Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 There is a Dr in Dallas who has a hyphenated name. I wouldnt bring my dog to her. She has been known to change people dx's if tx becomes too hard for her, such as insurance problems etc. Re: [ ] Doc visit > > Debbie, > Is this doctor a redhead? > I had a horrible experience with a supposedly LLMD in Dallas.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hello Debbie -- I was reading some of the email about a Dr here in Dallas. Its hard to believe she is the same Dr. i have been going to for the last 6 years. Thanks to her and her treatment my life is worth living. I could not find another Dr that knew anything about lyme or one that would treat me. I think the reason i recieved treatment is because my and Western Blot test came back accute lyme disease. I also had classic lyme symptoms. My friend also had a tick on his back with the round rash and she treated him for months. I was wondering if your test came back poss. for lyme? I think if people have the symptoms of lyme but it does not show up on the test they fall thru the cracks and have a very hard time getting treatment. I think the poss test or the tick and rash protect the dr. Have a great day. Debbie Dahl <gpages@...> wrote:<<Debbie - Im in Dallas Texas. I have a great Dr. here who has treated me for over 6 years.

I had a Igenex Western Blot test come back " borderline " ...and the 3 lyme NUMBERS that I was suppose to have to be " officially " considered having lyme in Texas only came out with ONE positive.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Carolyn, She was absolutely ruthless! i've never been treated by a doctor or any other professional like that before. She got snotty at one point, when she first started asking me questions. Somehow my brain confusion didn't answer her to her liking and she raised her voice at me. She tried to turn around something I had said because I didn't answer her question as direct as she wanted... Usually my mom helps me out when I have problems expressing myself. My mom sank down in her chair and didn't say anything until she was asked. After a few minutes time, she wanted me to get re-tested, then she wanted me to see a psychologist and get back to her! I agreed, and still agree because I have suffered a terrible trauma, HOWEVER i was SICK BEFORE THE trauma and they are not related as she thought! She didn't look at my " shingles " scars I had on my chest, and she said I was taking her her NEXT Patient's time! (i've never been told that before, especially since we had talked less than 20 minutes! Heck, in reality it was probably more like 10! Pitiful. If I have a regret, it's not tape recording the whole amazing event. It was traumatizing in itself! After spending over 500.00 dollars total on expenses for that trip (hotel, and gas) I didn't dare ask my folks for another couple of hundred dollars for another doctor. I started self-treatment (this is risky, but I started getting better, it's been about 5 months since that visit. I order my meds online. Thank God for the internet!) Oh, I could go on... but its such a horrible memory. christina on 8/25/05 9:59 PM, Carolyn Luken at dedee5858@... wrote: > Wow , Im shocked. I cant imagine feeling so bad and not getting > help.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hello All, I have had the same problems, when you complain of headaches, WhichI have many of. Migraines. Also, vomiting and nausea, weakness, pulling and drawing in my legs that keep in pain constantly. After the oplthalmogist, done the correct tests and determined Lyme disease.I't came back positive for the Immunoaborsan Assay (ELISA ?) and he also done an immunoblot that came back positve. And after being on doxy since Sept 2003, was able to work for 3 or 4 days per week and a total of 4 hours a day waiting tabels, after I first got on the doxy. There was an extreme amount ofimflammation in my eyes, and other doctors looked as well, so they would know it if they saw it. Dr. " Mike " , is very well educated and done his medical school, in the East (a very pretigious medical school) And also, worked in that area and had seen many, many case of Lyme. And then here comes the moron neurologist, thatinformed me " There is no Lyme in Tennessee " ,I should have ran then. He did blood test, (still of the doxy) and the ELISA stills come up positive The western Blot, was " not positive for one band he tested, and not all of the bands were tested). So therefore, I was diagnosedd with MS and he done a spinal tap, and determed, I was absolutely healthy. And he called my husband at work,and told him to tell Me I was crazy. He refused and told him to call and tell me. I asked him why did things happen when I went off the doxy, and he said that it was all in my head. I asked why I lost my vision after going off the doxy for less than 7 days and he told me that it was " All inmy head and that the small town hick doctor had no idea how to read the lab results. That an opthalmolgist was not a " specialist " , but he was. I did no see an optometrist, (The ones that check you for your glasses.) Dr. " Mike " is a specialist, so then his answer was, he treated me for something I did NOT have, have NEVER had, nor do I have lyme now. There are idiot doctors out there all the time. I saw an infectious disease specialist, that I know for a fact had seen two lyme patients, because on was his nurses' uncle, the other my docs receptionist husband. so he bold faced lied to me. So honey, you are not alone. Doctors that do not know about lyme, or just do not want to treat it, comes up with something else. So I have signed up for a psychiatrist. And was told to turn this doctor in to TennCare. I no longer have pharmacy benefits, and my medication come up to almost 2000.00 a month. That is over half, of what my husband make. So she (the doctor) has filled out the papers for me to try to qualify for the Patient precription Assistance programs, that will still takes months to get. By then, I may be gone. Any, what I mean to say is do NOT take this idiot personally. I know it is hard, to do, but I have recently made an appointment with a psychiatrist, because all of this has made me depressed. I hope she has lots of samples for me. God bless you and please try not to think of what that idiot says, I think we all have been in this case. Itis all in yourhead is what i have been getting told since 2001. Just my input. May God Bless you and the angels hold your hands.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 MRI does not always show Lyme problems. Recomend a SPECT scan. If you want more info e-mail me privatly. Love & Magic Barbwire Just back from the " new " doctor, this one is a MD. He pulled about 8 tubes of blood for testing. I asked if this was for the QRIBb test - he had not heard of that one, so I told him about it! First he's checking for Lyme titers, Rocky Mt. Spotted Fever, and Ehrlichia. Using the Western Blot and ELISA. If nothing shows up on that, I'm pushing for the QRIBb, even if it's out-of- pocket expense. Also doing a Sed Rate test. > > Got half way home and wondered why they weren't testing for Babesiosis as well - called them back. Have not heard from the lab tech on that one. > > Also scheduled for another MRI next week . . . SO GLAD that this doctor is taking things seriously! I mentioned some of the other people that I've dealt with and he groaned when I mentioned the neurologist's name. Going to give me a neuro consult too. > > Consult . . . MRI . . . and blood tests . . . I think I'm going to like this doctor much better! If he keeps showing this level of care, maybe he'll be a LLMD . . . time will tell. I know that there are no LLMDs listed with the " foundation " for referrals in Oklahoma or Arkansas.

