Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 : Hi. I had a high WBC since 2001 that I know of. It sometimes goes back in the high normal range only to become abnormal again. I don't know what to think. I'll ask the dermatologist tomorrow. I had a BA for less than a month so I don't know if that is the cause or if I'm screwed with something else? Who knows. I have a new endo, I'll ask him. I'm getting blood work done tomorrow or Thursday, so maybe that will shed some light. Did you have scalp pain/headaches too?Thanks. Take care.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 LM, I did when I had the implants, esp in the morning. The top of my head ached, and the back of my head where it meets the neck and shoulders were terribly tight. All went away since explant, actually were the first to go away. Do you know if you have fibromyalgia? I know that often has high white blood cell count, and severe aching in the head and neck? (and legs) Tension headaches too. So does thyroid. Hang in there, I hope you can get some answers soon. I know how frustrating it must be. Love, Re: Re: Photos >Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2004 13:25:24 -0700 (PDT) > >: >Hi.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Hi ! My new endo I saw last week suspects FMS and/or RA. I have leg pain, hip, feet,hands and wrist.I'm having rheumatological and hormonal bloodwork tomorrow or Thursday. My scalp and head hurt too--though the headaches could have been from my sinus infection and my granuloma tumor--so it's hard to say. My scalp feels funny--like slivers are pushing upwards or something--really weird. Do you still have hair loss? My hair stopped shedding shortly after I stopped the HGH injections. I also have hair loss after surgery. It sux. So you're in Illinois? I'm on a wating list for another apt. in downtown Indy. I'd love to live downtown Chicago but I thought I'd get studio apt. before my surgery. My lease ran out on the other, now I'm in DC--home. How far are you from Chicago and Indianapolis?I love Chicago, I was there five times last year. I thought about going to Mercola too. I'll read your posts about him tomorrow--I'm so behind on my e-mails/posts. I need to go, I'm watching a movie.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Marie, I think about an hour and a half! I didn’t know you were so close! HMMM. MAybe we can hook up, even with Kathy! If it is fibro, please look at Dr Lowe's site www.drlowe.com He believes that a severe case of hypothyroidism can in turn cause "FM", and Fm is really long term unsuspected thyroid related issues. If treated properly, you can put it in remission on proper meds. His wellness center in Colorado has healed thousands, and he has written I think at least 3 books on the topic. I have 2. I almost went to him, but used his info for a doc in Valpo, Indiana who did wonders putting me on the correct thyroid meds (acording to Dr Lowe's principles) to get over the thyroid resistance I was having. It happens when your body is unable to take in thyroid hormone at a cellular level, due to toxin backup. Most don’t even show they have thyroid issues on blood work, you may be "fine' on thyroid labs. But, it is not always what level is in your floating around in your blood , but it is what your body is utalizing at the cells, that is important, and they often don’t see. Check out his symptoms list, for cellular resistance. it may surprise you! I had symptoms of RA totally, and all was attributed to thyroid. Gone. I will pray for you, and hope you are doing well with all of this. Have you done a lot of detox? Love Re: Re: Photos >Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2004 13:25:24 -0700 (PDT) > >: >Hi.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 It looks like there is a problem with the photos in that we have gone over the quota. Shireen is away at the moment and as soon as she gets back will sort this problem out. Probably best not to post any for the timebeing.
