Guest guest Posted March 14, 2000 Report Share Posted March 14, 2000 GOOD MORNING REGARDING " CHEST PAINS " AND PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS FIRST - ALWAYS BE CONCERNED ABOUT A HEART PROBLEM AND CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THAT IS NOT CARDIAC. PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS CAUSES INFLAMMATION IN THE JOINTS BETWEEN THE RIBS AND BREAST BONE (STERNUM). THERE IS INVOLVEMENT OF THE CARTILEDGE CALLED A " COSTOCHONDRITIS " THAT PRODUCES THE PAIN. HAVING HAD THE PROBLEM AND ALSO HAVING HAD A HEART PROBLEM, THE TWO CAN BE VERY CONFUSING AT TIMES. MAKE SURE AND GET ANY CHEST PAIN EVALUATED.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2000 Report Share Posted September 12, 2000 virtualgait@... Pmaher, Email Nieslen at virtualgait@... He will respond to you and send you out a video tape. I may not explain it well but the brace takes the weight of your body and pushes it back up to give you energy to help with balance, etc. Well, that sounds stupid!! I did not explain it well. We could not beleive what we saw on the videotape. The women had CMt and walked just liked . After she got the braces on, she started to run!!! Amazing. We are working on getting videotaped. Write me back if you have any questions. a mikerobertac@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2000 Report Share Posted October 22, 2000 Yeah, finally email!!! I thought my computer broke or the IS dept. at my work figured me out. Anyhow I love the pictures of the boys Judy the are too cute and Carolyn the video of Nicki was awesome. She is something else. Good news on the front. I was very concerned about her speech, and although she is still non-verbal we are making strides. She has been signing pretty consistently for the past week. Thanks for the advice Carolyn. I simply wouldn't give in to her grunting and she finally signs " more " when she wants something. IN fact last night at a family b-day party her aunt asked me what (and she did the more sign) meant. was asking her for more juice, and I wasn't even around to encourage the sign! HOORAY. Also, my husband likes to work one on one with her in front of the speech mirror and he was stacking toy cups that are all different colors. EMily was getting very frustrated with him and kept knocking the blocks down. He finally said fine you do it... So you proceeded to seperate the blocks by color and nest them into each other according to color. My husband wanted to test the accuracy so he started stacking them again and she knocked them down and again seperated them by color and stacked them. I had no clue she knew the difference between colors. She is such a stinker. When I am starting to feel her cognitive abilities are slipping she simply amazes me. Well gotta go, wants me to find his bike helmet RIGHT NOW!! Diane, Mom to ADam 8, and 4 PS - we went to the pumpkin patch today and took a roll of pics. I get them developed on-line now so I think I will be able to finally send a picture of the clan. Have a good week and keep the posts coming.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 RE: husbands and weight , my area supervisor said something to me that really hit home. he said that when your relly heavy (as he and I both are), its worse than trying to stop drinking because its like telling a drunk, hey you gotta stop drinking, but you still have to have a little sip a couple of times a day to stay alive! So you tell him that you are doing great and point out how hard it would have been for him to quit if he still had to sample every dat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Ann, This does sound like a set back to me. I went back to work a month after having my surgery. When I was off I did my exercises 3 times a day. Now that I'm back to work I can only do them once a day but I do walk at lunch. My PT told me it would take me longer to get back to " normal " and to expect setbacks. I would take it easy for a couple of days and then start building myself up again.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 Pargolf, To answer your question.. before the ACDF, he had severe chest pains running across his chest, numbness in his fingers, lack of strength on the same hand, and one leg that gave buckled on him when standing on it for more than 5 minutes. After surgery, (and he was home the day AFTER surgery) chest pains, gone, very very slight numbess left in his hand, although the arm is much stronger, and the leg no longer buckles. Or rather, what weakness remaining on the leg, is different - the leg was being affected by both the 2 cervical disks in the neck that were bad, and the 3+ in the lower lumbar, that we are not concentrating on.. The darn surgeon at Yale did such nice handiwork, coupled with using a lotion on the scar - you can't even tell there is one, and his ACDF was done 2/28. Other than finding it a slight bit harder to swallow food, there were no repercussions and drawbacks of having the surgery.. Hope that helps..

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Cabbie, you are at it again....if everyone quoted things that they believed in there wouldn't be room on this list for low dose naltrexone. There should be plenty other sites for you to bash Bush and his programs without using this list. It says this is a source of liberal commentary. He wrote this for Progressive Media Project, a source of liberal commentary on domestic and international issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
