Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hello! I posted last month about my daughter and I really appreciate the information. I was looking at some of the pictures and her feet clearly we're not staight enough. Hence the blisters from the dbb shoes. We're going back to Shriners and she's back in casts. Thanks,Juli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Juli, Thanks for updating us! I'm glad you were able to determine that there was a problem with your daughter's feet. What doctor/Shriner's hospital are you seeing? Are the last casts that are applied to achieve correction rotating the foot outward at a 70 degree angle? The foot almost looks " backwards " in this cast. There are pictures available that show this is you're not sure what I'm asking....let me know if you haven't seen them and I'll post a link. Please keep us posted! & (3-16-00), left clubfoot > > Hello! I posted last month about my daughter and I really appreciate > the information.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 No actually the cast were perfectly straight forward. and her foot has relapsed quit a bit. Originally (at birth) her foot was turned so much that her big toes touched her inner calves. When they did the tendonectomy her feet were straight. the thing that was odd was that the week before the original doctor told us it would be three more weeks or so before the surgery but then he changed his mind the next week and had us schedule. Also we're in Oregon and going to Portland the only shriners hospital here. Oh and her feet are now curved in. and is it normal for her toes to curve in so much and be pushed on top of eachother? Thanks Juli > > > > Hello! I posted last month about my daughter and I really > appreciate > > the information.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 You are not alone in noticing the positive effects of multi-dosing! It better imitates what our thyroid's, if healthy, would be doing anyway. And I am so glad to read that you are inspired to go upwards again. It can make the difference. If someone is flagging in energy 5 hours after a thyroid dose, it's a sure sign that you don't have enough thyroid hormones in your body in the first place. I take 2 grains in the morning, one grain in the early-to-mid afternoon, and 1/4 grain a bedtime. If I did blood work the next mid- morning (without taking my morning dose), my free T3 is still in the top 1/4 of the range. That's a good sign that I am on an optimal dose! In fact, I have started experimenting with takien 1/2 grain at bedtime.......to see. You are on your way!
