Guest guest Posted December 5, 2000 Report Share Posted December 5, 2000 Welcome Janelle, Borax as an emulisfier....it mixes the oil and water. Just a pinch, right? Baby oil, that's just mineral oil, I think. I've used apricot kernal oil. I, did, however, try a Honey f/o...it ends up smelling like baby powder. Powdered sugar...dunno. Have fun.

I hope that you learn a lot from all the postings. When I first received my ICD I felt I was alone in the world. I didn't know anyone else who had one. After joining this group I learned very quickly that almost all of the others experience many emotional ups and downs. In this group, you will find great comfort and encouragement.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Bridget, welcome to the group. We're glad you found us too. Normal? I am not sure what they meant by normal, but there is no cure for achalasia. You will never be as you were prior to having achalasia. You will likely always have to drink liquids to get your food down, but you should be a lot better than you were before surgery. Is it just alcohol that you can't drink or, are you having problems with other foods or drinks. I have not had the surgery, but I have had dilatations and even though they helped a lot, there are still some things that I can't eat. Some things that simply will not stay down. I have heard many in this group who have had surgery say the same thing. We are all the same, yet have many differences. Some can drink soda, some can't. Some can eat ice cream, some can't. We have not found what makes this difference. Don't hesitate to ask questions and be as specify as you can. We are family here.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 On 7/5/2005 at 9:09:15 A.M. Central Standard Time you wrote: I had botox done but that worked all of 10 days. I had two Botox and they didn't work at all on me. The surgery was done by one of the greats but I still have a lot of problems. If you are able to eat and drink anything except alcohol, what other problems are you having. Do you have spasms, white foam or what specifically do you have problems with? There may be others here who are having the same problems/ How often do you have to get your dilations done? I have only had two. 1 lasted 3 1/2 years. I just had the last one in February. Do you spend alot of time in the hospital? No, I did develop aspiration pneumonia a few years ago and spent 4 days in hospital for that. Otherwise no hospital stays caused by achalasia. I do I have a nice little vacation at University of Penn about every 4 months for about 3 to 4 days. Were these hospital stays for the same thing or different symptoms. Again, there may be others here who can give you some help if they know what this was for. Maggie Alabama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Maggie, Thank you for being so welcoming. By normal I meant be able to eat or drink whatever I want like I was able to do before I developed this wonderful disease. It's just alcohol that I can't handle everything else is ok. I had no choice in the surgery, I had botox done but that worked all of 10 days. The surgery was done by one of the greats but I still have alot of problems.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Yes. Arthritis is any one of over 100 types of inflammatory joint conditions. Mike MT new comer Nov 3rd. 2006. Hi, is Chondromalaica athritis ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Yes and no! To the extent that arthritis is a general term which includes those conditions resulting from trauma or degeneration of a joint yes. Chondromalacia is a much more specific term though, relating to the patella (knee cap) and in particular referring to the loss or degeneration of cartilage under the patella. Here is an accurate if incomplete description http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondromalacia Hey, we the knowledgeable and interested should take it upon ourselves to make the wikipedia entry as complete as possible, what do you all think?

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 As you know, I disagree that chondromalacia is arthritis. Doctor's offices have recently been sent a wonderful model of arthritis in a right knee. You should all make an appt with your OS just to see it. It shows a knee in 4 stages: no problems, a little chondromalacia, a lot of deterioration, and enough deterioration that you'd probably want a TKR. So I can see why some docs think chondromalacia is arthritis, or the beginnings of it, because of the spotty nature of the deterioration. However, I still maintain that the kind of chondromalacia most of us have is sports injury. It may progress to arthritis, in terms of wear, over a long time, but it's not an inflammatory process by itself, which arthritis is. A very interesting thing in these models is what happens to the bone, esp. the femur. It appears to become pitted, but when I asked the P.A. who was there, he said it's not pits, it's bone spurs. And, he said, for some reason if they debride bone spurs, they just come back. Newcomer, sorry to confuse you. Chondromalacia is or is not arthritis, depending on who you ask. Ann Re: new comer Yes. Arthritis is any one of over 100 types of inflammatory joint conditions.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 yes, that wiki entry could be alot more detailed and instructive, considering that cp is one of the most common of all knee disorders new comer Nov 3rd. 2006.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I am new to this but I have questions. I have severe panic disorder. Have been on many anti depressants and nothing is working. I went to an accupunturest and she told me that I have a lot of yeast. My tongue is covered in a white film. I started to cut out all sugar and carbs from my diet and I am on week 3. I take acidolpholus and candex but its still there. My tongue now looks like a yellow color rather than white but its cleared a little. How long does this take to go away? Also the first two weeks of doing this diet I was a mess. I was crying all the time, my panic attacks were crazy insane and I had muscle aches. What can I do . Is there anything I can do. Is this normal. Please I need help.

Please ensure you read " Curing Candida, How to Get Started " since if you change over to this diet too quickly it may cause constipation and more severe die-off symptoms: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro1.php +++Natural healing takes 1 month for every year you've been unhealthy, which for most people nowadays is since they were conceived in the womb. +++Also see Anxiety & Depression, Help For: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/treat6.php +++Also see these direct treatments for your tongue/mouth thrush: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/treat18.php > Also the first two weeks of doing this diet I was a mess. I was crying all the time, my panic attacks were crazy insane and I had muscle aches. What can I do . Is there anything I can do. Is this normal. Please I need help. +++Sorry you are having such a rough time. If you try to change over to this program too fast it will create more die-off symptoms, including emotional reactions. Any symptoms you had previously will also intensify at first, so they are to be expected - see this article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal2.php So hang in there, and just " know " that following Nature's Laws on health are the only way you are going to get healthy.
