Questions

[Guest guest]

Hi May,

If your magnet doesn't fall off, it's not necessary to shave the spot where the

magnet goes. If you have a problem keeping the magnet or you have had a problem

with swelling at the magnet site, a low strenth magnet might require a tiny area

to be shaved. I heard this several years ago but I don't think it's a common

practice anymore but a good attachment is helpful in making the sound better.

Since your surgery was in July, you may still be feeling the effects of it on

your ear lobe. Sometimes it takes 6 months for all the strange feelings to

disappear but this would be a good question for you to ask the surgeon so that

it can be checked out properly.

abdomen where? his actual stomach? lining of the stomach? i don't

understand. can you find out more specific information? you mentioned a

swollen

area..was it a cyst? etc. where the extraction fluid came from is important to

know. something doesn't seem to be connecting here.

shelley

the fluid was extracted from his abdomen - he was very tired and weak, but

in the past few days has felt stronger......his family is at a loss - they

don't know what to do, and let's face it, if you don't go looking for ways

to help yourself, no doctor is going to suggest it - they have stripped him

of hope and determination, yet they can't tell him where the primary site is

and everything is inconclusive....

thanks

Has anyone asked that doctor what he is basing his appraisal of the situation

on?

Since the introduction of the first quinolone, Nalidixic Acid,

the FDA has allowed the manufacturers of the class of

chemotherapeutic agents, commonly referred to as fluoroquinolones

to be aggressively marketed as a " " safe and effective antibiotic

with an excellent safety profiles… and to be remarkably free of

clinically significant adverse effects.†This has been done in

spite of compelling evidence to the contrary. Evidence that the

FDA has ignored since 1962.

For almost forty years the FDA has

turned a blind eye to the severe, crippling and at times fatal

adverse drug reactions associated with this chemotherapeutic

agent. Even going so far as to allow these drugs to be marketed

to physicians as a safe antibiotic with minimum side effects.

First and foremost one must understand that fluoroquinolones are

NOT an antibiotic but a man made chemotherapeutic agent,

concocted in a laboratory, genetically engineered to destroy the

DNA of the bacterial agent. They are not and cannot be put in

the same class as antibiotics, which are substances produced as

metabolic products of one microorganism, which inhibit or kill

other microorganisms.

Antibiotics may exhibit adverse drug reactions but such reactions resolve

upon cessation of therapy or modification of the therapeutic dose. The toxic

adverse drug

reactions associated with fluoroquinolones do not appear to be

not dose dependant and do NOT resolve upon cessation of therapy

in some cases. In most cases such adverse drug reactions do not

even manifest until weeks, months and even years after such

therapy has been terminated. These latent reactions also do NOT

appear to resolve and become chronic conditions to which there is

no known treatment protocol.

Tens of thousands (literally) of

patients may have died as a result of such therapy and hundreds

of thousands more have had their lives destroyed by these drugs.

Yet the FDA does nothing to prevent this ongoing carnage and

continues to approve additional agents within this class without

a moment’s hesitation. In fact, Nalidixic Acid (the “father: of

fluoroquinolones), was added to the OEHHA Prop 65 list as a

carcinogen May 15, 1998. [Nalidixic Acid, case number 389-08-02,

I spoke to his wife today, there were three seperate pockets of acites in

the areas of the lungs and abdomen, I would have to clarify what you have

asked.

I saw his pathology report today at work (I work at the hospital) and it

said 'yellowish fluid, blah, blah, suspicious of malignant cells', however ,

with this and no primary, they are still telling him he is terminal - they

have yet to book an mri and nothing has come forth to send him to another

oncologist.....they are now trying another Dr. to see if they can get the

'wheels' moving.....

I will see if I can get in touch with his wife to find out.

thanks

the family as you can imagine is shell shocked - the Dr. was so french, they

could not understand much of what he was saying - he wanted to have a port a

cath inserted to start chemo - the wife questioned....chemo??? you can't

even tell us what type of cancer you are dealing with - his reply - I will

when the time comes.....

so vague

so uninterested....they feel helpless - they need that MRI so they can have

a starting point and they are going to go to a private clinic for that.

I will try to learn more and find out where exactly that fluid came from....

Hi,

My husband has kidney cancer and he receives a treatment with interferon

injections and fruororacine. Do you have anything to tell me about the last

one?

I would appreciate your opinion because I can see how he gets out after each

I would like to ask somethings about THJR as i am 5weeks into this.Ask away, Darryl. If one of us does not have an answer, another one will!

