Guest guest Posted September 1, 2001 Report Share Posted September 1, 2001 Hi , I was reading about your surgery. Hope it goes well. I was dx'd in Nov 99 with AIH and was put on heavy doses of Pred and Imuran. I'm now off the Pred, but still on the Imuran. Haven't had any relapses so far, thank the Lord. I'm in North Louisiana, where are you in Arkansas? I did have a biopsy, but not the kind you're talking about. Sounds different..... Anyone out there have any idea how I can lose the extra 30 lbs I put on while on the Pred???? Can't seem to lose it. I was posting on here all the time, but do not post as much now. I'm trying to get into it again, because the support found here cannot be compared to anywhere else. Thank you guys for being there. Take Care, in La AIH Nov 99' > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Pat Normal cervical spine X-ray series for traums consists of five films: an AP (looking from the front); a lateral (looking from the side); a left and right oblique(looking at the sides or areas where the nerve roots exit from a 45 degree angle between front and back); and an odontoid or open mouth (to look at the 1st ant 2nd cervical vertebraes. Assuming these are normal, the treatment for cervical sprains is generally ice for the first three days, 20 minutes every other hour. After the first three days, moist heat, for the same time frame, does wonders. Also NSAIDs if tolerated. If there is much spasm, an antispasmodic, such as valium, flexeril, robaxin work well. The ultimate treatment is usually physical therapy. Most people do quite well. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 asked: > Anyone on the Zone diet??? Any feedback? I tried Kenton's X-Factor Diet, which is similar (high protein low carb) but a lot healthier, I think, based on organic whole foods, and also bans caffeine and alcohol. Not a candidiasis diet but has a lot in common with one. It improved my general health and also my candida symptoms, I lost about 8 pounds in just over a month and was free from bloating and digestive problems for the first time in ages. The only problem I found with it was lack of fibre, I got very constipated and had to re-introduce some carbs to sort that out. Sadly when I started to re-introduce some of the prohibited foods the effect was quite drastic - I bloated up immediately and the vaginal thrush returned. So I think this is another diet for life. Can I ask if anyone has used caprylic acid supplements, and if so, did they work for you? Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Hello - I've visited the site a few times. Very excellent info/views you all are providing. I'm mom to (33mos) PDD with possible apraxia, although no diagnosis has been given for the latter. His Early Intervention therapist just mentioned apraxia after I pushed the issue. She says she thinks he has motor planning issues. OT eval that was done showed that he doens't need OT. The ST put in for the OT eval based on some things she was with from working with him 1hr/wk since Dec. We just went to another (2nd) pediatric neurologist - Dr. Aloisio. She said he'll need our school districts full day preschool disabled program. We're going to be going to the first of 3 evals (that we know of) next week. We really don't know what to expect. Any advice would be desperately appreciated!

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Leigh Thanks so much. I will try to eat some yogurt. I got so sick of it early on when we " had " to eat it that I don't eat it much anymore. I will try some today. Sandy also recommended the Cetaphil cleanser. I've been using that for years so I don't know what else I could be using to cause this. I don't wear much (if any) makeup very often. Who knows ? i have an appointment tomorrow with a 3rd dermatologists. Can't blame a girl for trying. I'm thinking Iook pretty good with the weight loss, but I know that people are looking at my lovely skin. Always something. Thanks again to everyone for responding. I really appreciate the feedback.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I sent off an email to the doctor running the study to ask for details. Have not heard back from him. Zoe, why don't you post a link to your website for us here. It is very helpful. mjh In a message dated 2/12/2005 5:24:12 AM Eastern Standard Time, writes: From: " zoe88025 " <Zll51@...> Subject: Re: Digest Number 1755-MJH Pissing prissies I'd say at times!!! z > Hiya Zoe and all > > ANother, less contentious list, (Biofeedback can get like a pissing match) > is autism-nf and add_adhd at groups.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Hello, I have been on 1.5 mg LDN for a week ,and now 3 days on 3mg LDN. Not any symptom relief yet. When could I expect to see some syptom relief, if at all. My normal synptoms are weak, wobbly legs and restless leg syndrome at night and right leg spasms. I already take clonepin and neurontin for the leg spasms at night. Any good thoughts, please let me know. Thanks. --- low dose naltrexone wrote: > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 When will LDN help symptoms? Each person is different. Some people, approx. 2/3 will get symptom improvement and maybe only a few symptoms will improve. In some symptom improvement was immediate and others it took up to 6 to 9 months before their symptoms improved. Many of my symptoms improved on the first dose overnight but I started LDN with the bang of 4.5mg and a top notch compounding pharmacy of Cantrell Drug Co. in Little Rock, Arkansas...they use pure naltrexone powder, not crushed naltrexone tablets.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hi , Did I send you the " welcome packet " ? I would suggest looking through the list of supplements, and possibly taking DLP after a while of being on LDN. Sometimes the DLP and really help make a difference for those with MS and some symptom relief. It is recommended by Dr. Bihari in many situations. If you have not received the welcome packet please let me know. Aletha Re: [low dose naltrexone] Digest Number 1756 > Hello, I have been on 1.5 mg LDN for a week ,and now 3 > days on 3mg LDN.
