My daughter had a complete personality change on Anafranil.It was very gradual

and I didn't realize what was causing this.She turned into someone no one wanted

to be around.Once she was taken off of the Anafranil,her whole disposition was

wonderful.She laughed,talked,went outside,participated in other activities.

Hi Chelle...

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Yeah, it sure was scary. It still is kinda, 'cause

they still don't know where the bleeding came from. Oh

well, another mystery. Guess it comes with the

territory. Its funny, I woke up a little while ago,

and, well, I don't FEEL 50! (lol)

Anyway, besides being real tired, feeling a little

weak, I actually feel pretty good...pain isn't too

bad. I am determined to have a good day! Hope everyone

else does as well. Take care. SueH

Shaye,

I'm sorry I haven't answered this before now. I've had my hands full

getting things done that I'd put off for too long. Once I got caught up I

found that almost all my soap was sweating from the high humidity we've had.

On top of that a couple of batches have developed DOS. I'm rotating batches

of soap in the oven to dry them out with the pilot light.

The NE gathering was lots of fun. Maybe Becky or Pat should post about

it because I missed all the demos (big surprise, huh? lol) but one. Becky,

thanks again for helping me get to RI!

WOW, Shaye! He really does decorate ritzy houses! That is quite

impressive! Thanks for showing me.

Jordan was always a little stronger while he slept too. But I can't tell if

that's the case anymore because he's just so much weaker now than a that

This is interesting because Adan was in a brace during this visit he took the brace off for about 30 min prior to the xrays then made the decision based on the shape and degrees of his back I think the fact that he was braced made the back have a better rvad and cobb although I did not understand that then......I decided to make sure another Dr ( Dr D'astou) had the same opinion....They did not so we went with Casting instead of waiting to hope the diagnosis from Dr sanders was correct....we casted because We said if it gets better in the cast then either way we only lost time and $ but if it gets worse we lost some serious time......we still lost time because ins ted of being in the cast in Sept like planned it did not happen until march due to colds and delays in the date so I lost about 6 months of the "prime growth" prior to 2 years old ....again I do not know it it would have made a difference

Remember your son is NOT braced and the RVAD is low that may be the answer...again the Shiriners doctors always gave me a low RVAD below 20 even 24 hrs out of brace and the Children's Boston gave me a RVAD 25to 30 so I am not sure who is correct all I know is he is in the best in case it does get worse...

Hope this helps and call me if I can help you in any way

Hey, I just saw in Deshea's post that Dr. refused to cast Adan because his RVAD is less than 20 degrees. This seems to be Dr. Khoury's feeling with Ian as well. Can you tell me what made you decide to have him casted and do you think that if I insist that the Erie Shriner's will go ahead and cast Ian? What was Adan's Cobb angle.

We're just kind of stuck here in limbo with Ian and I am unsure what to do next if there is no improvement by October when we have another set of films taken.

h,

Welcome to the group! That's so great to hear that you decided to

see one of the country's best surgeons because of this group! About

the 24 hr pH probe: my husband has had it done twice (once by a local

hospital and once at the Univ. of Michigan) and both times he removed

the tube himself. This was done after returning to the hospital where

they placed it. He was a little surprised at first, too, when they

asked him if he'd like to remove it. Maybe it's easier when you do it

yourself (like taking off a band-aid?). He said the tube comes out a

lot easier than it goes in . Good luck!

> Hi h,

I went for my follow up with Dr. Rice in June. Really not too bad. I

had a timed barium swallow also. I think they do another manometry

because it measures the pressure of the LES. The PH test was

inserted much the same as the manometry tube. The tube is taped to

your face and a monitor is strapped to your shoulder and they send

you off for 24 hours. The only problem I had was when I tried to

drink ice water, the tube hardens and tends to gag you. I went back

to the clinic and they removed the tubes. They did give me

instructions for removal. I think incase I had a problem during the

24 hours. The nurse at the clinic was very good at inserting the

tubes and the tests were not nearly as bad as the ones I've had at

home. Right after the ph tube was taken out I saw Dr. Rice and was

ready to leave for home. I think two days should do it. We flew so

we spent three days but we were ready to leave by about one pm on the

second day.

Hope this helps,

JoAnn

Not all doctors require this, but I can see where it is a good idea. It

records the pressers at the LES. If you develop problems later they can

do a third manometry and compare to see if the LES pressures have

changes. That can give an indication of whether the myotomy is failing

or if the problems is something else.

Hi h,

I just had a second mamometry done today it was much better than the

first I believe that was due to a more experienced person doing it. I

was fortunate to have my ph study done hi-tech with a bravo capsule.

please read my post about going to Shands. Good Luck to you and you

will be in my prayers.

Blessed Be,

Janine

h,

I had a myotomy done last June by Dr. Rice and the follow-up done last August.

I don't remember a follow-up manometry - just the pH test. I too dreaded it, but it really wasn't that bad - more an inconvenience than anything else. It is true that they place the tube just as they would during the manometry, but the tube itself is much smaller in diameter. Once the tube is placed, they tape it to the side of your face so that it doesn't move much, you put the monitor part around your neck - it hangs by your side - and you are on your way. I don't recall exactly now, but it seems to me you had to push a button to let the machine know that you were about to eat and/or had finished eating. I think you also pushed a button if you were going to lay down. Anyway, it was not difficult. The next morning, I went back in to have it removed - you certainly do not need to remove it yourself. They then print out results and you go to see Dr. Rice (or his assistant). I was told that very day what the results were - and, fortunately, I had no reflux episodes.

Try not to stress too much. It really wasn't bad - just an inconvenience. Try to keep yourself occupied to get your mind off it during those 24 hours. It will be over before you know it!

