Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Hi Gail, I will talk to them about it next month when I have an appoint. Yesterday and especially last night were real bad alot of nausea and a fever that did go away after awhile. Got up this AM and the left side of my back feels like it was punched Lol. Starting to notice after shot night I feel ok next day it seems to be late into 2nd and 3rd day I get nailed so I am assuming it is the shot. Whole lower part of back now hurts but not painful. 3 shots a week oh no thank you, must have been terrible. I do know they told me to call if severe back or stomach pain but this isn't severe so thinking I don't need to call. patgail <gaila@...> wrote: The caugh will probably get worse during treatment but the doctor will be able to help you with that.Mine was the old treatment of interferon 3shots a wk and riboveron 5a day.I had about every side possible.The newer treatments don't seem to be as sever.I had my caugh until about 6 months after treatment.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Pat, Some days my back and some days my whole body gets to aching. I have a chair liner that has points of vibration on it and I liwn on the couch and turn it on. Then place a hot pad beneath my lower back, after I take a couple of ibuprofen. If I lie quietly for about 20 minutes, usually, the ache gets better, most of the time. I also do lots of stretching exercises every day and have started adding a 2 lb dumbbell to the arm and upper torso stretching. It's amazing how much this eases the ache. I'm 64 and just cannot be so inactive, I guess. I feel sooo much better if I exercise a little bit at least. Of course, having said that, who the h---- feels like exercising when the interferon hits the system? lol I'm getting over the bronchitis, but now have a crop of cold sores in my nose and mouth. I hope this is not indictitive of the whole 11 months. I'm not suffering overmuch with the treatment, but the random viruses and germs coming through have me worn plumb out!! Sharon Hi Gail, I will talk to them about it next month when I have an appoint. Yesterday and especially last night were real bad alot of nausea and a fever that did go away after awhile.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hi Tim, My first G I didn't see any need for me to get the Hep Vaccinations - I test positive for A and C & wasn't in any high risk group for Hep B. My second doc ( I call him Dr Idiot, an infectious diseases specialist - he makes me nuts) made sure I got them. Strangely enough the 1st G I had me tested for H I V - the second didn't & he treats most of the H I V /AIDS patients in town. I tested clear on that one, I think it had something to do with getting the meds through the gov't. I get my flu shot every year & the pneumonia shot whenever my doctors say to. Hugs, SuZie & Sir SpYke the Happy - outside lying on a pile of leaves in the sun & I'm going to have to spend an hour brushing the leaves out of his fur.Hillbilly Tim <knoxweb1@...> wrote: yep did them just the A vac's is not in my systempatricia <pandas2sbcglobal (DOT) net> wrote: Did you get the series?

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hi Donna, Mike is recovering slowly. He is now in therapy and walking with a stiff ankle, but walking. His face is almost back to normal. There's just a knot above the eye that seems to be taking it's time healing. Through it all Mike has been extremely patient. Never complained about the pain, or the therapy, or anything really. Not even once; not even when it first happened and the pain was at it's worse. Pretty amazing to observe. I asked him how he could be so patient through it all when all our married life he was one of the most impatient people I ever knew. He simply chuckled and said he was a child then, now he's a man. I busted out laughing and said, " Well, at least the accident didn't do anything to your ego! " lol " My two nephews " ? A slip of the tongue perhaps? I asked prayer for my grandsons. They are 's boys. You met my daughter, when you lived up here. Anyway, they are her children. Keelan (the oldest, 10 yrs. old) passed the treadmill test, and although he still has the WPW, they gave them the option of doing the surgery now or just monitoring him because he will develope more during puberty and will require more surgery then. They decided rather than putting him through more and more surgery, they would keep a close eye on him untill he simply couldn't go without it. That's about how it went with his brother, Donny, too. Donny's case is different in the fact that he will have to have a valve replacement. I hadn't realized it, but some of the valves will only last 10 years, so they will often have to have more than one replacement. His is a defective valve and as he grows the valve hardens causing the heart to become enlarged. They've uped his medicine for the enlarged heart, and so far so good. He, too, passed his treadmill test so they are also delaying the surgery until further notice. Ofcourse, they will be monitoring both boys very closely. Sometimes when I think of the seriousness of their situation, it feels like the breath is knocked out of me. They are very dear to us, and we all truly appreciate of all the prayers that people (often total strangers) have sent up on their behalf. Thank you, thank you all. Please keep praying. Shortly after Mike had the car accident, my monitor went out on my computer. My computer is old and pretty crapy, and as I had my hands full with helping Mike, it simply wasn't a priority to get it replaced. I finally picked up one that's about as crapy as my computer. lol I have to say, tho, that after being off line for close to two months, the lists seemed to be pretty slow. Not much activity on the ones I'm on. Gail -- In oxyplus , Country Girl <ruthful@...> wrote: > > Hey Gail, > > I don't know if you are reading the group these days.

