Guest guest Posted May 1, 2000 Report Share Posted May 1, 2000 I had mouth sores also. I went to my pharmacist and he suggested Biotene. I used Biotene toothpaste and mouth wash. I also purchased a saliva substitute and used it constantly. It did help. Judy http://community.webtv.net/jcmmo/Affirmation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2000 Report Share Posted May 1, 2000 When my alt's were high I had " ulcers " in my throat, mouth and even my eyes. Doc gave me some numbing spray for the throat and mouth. Once alt's stabilized the ulcers went away. alley/ ICQ 12631861 alleypat@... http://www.flash.net/~alleypat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2000 Report Share Posted October 28, 2000 We not only get some of the animals' DNA, we get their bacteria and viruses. From what I understand, it's a big problem how you inactivate the diseases present in the cell cultures without inactivating the vaccine.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2000 Report Share Posted October 30, 2000 There are many supplements that are made of various animal organs. Only those that are manufactured as Homeopathic Sarcodes are safe, in that they do not have any of the original product in it, thus none of the DNA is passed onto the user of the remedy. Thymus, testes, ovaries, heart, lungs, bone marrow, etc, are often used in supplement form. You must be careful of things such as Calorad that is a weight loss product that is made from the bones of cattle. Jello is made of the bone of cattle and any supplement that is in capsule form is placed into capsules that are made of gelatin that is manufactured from cattle bones. All of these substances can and do have the DNA of the animal for which they were originally. Question?? > Does anyone know if any other drugs besides vaccines are grown on animal > parts.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2001 Report Share Posted March 23, 2001 Kellen began jerking, thrashing and loud orating in her sleep around time of OCD onset, though not before. This was made worse by a couple of the SSRIs she was on, and was less pronounced on a couple of others. Always when starting and titering up on a new SSRI, the thrashing would come back gangbusters for a period of time. She had a toddler gate on her bed until recently because of this. A little over a year ago I became really concerned, because on different nights she threw herself out of bed, kicked herself and the mattress off the box springs, and whacked her hands and feet hard on the wall in her sleep. I really thought she might break her hand or otherwise hurt herself in her sleep. She had also started having tics, and her doctor prescribed Risperdal. From the first dose this stopped her wild thrashing and loud monologues. I'm sorry I don't have an explaination for this, but Kel's doctor didn't seem surprised to hear she was doing it. I'm not sure how effective the Risperdal has been over time on the tics, but it has continued to suppress the exaggerated motions in sleep, so she still takes a very low dose of it.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 OK, Theres a " certain time of month " I start to feel really bad. About 4 days before my period I get really sick. I get sevre miagranes, heat flashes, my arthritis get worse, fevers, even more fatigued that usual and of course more easily irriated. I'm used to it happening but is there anything I can do to make it go away? Last night I felt so bad. On Monday I have something VERY important to do and i want to do anything I can to feel decent then. (I sing and I'm going to record a remake of a song with a producer in NJ) If Lyme ruins this for me I dunno what I'm gonna do. So if anyone has any tips of how I can improve my status due to my period please let me know. I take oral abx, pain pills, vitiamns. Oh yeah and how do you get rid of thrush? My tounge hs been white for a long yime and it kinda hurts. I told me doc and she just said I think you have thrush and didn't do anything else. Maybe its ok that its there? Lemme know please, Take Care. Amber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But today my stomach hurt so bad I thought it would start but nothing Have you ever tried PMS Midol, that stuff works wonders. For thrush you could ask your dr for a swish and swallow rinse, the one my dr prescribed for me is 500 ml Nystatiin Sus. I had to do this four times a day, the taste isn't bad either. Kind of reminds me of my grandmothers mouthwash growing up, Lavoris good luck! And good luck with your recording, how exciting.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2001 Report Share Posted October 7, 2001 Don't know if it was Lyme related or not, but two yrs. after being infected I had to have a total hysterectomy. My periods were so bad that I would get anemic every month. I was hemorrhaging and would have such horrible stomach and leg cramps I couldn't function for two days a month. Also had many, many cysts on ... and in ... my ovaries. The Dr. tried to do a partial but the cysts were so bad he had no choice ... had to get rid of both ovaries too. Hope you don't get that bad!!