If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

attempts, I was asked to stand and raise my arms above my head. This

swallowing in the future.

Check out time is 12 noon so I think I ask my husband to take care of

this during my interview, I don't think I want to be charged for

I'm sure a barium swallow is scheduled, I've had so many of these I

don't give them a thought..;-).

Hope you are now eating whatever you please....I'll miss chocolate.

Something tells me I won't be lucky enough to experience hi tech with

a bravo capsule. I'm glad you were able to go through this without

having to deal with the tube.

Hi h, my name is and Dr Rice performed my Myotomy in July and I am doing great! I have to go back to Cleveland on September 19th. My 24 hour PH test will begin on the 20th. When is yours scheduled? I too am having the same anxious feelings regarding this tube being in me for 24 hours. So if your appointment is also on the 20th we should hang out! We could be the PH sisters!!! I am trying not to worry about it and am taking the attitude of just "get er done". Unlike you I do not have to have another manometry. I guess because it was done before surgery and I had one done locally in May. I wish none of us had to go through these test or this disease but I find so much comfort in everyone on this site the support here is indescribable. You and I will both be fine. in VA

Hi ,

I'm beginning to wonder why I need a myotomy now as you're the second

person to mention she wasn't required to have one post op. I didn't

have one before surgery and my first one was done in late January of

this year.

I'm glad to hear you are doing well, did you have trouble varying

your diet before the two month period was up or trouble with gas?

I will be in Cleveland for these tests on the 8th and 9th...hopefully

on my way home to Gettysburg by noon or so on the 9th. We are

arriving on the 7th late in the day as my first appointing is at 9AM

on the 8th. I'm probably much too old to be your PH sister, perhaps

a

PH Mom ;-).

Tomorrow I'm due for a cat scan as Dr. Stoller (very nice doctor) of

CC found a spot on

one of my lungs during pre-testing. He sent my local doctor

information and asked that I have a cat scan and also a pneunmonia

shot. He did say he thought it was only scar tissue. I cannot

imagine it being anything else or I wouldn't think they would allow

surgery. It seems one thinks a problem is taken care of and another

one pops up. Now to eat my breakfast of light yoguart.

Hi all,Interesting article, not about thyroid but mentions it, it was the comment at the end which caught my attention:"I'm a 26 year old woman and I startednoticing diffuse hairloss when I was 19. It took 5 years ofconsultations with dermatologists and a lot of reading until I foundout myself that the cause may be an underactive thyroid. Last year Iinsisted on making TSH blood tests that proved that I have elevatedlevel (3.5 TSH) and I was diagnosed hypothyroid. I used to have a longthick hair so it took years before the hairloss became more obvious andnow I have to wash it every day so I can get out without panickingwhenever somebody looks at my hair. It deffinitely helped my selfesteem when I took the hard decision to cut it short because thishaircut gives it a little more volume. 6 months ago I started takingeuthyrox25 (T4 hormone therapy) and now the level of TSH decreased to2.3 which is about normal. The treatment of my hypothyroidism shouldeventually reverse the hair thinning but I have no signs of regrowthuntil now. I know I have to be patient but I'm getting more desperate.Help!Dani, Sofia, Bulgaria"http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/global/article3145240.ece Luv

Oh ok, that makes sense. I still need to get that book to. Do you know if I can get that book in any bookstore or does it have to be ordered online from a specific source? Good luck, Heidi with the eliminiation diet. I'll be curious how it works out. Can't you go and get tested for food allergies at an allergiests office and have the same outcome instead of possibly suffering from a food that you can't tolerate? Just wondering if there is a difference.

Take care of yourself. Hugs H

The elimination diet is1. do away with certain foods you think that is causing you trouble for 2-3 weeks then reintroduce them and if you get a reaction like cramps or feeling icky the next day. You eliminate that food from your eating plan.I will do it with wheat, corn and some gluten products ,I also don't do well with oatmeal even steel cut oats I get gassy and bloated too. I am allergic to Pork so don't need that. Also don't eat much cheese either. so will write it all down and get my health in better shape I am taking supplements and the I 26 shake too that Domini sells it is good and I drink one for breakfast every other day. Love the strawberry flavor and it comes in chocolate and vanilla too for that inf. go towww.legacyforlife. comSo I will keep a diary and do that.It is given in more detail in Devin Starlyns book Fibromyalgia and Myofasical Pain

Syndrome.Hugs Heidi

Thanks to those who responded about where to find the book. I don't go out shopping too much but I found it last night on Amazon and went ahead and ordered it. Yay, I need lots of advice from this book and everyone speaks so highly of it. Thanks again all of you. Hugs H

Thanks Heidi for the information, I went ahead and ordered it last night from Amazon. Also here is the information on the farms for the Jax area. Hope this helps you. The Palatka/Starke to far for you, but there is one in the Orange Park/Middleburg area and another in the Orange Park area. I can picture these areas in my mind and miss it so. I really wish I still lived there, but things happen for a reason. Hugs H

You are so right Mike -- I have tried to be patient - but when the

bashing and tiraids continue with what looks like no end in site I must

step in. Especially when I receive email from our long time members

saying they are leaving the site. This is NOT okay.

Lets play nice and support lots.

Some react to that stress through anger and lashing out at others. Some

react by turning a bad situation into a humorous one. Others simply

read the posts and identify with some of the issues being raised that

make them feel like they are not alone.

It is painful to read some of the posts and I have to remind myself

that this too will pass. We are not homogeneous except for needing an

ICD. Be patient. We are all simply trying to cope with our illness.

We have people leaving this site because of this sort of

attitude.

Please STOP! This sort of tiraid is not okay here. We don't need this

sort of controversy and bashing.
