Because that is what happens to me, when I exceed my pain threshold I get really sick!" I get nausea too. If the pain is really bad, I end up being breathless too, sometimes so bad they gave me oxygen. It happened once too in the op theatre, where they were giving me a nerve block, the pain was so bad that I was sitting up and gasping for breath. They called it hyperventilating, I think. The body is not really lack of oxygen, but sometimes the pain can get quite bad it makes people sick. Ling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2000 Report Share Posted July 26, 2000 Ling, It is very common for people to become nauseated and ill because of the pain. And when pain is really bad being breathless - gasping for air is common. Know that you are not alone in these reactions and that it is something you can expect and deal with. Knowing that does make it easier. Honest! Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body is not really lack of oxygen, but sometimes the pain can get quite bad it makes people sick. Ling Well, in my case it is NOT hyperventilating because my oxygen saturation levels drop! But yes, when you hyperventilate you are depriving your tissues of oxygen. Hyperventilation causes you to have high carbon dioxide levels in your blood because you are not allowing the exchange of gases to take place due to the speed of your breathing. Does that make sense? Suffering from Brain Rot.. or allergies, or both! Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 Pain question > Do your kids get pain in the arms while the IVIG infusion is running? >> Is the site swollen or red? Could the medication possibly infiltrated into the arm? That happened to Cassie but it infiltrated into the chest wall. It was very painful and tylenol w/codeine helped with the pain. Hope he is feeling better soon.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 The only time Sam has experienced pain during the infusion is when the solution was too cold and when the IV slipped and was pumping the med outside of the vein. I know that when the IV slipped after my C-Section with Christi, it was very painful. The pain actually lasted off and on for a couple of months (ironic, considering the med was demerol) Hope it doesn't turn into a pattern.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Same here. I scheduled RHR for May 25th to give me time to get my life organized, and right hip and knee have now gotten much worse. Had to go from cane to crutches. Wondering now if I can make it to May 25th. ben f. Pain Question Is it just me or have any of you experienced this? When I made the decision to go forward and having a THR, my pain has gone off the board. It is hard to believe that my arthritis and my condition has gotten that much worse in the past couple of months and was wondering how much of this is in my head. Do you think that your mind works like a pain med for years and when you wise up, it lets you know what the real story is?Just curious as to what your experience has been.Take care and have a great day.Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 , It's funny but now that you say it, the same thing happened to me. I had been strugling with my pain for years but once I decided to have the surgery it got worse. I think in my mnd I had finaly " given up " and deciding to have the surgery I finaly realized how bad my joints were. Good luck, things will get better. > Is it just me or have any of you experienced this? When I made the > decision to go forward and having a THR, my pain has gone off the > board.

I used to go in there telling him I had this sx and that sx and then I'd read the report he wrote saying how wonderfully well I was and I wondered who in the world was he talkin about. Its also a protection of your record. DO IT DEFINITELY........ My doc appreciates it. and it has ended up helping me in the long run dealing with the Comp aspect of it. Write it down type it out, keep a copy for yourself. You never know when you need it. These docs see many pts per day do their reports at the end of the day, this way he has no excuse for confusing your sx. with another pt. Which happened to me several times before I got into the walking in with a documented paper of my sx. It protects you.and yes you can't always remember how bad that pain was when you are sitting in the doc's office.....so write it, document it. keep a copy for yourself. We live in a fast moving world of reality and you can't expect a guy who has seen 40- 50 pts in one day to remember exactly what you said........Great idea. I always do it and it has served me well so far. Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Hi Jill, I don't know if this will help but until you see Dr.O'Brien, might I suggest that you contact you local Orthopedist (if you have one available) or even your family docotr and explain the situation. Ask him/her if they'd be willing to prescribe a short course of an opoid (narcotic) to keep your pain controlled until you can see the other guy. If you don't have a personal physician available, goto your local ER. Most hospitals are bound by the " Patient's Pain Care Bill of Rights " meaning they are obligated to treat you with dignity...not just as a " drug seeker " . If your local ER is not familiar with the Pain Care Bill of Rights, refer them to The American Pain Foundation at www.painfoundation.org !

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Have any of you ever had problems balancing your bodies energy from mold? I get this tightness on one side, the rest other is okay. It does travels to the opposite. Is it related to EMF sensitivity? I went to a Chinese MD who balanced it with an EAV & have to go back. They test & treat with it. It's the only thing I have found that works. http://www.preventionandhealing.com/articles/Acupuncture_Meridian_Assessment_New\ _Medicine_Based_on_Ancient_Principles.pdf Thanks, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Yes! I go to a Jin Shin therapist who balances my energy. It helps alot! My energy is all over the place. My left side is bad mostly but sometimes it's the right side that gets a kind of carpal tunnel nerve pain all the way up to my ear and then I can't really hear (which by the way is my go-to sign that there is mold in a car-bad right side energy). Look up Jin Shin-it's amazing stuff. > > > Have any of you ever had problems balancing your bodies energy from mold? I get this tightness on one side, the rest other is okay.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Thank you. Sorry to say, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'll read about Jin Shin. I'm miserable. Got a bad spasm, that up my neck to the top of my head & get dizzy, vertigo. Got to get some help to release it. Kathy From: surellabaer <surellabaer@...> Subject: [] Re: Pain question Yes!