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2002 Report Share Posted July 4, 2002 Desensitizing means that small amounts of the offending agent may be administered gradually to allow the body to learn to accept this agent. Also, it could mean slowly administering an anti-histamine to counteract any reactions. Regarding your own situation, perhaps you might need to back down on your own doses until the herx lessens. it seems to me that you need to do a toxin cleanse somehow. Even if it means a clear water enema. Herxes can be extremely hard if they coincide with the time of the month just prior to menses. Perhaps a warm water soak will help your symptoms? Gradually letting the water cool. Dont try a hot bath as that will only cause more toxins to be released which will worsen the herx. If you are able to take Tylenol, do so. It will help the fever and burning aches. Hope this helps. Lovey > What does one do for a very swollen red face?? Any good hints..I tried heat, cold...anything else I can try. I am herxing so bad that I want to pull me hair out. Can't stay at the computer long, you know how that goes. I hope this is as bad as it gets...my blood pressure is jumping up and down, I have fever and my spine feels like someone is jabbing a knife up and down it followed by a hot blow torch. Numbness has been pretty bad too. > > I asked a question in one of my emails earlier and I am still interested in knowing what it is... is allergic it appears to the rocephin they talked about observing her again and if she breaks out again..they said something about desensitising her...does anyone know what the jibbers that is?

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Hi Nick, I also would like a little info on the Mastoidectomy. My son will be having a tympanoplasty in a couple weeks but our ENT also mentioned the possiblity of a Mastoidectomy. At this point Im not sure I understand the need, if he doesnt think there is a C-toma present?....He did say that he may have to remove 1-2 of his hearing bones due to the fact that he has a severe retraction, and the ear drum has shrink-wrapped itself completely around them. After lifting the ear drum from the bones(which he said quite often tears), skin cells are left behind ,which of course could cause a C-toma to grow. Therefor, removal of these bones is necessary and would be reconstructed at a later surgery. Im just not sure I understand about the possiblity of a Mastoidectomy. ? Any info on this would be appreciated..Thank you.. Renonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Hi Lynn, thanks for the info on Mastoidectomy, that answered my previous question on the need for one, if C-toma is not present.(at least we are hoping that there isnt one.) Thanks!!!! sincerely, Renonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Hi all, I had another question I forgot to add in the previous post. My son has noticed that on occasion, his ear seems to be damp or wet. There doesnt seem to be a smell or pain associated with this but just wondered what it is? Hes scheduled for a Tympanoplasty in a few weeks..Any ideas? Thanks, Renonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Hi -- Question?? Hi Guys,Couple of things I wanted to clarify...1. What is the difference with wall up procedure and wall down???? I had a Mastoidectomy with Ossicular Chain Reconstruction all in one, does this relate to wall up and wall down????? Canal wall up means they leave the wall between the middle ear and the mastoid intact, and Canal Wall down they remove this wall, the spongy bone of the mastoid is ground down to a smooth texture, and you are left with a "bowl". CWD is usually accompanied by a "meatoplasty", where they enlarge the external ear canal, and create an opening along the canal in order to be able to view the middle ear with a special scope... this allows for cleanings. I think some people have their ear drum removed, but not all. You could have had your procedures with a canal wall up... You need to ask your surgeon what he/she did. Ask for your surgical report... 2. As I had both procedures together, is it usually better to have them seperately?? It is up to your surgeon depending on the extent of your c-toma disease, and how much damage and the likelyhood of reocurrence. Some surgeons advocate CWD over CWU, it all depends on the surgeon and the extent of disease. There are two types of CWD... Radical Mastoidectomy and Modified Radical Mastoidectomy... There is more removed during the Radical procedure. 