Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Well, not knowing all the goings on and not having the medical education, it SOUNDS as though you COULD just fix the stenosis, as long as it's outside the fusion area. That's my guess. Lj From: beckybugkins <beckybugkins@...> Subject: Help! Scoliosis Treatment Date: Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 10:36 PM Here's my problem. I have had the fusion for Scoliosis. I now need a laminenctomy for spinal stenosis. I am scared and confused. One doctor said that I need a lot of things done with opening me up front and back and fusing the rest of my spine, trimming my rods and more. Another well respected Brain and Spine surgeon says that she can go in and just fix the stenosis without all of the trimming and fusing. I am wonder which one is correct. I am wondering if putting off the surgery will cause damage to my spine. The stenosis is severe. I am really scared. What would you do?

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hi Meredith, Your password expired on June 24th of last year. You can re-register at http://www.CureDrive.org I see what you mean. You are onto something there. You have to keep curing; that's the essence of healing and being a healer. You have slipped and allowed yourself to be compromised.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hey girl, I was nervous in the beginning too, but now I know that there was really no need to be. The needle is really thin and only 1/2 " long. My doctor told me to inject into the stomach fat, there are no blood vessels there so you barely feel it, really. The needle goes all the way in. After the first time it is no big deal. Be brave. You can do this and boy is it worth it. > > I'm waiting for my hcg to arrive, I'm starting to have second thoughts about this. How deep do you have to stick the needles? What does aspirate mean? What if I hit a vein? I know it's alot of questions but I'm not so sure I can do this.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 First, relax. Stressing releases cortisol, which causes fat storage. The calories on P3/P4 depend on your current weight. Go to one of the online calorie calculators and see what you should be eating. The most frequent mistake on P3 is to eat too few calories, too little food, which will bring about a gain. While eating no starch/sugar, you can eat more fat. P3 should be about adding good fats back in. Eat as many grams of fat as you do of protein, and half that much or less of carb grams.

OK, this is what's happened.I ended the 23 days last sunday and then did the 500 calories till the following wednesday. I then went on a boat trip to Arizona. 1) It's extremely hot down there, 2) I retain water easily when I go on vacation trips, 3) I never over ate while I was down there. But, I have gained back 4.6 pounds since wednesday. I know I was supposed to do a steak day immedialtely once I hit over two pounds but I was worried I'd pass out from being on a boat all day so I just took it easy and ate some eggs in the morning, chicken for lunch, and a small steak for dinner with fruit and vegetables throughout the day. I also ran 2 miles every night down there which I haven't done in a LONG time. But, getting on the scale scares me now. Have I completely ruined what I've been doing the last month? And how can I get it back down to my lowest point?One more question I've been wondering is when he says going back to eating normal after your 26 days, what does that REALLY mean? Like how many grams of fat should I be eating a day? I know there's no sugar or starch and that's fine. But calorie intake? I don't know if it's like 2000 calories a day, or like 1200 calories a day. Can someone help me clear this mess up? I'd appreciate it SO MUCH! I'm so worried I've ruined it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Dear Phoebe, Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this disease will teach you patience whether it's a lesson you want to learn or not. Steroids should give immediate relief but long-term use can have bad consequences and you need long-term help since it looks like you're not one of the few lucky ones where the disease goes away and stays away. Methotrexate and all the long-term treatments take awhile to kick in so that's why your rheumy isn't concerned about three weeks and no effect. Methotrexate didn't help me either but a biologic gave me my life back after many years of the pain you're experiencing. I was a single parent with two kids and a rotten boss at the time so I hid the pain as best I could and kept up the job. People at work thought I was short-tempered and asocial because I was in that relentless pain but refused to tell a soul. When the Enbrel kicked in my doc in a nice way and my boss in a mocking way both commented how I turned into Sunshine with a smile on my face for the whole human race.   Have patience. Hang in there. Someday, I hope soon, your doc will find the right med for you and you can get your life back and experience the joy of being pain-free. It is a joy only experienced after going through the hellacious pain we have. Take care, Janette in Indiana From: Phoebe <phoebe214@...> Subject: HELP! Date: Monday, August 8, 2011, 1:11 AM  I am newly re-diagnosed with Reactive Arthritis. I guess I've had it since adolescence but had been under the impression that it went away. I realize now that is a bunch of phooey and that indeed I have been suffering the symptoms all along only attributing them to other issues. Here is my problem. I am in horrible pain. My hips, and feet are currently effected. I'm on steriods, methotrexate, and folic acid. To no avail. It's not getting any better. I'm so frustrated. Can anyone give me any ideas. My rheumatologist is supposed to be one of the leading specialists of the field but it has been 3 weeks since I saw him without much improvement. In fact, It might be worse. This is interrupting my sleep. I've been prescribed every kind of pain killer and frankly- it doesn't work. I have been missing lots of work too. This is a problem for me, but I find myself absolutely exhausted by 3pm, and Thursday & Friday are nearly impossible for me to navigate. Can anyone help me figure out how to get to feeling better quickly? Thank you, -p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hi Phoebe, I have been suffering from ReA for 33 years [i am 56], I have tried every drug out there, until I started getting Remicade infusions a year now. It has worked great, I call it my Wonder Drug. It costs a lot my Rheumy gets mine free from the manufacturer. Hope this helps! Harv in MI HELP! I am newly re-diagnosed with Reactive Arthritis.
