Hi There

The other question is what Testosterone type: Total T, Free T etc

As per my first reply, get your lab results which will include blood test

name, result and reference range.

I lived, work and studied in Canada: Which province? Are you attending a

University Teaching Hospital? That's what is needed.

Take care

Dear , Phil and Dave and all the other friendly folks,

I don't know what kind of testo my 1.1 is. It's amazing. I'm

51 years old I've had this all my life, and I'm just learning

about it now. They is so much to learn.

Dear Philip,

Thank and sorry. Thanks for the information, and sorry for sending

you a blank note by accident.

My endo told me that my level was 1.1

He gave no units, however he did say it was a scale from one

to ten. Does that mean my testosterone level is 1.1nmol/L?

Please write. Thanking you in advance.

Coleen,

I also slept very well while on Rocephin 1g via PICC Line. All of my

most recent spasms in the chest resolved during this treatment and

havn't come back. I had an acute Lyme infection early August and was

Treated with Rocephin the month of this Novemebr. I did feel worse

after the first week of treatment first. I also developed new symptoms,

flying stabbing a nd needeling pains. All of this has abated after 2

weeks of the Rocephin therapy. -- Lida

Coleen, are you taking the rocephin intramuscularly? Was this your first

treatment w/ abx? I am wondering if I can take my abx that way so I can bypass

the stomach since my esophagus is really sensitive.

Margh,

Yes, that's how I take it and the reason is because I am celiac and it

hasn't healed yet and any oral anything messes up my stomach For the first

two months it was 1 gram every 4 days, then went to every other day

Home nursing comes to my house and gives me the shot

Carol, I think a few of us on here have had that

trouble. Seems I remember some posts about it and we had various

diagnosis for it. Lota help that is to ya, huh? My Rheumy told me that

it was Carpal Tunnel and recommended wrists braces to keep my wrists

straight. I did not like them so now I just sleep with pillows under my

arms to keep myself from " curling " up and if I do lay on my side, I

have a pillow between my knees AND one to my side to prop my arm on so

it stays straight. It's a big ordeal but it works for me. There are

other things that can cause this numbness though and I hope others give

you more info. -Betz

It's funny you mention it. I went through a period of having my hands/arms fall

asleep nightly for a while. I would wake up and realize one arm or the other

was numb. It may have nothing to do with PA, but I haven't had it happen again

since starting Remicade.

I experienced numbness and tingling when on Enbrel (due to

demyelination - which is rare), but it can happen for a good number

of reasons, including swelling of the joints though which nerves

pass.

From your neck and upper back comes the brachial plexus of nerves

that run through your shoulder and branch off in various ways into

your arms. Your hands are mostly served by three of these branching

nerves: median, ulnar, and radial. These nerves serve different

parts of your hands and they also branch off accordingly. If all of

your hands are affected, I would be hesitant to believe that it is

swelling in your wrists causing it. If only portions of your hands

are affected, then I would consider it could be something to do with

swelling as related to the area where a nerve passes.

If both hands are affected, then I would think it has something to

do with your cervical or upper thoracic spine (but, I am NOT a

DOCTOR - nor does what I say have any weight). It could be any of a

number of things unrelated to PA or your medications - like poor

circulation. I have only made the above comments to help others

think about how I try to decern what is caused by my PA and what may

be unrelated.

The following link relates to the nerves of the arm:

Thanks for the input. My hands go to sleep during the day while

I am doing something. At night they go numb. They are not painful.

I found a new lump on the back of my knee today. One more shez.

I'm tired..achey.. And have an 8 hour shift on my feet yet to be done.

Some days I wish I could just stay home. (today). Enjoy the afternoon.

Yes! My hands go to sleep,I have nerve pain, etc..because of the

bone spurs on my C-spine...and the muscle spasms I have due to

same. We sometimes think of the 'go to sleep' reaction as only a

circulatory problem. It can, at times, be caused nerve irritation

or damage with no corresponding circulatory problem.

good luck..

Hi Judy,

I'm currently working in the Drug Court field in Louisiana and have been

watching this forum since it began to make certain that we're not infringing on

personal rights as it appears most of you have experienced. The answer to your

question in my experience is that you'll likely need to have your lawyer

subpoena those records. I don't think, short of that, that you'll get them from

the medical facilities. Just my humble opinion.

If you payed the bill, the information is yours. If you were not the responsible

party, then the records are still most likely yours. You must request with a

HIPPA compliant letter specifically stating the date range of services, all

original and taped notes, all copies of who has seen the records. Sign and

notarize it requesting a copy within seventy two hours. Send it with a return

receipt and certified mail request. At ninetysix hours repeat the same, and

indicate you are seeking a suponea. Include a copy with a letter of complaint

to his medical board. At two weeks file a complaint with the board and begin

suing him alleging alteration of records.

A Question

Today the lawyer filing the class action suit called me. He had a

number of questions I couldn't answer, among them exactly what my

EtG level had been. The psychiatrist who consigned me to Purgatory on

the basis of it didn't deign to share that detail - among others -

with me.

What I need are my actual medical records from the evaluation and

treatment; those should contain all the info I need. With luck it

will also include his clinical impression *before* he got the EtG

result. And my unwavering insistence that I hadn't relapsed.

My question: can I just request the records for myself under HIPAA?

Or do I have to have my medical provider request them (the

psychiatrist I have now is a mensch, thank goodness).

If anyone knows the answer, please tell me.

Thanks ---- Judy

Judy,

HIPAA does allow you to request your records, but mental

health notes are protected and you may not be given the notes. You are entitled to a summary of services if

they do not provide the records. If the

records are from non-mental health providers (e.g., PCP), than you should be

able to request them directly. Check

with your state statutes about specific criteria and laws that are designed to

protect patients.

I recently had problems with my pinky and ring finger becoming

painful, weak and numb - of course I assumed it was PA as I am prone

to blame everything on that now. Found out it had nothing to do

with PA, it was pinched nerves in my elbow. It happens to those who

have jobs sitting at a computer all day or who do not use ergonic

apparatuses when on the computer. Talk with a PT or anyone who

would be versed in proper sitting and typing posture. It was

recommended for me to lift my chair so my elbows don't hit the

desk/chair arms anymore. After a week the numbness went away. :)

I had a partial knee replacement Nov 20 and it feels like it pinches me sometimes. my knee still has some swelling and it is still warm(healing) I just figure it is nerves healing and pt has said that it takes a long time to get rid of all the pain. My muscles are getting stronger and the knee don't feel so unstable when I walk, You have a long way to go, be careful, and keep working on making your legs stronger and moving them. Sometimes I feel pin pricks in my scar and shooting pains in the knee. I have found that when I rub my knee with vit E and pain reliever stuff it helps the pain.

Please DO call the doctor and have him either see you or at least talk
