Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Lanie, I personally think you are right to be concerned about your mom. At least maybe talk her into going to her pcp or the ER and have lab work done. She is probably dehydrated if she can't keep anything down and needs to be in the hospital on IV. W Question... I am not sure what to do. My mom has CP and has been vomiting for about a week straight. She cannot keep anything down. She is going about her business as usual and pretending nothing is wrong. Am I being over protective thinking that this bout could kill her/severely damage her or am I valid in my concerns? I want her to go to a doctor but she dumped her gastro because he sucked and now won't find a new one. I just don't know what to do? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you, Lanie>> YOU can't do anything, Lanie. Your Mom has to learn to take care of herself. She needs to see a doc ASAP. Her electrolytes are already screwed-up. Don't take responsibility for someone who won't care for themselves. You will end up frustrated and feeling guilty. Sorry, but people who foolishly ignore their own health warning signs get no sympathy from me. Each of us has to make a commitment to care about our own selves - no one can do that for you.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Thank you Jerry. I know you are right. I am the one that holds the family together. I have to do all I can to make sure she is ok or I couldn't live with myself. I will do all I can, but the hard part is up to her. I think I got thru a bit earlier. We will see what tomorrow brings.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Thanks , I just talked to her about it and told her she will end up in ER before Christmas if she doesn't try harder to take care of herself.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Terri..Hi! As a matter of fact I had a litany of grand mal seizures with my chiari. This was actually how it was finally correctly diagnosed. Initially they thought it was a " severe sinus infection " . Wrong! I actually had 3 seizures during my first MRI...not fun. They would haul me out...stabilize me and start again! If I can try to answer any questions about this, please ask! Best wishes, Sally R ACM..Decompression '91...

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Hi everyone. I had surgery back on Jan. 28, 2003....so I'm about 11 months out. My question is how long did your surgeons tell you that you should wait before you got pregnant? I am not pregnant right now, but SO want another child. I've already lost 150lbs. I'm below 200lbs for the first time in many many years. I'm still losing. I'm drinking my protein drinks, taking my iron, calcium, and ALL kinds of other vitamins that my surgeon requires us to take following wls. Just wanting to know when is it " ok " to get pregnant?

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Most surgeons suggest waiting until your weight stabilizes but at least a year. I have heard many recommendations that have gone up to two years. So basically you may want to talk to your surgeon and see what he/she recommends. My surgeon said 1 year but I know BTC is currently telling patients to wait 18 months. Rasley mailto: drasley@... BTC, Columbus, 10/7/98 Question... > Hi everyone.