Marge

[Guest guest]

To the pepole that have had total hip joint replacements. Is there a difference in the lenght of the two legs?Some have talked about that happening. It is most definitely a thing you would wish to discuss with the surgeon.

Marge

He lives!

[Guest guest]

Yes there can be a difference. With my first hip I felt I was a

little long. For the first year I kept thinking it was long. In

actual fact it wasn't, it was just the way it felt to me.

This hip I am not sure what the situation is, because the socket had

moved and the doctor said it was out of position by 2 " . So I am

having to stretch the muscles back.

At least with this hip I know to wait and see.

Good luck with it

[Guest guest]

Hi,

When I first stood up I felt there was a difference, but after two days walking with crutches, I'm pretty sure both legs are the same length. However, I did have a custom-made joint.

Hi there

I am the opposite to most people on this site. My

right leg is my operated one and was originally 2cm

longer than the left. This was fixed in surgery and

now I have legs that are the same length and I tell

you that also takes a lot of getting used to!

Good luck

Hello

I think you should see a doctor asap. Your family doctor can give you an antibiotic, maybe that will clear the infection, but you really should see an otologist. If it is a recurring cholesteatoma, an antibiotic probably wont help much. What you describe sounds like it could be c-toma. I am not sure about actually removing a c-toma during an office visit, but your ear certainly can be cleaned there if you've previously had a canal wall down mastoidectomy. C-toma tend to attach themselves to the structures in the ear such as the ossicles and the semicircular canals, making "office" removal unlikely. I would think it would be pretty painful to attempt to remove it in that kind of setting.

Lynn

-- Questions

Hello, I have been in this group for a while but have never really posted. I am wondering if anyone has had cholesteatoma without hearing loss. I have had it twice in both ears but to the best of my memory, I always had somehearing loss. Also, my ears are now "open-cavity," I am wondering how the cholesteatoma is removed in an office visit. I am not sure if it has reoccured,I am usually good at knowing when it has. I have green drainage with a HORRIBLE odor,there is some bleeding,and chunks of what looks like skin comes out. You guys tell me what you think if you don't care. Thanks,

[Guest guest]

Sounds like you better make a trip to the specialist

who is used to seeing inner ear infections and

diseases on a regular basis.

Hi ,

The first few months with your implant is all about getting used to how

noisy the world is! But it should not overtax you. If you feel the need to

turn things down then by all means do that. On the other hand, if you are not

in

pain then the more you try to tolerate, the wider your Ts and Cs will get

more quickly!

It takes a long time to get used to using all the dials with ease so

don't worry about that. Give yourself plenty of time for everything.

Hi ,

It sounds to me like you're doing just fine! <smile> I know it probably

seems as though you're not making any progress, but given the fact that you

haven't worn your CI for a week, this is most likely the reason you haven't

noticed any changes. I would give it another few days and make a note of any

changes in sounds/voices that you notice. I created a written day-to-day

journal outlining my CI experiences (yes, even if I had to note " no change "

for 3 consecutive days) and it really helped me see the progress I was

making.

You *are* making progress, ! Your sister commenting on how much easier

you were communicating is proof of that. You're doing great! Hang in there

and like I said, try to make a note of *any* sound changes you experience.

When you look back at them, you will realize how much progress you are

really making.

Hi Ann no we don't have such a list but thats a good idea. Trouble

is we all use different abbrev for things. But just feel free to ask

if you don't understand anything. We've all had to look stuff up to

find answers. Another thing you can do is go to Spine Universe you

can find it in the links section. But always feel free to ask anyone

something you don't understand. Maybe I can find someone to donate

some time to work on a list, any takers ???? Sharon Group Owner-

p.s as for chat time we need to find a good time to do it so I'll

post another poll and hopefully that will help us find a good one.

[Guest guest]

on the poll for the chat times... what about time zones. may want to figure out

what time zones people are in cos " lunch " can mean at least 20 different times

if not more.

Re: Questions

Hi Ann no we don't have such a list but thats a good idea. Trouble

is we all use different abbrev for things. But just feel free to ask

if you don't understand anything. We've all had to look stuff up to

find answers. Another thing you can do is go to Spine Universe you

can find it in the links section. But always feel free to ask anyone

something you don't understand. Maybe I can find someone to donate

some time to work on a list, any takers ???? Sharon Group Owner-

p.s as for chat time we need to find a good time to do it so I'll

post another poll and hopefully that will help us find a good one.
