Guest guest Posted March 3, 2000 Report Share Posted March 3, 2000 Hi, >My dr recommended yesterday bone density measuring to me in spite I >am too young for this dg. (his words). I was just 40 when I got a scan that showed low bone density. Started with a slight build, and a family history of osteoporosis; then on top no exercise to build bone density.. But even so, the insurance co didn't want to pay. Eventually did (they were in their " be nice and maybe he won't sue us for everything else " phase at the time I think - anyway stopped being 'nice' [strictly a relative term] after that) ------------ re: O2 sources >(I don't know what she looked under in the yellow pages, but may have >been " industrial " O2) and found that you can buy " aviator's O2 " without >a script and they told her its the exact same thing as medical O2, and >LOTS cheaper to boot. She's renting a huge tank (said it was about 5ft >tall, >she had to have her dad come over to help get it in her house). I think >that huge tank rents for about $10 or $20/month (my little medical O2 >tank rents for $75/month) and refills are about $35 (refills on my little >tank are $14 Welding supply cos are usually a good source, and cheapest if they have the good grade. One thing about renting tanks = some companies have a peculiar policy where they charge $X per week the tank, BUT if you sell it to somebody else (wife or hubby for instance), that person can get the whole amount back when turning them in (since they haven't run a week yet). Also - IMPORTANT - if you get large tanks, get some kind of safety tie-down or tip-proof base. If one of those tanks tips over and knocks the valve off, it becomes an unguided missile that will go through walls (plural) before stopping - also gives a small explosion effect (blows windows etc) from the pressure surge. One kind is a webbing clamp that you attach to a wall - needs to be mounted securely to a wall, & not a piece of furniture. Another is a special base that the tank can set in, which is wide and heavy enough to prevent tipping. Both should be available from whoever supplies the gas.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2000 Report Share Posted March 14, 2000 I loved your idea of sharing recipes, . I am encouraging my 16 year old son to follow the diet too, with a little bread included at supper time, and am finding it hard to keep him wanting to stay on the program. I will be finished the Zithromycin today for the ear, throat and gland infection and I feel the best that I have felt in years. I'm so afraid this will end within a few days when the Zithromycin gradually disappears from my system. I still have some pain in my individual joints. I don't mean that. I am talking of just 'feeling well'. You all probably know what I'm talking about. I haven't felt well for so long that I had about given up the hope that I would ever feel this good again. So what is going on? Could there have been an underlying illness all along? I don't think it would be cured so easily in just one week of medicine. Could this antibiotic be reacting with the doxy? Also last week I didn't have my usual metholtrexate shot. Could this be a factor too? Sus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2000 Report Share Posted March 14, 2000 Hi Sus, Dr. Franco prescribed Zithromax for me, in addition to the Minocin. In some cases, he will use Zithromax tablets instead of the Clindamycin IVs, which are recommended for this therapy. I take 250mg of Zithromax, twice a day on Tuesdays and Saturdays. I take the Minocin, 100mg twice a day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. This routine has worked very well for me for the past two years. take care, Connie > From: " Sus " <msmartin2@...> > > > I will be finished the Zithromycin today for the ear, throat and gland > infection and I feel the best that I have felt in years.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2000 Report Share Posted March 14, 2000 Hi Sus, Why not continue on the azithromycin if you felt benefit? Sounds like it was getting rid of something you don't need. Perhaps if you explain how you've felt to your doctor, he will prescribe it again?

