Guest guest Posted May 24, 2000 Report Share Posted May 24, 2000 My " doc " had handed me a copy of the report with the syrinx diagn. on it while I was heading out the door ... I had to turn around, go back in his office, and ask " what is this syringomyelia thing " ... we blew it off ... I have a little worm in my neck and he treats it like I have a zit that will go away ... Ugh ... I took him chocolate chip cookies (frosted sandwich ones ....) and he's a diabetic ... oops, my bad .. ================================ Syrinx/4 cm x 4 mm/Cervical Trauma Related Click here for pics & Info: <A HREF= " http://www.pressenter.com/~wacma/album10.htm " >http://www.pressenter.c om/~wacma/album10.htm</A> <A HREF= " http://hometown.aol.com/tgreen65/myhomepageprofile2000.html " >http://h ometown.aol.com/tgreen65/myhomepageprofile2000.html</A> ********* Some days I'm the Bird -- Some days I'm the Windshield ******** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2002 Report Share Posted April 27, 2002 Hello jude_trialwatchers@..., In reference to your comment: ð i didnt eat for three days just took 3400 mg of ð glucophage and my sug levels were still between ð 285-372.... Jude.... not eating can be just as bad for us as diabetics as eating... By not eating you are telling your liver that you are in starvation mode... and asking it to create glucose.... Try eating a serving of protein 3 - 5 x a day, and also taking your meds, and see where you levels are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2002 Report Share Posted April 27, 2002 hello jude i am not a dr but a quick temprary fix would be to use insulin until you do see the dr. t2's are frequently switched to insulin to help during major surgery or other stress times. another solution would be to contact glucophage manufracturers and ask for list of medications which might not react with glucophage though that would not address your own issues. in england the pharmacist are very helpful as well as the er in any hospital, but that is mainly because the medical system is state insured so they are more open to provide the necessary help. If i were in your situation i know the hospital would admit me try out the different drugs find the rt. cocktail then release me after making sure the medicines are not reacting then all future appt. would be closely monitored so as to catch future reactions quickly. regards cheeky > >Reply-To: diabetes_int >To: diabetes_int >Subject: hi >Date: Sat, 27 Apr 2002 02:40:28 -0000 > >i was taking lantus and doing really well for a while...then wham allergic >reaction hives the whole works within a few days! seems like anything that > works for me im allergic to....i've been taking glucophage for 4 or 5 >years and its not working for me anymore.....my current doc just had a >heart attack so i made an appt with a diabetes doc but, cant get an appt >till the end of june...im taking 3400 mg of glucophage.. does anyone know >of another drug that works well with glucophage? i have to do something >quick my readings average about 350 and im eating everything in site cant >help myself! anyone else have this problem....thanks i know this is >rambling.....any advice i would appreciate! thank you, jude > _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 I would guess that you have some kind of pelvic abnormality which could probably be fixed if you could endure the exam. You were told that your cervix was low and that is not normal. Perhaps you can get a Gyn to arrange for some kind of sedation or numbing before the exam so that he/she can identify the problem. Good luck. Ora > > Date: Sat Aug 24, 2002 6:05am > Subject: Hi > > Hi all, > > I don't even know if I'm in the right place.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 Your are definately in the right group. It sounds like you have to find a doctor that specialized in vulvar problems and/or vulvodynia. It is too bad that this is lasting so long. There is treatment. This is a great sight for information. Where do you live and maybe someone on this group can direct you to a doctor that can help? Thanks Shell B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
