Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 Hi Cat, thanks so much and I agree with you. I have told her to go to the ER but she believes her doctor knows about all this and he is still keeping her on this stuff which is silly. I know all too well what Celebrex did to me in the way of breathing and I told her about me but she just says me too but wont budge! I don't know if age has anything to do with it but she is convinced that her doc knows better. I just thought maybe I can copy some information on this and write send it in a letter. Since she lives so far away. This poor women and her son my ex doesn't even care. I have been telling her she has to move closer so I can take care of her. Anyway it makes me mad that she still thinks that doctors know best! I know from experence that they all don't know best.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 ette, I understand you can't get her to the ER, however, I just pulled up a couple of things she may need to see. I have included the websites where I got this info. Every drug has potential serious side effects, and not everyone will experience them; however, it sounds as though she needs to realize that what she is experiencing are serious side effects & need to be addressed. Good luck, Chris greywolf70@... *************************************************************** Taken from www.remicade.com " Many people with heart failure should not take REMICADE; so, prior to treatment you should discuss any heart condition with your doctor. Tell your doctor right away if you develop new or worsening symptoms of heart failure (such as shortness of breath or swelling of your feet). There are reports of serious infections, including tuberculosis (TB) and sepsis. Some of these infections have been fatal. Tell your doctor if you have had recent or past exposure to people with TB. Your doctor will evaluate you for TB and perform a skin test. If you have latent (inactive) TB your doctor should begin TB treatment before you start REMICADE. If you are prone to or have a history of infections, currently have one, or develop one while taking REMICADE, tell your doctor right away. Also tell your doctor if you have lived in a region where histoplasmosis is common or if you have or have had a disease that affects the nervous system, or if you experience any numbness, tingling, or visual disturbances. There are also reports of serious infusion reactions with hives, difficulty breathing, and low blood pressure.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 Hi ette, When does she next see the doctor?? I agree with everyone else, she should get to the ER...but, if she refuses to do that, perhaps Barb's suggestion would work. Have her call and talk with a nurse..and what ever else Barb said. Is she stubborn or afraid??? She does need medical attention, and soon I would say. Is there a neighbor who lives close to her, and you could give them a call? Maybe someone needs to just tell her she needs medical attention, and they could take her to the ER and stay with her. Perhaps she's afraid to go alone. Your friend, ~~tricia~~ p.s. Please let us know how this turns out...okay?? I surely hope she will be okay. Some meds can be awful little buggers!! (speaking from experience!) -- Re: Help! Hi everybody. I need help.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 Hello ette, your mother in law appears to be having a reaction and I think that she should get herself to the Emerg. immediately. Her doctor also should have suggested this to be on the safe side. For someone's tongue to begin to swell surely cannot be a good thing! Here is a site that I came across trying to find the side effects of Remicade for you. If you go to www.about.com and type in " remicade side effects " in the find/search part it will come up with a screen that has a listing of different things to choose from. Click on the first link which says " Side Effects - Infliximab [Remicade] " and this will take to where I found the following. Infliximab [Remicade] Always Notify Doctor: More common Abdominal pain cough dizziness fainting headache muscle pain nasal congestion nausea runny nose shortness of breath sneezing sore throat tightness in chest unusual tiredness or weakness vomiting wheezing Less Common back pain bloody or cloudy urine cracks in skin at the corners of mouth diarrhea difficult or painful urination frequent urge to urinate high blood pressure low blood pressure pain pain or tenderness around eyes and cheekbones skin rash soreness or irritation of mouth or tongue soreness or redness around fingernails or toenails vaginal burning or itching and discharge white patches in mouth and/or on tongue Rare abscess (swollen, red, tender area of infection containing pus) back or side pain black, tarry stools blood in urine or stools bone or joint pain constipation falls feeling of fullness general feeling of illness hernia (bulge of tissue through the wall of the abdomen) infection irregular or pounding heartbeat pain in rectum pain spreading from the abdomen to the left shoulder pinpoint red spots on skin stomach pain (severe) swollen or painful glands tendon injury unusual bleeding or bruising weight loss (unusual) yellow skin and eyes Notify Doctor Immediately More common chest pain chills fever flushing of face hives itching troubled breathing Other side effects not listed above may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your doctor.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 Hello ette, I just got out of the hospital, " Still's was in town, but I kicked him out, temporarily, of course. " My hearts and lungs were susceptible, so my doctor could not give me methotrexate or remicade. He has set me up in getting about a third of a normal dose of Cytoxin every three weeks. Maybe this would be an alternative for your mother-in-law. Sincerest of regards, Thiele P.S. I am a new member, having just found your wonderful website. My Still's had been in remission for twenty years, up until this past weekend. I am very interested to see if it is truly the disease that my rheumy, Dr. Fabricant, from Fullerton, CA, told me about it when I was severely sick with super-high fevers from 1985 to 1990. During that time, my large intestine was disconnected for over a year. Most internal organs are always adversely affected by these bouts with SD. I have just started reading all of your e-mails. Many of you write about the extreme fatigue. I only get the extreme soreness while in SD's grasp. However, I am beginning to realize that my case history is not the norm. There exists many of you who go through sooo much more than I have. God bless you all and I feel very privileged in stating that I now belong to your group!

