Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 ngsamuelson [ngsamuelson@...] Ya just want to shoot the guy, my husband. It's like everything I tell him goes in one ear and out the other ear. Hi , Boy, do I know what you mean by THAT! Men are usually bad at listening, I mean HEARING and ABSORBING what we're saying! Mine is horrible also. He also has ADD, so that doesn't help things at all. I swear he hears things completely backwards at times! It's VERY frustrating! I sympathize with you. As far as your Ortho goes, it sounds like to me, you need a new one - someone who will listen to you and trust that you know your own body! Any chance of that? I'm sorry for your kitties! Our pets are just like children, especially if they are your only children. Knowing they're cats/dogs/birds etc. does not change the love we have for them, does it? I hope she gets better soon, and I hope and pray YOU do too! Hang in there - glad you wrote in to vent. It helps sometimes. Love Lana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely, S. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Sorry nancy - They actually grow the skin cells from the punch biopsy they took from your arm. You've heard of growing skin cells for skin grafts? I think it's a similar thing. They have to have enough skin cells grown to do the microscopic exam on them. There are different collagens in the body and they look for those types of collagen on the genes...where the collagen " code " is kept. I know from our biopsies, they were looking for VEDS type of collagen. I don't know if the researchers look at the other types or not.
