Hi

[Guest guest]

I was scared of the liver biopsy. Personally I have experienced more discomfort

both during and prior the procedure from having a tooth pulled at the dentist.

getting ready to get a liver biopsy. I am very afraid of this, I hate

needles for one thing. This whole thing is beginning to creep me out,

I am afraid most of the time. I feel so alone. Thanks for reading.

>Hi Kel. Welcome to our group. It is important that you read Candida

Basics emailed to you when you join so you understand about candida and

how this diet plus supplements cures it. The reason this program works

so well is because it eliminates all foods that feed candida like brown

rice, as well as high good saturated fats, and moderate protein - there

is no other program like it!

==>You would have a very quick reaction to sugar since it feeds candida

which produces over 79 different kinds of toxins that are designed to

break down the body - most of which are alcohol, so sugars will make

you feel very bad all over, causing exhaustion, etc. It is very

important to build up your immune system with this program so it will

be able to " change " candida back into the friendly organism it is

supposed to in the body. Unfortunately there are no quick fixes. It

takes time and patience to heal the body naturally.

The best to you, Bee

Glad your back. So sorry to here how your stay was. When I was in

the ER they contemplated keeping me for observation. Not having

access to my prescribed meds scared me. My Wife said she would make

sure she sneak them in. I wasn't sure if they understood the level I

take, AS Prescribed, and why. 17 days must have been hell. I take

it there were complications or they didn't do it through the

laproscope. Both my Wife and daughter had it done through 3 little

incisions and were discharged same or next day. I pray you'll get

the rest you must need. Dave

Keep your pets if you possibly can. They are sometimes the only ones

who understand your pain. My daughter's dog stays with me the entire

time I am home. He " guards " my door when I go to bed too. He is just

a mutt, but a lover.

[Guest guest]

As an owner of two dogs, I can attest that they are really more than a

companion. They are members of the family. They are great stress

relievers. My dogs always give me a rousing greeting when I get home

from work.

They sense when you are hurting and provide you with TLC.

I'm so sorry to hear about what you are going through! Please get

yourself a lawyer asap!!!! There HAS to be one, ask around, open the

phone book and start interviewing them over the phone, you need a

lawyer to help you navigate!

I have been on SSDI for 10 yrs., and had a lawyer help me. You need

to save your home, and get medical care for yourself...a good lawyer

can help, but you will have to be persistant!

I have three dogs, and I wouldn't give them up for anything in the

world!

I have kept my home, my dogs, I have received assist. with

housekeeping, laundry, etc., and have good quality of life. It can be

done.

I wish you the best. E-mail me privately if you wish.

Hi Olivia,

How long have you had neck pain? Have you had any tests, like MRI's? Do

you have any nerve compression, symptoms in your arms and/or hands? My

neck MRI showed the following: DDD in all 7 discs, facet disease in 5

discs, 3 bulging discs, narrowing in 3 disc spaces, and spondylosis

(osteoarthritis). What exactly that all means, I'm not sure I do

know it has been quite painful but I don't have any nerve compression

symptoms (which is good!). I briefly did some PT and on Friday I will

be having facet joint injections to see if that's the major source of

pain. If that's the cae, then I will have a radio frequency procedure

done, that's where the nerve tips actually get burned off. I work with

a pain mgmt dr, do you have one? If not, I would highly suggest seeing

one. Take care,

Hi , I have 2 bulging discs(c5-6 and c6-7)...they are not

affecting my spinal cord..I do have some bone spurs and

other " arthritic changes " in my neck as well...they are concerned

because of my age(28) and also because of my age do not think surgery

is a good option right now...which in talking with other people I now

understand why...I've been dealing with this for over a year now...3

bad " episodes " with this one being the worst...they've gotten

progressively worse..I did see a neuro Dr.( not a surgeon) this past

Mon....he wants me to go back and do some phy. ther. this coming

week...he also gave me a script for a neck brace...which I'm having a

hard time getting used to(it might be helping though)and also gave me

some meds...he's " hoping " that with some therapy(traction mostly is

what he mentioned) and the rest in the brace I will improve...he did

mention some of the other treatments that you did...the tough thing for

me is I didn't have any real injury that brought this on...and it's

been bad lately...any info or suggestions would be greatly

appreciated...and I'll be happy to share my " experience " as

well...please keep in touch, best wishes, Olivia

[Guest guest]

Hi Olivia,

Yes you are too young for all this, I am too at 34. We just have to

keep a positive attitude that we'll be ok and the med treatments they

are working on now will help us in the future. I didn't have any

injuries with my back or neck either. I was getting off the floor whem

myback " popped " and stretching in bed when my neck " crunched " . I feel

like a walking time bomb! I think at our age the PT is important to

keep our bodies mobile, even if we don't get great pain relief from it.

I know I have days when I think I'll just try the surgery, how much

worse could surgery make this, but really we are way too young for

fusions. If anyone recommends a discetomy or laminectomy for you,

definetly have that done because that is 98% successfull. But a fusion

is a different story, although there are people that have good outcomes

there are many that don't and the hard part is having it done so young

is we'll be right back in the OR for an extension fusion within 5 years

because it casuses your other discs to wear out so much faster. That is

what I know about lumbar fusions, neck fusions might be different??

Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. I'll be hoping

PT helps you a lot and your pain improves. Take care,

[Guest guest]

Hi again , I had my first PT appt. yesterday...it went ok...they

are only doing traction, a TENS unit, and light massage on me for now

(Dr. orders)...they don't want me to move my neck for a while( you

probably read in another post they have me wearing a neck brace now)and

see if they can get the nerves to calm down and take some pressure off

the discs...I kinda think I'm feeling a little better...it was so bad

last week...having a tough time getting used to the brace...trying

though...LOL!!!...anything to get better at this point...have you had

any luck with certain treatments etc., please stay in touch as

well...are you scheduled to see a Dr. again soon?...I go back in Dec.,

hope you are feeling better, take care, Olivia

[Guest guest]

Tricia,

Unfortunately the blood work doesn't' always show it. Continue to

peruse, and don't let up. You have found a good resource to voice your

concerns. Your daughter is showing systemic symptoms and some people

that are on this board with those kids can tell you more. I wish you

luck and hope in your search for an answer.

and Allie (11 poly)

Hi Tricia,

I have a daughter with systemic jra, and she also started out with

fevers, rashes and painful joints. She was hospitalized for " fevers

of unknown origin " while they poked and prodded and ran any test

they could think of. It still took two months to get a diagnosis.

I am in PA, but not near CHOP. How lucky you are to be able to go

to CHOP! I heard Dr. Sherry speak, and he seems like a wonderful

doctor. Don't give up.

Hi,

My 10 year old son, Cade, started high fevers and rash back in January. He was

hospitalized twice before he was diagnosed with a " fever of unknown origin " . He

initially had an elevated WBC, CRP and an elevated sed rate. He was finally

diagnosed in March with systemic JRA. He has been taking prednisone,

methotrexate, tolmetin (anti-inflammatory) and folic acid.

He has been weaned off of the prednisone in October. He has not had any fever

or pain since the end of June (two months after starting the methotrexate).

Methotrexate was a miracle for him. He is in a medicated remission now. Hope

this helps.
