 mg twice a day. I also was given 10 mg. Morphine instant release for break through pain. It has worked okay but the 15 mg slow release is too low a dose and needs adjusting. The doc wants me to have a Celiac Plexus Block. Not too sure how I feel and think about that. Thinking it is worth a try. My business life has had a few bumps in the road. Here is something good though. Looks like one of my old (since 1999) money claims against a company I used to do business with, will finally pay off next month. If all works out, I'll have a couple of years of future pay stored up. It looks that way too! I can never give up on life. I am the luckiest guy in America! Every time I think something is bad ... it turns out GREAT! Karma or whatever. Who cares! It always seems good things happen to me. PAIN TREATMENT INFORMATION: I am dealing with a new company out of Dallas Texas called Madison Pain Clinic. I gave up on the Veterans Hospital too soon. Anyway it is not cheap. This clinic will have a nurse come to your house (blood work) and have a doctor call you from the pain clinic. They offer six months worth of pain meds like hydrocodone 15 mg. with none or only 30 mg of Tyelnol in each cap. This is for serious pain patients and you cannot use them if any recreational drugs are found in your system. It cost 299.00 for the doctor and nurse for the first six months. (meds cost extra - hydro 15 mg. is 1.75 each) I'll let anyone interested in them know how they treat me. I just saw the nurse last Wednesday. NOTE: I may not follow through with them because of a contract with the pain clinic at the Veterans Hospital. I did sign a contract saying I would only get my medication from one doctor. It is just taking them so long to get me adequate pain treatment. I sound schizoid. Gay Florida State Rep PANCREATITIS Association, Intl.

I've gotta tell ya, when I had my main bile duct reconstructed, they opened up my entire abdomen, and it didn't even come close to the pain I felt when I had my gallbladder removed. I also had mine done laproscoptically (sp?). After I woke up from the GB surgery, the pain was so excruitiating that I was screaming! The nurse came over and brought me a warm water bottle to put on my stomach to ease some of pain and she told me to try and pass as much gas as I could. The reason for that is that when the docs go in there with the scope, they pump your abdomen up with air in order to get at the gallbladder, and that is what causes the pain. So, try to remember that when they bring you into the recovery room. My surgeon wasn't too enthusiastic about the percentage of getting better either. They must know something they're not telling us. As far as the jello is concerned, you really shouldn't put anything into your mouth prior to surgery. You might want to just try some ice chips to wet your whistle. Well, good luck on Tuesday (your surgery's on Tuesday, right?)...and as always, you'll be in my prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2001 Report Share Posted November 17, 2001 Hi , it's me . I am starting to get nervous about my GB surgery on Tuesday! I can't help but think this is not the answer. My hubby and my folks think I will be 'a new woman'!!! I feel that they are wrong! Everything I read and know about this CP I am sure it is that! I realize this is the first step especially since I have never had any levels elevated. I trust Dr. Lehman but even his percentages aren't very encouraging!(35 to55%) These are the percentages he gave that he thinks it will help! My surgeon thinks about the same. How long of a recovery period should I expect? I am hoping a week only. Is that about right? He is doing it through the scope. He would only do the large cut if I have too much scarring in the ducts. Please pray he wouldn't have to do that. They changed the surgery time from 2:00 to 2:45! Yuk! Even though I don't eat much these days that is a long time w/o food or water! I guess I can have jello before 8:00 am but still!! Sorry, I seem to be whinning! I do hope you are feeling Ok.