Thank you all for your input and help! , I'm so glad you are with a doctor you trust. That will go a long way in helping you cope. Yes, it's normal for the labs to go up and down and for that matter. We all hope that little Ana has what is called Transient Hypgogam of Infancy. If so, she can outgrow it around age 2 or 3 when her immune system catches up. Giving her support IVIG in the meantime sounds like a good idea to get her healthy. About labs jumping around. The way I understand it is the IgM is a precursor to IgA and IgG. What that means is that IgM is manufactured by the body and then it becomes either IgA or IgG whichever it is in the mood for!!!! So, a look at all 3 tells you more information than looking at any one at a given time. I would think the subclasses could fluctuate for the same reason -- but I don't know. Having low IgE is actually great. IgE is the only one that you want to be as low as possible! The higher it is, the greater the possibility for allergic reactions to become a problem. Now, a person with low IgE can still have a reaction -- but it's usually not as big a deal. Katy had practically no IgE and was constantly having skin reactions -- but not ongoing allergy problems with breathing difficulties, etc. She still reacted to certain antibiotics though -- which a vengence! But it's usually a " good " result. In His service, Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 , I am so sorry to her about the FTT diagnosis..but glad to hear you are getting somewhere with this! Did they happen to say how her IgM or IgA was? I have a wonderful " wet wrap " regement for eczema that I can send you if it gets to the point you think you need it. The kids absolutely hate it at first but it works beautifully. Reagon's eczema was and still can be very severe at times. The summers are harder on her. I wish you could see pictures of Reagon at 6 months old versus now. It would show you things do get better! She was so pitaful looking as an infant...she got so malnourished that she was skin and bones, her eyes and ears looked huge, her skin looked horrible from all the rashes and all her hair fell out! I think because I was around her every day I didn't notice it as much, but I look back at pictures now and want to cry. She finally got hair back in at around 2 years of age. Now, other than her small stature she looks like a perfectly healthy 4 year old. I'd see the either a GI dr. or an allergist so you can ask them about the Neocate. Hang in there! Becki Doc visit Well, the immunologist called this morning and got Ana in today instead of tomorrow at their other location. Amazing what happens when you call every day to see if there are cancelations! Anyway, It was the new doc (the old one left to stay home with her kids) and I loved her! But I was again overwhelmed and confused. For now they are putting Ana on Bactrum (sp?) daily. They are still waiting for bloodwork back, but they think that pending that, she will be a candidate for IV therapy. Scary..but good I think?? So, her previous blood work had showed low overall IgG, sub 1,3,4. Now her overall is on the low side of normal, her 1,3,4 are normal and her sub 2 has dropped very low. She also was completely without IgE three months ago, they just forgot to tell me that. So they want to recheck the IgE and also redo the CF test. She was officially labeled FTT, which you all were right, broke my heart. She also has mild eczyma, not a surprise. I am so confused by the changes in labs, is it normal for them to bounce up and down? They did not feel at this point it was needed to start going to a GI doc, but I think I will try to get an appointment with Dr. Khan, just to get another opinion on whether there is anything he can do to help with her problems.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Which makes me think: 1. My husband had measles and it was really no big deal for him. From what I read, complications are rare. Is that correct? [] from what I have read yes.. especially if you use common sense and treat at home. When my mom was kids, measles was a no biggie. 2. Rubella is not common in the US (In fact, I haven't heard of anyone in PA contracting it other than Amish and even that not often). What is the likelihood of a pregnant woman actually contracting it? (I also figure by the time my daughter is of child-bearing age, she can research herself and decide whether or not she wants to be vaccinated).[] not sure but check more 1. They don't really know what causes cervical cancer, correct? One of the things they think it's linked to is certain strains of HPV but there are definitely other factors.[] AFAIK, true. I've been reading that it's not as big a deal as the vaccine makers want you to think about 2. Gardisal ( I am sure I'm spelling it wrong), if it works as is should, only protects you from a few strains of HPV. So isn't it false marketing by saying it can prevent cervical cancer?[] yep. All these women, if they survive the shot, will be told that fact when they get it and it's not one of the covered strains. A lot of women are going to be in for a shock, if they are getting it thinking it will make them never have to face that. the cure is worse than the bite, in this case.