I buy a packet of Good Seasonings salad dressing mix in the little packets (they have lots of flavors) and buy the cruet if you don't have one already. Then mix according to packet directions, using the flax oil for the vegetable oil that is called for. I've experimented and used balsamic vinegar and also apple cider vinegar in the mix. They've all been good. Now, there are carbs in the mix, but not so many to worry about. You can use it just like regular salad dressing, just make sure to keep it in the fridge and shake it gently.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2002 Report Share Posted August 22, 2002 , I feel your pain. I get a chaser like lemon water or not-too-hot coffee and take mine by the spoon, trying not to let it touch my tongue too much. Follow with chaser of your choice (not a hot fudge sundae!) I really hated the Barleans and now use Health from the Sun brand which is MUCH better tasting, (but not great still). Some women add spices to it and use it for salad dressing. IMHO anything it touches is ruined. Park Help! OK, I finally took the plunge and bought some Barleans Flax Oil today. Was determined that no matter how it tasted, I was going to take 2T per day.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2002 Report Share Posted August 22, 2002 Thanks for the idea. I was just telling my husband a funny story about it. I was in a store looking at it and trying to decide what to get. This lady walked by, picked up a bottle and just went on and on and on and on about how wonderful it was -- greatest stuff ever, blah blah blah. So, I'm thinking, this lady must really use this stuff a lot so I'll ask her how she uses it. (Wondering if she puts in on baked potatoes, salads or what.) I asked her, and she says " I don't use the stuff, I give it to my dogs. " Needless to say I didn't buy any that day! Ha ha! Thanks again for the salad dressing recipe. I'll give it a try! > > OK, I finally took the plunge and bought some Barleans Flax Oil > > today. Was determined that no matter how it tasted, I was going to > > take 2T per day.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 , My recommendation is to never put oil where oil doesn't naturally belong. Oatmeal+oil=blech for instance! I use udos, and it really adds to the flavor of my food. The ways I use it most often are mixed with balsamic vinegar, pepper and garlic as a salad dressing (tuna, romaine and apple, yum!), mixed with salsa and poured on any food that is mexicany, mixed with garlic and basil and poured over chicken and rice, pasta, etc. HTH!

As you build muscle you may gain weight but as long as you are getting smalller, who cares what you weigh? My goal right now is to get to 12% BF and weigh as MUCH as possible! Muscle baby, muscle!!

Do you suffer from that. Take a deep breath and keep up with the program. You never said how many weeks you have been on the program or how many pounds you need to lose.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Thanks nne, I placed her in a box and called them both downstairs and told them they need to say goodbye. My oldest is just crying her eyes out and my youngest is tearing up from time to time. She drew a picture of her. Told them she is not in pain now and is prolly in a sunnyshiny place running around and chasing butterflies. Kinda corny, but what can I say. Its just too hard. They sat and petted her for a long time and then I had to take her out. RE: HELP! Shaye, I'm so sorry. My heart really goes out to you.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 I hope that they will be OK. You did a good job with handling the situation, I think. Time does help heal the wound of a lost pet, but you never fully ever get over it, I don't think. I still think about and what a wonderful, loving dog he was ~ and when I go back to my parents' house, I still find myself looking over beside the chair where he always used to sit when I came home from school. Hang onto the memories! I will be holding good thoughts for all of you. I agree, she isn't suffering anymore and is in a wonderful place. ~nne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Aw, Shaye, I just saw this....I am so sorry about your kitty, but she lived a long and happy life with people that really loved her! Your kids should be able to appreciate that, for sure. And, you didn't have to make any decisions...she was able to simply pass away without any intervention. That is good. We are struggling here with what to do about Lady dog. She is getting sores on her feet because she cannot walk on them She just drags herself around. I am a very unpopular person because I keep telling Mark and the kids that we really need to put her down. I know it is so hard saying good bye to a pet that has also been a friend for so many years. Please tell the kids we are so sorry. Kae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
