Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Ok, The medicine I spoke of at the Mayo Clinic is designed to kill the organism that are produceing the tricothacines. Once that is done, at that point you would introduce CSM to flush out the tricothacines. UnitedStatesVet <unitedstatesvet@...> wrote: I am glad to see this message again. Speaking with Dr. Hooper, he informed me (my mom)that Dr. Dennis in Atlanta told him (he said she said..LOL) the Mayo Clinic may or does have a new medicine that will pull the tricothecines out of your system. I will get this confirmed and respond again to be sure but this is pleasant news although I think that is what CSM is supose to do? I am still a little confused on the issue but am in the middle of this exact situation minus the steroid part. SHARON, congradulations. That is great news. I wish you the best. Chris..

My hypothalamus is healing and I am going back to work on Wednesday. I recently did get sick with shingles and then with a sinus infection so I am feeling lousy. The last time my body had this much stress I had to triple my dose of steriods. I was literally close to being brought to the emergency room and having them give me hydrocortisone by IV so I do believe there are treatments that can give you back part of your life. I realize I am lucky to have improved this much. > > > > > > I typically try to keep my opinions of medicine for these illnesses > to > > myself, but this one really bugs me. Steroids!
