Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I am so sorry to hear of your pain and swelling. At least you can take some comfort in knowing that there are a lot of other people out there who have gone through similar pain. We know how you feel. My Dr. told me that eating meat can increase inflamation. I've heard that it's good to avoid nightshade vegatables (tomatoes, peppers, etc. ). I've heard that fish oil pills help with inflamation. I personally love to take baths when I am all swollen. If you are able to get in and out of the tub you might try that. I've heard peroxide baths mentioned on here several times. I think you put a bunch of epsom salt in the tub, soak in it and then fill the tub with a dilution of hydrogen peroxide. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope the situation with the IV's gets resolved soon. Clara madelyfs <madelyfs@...> wrote: Hello everyone.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'm curious about this stuff in the bath thing. I have an infectious diseases doc that tells me I need to take my bath once a month with a cup of bleach in it. (Yes I take a bath more than once a month. I just put bleach in it once a month for a week.) The Doc says It's supposed to kill certain naturally occuring bacteria on the outside of the skin. Anybody have any idea about this??? Related to the peroxide or epsom salts? michael > > I am so sorry to hear of your pain and swelling.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi , I read about using bleach in some old health books (written in the 70s) but doing this did not resonate with me. I have filters on my showers to take out chlorine (and other chemicals) so it did not make sense to add essentially chlorine back into the bath water and soak in it. I feel much safer soaking in peroxide and certainly recommend it for whenever you feel 'icky.' Peroxide will certainly kill bacteria and it's never been linked to cancer whereas the dioxins in bleach certainly have been. Hope this helps. El rheumatic Re: Help needed!!

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 ...That's the first I have heard of putting a cup of bleach into the bath water. I know Hydrogen Peroxide is an antibacterial and use that. It does not have the smell of bleach and I do hate the bleach smell. Wouldn't going swimming be good then too?? That is chlorine that is used to keep the water clean. Just a thought!! Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Thanks Martha... I appreciate the thought. The problem I have is I am a double leg amputee... Swimming is a bit difficult for me. The other problem I have is after I drain the bath water, I have to run myself under the faucet because I need to wash the layer of bleach water off me... It's kinda hard when you don't have one of those detachable shower heads... The job gets done, but it's really a pain in the patoot... Thanks to everyone for all the ideas and help...

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Erethyma nodosum and lower leg edema eventually respond very well to conventional treatment and medication. If they did not respond completely with the initial treatment, then simply revisit for more treatment.

Things are moving very slowly and during this > waiting game Hi Debra, I know it sometimes seems like a long time to wait for a response from Dr. Franco and/or his staff. I've been there. He and his staff routinely work until 7:00 p.m. in the evenings (he sees patients on Mondays - Wednesdays, and processes insurance paperwork on Thursdays) -- in fact, I received a return call from , Dr. Franco's nurse this week. I had left a message earlier in the day and to my surprise she called me that evening, asked if I could talk to Dr. Franco right then, as he will be out of town in July. (Few doctors will even talk to their patients on the phone, and many insist they make an office appointment.) Keep trying -- Dr. Franco is one of the few doctors who really understands rheumatic diseases. He's worth the wait.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Yes, I realize how busy they are. I have spoken to several times and have also spoken to Dr. Franco in the past. Its just very frustrating right now because of the pain I'm in and because my hometown doctor doesn't really know how to help me and if I go back to the traditional rheumy he'll just put me on all that awful medicine. I'm just really concerned about the inflammmation and shooting pain I've been experiencing lately. This condition just seems to be getting worse.

I have been in serious need of help for a decision on how and what to do for my breast explantation. I got them about three years ago (saline under) and I was so paranoid they were going to be too big for my size 2 frame. And they were. I asked for a full C but instead received a full D. I have tried to deal with it and bought and entire new wardrobe since I wore xs size before. Now I am happy if a medium fits. I never wanted to draw that much attention to my chest. But with that being said, here is the real reason I am here. Between Vanderbilt Hospital *I live in Nashville* and the Mayo Clinic, they cannot find what is wrong with me. Did I mention about 30k in testing? I am now waiting to see an endocrinologist about this orthostatic tachycardia that I have to see if it could be related to an adrenal issue. I am so tired of doctors and not feeling well. Did I also mention I am 34 years old and on 80mg of Nadalol just to control my heart rate? However, my norepinepherine is high as well as my aldosterone levels are through the roof. These symptoms have been progressively getting worse since the implants three years ago. I really think I need them out. I am worried about the cost since I just paid Vanderbilt 2k for all of their tests that told me nothing. Mayos bills are arriving as I type. My question. Anyone heard of correlation of saline implants and orthostatic tachycardia or other endocrine disorders? Also, who in Nashville does the explant?? There has to be someone here in this big wealthy city. I would appreciate ANY help! THANK YOU in advance! Dawn stressin in Nashville... .
