Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Sounds like your doctor is pretty good guy.. Looking after you and all..Be happy he is not just ignoring the whole thing.. Have a wonderful vacation Hon.. Enjoy the new Llama baby, teals etc..Take your time getting healthy.. Love ya Kathy Boo. -- doctor They have me scheduled at a larger hospital on May 3rd for a Pulmonary Function Test... oh joy. My ex-ray looks good but the combo of lungs still hurting, weakness, and still rattling under the stethoscope leads the doc to suspect possible early stage of emphazima (hope spell check catches that one, lol). Of course, he is the same sweet doc that had me go to the Cardio guy when my ticker was just fine. But, where there are still some problems we need to find out what is going on I guess. He also gave me a couple of samples of a different inhaler used one puff twice a day. This is not a mist but a powder that will coat the lungs... ok what ever? Doc and I talked about going back to work. I said in a way I would like to but the germ bags scare the hell out of me. He agreed, feels it might be ok, but especially where I am still having trouble we decided the bus can do without me for the rest of the school year. That's all for now, I am pooped!

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hi all, I've read all of your posts, but Jody's post has intrigued me, so I was prompted to write. My husband was recently diagnosed with Hepatitis C. The family doctor referred him to a gastroenterologist. When we went to see him, hubby came away from the visit shaking his head and announced that he had no faith in the man. For example, when hubby asked doctor how expensive the treatment was, the doctor asked him if he could afford to buy a new car? Hubby replied that it depended on what kind of car it was! This doctor poopood the remark and promptly ushered us out of the office after giving hubby a requisition to have a liver biopsy done. The doctor then told him that they could talk some more after the results from the biopsy were announced. Since Jody wrote that finding the right doctor was very important, how do you go about finding one that is very knowledgable and caring. Hubby has tons of questions to ask a very patient doctor. So do I! Reading the posts have really helped me deal with the uncertainty of this disease. We just celebrated our 25th. anniversary. Hubby seems to have caught " the bug " about 28 years ago, and it has been dormant all these years! in Indiana --------------------------------- Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Ask the nurses ....they know the doctors. The treatment is very expensive but insurance covers it.....Medicaid does too. If you don't have insurance, both of the drug companies that make the meds used for treatment have programs that will provide the meds for free. The reason the doctor didn't want to discuss treatment is because he doesn't know if your husband will really need it. If the liver biopsy finds that there is no liver damage and hubby has had hep C for 28 years, then he can choose not to treat. If however he has cirrhosis then the risk of decompensation (when the liver no longer works)is high and he may want to treat. .....Hepatitis C is not really dormant.....it's chronic...and it usually takes 20 or 30 years to show any symptoms even though sometimes the damage is already advanced, people may have been symptom free all that time. Do you know what genotype he has? Genotype 1 is more common.....about 70% of people who have hep c have genotype 1.....which is the more difficult to treat. Treatment is one year. In most cases if you took treatment for less time you would relapse, specially if he has alot of damage and he's over 50. On the other hand a genotype 2 or 3 only needs 24 weeks of treatemnt and they are now trying 12 weeks only on people who clear the virus in the first week....but for those that don't clear in 4 weeks they take the treatment for 24 weeks. If you have a genotype 2 or 3 but already have cirrhosis then it's a year. That is why it is best to have all the information together before you try to decide what to do. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Allie, check out Dr Gross in South Carolina. http://www.grossortho.com/ I found his info when looking into resurfacing on the SurfaceHippy group. I would be comfortable with him doing THR as well. He does the minimally invasive hip surgery. Since you have an old osteotomy I'm wondering if you a dysplasia patient? You may want to check out the docs in the HipWomen group to find a specialist to meet your needs? Best of Luck in getting some pain relief and finding a good surgeon. -Barb, R CDH Doctor Hi,I'm new to this group, just came over from labrilicious. I will be needing a THR as soon as possible. I am unable to sit or bend due to sudden changes after my recent arthroscopy..more to the story but that would take forever!Does anyone know of an orthopedist who does small incision replacements from the FRONT (can't remember what that's called)? I have an old slipped femoral epiphisis which makes me need a custom stem plus old osteotomy, so I need someone with lots of experience.I am in North Carolina but would travel for someone with this expertise.Please help!Allie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hi Allie I would agree with Barbra, go and see Dr Gross, he is an excellent surgeon and you may find that you will be a candidate for resurfacing, which would mean less bone loss for you and Dr Gross is onew of the best resurfacing (and THR) surgeons in US today.