Howdy from Texas! I was implanted last July and second implant in

Feb this year. I was initially going to do the second one in July

while work was light and and kids gone to camp, but thought why not

earlier? It was easier second time around, I guess because I knew

what to expect and my brain was still " elastic " and could adjust to

the new sounds.

The deal clincher was when I took off my first implant and tried to

hear with just ONE hearing aid, I got little or no benefit. I

thought - I have nothing to lose! And I knew I had coverage for the

second implant, so away I went!

But I will tell you last summer, I thought I made a mistake first

week post activation - hated it. But I remembered the experience of

others shared here to stick with it and I did to much delight.

Best wishes, Neely, Dallas Texas

Thanks for the input. Interesting to see your comment that after

your first CI, you thought you had made a mistake. That was exactly

my same thoughts, and told my family of this, but after I had several

mappings, those thoughts disappeared.

Sorry, Betty, but when I got my CI in 2005 they didn't have rechargeables. I use

only disposables, and the XRay machine had no effect on them. Thus, I think the

same would hold true for rechargeables, but cannot speak from personal

experience.

Hi Anne,

Welcome to the list. You show several of the classic signs of

thyroid disease- the eyebrows as well as the overwhelming tiredness and

weight gain. Has any of you docs thought to do a TSH? This can be

inconclusive- it is perfectly possible to have thyroid disease and have a

'normal'TSH. I'm sure Dr. S will b able to help if you can get to see him.

The candida can also produce similar symptoms so you are right to be

concerned about that.

Subject: New to the group

Hello everyone

I've just joined and have been trawling through the files. I have a

very high score for the hypo checklist but also for the candida (had

several courses antibiotics for bladder tumour several years ago). I

have been on an anti-candida diet before and felt much better generally

but many of my symptoms didn't go - like the bi monthly fatigue,

hair/eyebrow loss.

My main 'disabling' symptom is fatigue in varying degrees. I struggle

every day, waking up fatigued and sometimes having to lay down again.

Often my breathing is affected and I get a 'shaky tiredness' which only

gets worse until I sleep, sometimes for hours. at it's worst I am

unable to wake up or move but can hear and recall conversations/TV progs

etc. When like this - even when I awake - my right eyelids droops, my

visions blurs/doubles and I cannot join in a conversation. If my

(right) eyebrow has regrown I lose it again when like this. When it's

really severe I can lose both eyebrows. My muscles go weak so that I am

unable to walk. I 'age' twenty years , until it passes and then I start

to look better. I have been like this for 26 years with no help at all.

I lost all my body hair way back then. I have no idea what I have been

tested for but am hoping to see Dr g. S. and have asked my neuro to

refer me.

MS was suspected but ruled out but apart from that I have not been told

anything - my treatment has been appalling really. I have lost feeling

in several places and having buring sensations, am gaining weight (up

to 14 stone now despite good 'ol slimming world) and have a low body

temp mornings and even lower in the afternoon when I crash. I will be

icy cold even in the hotest weather until around 5 - 7pm when all of a

sudden I'll warm up.

I have terrifying choking fits and so stiff in the mornings that I

sometimes cannot get up unaided.

I'm rather worried in case my neuro refuses to refer me and not sure

what other options I may have so any ideas would be welcome (the answers

maybe in the 'files' so I'll carry on reading - trouble is I forget so

much lol). I've lost all my adult life to this fatigue and am ready now

to do anything !

thanks for reading

Anne

I'm going down April 16th. Please post how your surgery and recovery

are going. I'm not telling my coworkers or family members (only my

it. For once I'm doing something just for me!

Are you using Celtic sea salt? For me, the detox symptoms went away

significantly when I increased to 50mg iodoral. I started out with 12.5 and

increased to 25. Most likely, you are experiencing bromide detox.

Here are a few links that might help:

http://www.breastcancerchoices.org/bromidedetoxsymptomsandstrategies.html

And for helping with detox:

Do a salt load http://www.breastcancerchoices.org/drshevin.html

Increase Vit C - 3,000 - 4,000 mgs / day

Increase Mg

Do liver friendly things like adding lemon to water or taking a

liver cleanser like Metagenics Ultra Clear Plus

Yes, I use Celtic Sea Salt. I have read about the bromide detox. What symptoms did you have? Do you really think this is a detox issue?

I had fatigue, intense headaches (I rarely have a headache) and a few other symptoms on the list. Yes, I am sure it was bromide detox issues. If they come back, I take a 2 day break from iodine to let it pass through my kidneys and then I'm fine.

you are undertreated on Armour and certainly need more iodine.