You know Dr. Schulze had an incurable heart valve problem as a teen and cured it with hawthorne. Hawthorn is shown to restore heart tissue and repair valves. Something to consider. Google hawthorne syrup for the best I know of. Also excellent for heart strength is Taurine. So how are you holding up in all this. A break from the computer sounds kinda nice to me, right now. A two month break actually sounds kind of heavenly. Smile. I'm a little envious. I'm glad that the boys are doing well under the circumstances and glad that Mike is mending, and hopeful that you are doing okay. I know that summer can be a busy time at your house. Hopefully this year won't be too crazy for you. Warmly Donna wanda85929 wrote: > > Hi Donna, > > Mike is recovering slowly. He is now in therapy and walking with a > stiff ankle, but walking.

I'm a little > envious. -------------------- Well, perhaps sometime in the future, if you get freed up from homebound obligations, you might want to consider pursuing some kind of work that is not computer based. Then you could have a 'touch of heaven' right here on the earth. Something to think about anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Yes, I am at heather@.... Gail, I never recieved an e-mail from you...(?) Can you please resend? Olivia is so excited to have her cousins here for the summer! I have them all signed up for Pottery & Ceramics, rafting, and swim lessons. I am also in the process of setting up our big pool, again. Ugh! I spent all day trying to level a 20 ft circle in my new backyard, yesterday. I am so sore. I must be getting old, because it didnt seem this difficult, last year. Please take a look at the VEPTR Parent Handbook, and let Shellie or I know what you think about it. Have we forgotten anything? Thanks Gail! Hugs for !! HRH Re: website updates What great news on all fronts! Sounds like Liv is going to enjoy her summer, and sounds like you are going to be extremely busy, as usual! I tried to email you earlier in the week, and it bounced back to me - you are still at the same email addy, right? Give Miss Liv a hug from and I. heather hyatt wrote: Dear Friends, I hope you are all doing well, and enjoying your summer. Olivia and I are looking forward to this summer and spending time with family and friends. Olivia is doing well, and went swimming for the 1st time this season with her Grandma Kris, and cousins D'Angelo & Sarynah, yesterday. She is loving life without her casts and braces, and is already developing a little tan on her back! Which hadnt seen the light of day, for years. The reason for this e-mail is to let you know that ISOP's website has just been updated, and I wanted you all to take a look. We have added a VEPTR Parent Handbook, Questions to Ask your Orthopaedic Surgeon, News Articles, and more. We have also joined forces with Goodsearch.com, which gives you all an opportunity to help raise a little money for ISOP, simply by using www.goodsearch search engine and indicating ISOP. All you have to do is go to www.infantilescoliosis.org to download the GoodSearch toolbar, and use it as your search engine everytime you do an internet search. Each time you use this search engine, a penny will be donated to ISOP. A penny isnt much, but if we all forward this e-mail to our friends and family, and they use Goodsearch as well, we could actually raise a little money for ISOP, by years end. ISOP is gearing up for our next ETP(Early Treatment Program) Seminar's in NY.(August), and Sydney Australia (November). These events are being hosted by the Childrens Hospital of Rochester, and the Childrens Hospital of Sydney, and will include orthopaedic surgeons, pediatricians, and young patients from Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, and across the U.S., and abroad! Our ETP Seminars give the medical community the opportunity to learn the principles of Early Treatment for infantile scoliosis by the pioneer of this gentle method, and world renown orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Min Mehta. These 3 day events will consist of child exams and how to diagnose infantile scoliosis on the first day, and the next 2 days will be alotted for the operating room. This will give the medical community hands-on training on how to properly apply a series of plaster jackets on the appropriate equipment. These surgeons will then implement the Early Treatment Method at their hospitals, and more infants can benefit from this effective, non-surgical, life saving treatment. Please help us continue Early Treatment work in the U.S. and abroad. Help us ensure that all children throughout the world have the opportunity to be treated Early. Early Treatment can correct a childs spine gently and can rid them of the deformity, permanently. Thanks for your continued support, and for reading this long-winded e-mail! Have a fabulous weekend. Sincerely, Hyatt Montoya Founder & Coordinator ISOP (Infantile Scoliosis Outreach Program) www.infantilescoliosis.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Gail: I'm so sorry to read about your St. Bernard. It's one of the hardest things you'll have to do and I understand how you feel. I apologize for not being available sooner but we've been out of the country for 8 days on a cruise. We came home, got the bags into the house and ran to get our dogs (Ricky and Lucy) from the dog sitter. We missed them desperately! If you need to chat please feel free to email me at Zovtic@.... I've just been through putting my rabbit down a few weeks ago and I've had an extensive background with dogs (family business). Again, I'm sorry for your loss. Take care and be well.