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hi Ruth I have a whole list of doctors that do resurfacing on my website - but remember that they all do THRs too. You can look the docs up by state. Also almost all the docs on this list have been used by resurfaced hippies. I won't put any unknown doctors on the list if someone hasn't had good outcomes with them. Here is the list: http://www.surfacehippy.info/listofdoctors.php Good Luck. You never know, you might also be a candadite for a hip resurfacing. That would conserve your femur bone for a future revision if you ever needed it.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Allie, I googled slipped femoral epiphisis last night, something new to me, not quite like dysplasia. You are very special, and I can see where you would want a doc with experience in treating your specific condition. Have you checked on HipUniverse? - http://www.hipuniverse.homestead.com/index.html There you will find a list of surgeons that do periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). It may not be a solution for you, but these guys are true hip specialists and may be able to help you. I think Millis in Boston and Trousdale at the Mayo Clinic will do a consult if you send x-rays. I may be worth calling their offices and see if they treat your condition or could point you to someone who would be better qualified. HipUniverse also has a message board. Best of luck to you. -Barb, R CDH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 You do know that Cytomel is a T3 med. only..right? Before I consulted Hertoghe, I had been on T4 meds only, T4 meds + Cytomel and Thyroral. As far as I know TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) only stimulates the thyroid to produce T4 to covert to T3 which makes the metabolism work..... After one has been dx-ed hypo you can't be treated by the TSH , you have to be treated by FT3. It's FT3 that if is high for a while can that can contribute to osteopenia and osteoporosis.. TSH doesn't tell anything especially if your body doesn't convert Ft4 to FT3 very well, like me... I take Armour Thyroid and Cytomel.. I don't know very much, but I am finding I have to do pay attention to what I feel like on what meds. at what dose because my doctor's nurse told me flat out they don't not dose by symptoms at ALL, just by test numbers.. So, It's like a war every time I go to the doc. If it doesn't get better within reason I will move on... Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with that, if you are taking a T3 medication, which will suppress the TSH. Otherwise TSH is still the most commonly used and accepted indicator worldwide. >...It's FT3 that if is high for a while can > that can contribute to osteopenia and osteoporosis.. That study we cited from last year showed that if TSH is at 0.1 or lower, regardless of how it gets there, you start to see the osteo changes and significant cardiac ones also.

Yes, I think that is what that paper concluded. I'm not sure I believe the conclusion of any one study, however. I'm sure there is more to it.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I am surprised to hear that Dr Hertoghe is to devote himself more to research, than hands on patient care. That is such a shame. But I guess selling books about theories will provide him with a good pension. Does he even know or care what his associates are actually doing, in his name? Thierry Hertoghe Enterprises sounds clinical, cold and business like doesn't it? Far removed from patient care. Where will he be drawing his research material from and how up to date will it be without practising much 'hands on' patient care? Val doctor For three years now, I have been the patient of Dr. Hertoghe, the doctor some patients seem to mistake for God. However, I have never been that impressed and that is why I need some advice from you. First of all, it would be correct that to say that I have OFFICIALLY been a patient of Dr. Hertoghe's since 2004. Although I have been to his office countless times since then, I have only met him on one occasion and only for about ten minutes. The first times, one of his associates (who is also on the Belgium's top doctor list) took care of me, took my full history and gave me a full physical exam. Then Hertoghe appeared for about ten minutes during my third visit. He examined me briefly while talking on his mobile phone to someone about a conference he was about to attend...! Then he scribbled down some notes and left his associate in charge of everything. That was in the summer of 2004, and since then I have not seen Hertoghe again. In november 2006, I received a letter from his office saying that he will no longer be seeing patients but instead will devote all his time and energy to research. Only if a patient requires " his specific expertise " will he be available for a consult. In all other cases, his patients will be treated by one of his associates at his clinic, now called " Thierry Hertoghe Enterprises " . There, he has not only associates but also a lot of secretaries and assistants running around. It's really an industry, and the days when