That is good to know. For some reason I thought if you took a break

during iodine use the bromide that was " stirred up " would settle so

to speak somewhere else. I read so many things and have such

horrible brain fog, I have difficulty remembering/recalling or

sometimes just making sense of things. Dr. Brownstein told my friend

Monday that it is okay to play around with iodine taking more or less

as it feels good, but I didn't now that stopping for a couple days

was okay. Had I know that I would have quit for a couple days last

week when it made me really sick. Thanks again,

I do it all the time when I need to. Today I woke up with a raging headache

which is my worst bromide symptom, so I didn't take any today.

How long have you been taking iodine? Do we eventually get all the

bromide out and not have detox symptoms again? Did your headache go

away quickly by skipping a dose?

HEY DENISE!

I HAVE HAD RSD NOW FOR 25 YEARS. YES....THE RSD CAUSES ME TO BE MUCH MORE

LIKELY TO HAVE INFECTIONS. I HAVE HAD SIMPLE CUTS TURN INTO MAJOR PROBLEMS.

I HAVE HAD CELLULITIS MANY TIMES ALSO....WHICH HAS TURNED INTO MRSA THREE

TIMES NOW.

IT IS MUCH MORE THAN FRUSTRATING. I HAVE FOUND THOUGH THAT THE MINUTE I GET

A CUT, SCRAPED OR BUMP, IF I TREAT IT WITH AN ANTI-BIOTIC OINTMENT, AND KEEP

IT COVERED AND CLEAN IT IS OKAY....AND IF NECESSARY, GO ON AN ANTI-BIOTIC

FOR THE CELLULITIS, IT DOESN'T STAY AS LONG...AND HEALS MUCH FASTER AND DOES

NOT RETURN.

I HOPE THAT THE STIM IS HELPING YOUR PAIN. I HAVE HAD MINE NOW FOR FOUR

YEARS...AND IT HASN'T DONE A DAMNED THING. I HAD ANOTHER ONE ABOUT 14 YEARS

AGO

FOR RSD AND IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM...IT LITERALLY WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

NIGHT AND DAY. I AWOKE IN THE RECOVERY ROOM AMAZED.....I WAS HOPING FOR THE

SAME TO HAPPEN THIS TIME..OH WELL......I WILL KEEP ON HOPING THAT ONE DAY

IT WILL HAPPEN>

IN THE PAST 25 YEARS, I HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT THRI ARE SOME REALLY WEIRD

THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO US WHEN WE HAVE RSD...SOME THAT JUST CANNOT BE

EXPLAINED.

I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD WEEK.

Hello,

Thank-You so much for sharing your story.I don't have a scs . I have talked

to a doctor about a trial.I have been dealing with infections inside,I was so

afraid to have this done.I am amazed at the number of people that this has help

with pain.Maybe It is worth a try. That is true, even a bug bite takes me weeks

to heal too. Thanks

[Guest guest]

I am feeling you denise...I am a slow healer also. You can take steps to prepare

your body ahead of time and continue them until you are healed. For example eat

as healthy as possible and get as healthy as you can, I know this part is hard

based on your pain. I ate lots of protein and made sure I was taking my

vitamins. My trial was a piece of cake...however my first stimulator had to be

removed because I didnt eat well before or after and I got an infection and

didnt have to ability to heal...so the infections kept returning and my incision

wouldnt close. They removed it because it was open, infected, and I was at risk

for the infection to reach my spine. So, I immediately got my act together so

when I healed I could start over as soon as possible. I found protein and lots

of it helped my body to have what it needed to heal. Also plenty of fluids and

as much nutrition you can manage to eat or drink. I ate protein bars and protein

shakes daily, usually I

had several protein bars in a day. I also ate smaller meals more often rather

than a couple of larger meals. I dont eat much to start with so I had to work

really hard to get enough nutrition into my body. Sometimes I would only eat a

bite or two of a bar at a time. I also found it very helpful to plan ahead with

bandages and antibiotic ointment as well as clean water for rinsing, gloves to

avoid spreading germs, and anything I could do to avoid getting another

infection. As far as exercise I am limited to stretching and walking and thats

not always easy either. I just did what I could when I could. Get lots of rest.

Have friends and/or family help with responsibilities and taking care of you.

Make meals ahead of time if you can. If you have kids...make sure the house is

stocked with food they can prepare for themselves. Also teach them how to do

things for themselves in advance that will help them and also help take up some

of your work...like folding

laundry or carrying the laundry basket for you. You cant imagine how much those

little things mean to your when you are trying to recover. Just some lengthy

suggestions.......
