Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Thanks for your input, Priscilla. We have been thinking about his heart too, since he has a small ASD II which is supposed to be slowly closing by itself as we were told by the cardiologist. He just had an ultrasound checkup last July and they said everything was fine. When he was about 2 months old he had a MRI of the heart done as well, just to make sure they hadn't missed anything with the previous ultrasound. But you never know, do you? I'll keep it in mind. Re: ? Evan also had the slow gastric emptying --we were able to draw upfrom the NG tube his total feed from 3 hours before. It wasvirtually untouched, undigested, the same. They tried Cisapride butit didn't make any difference and this drug was taken off the marketlater due to causing heart problems in little ones. They never didknow why Evan had this slow emptying --but that was probably onereason he would throw up -I mean a stomach can't hold one feed on topof another very long --but maybe it was all tied in to the heartproblem since it got better when that got better?? I dunno. Also, Ilearned that the NG tube can cause reflux and when we got rid of itlater after heart surgery, no more reflux and its accompanying pain.Priscilla K>>>>> " Müller" mueller-= Thanks, Carol.Well, didn't get a tube placed as a solution, rather to keephim alive. If he hadn't had one for the last 2 weeks he wouldprobably have starved to death, for he isn't drinking and eating atall anymore. I think the situation is way past fiddling around withdietary measures. The enteral food he is getting now is called"Frebini", a liquid containing all kinds of SCD incompatible thingslike oat fiber, maltodextrine, lactose etc., but still he hasn't beenshowing any aversion (yet). I'll talk to the doctors about having himtested for food intolerances/allergies, as he reacts badly toyoghurt, also the SCD type, I'm afraid. We believe that the SCDhelped him for some time because it is a very light diet, but itdidn't help his underlying problem, which Saskia and I think might becaused by delayed gastric emptying (an example: we fed him a yoghurton hospital-day-two because the docs wanted to record how he reactsto normal food - they don't believe in SCD - and astonishingly hegobbled it up without hesitating - he really enjoyed it - but then hewas sick with it from 8am to 6pm, so that means it got stuck in histummy without moving further down). So next to food allergies thenext thing we'll try to find out if the specialists are willing totry erythromycin, a safe motility drug. I really, really hope thatthis will turn out to be the solution, otherwise he's in forsurgery...Trying to keep our peckers up,, with Saskia, Nora-Jane & /DS/GERD/ASDII>>>>>>>>Priscilla Kendrick, married 29 years to Darrel and parents of 9 kids including Evan, 10, born with Down Syndrome and Spina Bifida"My strength is made perfect in weakness."

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hi - So sorry to hear of the problems is still having. It gets old, doesn’t it? Hang in there…we are praying for your family and the doctors, too. Danny had a LOT of problems with delayed gastric emptying/vomiting when he was an infant. Meds never worked for him-but the problem did clear up right after he had his heart repair. But he had a large and very obvious heart defect, that gave him a lot of symptoms. Here is a list of Ds clinics in the US…maybe someone at one of these clinics had dealt with a patient with similar problems and would have some insight for you about what is going on w/.. couldn’t hurt to send an email to ask, anyway. http://www.ds-health.com/clinics.htm KathyR >>>>> " Müller " mueller-= Thanks, Carol.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I have seen quite a few pieces of info here, Duece I don’t understand what the problem is. Nikki Hello any one there; Did I wander off from the main body of this site, I assume (I Know) there are areas of reference I could gather for understanding the medical and legal ramification, procedures I can associate with my case. Writing earlier showed some hope I was on the right track, I am beginning to think there is a forum with uninfected people, to concentrate on issues I have, I've received enough cold shoulders, from work, State Fund, Workers Comp, a team of Doctors, and enough Legal personnel to sink a ship, " is that a good thing " . I need attention focused on my peril. This has never been my character, but I'm now facing an intangible foe. Please inform me as to a place to further my gathering of facts and stats on this ailment. Thanks Deuce __._,_.___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I am not sure what you are talking about as far as the legal ramifications as far as the disease goes. Medical yeah we can look up for you or have the answers right off the top of our heads because we have been researching it so long. But legal matters is something I am not comfortable giving advice on as I am not a paralegal or a Attorney. We do have a member here associated with a Law firm, but other than giving you general advice, I think that they would have you talk to a Lawyer that deals with medical issues. Because workman's comp, is one sort of issues, SSI another,SSDI another and so forth. It is like searching for a doctor that specializes in your particular need. Anyway we will try to help in anyway we can. Love JanetJackie on <redjaxjm@...> wrote: Hi Deuce First off, welcome to the group. I am Jax, one of the moderators here on this forum.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Hi Connie I've just got back from 2 weeks holiday and am feeling well thanks It's almost 6 weeks since my hip replacement: I still get sore by the end of the day, but that is usually because I am fairly active. I have been kayaking and can use an exercycle for 20 minutes now. Walking is the hardest thing - if I walk too much (go shopping, for instance) I start to limp. Still using 2 sticks when out and about, but none when pottering around the house. I can definitely see improvement each day and am really grateful for the surgery!