Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Dave, You have to leave all sugar alone for the first couple weeks...then introduce the natural sugar (as in fruit) a little at at time. Eat it in the morning only and limit it to 1/2 cup. Also some fruits have more sugar than others. I read in my book (The Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook) that if you take biotin after every meal it helps keep the yeast from growing as fast. I need to read this book from cover to cover! I am starting again on this diet strict. I varied from the diet slightly yesterday and am paying for it today! UGH! moons --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Apparently there are different types or forms of biotin. What is the best form to take? Also, how much should be taken after each meal?

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 Yes, I believe that is correct. And I'm definitely iffy about this, but think the D- is natural and L- is synthetic. In addition, the natural can be obtained or derived from various sources, some of which are usually better than others ... Does anyone know for sure what D and L stand for?

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 All I know about the D and L is regarding vitamin E. DL -alpha is synthetic and D-alpha is natural. I think of it this way....DL=Does Less. moons --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 Dave, when I first left my husband I moved away to another state and I had to send the kids to him for the summers and every other holiday and spring break. Maybe you can work out the same deal?? - Kerry For me things didn't workout in the other state and We moved back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Yes, I do recall the maximum per year. That wasn't a factor for me. The FMLA commits your company to allowing the leave. I guess that doesn't mean they can't allow this as well, it's just not protected by this law. So it will be all up to your company now. The FMLA does not provide pay, so if you were paid, that did come out of a short-term disability fund from your company. Whether they have an annual limit or not you will have to find out. At any rate most of us did not take any leave when starting the treatment. I was lucky enough to have it available and I took advantage of it. I could have done without it, though I missed a few days more than normal during the year I was on treament. Good luck to you. -dz- <chrissea10@...> wrote: Hi Dave,I am familiar with the Family Medical Leave Act, the problem is that I believe you only get 12 weeks per year.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Dave, I think it is great that your insurance gave you up to 5 days, I think that is how it works today, you can usually leave earlier, just can't stay more. If you have a good PT I think that will be great, unfortunately I too have had some I don't consider good. As for your sister, the OT she will probably be able to get you some of this stuff at cost, or " samples " from the company. My daughters are giving me theirs to use, the ones they had to purchase while in school. Wishing you the best of all, and a pain free life in your future! ilene In a message dated 8/11/2009 12:43:50 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, chavezd@... writes: Ilene, According to the order for certification from my insurance, it lists 5 days as the length of my hospital stay. If all goes well and I respond quickly, I don't know if I will be able to leave before this time is up, or if I will have to wait out the whole 5 days. I'm sure it is for the best if I take advantage of each day, but I don't like having to stay in hospitals for too long, feeling confined. I'm one to get annoyed with all the disruptions and restrictions. I guess that I will have to quickly learn to accept being able to do a whole lot less, since my abilities will be greatly diminished. Like you, I am reluctant to have physical therapy. While playing football in middle school, I suffered a left knee injury when it was awkwardly hit. Nothing was found to be broken, but I was put in PT. Since my back was giving me problems as well, I was " taught " the many exercises that could relieve the pain. Needless to say, I found PT to be a complete joke. Implemented for certain instances, it is a complete waste of time and money. On my own, I was doing not only these simple exercise, but also a whole lot more strength training and conditioning, as I was involved in many different types of sports and athletic teams. For the politicos whom are pushing Obama's health care, they first need to reform the current methods and get rid of the abundant waste from all of the unnecessary treatments and procedures. Doctors need to stop recommending and ordering for the purpose of fattening their own pockets and the pockets of their " supporters " Post-surgery, I understand that it will take a lot of patience, labor, and time for me to get back to my old, " pain-free " self. I know for sure that aqua therapy will play a central role in my recovery. As far as that, I am unable to recollect what else the doc told me that he will have me do. However, I do know that any and all PT will be of prime importance, and am willing to do all which is needed. I hope that I could have a nurse come visit and help me! That would be kinda cool, especially if they can cook some 5 course meals! I'm definately going to be taking your advice and ask for the OT dept. Already, you have been such a tremendous help. Never would I have thought about the ideas you have offered, or realized that some of this stuff exists and could be taken care of by my insurance. Although my sister manages an OT dept among a group of assisted living facilities, I don't believe she would know about the back issue needs of recovering patients. I will find out and will definately contact you if you our your daughters could be of assistance. Much thanks, dave ________________________________ From: " _Ileney54@..._ (mailto:Ileney54@...)

Please tell your doctor ahead of time your wishes to have an OT evaluation before you go home. Please let him know why, he will be more out to make sure you have it before going home. (unfortunately most hospitals are under staffed with OT's). During the evaluation a good OT will know what you need to do your Activities Of Daily Living (ADL). When I had L surgery in 2000 I didn't want to go to rehab, I had HS age children home, and opted to have a visiting nurse. I didn't want an aid, but did have PT. They didn't do any real exercises, but she helped me with stairs, and walking outside. If you live alone or even if you don't your insurance may provide you with visiting home nursing, since there are so many things you will not be able to do for yourself. This usually includes an aid for a few mornings a week that can help you with showers, light cleaning, and meal preparations. They can also send in a PT and an OT for at least an evaluation. My daughters usually push for rehab for people that live alone, and those that have had major reconstruction with spine surgeries. Dave if you have any questions for my daughters please let me know. ilene In a message dated 8/11/2009 1:00:15 A.M.

They said most hospitals where you will be having the surgery have OT's and that prior to surgery you can ask your doctor if you can contact the OT office in the hospital, they will be able to order and have all the things that will aid you in getting dressed delivered to your house, and they can come up to your room and show you how to use them properly too, this includes a raised toilet seat. The basic commode that fits over a regular toilet is covered by most insurances, so they suggest that one, it is the most economical, the other more " fancy " ones aren't covered by insurance. They also said a shower chair is important, but is not covered by insurance. For lumbar surgery for those that don't have a stall shower there is something called a " shower bench " it fits over the bathtub and aids you in sliding into the bath without having to raise your legs, not exactly sure how it works by they said it is beneficial for those who have had lumbar surgery and will have difficulty raising their legs.