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Dear , God Bless you for all that you have been going through. " Did you ever try to be face down in a car. " That is a loaded question and I just had to laugh! You are still in our prayers! Get well keep us posted. But rest those eyes! We are not going anywhere and will still be here when you get well. Stop drinking that soda pop! Gas bubble? Did you ever wonder how you got it??? hee! Just kidding you!~Besides doesn't it have much sodium (pressure). Love Jeanetta Well you wrote: Bernard <leslieiowan@...> wrote: Jeanetta I had my eye surgery on Monday Aug 9th. All went well with the surgery. My eye was not cooperating like it should have. It bleed alot on the white of my eye. I rode 60miles to have the surgery and 60 miles back home. The eye pressure was up and I had to have diamox pills to get it down. On the way home we stopped to eat lunch. My diet coke was horrible and I remembered some talk on how some pills effected the carbonation of pop. Boy were they right. Every thing went okay on mon and Tues had to go back to SA for checkup. Another 120miles. Did you ever try to be face down in a car. Just doesnot work. Wed had dr appt here in Kerrville. That day everything was bad. Eye pressure way up and some of the gas bubble had gotten into the front of the eye. He had to drain the eye and give me more Diamox. Pressure went down. Back to face down for the rest of the time. Had to see dr for the next three days. I still have the gas bubble in my eye and can not tell if things are okay yet. Can not see well out the that eye and what I do see is double. Will have to go back to work on monday and see the Dr next friday. I want to thank every one for praying for me. I sure missed not being able to read my e-mail and talk to everyone. Hopefully when the gas bubble is gone I will be able to see like before. Congrulations to everyone who took and passed the test. Will let everyone know how my eye gets. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Grandiflorum is soft and sweet, and smells best at dawn throughout the early morning, which is when it is harvested for processing. Sambac smells best at night, after 11 PM or so, and that is when it is harvested. You can visit 's site http://whitelotusaromatics.com for more info on jasmine harvesting. Anya, 's writings on the subject are wonderful. But I am puzzled about one thing. I have a jasmine sambac and a jasmine grandiflorum and I've noted that the latter becomes more fragrant in the evenings, particularly sultry evenings. Not only more fragrant, but more 'alive', as if the flowers fill out and come awake at night (like Datura). Also I find the fragrance 'intoxicating', whereas the sambac is less exotic, and more reminescent (to me) of daylight, less 'mysterious'. This is exactly the opposite I recall of what (and others) have observed. Curious. Dorian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Hi , I was hit with the autism bomb at age 18 months, became nonverbal, and was diagnosed with strong autistic tendencies, atypical development, and psychotic at age 2 and a half in 1964. Refusing a recommendation for institutionalization my parents applied what we now call early intervention until age 4 when I began to learn how to speak again. In today's terms their IE could be called a home-based early intervention emphasizing music, movement, sensory integration, narration, and imitation. It's hard to determine if biomedical intervention would have helped at that time because it did not exist. The autism spectrum is broad and deep ranging from more severe situations (often referred to as low functioning) where we have people who are nonverbal to what we call high functioning or Aspergers with IQs in the genious plus range. However, we must be careful even with the terms low and high functioning. There are people who are nonverbal but communicate more eloquently then I could ever hope to via other means and others who may have rediculously high IQ scores, are better at verbal communication then most people, but somehow, are so challenged by social interaction that it is clear that won't be able to work in a standard office environment. In a message dated 9/9/05 13:09:35, EOHarm writes: Hi , Reading your post it struck me that you don't seem to have autism. Or rather I would never had known it from your post. My grandson (age 9) regressed (lost acquired verbal and social skills, and behavior became autistic) into autism after his last round of shots (age 23 months) that contained mercury. He has moderate to severe autism, is nonverbal except for severe verbal stimming and echolaia, and a limited single word vocabulary. Socially and academically he is low functioning and I fear for his future. There is no doubt in my mind that he is mercury poisoned as are thousands of others. C.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 I think for some of us a nervous breakdown is putting it mildly. We have a friend who was tested for a number of diseases including ALS and MS because of his severe symptoms. Over the months he was getting progressively worse until he luckily found a doctor who took him off of lipitor. You know the rest of the story......he is slowly improving and it will take a long time but hopefully he will recover totally. But this is someone who along with his family were preparing for the worse and needless to said close to really losing it.........as someone who has been down that road I think we can all relate to nervous breakdown when our bodies suddenly turn against us and we can no longer do what we used to.........then add the memory problems and we really fall apart. At one time I thought I was developing alzhemiers(sp) and was afraid to tell my family. Happy Thanksgiving to all and may we find the energy to keep fighting these statins!!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 -Do not feel lonesome. I was so messed up on lipitor. I hurt so bad everywhere and could barely move. I became afraid of people and was seeing a shrink. I was even affraid to go there. It got so bad I was even affraid to see my own family. I got to where I did not really even want a family. I could not read. I could not type. No memory short or long. I even forgot how to play guitar. After being off for several mths. I started to remember songs a little at a time. I still feel very strange and wonder about things alot. I only started to be able to type again about 4 mts ago. Only thing that helped me so far is CO-Q10 and Carnitine. I still have so much pain in my arms that if I strain even a little it feels like my arm were torn off. Nervous breakdown I am there just not as bad. I consider myself semi- retarded. I was completly retarded. I took it for 2 years. been off now for 15 mts. I question if I will ever be ok again. Part of my nightmare. Oh no one would even consider lipitor as a prob. And now no MDs will acknowledge my syptoms to be rare but serious. I have to fake fibromyalgia just to get treatment for the pain and numbness and twitching. Unfortunetly a nervous breakdown is a Satin drug side effect. in MO -- In Lipitor , clowing990@... wrote: > > I think for some of us a nervous breakdown is putting it mildly.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 On top of the classic muscle pain and memory lapses, I developed what looked like a classic Parkinson's tremor in my left hand. Also, afraid to say anything about it--fortunately, that was shortly before I heard enough about statin side-effects to get off the Mevacor, and the tremor totally disappeared pretty quickly.
