Guest guest Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 There has been much discussion over the past month about this. You can go back and check the archives for more info. I believe the consensus was to use an athlete's foot cream, and to keep the area as clean and dry as possible. Jeanne in WI Age 39 Open RNY 05/21/2002 314/ 233/150-175 5' 8 " djgraves@...

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hello group, I'm 33 years old single never been married and never had a child. I see no marriage or child in the near future. I need some help with some long hard question to myself that I have been thinking about for one year. I found out that I have uterine fibroid last year in April. i was very shocked by this but my doctor seemed not to worried. She say you can take them out if it really bothers you or just have them in there until you decided to have a child. My fibroid are growing because i could feel them. My insurance is about to end in three months and I have applied to several health insurances companies and they have denied me because of my fibroid. So i am thinking about removing them and I need someone to talk to who have experience this and had surgery taking them out. HELP????QUESTIONS???ANSWERS????

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Adam, After being diagnosed with PLS now for almost two years now my neur just two days ago still shook her head and said she couldn't believe I don't have ALS but the EMGs keep coming back normal. Two years ago I had my first real symptom. Today I am totally w/c bound, little coordination (takes me forever just to type this), extreme exhaustion/brain fog, trouble speaking and swallowing... Like you I was extremely active, got your same symptoms and then some. Since PLS is in the ALS family look at this as a continuum with server ALS on one end and minor PLS on the other. The middle gets murky with Hawkins on the low end of ALS (or middle) and people like me in the high end of PLS or again in the middle. I can't write much since it takes me so long but I hope this helps and keep asking questions. dale Help > > > After having read some of the symptoms of ALS, my heart goes out to > those who are afflicted. > > I was wondering if someone would be open enough to discuss my > symptoms as I fear that I have ALS.
