Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 , maybe you can get checked to see if it is an infection that might respond to an antibiotic. I'm not a big fan of antibiotics and only take them when absolutely necessary, but maybe you've got something that would respond. Dr. Feng puts you on antibiotics after the surgery as well, so I don't think they are something you can't take - but if your regular doctor prescribes something you might want to run it by Dr. Feng to make sure it's ok to take it. If you suspect strep it's probably a good idea to get a culture. Sis > > Good Morning Ladies. > > I am having some pain maybe you can help me understand.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I went to my doctor, like Sis, suggested. I do not have strep. I have what is called glossopharyngeal neuralgia. This is a condition with the 9th cranial nerve. My doctor thinks it is just another manisfestation of my implants. He says the sooner I get them out the better. He zapped this nerve with his low level laser and hopes it will help with the pain associated with this condition. I am frustrated with every new symptom arising from these stupid things. auntsisnj <auntsisnj@...> wrote: , maybe you can get checked to see if it is an infection that might respond to an antibiotic.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 , I wish I had a doctor like yours!! Hang in there, hon, the surgery is next week, and I know it's frustrating and horrible to live like this - and depressing. Before my explant, I felt like the days were just dragging on, but before I knew it the day came, and now the surgery is all behind me. I'm definitely still trying to get my health back, that does not happen over night, but what a relief to have the implants out. I'm sending prayers and positive, healing energy your way (when I went for my surgery, I felt the energy of all the women who have helped me on this site, and so I want to send some good energy your way, too).

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hello, I'd like to know if some of you have experienced using MMS to treat throat infections like amigdalitis, pharyngitis and streptococcus. Right now I seem to have an amidgalitis and I use the 6/6 Clara protocol since yesterday. Thank you and best regards, French Canadian living in France Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 So happy you got your infusion today. I hope it works well for you. Wishing you many pain free days ahead.  Hugs,  Barbara From: Dale Ellen Ulrich <deulrich@...> Subject: [ ] Sore throat Date: Monday, May 3, 2010, 9:45 PM  This is the update. I was able to get the Remicade infusion today. I think they look for fever, etc. No side effects except for feeling a bit run down. But that could be life style associated! I am fortunate that I am able to work 40 plus hours a week as a nurse manager. I pray everyone is able to find a way to manage the terrible symptoms of RA. I have had ups and downs just like everyone else, but really count my blessings when the symptoms are manageable! Best to all, Dale Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