he sat down with patients for hours to take their medical history (as described in his book " The hormone solution " which made me consult him in the first place) are long gone... Anyway, I have been on thyroid hormone replacement since early 2001 (was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease in late 2000), and I have had a really hard time finding the right dose and brand of medication. Before I consulted Hertoghe, I had been on T4 meds only, T4 meds + Cytomel and Thyroral. Most of my symptoms went away, regardless of the medication I was on, but I always seemed to be either slightly overdosed or slightly hypo. My hands and feet were either cold or moist. My heart beat was either too slow or too fast, etc. I was either hungry and putting on weight or finding it impossible to lose weight despite rigorous dieting and exercise. Hertoghe or rather his associate put me on Armour, first 90 mg a day and then 120 mg (telling me that I could raise it to 150 mg during the cold months). I was told that Armour was likely to be better absorbed by the body than synthetic hormones, and that its effects would be spread out more equally throughout the day. Not so. Armour made my hyper symptoms worse and also increased my appetite considerably; something I did not need given all the weight I put on while being hypo. So, a few months ago I decided to try out different approaches myself to determine what helped and what did not (after all, I am the only one who really knows how I feel). I have always thought that the ideal thing was to take one single tablet a day. However, I discovered that 150 mcg of Euthyrox (T4) a day was not enough while 175 mcg was a bit too much. So, I decided to take 150 mcg + 1/2 tablet of 25 mcg of day...and guess what? All my lingering symptoms cleared up within a few days. Suddenly, my hand and feet were neither cold nor moist. My appetite stabilized and, for the first time in years, I am able to lose weight. Hertoghe put me on his thyroid diet (no grains, no dairy products, no coffee or alcohol, a lot of meat, fish, fruit and vegetables) but it never helped me in any way. Since the beginning of January I have been following Weight Watchers' points program, and I have lost almost 16 pounds without any particular effort...although I now eat bread, pasta, potatoes and everything else I fancy. As long as I stick to the number of points allowed each day, I lose weight much more effortlessly than I did on Hertoghe's thyroid diet...without even needing extra T3! Hertoghe's associate also diagnosed me with adrenal fatigue and put me on Medrol, synthetic cortisone, although Hertoghe himself in his book says that he favors natural hydrocortisone. The associate told me that natural cortisone can cause weight gain, but exactly the same thing is said of synthethic hydrocortisone! Besides, he put me on testosterone and progesterone, two hormones that did not make me feel better in any way but insteaed caused fluid retention and swelling. Once I stopped taking them, I started losing weight. Sometimes I think that I must be crazy not to think that Hertoghe is the best doctor in the world, but the truth is that he has done nothing for me. He is very expensive (every visit to his office costs you about 195 USD), but I found his hormone protocol neither impressiv nor useful. I wonder if I am the only patient in the world to feel that way? Anyway, last week I told his associate that I really feel great on 162,5 mcg of Euthyrox and would like to stay on that dose. He then told me that my TSH level was too low (it was 0.3; ref 0.2-4.0), and he said that it should ideally be between 1.0-2.0 because that is considered the normal TSH level for people who don't have thyroid disease. When I told him that I feel so much worse as soon as my TSH is higher than 0.5, he simply answered that when you have a TSH as low as I do you significantly increase the risk for osteoporosis. But my TSH is still normal, although in the lower normal range...! One interesting thing is that my TSH and my fT4 were almost identical on 150 mcg AND 162,5 mcg: 0.4/0.3 and 1.22/1.29 respectively (ref 0.9-1.8). The big difference is my fT3; on 150 mcg of T4 it was 2.20 (ref 1,8-3,8) and when I increased the dose to 162,5 mcgs a day the fT3 went up to 3.32. To me, it is clear that my fT3 levels determine how I feel, not my fT4 levels or my TSH...! But Hertoghe's associate (supposedly a doc, too) claims that my TSH is the only thing that counts and that it " should " be between 1 and 2...! My antibodies have gone from 3900 when I was first diagnosed to 29 last month, so to me it is obvious that there is a connection between a low TSH and the level of antibodies. I also believe that is the reason I feel worse as soon as my TSH is higher than 0.5. But, according to the doctor, there is no such connection...! I refuse to decrease my daily dose of Euthyrox and start feeling miserable again when I am finally feeling fine and losing weight. I can't believe that a doctor working in Hertoghe's office and taking over his patients can actually care more about the TSH (deemed inaccurate by so many, doctors and patients alike) than about how the patient feels...! It would be interesting to know how you feel about this...there are so many of you who seem to have been through it all, so your comments and ideas would be most welcome!
