Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 Hi, Deb I am on Paxil, 40 mg at bedtime. I started out at 20 mg, and I had nausea for about 2 weeks before it finally subsided. My doctor told me that it wasn't unusual for that to happen. She called it a side effect versus an adverse reaction. Give it another week or so, and if it isn't any better, let your doctor know.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Rogene, although my feet and hands are never hot, when I wake up my feet (the top of them) are terribly stiff and swollen, while the bottom of my left foot is tingly. And my hands are as well very stiff and swollen in the am as well. I know that I have alot of arthrits like inflammation, and tested + for Ra, (Dr kolb tells me this will go away, and I think I remeber Patty saying hers got better?) but I can feel what all the girls say Your feet and hands are so important to daily tasks, and of couse just getting around. The stiffness has gotten somewhat better since my 5 month explant, but the tingly feeling in my feet has been pretty new since explant. Dr Kolb what is this? Sometimes, I get so scared it is the start of MS. Esp since having a bells palsy attack about 1 1/2 ago. (as facial paraylisis is sometimes a beginning symptom) I had some tests done then, and MS was ruled out (although I didnt have a MRI for brain lesions ) but it scares me sometimes! But then after being wake for about an hour, the tingliness goes way. HMMM Dr Kolb, does a viral infection, or candida cause these type of symptoms? I know I read once that candida overgrowth (which I def have) can mock MS like symptoms, and also mycoplama infections, which I have. But I still get worried sometimes. Anyway, boy I am reading this, and I am babbling! Its snowing here in Chicago, there's about 8 inches here so far, and its night time, and to look out the window and see the beauty of it all, takes your breath away! Wish you guys could see this.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Yes, 300 mg a day. I will make an appt for these b vitamin shots once a week for 6 weeks. Does this often stop these symptoms from progressing into something more? Thank you Dr Kolb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Patty thank you so much, esp about saying that alot of the tingling you had, started after explant, and went away as well. You hear so much about getting better after explant, and I worry so much about new symptoms occurring after explant. You know, I am also wondering if this has to do with me being on the antibiotics for mycoplasma for about 5 weeks, and I having a "Herxheimer" reaction due to the die off from the toxins of the infections...thats sopossed to be good news, the faster you have a reaction- I have read- the more likely you will go into remission. That the infection is actually getting targeted. There is so much to think about, and wondering which problem is causing what symptoms! I am also wondering if Armour thyroid is not for me. I want so desperatly to be on it, (have been for 6 months now 2.5 grains per dayand all my tests results are in the great regions) but I have read some people (small %)do not tolerate it we.., and am wondering if my brain fog and recent weight gain (5 pounds!!! And I am still working out everyday and eating very little carbs, all fruits, veggies, and only lean orgainc turkey, fich, chicken) And my body temp has been consistently below 97.8 all the time, even before ovulation. Sometimes as low as 96.7! I wonder of going on synthroid, or Levoxly with a good synthetic t3 will help me out. Do you know of the symptoms that natural is not tolerated? Is it hypo symptoms, like the body isnt using it? Arg!!!Anybody here have a problem with natural, and had to go back to Synthetic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I recently had arthoscpic surgery more for an exploratory surgery. My x-rays showed that everything looked fine. My MRI showed that some of the cartlidge was damaged. Once in my knee there was much more damage than anticipated. So i reccommend surgery if there is any doubt. I ended up having a lateral release because my knee cap was majorly out of place. Had lots of catlage removed and ended up having a large piece of bone missing under neath my knee cap. I may have to have a second sugery to replace that. But i was told that I was lucky to still be as active as i was before surgery becasue it was so bad...However, we would have never known if i would not have had surgery since the MRI or X-Ray didn't show anything. I am not 5 months post op and have began working out again...I still can not run or jump but I am able to be active and a majority of the pain is gone and the only pain i have left is from my bone...GOOD LUCK > > From: chondromalacia treatment > Date: 2006/01/29 Sun PM 02:57:21 EST > chondromalacia treatment > Subject: Digest Number 1174 > > There are 3 messages in this issue. > > Topics in this digest: > > 1.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Wow! that sounds serious! I'm sory to hear that. When you say that your knee cap was out of place, couldn't they have known this from just feeling around; or even just looking at your knee before surgery? Did they tell you how and why the bone was missing? and was this the main contributing factor ofor your CP?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Sorry to hear that you aren't as active as you would like, but being pain-free is work that trade off in my book any day. Take care of it and maybe it will keep being pain-free. Steve > > I recently had arthoscpic surgery more for an exploratory surgery. My x-rays showed that everything looked fine.
