Guest guest Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 It could be or it could not be....It could be the weather making you crabby? See so we need the sun. Ok I"m gone since I really can't handle this. I know hubby is cranky lately as well I just tell him where to shove his crankiness. But I won't be telling you that. But hubby sometimes takes all his stuff and sometimes don't he's not fully on it all the time and I'm sure his body hates that. The only thing I can think of is detoxing may help?

Twice in two days I've had a major crab attack where I responded totally inappropriately to something at work. Seriously, I'm pretty level most of the time. It takes a lot to get to me so this is totally out of character. My question is this, could this be related to the iodoral? I've been taking 37.5 mg in the morning and following with salt and water. The past three days, I've also taken 12.5 mg in the afternoon (around lunch), again with salt and water following. I am taking vitamin C and if I don't take the salt water, I do get a headache though it is mild compared to a couple weeks ago. I'm wondering if there is a connection to my flipping out and the iodoral. I don't like that reactivity at all!!! Am I just grouchy or am I grouchy for a reason?

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Thanks Steph. It's nice to know that info and to know what to do about it. Reacting that way was pretty scary for me....totally not how I usually react to things. I'll get going on increasing my supplements and hope that helps. I seem to have leveled out at 50 for the moment. I'll not increase except on weekends from now on so as to avoid those little wig outs.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I am not surprised. In fact, if the legislature (actually the House) does not agree to pass an income tax increase of probably at least 4-5% many of the individuals currently being supported will either lose services completely or will have reduced services...those not currently being served will be waiting even longer. I hate to say it, but this is crunch time folks...you had better be calling your State Representatives and literally BEGGING them to vote for an income tax increase. Ellen Ellen Garber Bronfeld egskb@... Question I am wondering if anyone else is hearing the same from their agencies. please read the letter my sib friend wrote me this morning below. Tara Kosieniak Hi Tara, Have any of the agencies you’ve worked with (or the other sibs) heard that the State of Illinois might not pay their back balances to providers (the money IL owes them to date)? St. Coletta of WI/IL, reports being owed nearly $700,000 for services provided March-May. If IL doesn’t pay back balances, when the 2010 budget goes into effect, St. Coletta will be owed nearly $1 million. Obviously devastating stuff. I imagine if other agencies are experiencing the same, providers will be dropping like flies. Please let me know what you and the other sibs are hearing on this front.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I would say in both of your cases a good dose would be 50 mgs. Cancer patients seem to do well on that dose but may have toxicity issues as well so making sure the supporting nutrients are taken is important. You can read about it on my website at www.naturalthyroidchoices.com I am not familiar with Lyme disease and iodine. I would say try it and see how it goes. Steph question ,What would be the optimal dose? I hear both 50 and 100mg.I am Thyroidless so want to start. I will try to get an Iodine Loading test after my doc appt. I have to get my Iodoral from the breast cancer website.Also, My mom has Lyme Disease as well as has history of Thyroid and Breast cancers. What would you recommend her dose to be? I will also request a test for her. Not sure I can get one. I looked on the breastcancer.org website and the Iodine website but could not find the appropriate dose for Lyme Disease - although it does state it should be used for Lyme Dx.Thank you so much!De Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I also suffer from DDD (along with many other spinal problems) and had tkr 3 weeks ago. It's just as likely your knee/hip pain is making your back worse than the other way around. FWIW I have had no back pain at all since my tkr. Of course every body is different.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 It is often quite difficult to diagnose exactly what is causing pain since pain can be referred and/or pain can be caused by misuse of the body from pain in another part of the body -- i.e. all the pain caused by a bad hip. You would need to seek medical help to diagnose the source of your pain. I consider myself lucky that my pain was easily diagnosed as it was caused by my hip even though it created pain down to my foot as well as in my back. Depending on what an examination shows, there are tests that can be done to try to locate the source of pain -- nerve blocks can be given to see if pain comes from that source for example. MRI's can sometimes indicate damage. However, diagnosis is tricky since an MRI of a person WITHOUT pain can also show " issues " . Have you seen a doctor for your pain? I would think that would be your next appropriate step. As the responses have indicated, bad hips and knees can produce a variety of symptoms and only a skilled diagnostician who is examining you in person and ordering appropriate tests can even attempt to figure out the source of pain. For most it's a process of eliminating the most obvious. Generally people with a bad knee KNOW they have a bad knee because that knee hurts badly. Hip issues can be more subtle since the pain actually presents for most people in the groin -- as well as all over the leg and lower back.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Thanks jujulabee! With all the input from everyone, and mostly from the level of pain, I am 'very' motivated to find a good OS in my area. Since I am close to UCSF Med Center I think I'll find a good one there. Holly talks about Dr. Coon who is about two hours away from me, so maybe I can see him. I'll check. It is time for me to get serious and find out what is going on. That's for certain. I'm tough, but I'm not this tough to endure this level of pain much longer let alone the detraction from any kind of semblance of a decent life. Thank you all so very much. What a group!

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Dr. Coon is certainly an option if one has been diagnosed as needing a knee replacement. However, if you are located in San Francisco, I would seek medical expertise in your area to diagnose and then use Dr. Coon for a surgical consult or as a surgeon if you need a knee replacement. However, at least in my experience, knee issues are pretty obvious -- people have pain in their knees and it's clear that the pain is coming from the knees.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 From what you are describing it sounds to me that you should find a good acupuncturist and not only get acupuncture, but go on an anti-inflammatory diet. I did both and they really helped. In addition, a goo pt helps too. Question I recently joined the group interested to learn what to do and maybe to find out whether I might need hip and knee replacements or spine surgery. I have not seen any posts regarding this. Here's my problem. I continue to wonder whether my hip and knee symptoms are stemming from DDD (disintegrative disc disease).

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 S, have you had any XRays to check on the status of your hips, back or knees? Since everything is connected, back, hip, knee....finding the most severe culprit should be done with XRays first. Also, have you seen a rheumatologist? Do you know that you have DDD or could it be an inflamatory arthritis? I had my hip cartilage go bad in 2006, had both resurfed, then my knees went bad about 6 months later. I don't know how you do it, feeling all are gone bad at the same time! My rheumatologist is always getting biopsies at my surgeries to see if I have inflammatory arthritis, so far not. I am hypermobile and that can cause joints to disintegrate or dislocate easily. Are you hypermobile? If you do end up needing a knee replacement, Dr. Coon is in St. Helena often now, he only does knees. It is very nice to have a quick recovery and comforting to know he has done so many, you're in good hands. He doesn't accept outside XRays though, he will look at them but always takes his own just before your consultation. Good luck tracking your problem down. Hollie > Thanks jujulabee!

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 MS has been tied to very low Vit D levels. Have you checked them? Also - this seems obvious to me but I am assuming you do not consume artificial sweeteners. Dr. Hal Huggins was dx'd with MS and he determined that it was tied to the mercury poisoning he had from amalgam fillings. He improved by removing them safely and chelating. Someone posted a link to a woman who healed herself of MS. I wanted to say it was a Dr. but I can't find the link. Maybe someone has it.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 How much are you taking a day? Too much if you are not used to it will cause your problems. Start out with 1 tbs in the morning and slowly go up from there with a small serving throughout the day, and none 3-4 hours before bedtime. ________________________________ From: Irene <meandmy2cats@...> Coconut Oil Sent: Friday, July 31, 2009 11:11:23 PM Subject: Question Has anyone found that coconut oil has caused any problems with loose stools?.
