" >> So does the AAP!! Oh yeah, and the AMA. The World Health Organization is by far one of the more intelligent agencies...although it still does its share of harm. At least they advocate healthy initiatives like extended breastfeeding and midwifery, they do not bow down to the pharmaceutical companies and the AMA the way we do in the US. Money is the only reason why all those poor formula fed babies are given such a lousy start in life, and the drugged births and c-section rates!! Grrrrr. I could go on and on about how W.H.O. is a far better organization than anything we have in the states. Just my not so humble opinion, ~~G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 1999 Report Share Posted April 15, 1999 Hello, I guess I missed someting along the way....why is Ed McCabe in prison? Edith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 1999 Report Share Posted April 15, 1999 Hello everyone, the following is from Bill. Bill and took a trip up to Ed's property, and found some flood damage in his home that will have to be dealt with. So, if anyone was thinking about contributing to his fund (which again, all monies will be returned upon the sale of his property) please feel free to do so. Ed is now in a much nicer, minimum security facility. It has a good reputation. We hope he will be staying there, and that he will be as comfortable as possible for the remainder of his time in prison. Again, he is always so happy to receive any letters. Thank you for everything, Tangerine Greetings everyone! Ed was finally transferred. Below is the mailing address to be used " exactly as given " when corresponding with Ed. We can still use additional financial help for those willing to help, or those who have 'considered' to help. The fund raising campaign for his mortgage was a huge success, as I have noted in a prior message to the list. So we have THAT covered for now. But... there are still expenses we need and are going-to-need to cover, such as repairs to the plumbing system in his house which was damaged by the winter freeze, painting, general repairs, etc. You can also mail Ed money for his commissary and phone account. In this new facility, Ed can once again make " direct " phone calls, as opposed to COLLECT calls which where required in the prior facility. Ed's current address: J. McCabe 08536-052 Unit " B " P.O. Box 1000 Montgomery, PA 17752 Once again everyone, thanks!, for your continuing support for Ed. Bill Galkowski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 Hi , I was also told to take a multivitamin without iron until just this past visit when the doctor said to switch to the multi with iron because of the problem with ribavarin. I have been taking a multi without iron since diagnosed with hep c in 98. I haven't tried B-12 but will check into it. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2001 Report Share Posted April 15, 2001 Hi , I don't want to rain on your parade, but I to went to a pain management Dr., and he suggested S.I. joint injections, and or epidural steroid injections. I had 2 S.I. injections, one week apart, as an out-patient, on the x-ray table. I had no relief whatsoever from either one. Then the Dr. decided that we should switch to the epidural steroid injections. We did that, and the first one brought no relief either. He kept telling me that three times was the charm. Well, I came back for a 2nd. one, (which was my 4th. injection), and when that did nothing either, I said it was time to call it quits. He tried to talk me into having one more. Why? was my question, as I already had all that steroid in me, and it didn't make any difference. The injections are somewhat painful, but if it had taken my pain away, it would have been worth it. When I asked him what else we could try, he said that injections are all that he does. When I asked about pain medications, he said I should ask my family Dr. Some helpful guy, huh? Maybe you'll be a lot more lucky than I was in the relief dept., but that's my story. Bonnie K.

I have seen several doctors and they all want to operate again. I got the feeling that this was a last ditch effort more than anything. So far, I have not talked to anyone that has had any great success with them. Plus the pain and discomfort level has ranged from, uncomfortable to unbearable. I think at this point they do not have a clue as to what to do about my pain and I am at the point that I am not letting anyone touch me. Thanks for the answer though!

He did give me a script for pain meds but was pretty much saying that this would be all that he could do for me and if it did not work then I could return to my ortho and set up something surgical.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2001 Report Share Posted April 15, 2001 Bonnie, Long before my surgeries, I tried the injections. I only had one because it made the pain much, much worse. It seemed like he hit the bone. Anyhow, he hurt me so much and it took so long to get over, I refused to return for the other injections too. That was an referral by a GP and done in the operating room as an out-patient. My pain management doctor never even suggested anything other than medication. He knows, I've already tried many options which failed and has no problem with the drugs in my case. I suggest you locate another doctor. Good luck. ===== Jeanette __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Hey Group: CONGRATS!!! To everyone that's doing better, I am so proud of us, and I don't hestitate to let people know either. On the other hand, I always share the negative also. What I need to know, however. . . Is the PCR a blood test or BMB??? I haven't had a BMB since diagnosis and I am not looking forward to another one. It didn't hurt during, as they used lidocaine, but several hours later. . . I WAS ON FIRE!!! I have an appointment in a few days, and I can't ask my doctor, because he told me that a FISH and PCR are the same. I have to educate him on that when I go in. Let me know, I believe PCR is a blood test. You guys, as always, are in my prayers. " K " " I AIN'T FINISHED YET " !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Hi K, No, the FISH and PCR tests are completely different however they do look for the same thing so maybe that's the confussion you're having with your doctor? Either test can be done on peripheral blood or marrow but as I've said, they now prefer to do the PCR on peripheral blood because they can get a bigger sample of cells to examine. The main differences in the two tests are their sensitivity. The FISH test typically examines 200-500 cells whereas the PCR has the capability to examine a million. Obviously the more cells you look at, the better the picture will be regarding disease status. There are also differences in the techniques used to actually examine the cells but I won't bore you with the technical side of it. Suffice to say that the two tests are different and one should not replace or substitute the other. Take care, Tracey > Hey Group: > > CONGRATS!!!