3. Is Mastoidectomy and Ossicular Chain Reconstruction only carried out when a cholosteatoma is present, or can it be for other reasons as well... I think those two procedure can be performed in the absence of C-toma, but where there has been a lot of infection and damage from infection. Like in chronic otitis media. Some people get "mastoiditis", and need mastoidectomy's done, and don't necessarily have c-toma. Infections can also damage the ossicular chain, and again, it doesn't necesarily mean they have c-toma.... When I first noticed that my hearing was worse, my ent at the time said I had a "disrupted ossicular chain", and felt there was no treatment for it... she was "old school", and she did not investigate further the cause of this... I could have had c-toma at the time, but she didn't even consider that... So my reasoning is that c-toma isn't always the cause of ossicular chain disruption... Hope this helps Lynn ____________________________________________________ IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Hi Renonda Well you're not supposed to have liquid coming out of your ear. It usually does mean some kind of infection is going on it's usully more serious if it's copious, continuous and/or has been going on for a long time. Anyway it's good that your son will be getting his ear seen to soon. It could be useful to talk to the surgeon before then because they often like to treat any infection as far as is possible before the surgery. Some kinds of discharge are serious and some less so but always an edifying read. So out of general interest here's my brief guide to the various kinds of awful stuff that can come out ears:* A yellowish color almost always indicates an infectious process within either the external auditory canal or the middle ear. * White fluid typically indicates a fungal or dermatologic condition in the external auditory canal, although these conditions can cause yellow fluid as well. * Bloody discharge is usually associated with trauma but may signal chronic infection. * Clear mucoid fluid often originates from the middle ear and is discharged through either tympanostomy tubes or a chronic tympanic membrane perforation. This type of drainage is thought to be caused by allergic disorders, and in such cases an allergy history should be sought. * Fluid that is clear, thin, and watery should immediately alert the physician to a potential CSF leak. Occasionally, such as after trauma, discharge from the ear found on a pillowcase may show a bloody central area surrounded by a moist, clear halo, which indicates CSF mixed with blood. * Exposure to water can cause the discharge of purulent fluid through a tympanic membrane perforation. * Odour usually indicates destruction of bone in the middle ear or mastoid.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 Hi Phil, Thanks for the info, I didnt realize so many different things can leak from the ear....Yuck!!....Anyways, Im not sure about any of these, its only happened a few times, and its very slight. I'll be talking with the surgeon soon so we'll find out whats going on, if anything. Thanks again.. Take care, Renonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 RVAD is a measuring technique developed by Dr. Min Mehta, FCRS that will determine if the childs scolisos is progressive, or not. Any number above 20 is considered to be scoliosis of the progressive type. Anything below has the possibility of resolving. RVAD=Rib Vertebral Angle Degree. This measuring technique should be used by orthopaedic doctors for infants/young children affected by infantile (non-structural) scoliosis, to determine what the next step in the treatment process should be.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Regarding the fill, I have to say this is sooo different for every person. I had my surgery 8-21-04 and my first fill on 10-1-04. I had little to no restriction with the surgery and again little to no restriction with the 1.2 cc of fluid. I finally had my second fill on 12-17-04 and the doctor here in the US made sure I had 2 cc total. A lot of people kept telling me I was going to be over filled but I LOVED IT! I finally started losing weight and I am down 40 pounds total now. The right fill makes all the difference for sure. My friend also had the surgery but a while ago. She didn't even need a fill and was losing like crazy. Then, when Dr Aceves put 1.2 in her band, she couldn't even keep down water and had to have the fluid removed. She has .6 cc now and is very restricted. I guess it all depends on the person and sometimes you really have to play with it awhile until you get that perfect fill for you.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Some people have really low blood sugar in the morning and if they don't eat a little something before the workout they feel dizzy, weak, and queasy. It doesn't have to be a full-blown meal. It can be a tablespoon of peanut butter, or few bites of cottage cheese and a couple of dried apricots, or a shake, or half of a bar. Just a little something with both protein and carbs. Afterward, make sure your breakfast includes quality carbs with your protein. Post-workout is the best time to have calorie-dense carbs like bananas, bagels, bread, or oatmeal. After a challenging workout, it all goes for muscle recovery. If you're determined to do the empty stomach thing, make sure you're not also going to bed hungry. If you're doing morning workouts on an empty stomach, it's even more important to have a small protein and carb balanced meal near bedtime. Also, some people find that they have more energy and a higher workout intensity if they start the day with a little caffeine in the form of coffee or tea.