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Wonderful news . Thank God for answered prayer. Keep up the improvements each day. Thanks for your concern in my health condition. I just have to take it in stride and think of it as just another thing to do daily. Blessings Fr.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi , I guess I didn't know you had hip surgery? Sorry for that, but I'm glad it's going so well. You sound like a great example to everyone. You have stayed active and fit it sounds like. Do you mind if I ask how old you are? I just see a lot of people on this site that are getting or have gotten hip replacements and I didn't think that was supposed to be par for the course with Reiters. It's not supposed to destroy joints I thought. So I'm wondering if I'm going to be looking at this and when? I'm 35 now. Oh--and I'm still in the wheelchair--but I'm about 50% out of it--seem to have hit plateau, when I try to do more on my feet--they swell and hurt. Baby steps for now I guess. I plan to be hiking 5-10 miles by summer! Anyway, congrats on your recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hi ,, I can understand your concern regarding this issue but one of the main things with tx is being able to get through it and most ppl WILL need medications for the side effects.. Anti-depressants are VERY necessary as the Interferon depletes your brain of its 'normal' levels and THAT increases depression and insomnia and a host of other problems,its not just 'in our heads', the depression IS REAL because its proven that the INF depletes the brain seretonin , so the Anti-depressants are really needed... Pain meds are also needed for some (most) people.. Do you remember the last time you had a real flu and you had that fever and it caused your body to hurt from head to toe?? THAT pain was from the natural occurring Interferons in your body as its trying to fight the flu bug,, well when you use Interferon shots, it raises the interferons in your body hugely, much worse than what you felt when you had the flu and experienced what I just spoke about... I have had Fibromyalgia since I was a little girl and the Interferon and Riba caused a HUGE increase in my body aches and pains and had it not been for the better pain meds, I could never have finished my tx.. I couldnt even get out of bed without the pain meds and I STILL cannot get out of bed until a good hour after I have taken my morning dose of morphine.. My doc switched me from the norco to morphine ( because the norco still has tylenol even tho a smaller amount but still has it and long term use of tylenol is even worse on the liver than other pain meds)for long term care of my fibro, osteo, Rheumatoid, my sarcoidosis that were all exacerbated by tx.. so its matter of survival for me now,, Im sure I'd end my life if I didnt have at least this much pain control.. I am ALWAYS in pain, even with the morphine I take,, but at the doses I take, Im never high from it( most ppl can't tell I have even taken anything),, and it never gets rid of all the pain.. I know many many others just like me.. after tx who have lots of long term and very permanent damage from tx... in fact,, like your sister,, some ppl actually get worse or die from treatment and for some ppl, treatment causes their hep c to run quickly into end stage liver failure.. its sort of a crap shoot.. at best... Your sister failed tx and that is unfortunate but I honestly do NOT believe it had anything to do with her taking her prescribed meds unless they were liver UNfriendly... some meds are very damaging to the liver, like cymbalta for depression or lots of Tylenol, or iron pills for anemia etc,, but without the sides being treated, most ppl are unable to complete treatment OR they end up using other forms of drugs ( illegal street drugs) just to be able to tolerate this tx..Or they stop treatment and then this virus mutates. I would suggest that ANYONE who thinks that we can do this tx without pain meds and or sleeping meds along with depression meds should take just ONE shot of this stuff and see how they feel about it after that... I know that sounds really rude and I dont mean it to be but unless one has gone through this, you cannot imagine just how awful this one little shot can make you feel,, it has anti-freeze in it to make it stay in your system longer so its not like you can take this shot and within an hour or two all the bad sides from the shot are gone,, it lasts days, weeks and months... , this is just my opinion,, and I hope I havent offended you because that is not my intention,, but honestly, unless you have had a shot of this stuff,, you really have no idea of how it makes you feel... Our livers are sick and yes, it IS better if one doesnt need to take many more drugs other than the tx but that is not always possible.. jackierichard gill <rbg11163@...> wrote: i see alot of post that suggest taking drugs for the blahs,pain ect.all i know is my sister continued to take drugs(yes prescribed ones) while she went through her treatment and she ended up not clearing, almost dieing and getting a new liver.i dont think she ever had a viral load drop like i had either (9mil/94,000).so the sides are bad- but are drugs the answer?

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I'm not into planes though: they remind me of getting air sick. Now, the last time they had a military vehicle show on the army base here I was sorely tempted to make some offers on a couple of WWII vehicles. It was more the maintenance issue that prevented me than the straight purchase cost, which would have hurt in themselves. I just don't have the contacts and resources to keep them up, and it would be terrible to have them sit out there and rot. Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Sea salt would not cause thyroid storm. There isn't enough iodine in it to effect your thyroid through your feet. The only reason salt has iodine is because man put it in it and then it evaporates when exposed to the air. Secondly if you were exposed to iodine in the salt it is cancer PROTECTIVE not EVOKING.