Even if caught during pregnancy (even more rare), there is question about whether or not it will really harm the fetus.

One of the things they think it's linked to is certain strains of HPV but there are definitely other factors. I believe they have known for decades that HPV does NOT cause cervical cancer and is not really linked at all. I could be wrong but that was my understanding. > > 2.

Because supposing that HPV DID cause cervical cancer, it prevents only against three most " common " strains, but there are many, maybe hundreds.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 When dealing with medical propaganda we must separate the facts from the fiction, or statements of assumption. Fact women get cervical cancer. Fiction the cause of cervical cancer is different from cancer of any other part of the body. Cancer is cancer, a normal cell gone haywire. The cause is the same for cancer in one part of the body as it is for another part of the body. Fiction(in my opinion an outright lie) a virus causes this cancer. Since viruses can only be seen under an electron microscope which was magnified 100,000 times and is just a shadow of whatever diseased part of a body, human or animal and has and can not be isolated it is just a scam by the vaccine maker to sell products to make money no matter how many kids they kill.

The doc accepted the fact that we won't vaccinate anymore without any problems. The only think he said is I should keep Maia away from measles since there are a lot going around and has much more complications than chicken pox. He recommended I do chicken pox parties for both my kids before they get too old. He also wants me to think about rubella vaccine when she gets to child-bearing age. Which makes me think: 1.

My doc didn't know anything about the blood test for TB but he said he definitely would like me to send him more information which is encouraging. I have a separate question.

