Hormones

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

What are hormones? We seem to have touched upon a subject that has drawn a

lot of interest. I have done a little research that you might be interested in

or even find your own symptom. These topics cover the endocrine gland system to

help you better understand what could be your particular problem and what

hormone you may be deficient in. Just my nickel's worth.

A hormone (from Greek - " to set in motion " ) is a chemical messenger that carries

a signal from one cell (or group of cells) to another. All multicellular

organisms produce hormones (including plants - see phytohormone).The function of

hormones is to carry information to the target cells; the action of hormones is

determined by the pattern of secretion and response of the receiving tissue -

the signal transduction response.The best-known animal hormones are those

produced by endocrine glands of vertebrate animals, but hormones are produced by

nearly every organ system and tissue type in a multicellular organism.Endocrine

hormone molecules are secreted (released) directly into the bloodstream, while

exocrine hormones (or ectohormones) are secreted directly into a duct, and from

the duct they either flow into the bloodstream or they flow from cell to cell by

diffusion in a process known as paracrine signalling. (From Wikepedia)

I just got home from a 13 hour day at work... No need to beat me up as thats

already done!!!

Hormones... Heck daisy still has um! And she is up there in dog years...

Yes, lasix doesn't mix well with some stuff. Be sure to check that one on line

for interaction notices.

I think we always have hormones and thats why it such an easy thing to blame all

the side effects.

I think the lower dose is working much better, and i am relieved. I really LOVE

my stem cell transplant doc, just hope to never really need the guy. However he

is a wonderful source of information and also helped with the calcium

issues/heart flutter thingee. Glad to have avoided that bp medicine! If i

could have him as my primary that would be wonderful but not sure what that does

about the study. I will check...just for you Lottie!

Gotta go take care of Lili and daisy. Talk to you and jimmie soon.

Dear Rhonda,

How dare you insinuate that just because I am 80, I don't have hormone

problems? LOL Found out Lasix gives me hot flashes. Anyone else have that as a

side effect?

I think you should ask for another doctor, it's done all the time. Can you get

your hormones checked to see if there is any truth to what she is saying? Over

time, I think any drug will eventually cause side effects. When Gleevec made

it's debut, everyone clamored for it because it was said it had no side effects.

Anyone who has been on Gleevec or any cancer drug for several years would debate

that. Some people sail through Sprycel, but many, like you have a difficult

time. When I was in the BMS trial, the first thing that happened to me was the

terrible headaches, bone and joint aches and fever. When I called the clinic,

they said I should go to the hospital. Your doctor wants you to ignore it?

Maybe she needs a refresher course, or an attitude adjustment. If we were all

clones, we could expect to all have the same results and/or side effects.

Stop bad mouthing me, or I will leave early and go beat you up about the head

and shoulders before you leave for your vacation. LOL On second thought, all

is forgiven, wouldn't want to disappoint Lili.

Blessings anyway,

Lottie