There was a woman who had said she had given her daughter the shot because she wished she had the same option when she was younger. She had gone through pre-cancerous cell on her cervix.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Great that the dr isn't twisting your arm. Measles is no big deal. Don't worry about it. Good diet with plenty of raw fruit and veg and if she gets it, it seems to prime the immune system. Complications are seen in those who are Vit A & C deficient. If children are deficient in these two, there are bound to be other deficiencies too. Rubella - there may be more pressure as she gets older, because of the risk of congenital rubella syndrome. The thing is they say vaccination reduced this to just about zilch. Not so - any pregnant woman who comes into contact with rubella is coerced into an abortion. No stats on how many healthy babies have been aborted through such fear-mongering. So abortion has reduced the number of babies with the condition, rather than the vaccination. Someone please correct me if necessary - I believe I have read that the detrimental effects of rubella on the foetus are also due to Vitamin A deficiency. So that's easily fixed too - from food, not supplements, during pregnancy. Gardasil is touted as " protecting " against 4 of over a hundred strains. These 4 are supposed to cause 70% of cervical cancers. I have to say that environmental poisoning , vaccines, food supply - pesticides and food tech chems etc are a far more likely cause of cancer. See if you can get Fear of the Invisible from the library. It will allay your fears of these diseases. They have no way of knowing this as cervical cancer might be a problem for some of these girls in 20 to 30 years. No vax has ever had pre-market testing for this long. HPV is cleared from most people within 6mths to 3 yrs. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I agree 100% measles is not the big deal they are making it out to be. If anything I would be looking for them the same way one does when they take their kid to a chickenpox party. Since rubella is a very mild disease for anyone other than those who are expecting children I would actually seek out and get your daughter life long immunity to this illness.

Discuss all of this in detail in my childhood diseases classes for all the diseases NO vaccine gives immunity ever, so you have no choice really And just because exposure to rubella or even having rubella in pregnancy does not mean fetal harm It may still be common but just not diagnosed as rubella because they think - 'had the vaccine, can't be rubella, we'll call it something else' >My doc didn't know anything about the blood test for TB but he said >he definitely would like me to send him more information which is encouraging.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Not only is mass media serving up a lot of hooey with their " HPV Vaccine prevents cervical cancer " nonsense, but they are also lying about it's safety and efficacy. Even one of the scientists who helped develop the vaccine stated, in a mainstream news interview (I am looking for the link, I know I have it somewhere), that the vaccine was rushed to market way too fast and that the studies on the vaccine were so short there's really no way to know if it is truly safe OR effective. She even stated that she would never let her daughter receive the vaccine at present time. That is the scientist's opinion, not mine. I know a vaccine is NEVER safe, and none of them are effective. They don't work the way they are touted to. I wouldn't wish any vaccine on my worst enemy.... well, except for Offit. Since he seems to think children can receive 100,000 vaccines in one day and be totally safe, we should use him as the test subject on his own theory... after adjusting the vaccine dosage to his body weight in order to mimic the load an infant receives.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I think I feel bad for the woman on fb who thought if she had this shot years ago then she wouldn't have to go through cervical cancer. Also I feel bad for her daughters who have no choice but to get the shot. > > Not only is mass media serving up a lot of hooey with their " HPV > Vaccine prevents cervical cancer " nonsense, but they are also lying > about it's safety and efficacy.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Yes, it's very sad that our society has the attitude that everything can be fixed with a pill or prevented with a vaccine... they place no merit on one's diet, and diet is EVERYTHING. Without a good diet you can NEVER have good health. A pill never fixed anything, only masks it, and a vaccine never prevents anything, only gives a false sense of security.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I don't know anyone who has had measles. Where are these rampant cases?? See here for much info on Gardisal/HPV: (http://www.nvic.org/Vaccines-and-Diseases/hpv.aspx) Nice that your doc has an open mind about this though.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I think rampant means the three in Berks County in PA. That doesn't count the ones who get it from the vaccine because they are just showing symptoms similar to measles, they don't really have it (at least that's what their docs tell them). > > I don't know anyone who has had measles.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Haha, oh yes, those three. Good reason to vaccinate millions for decades, eh?

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hi Tawny: Glad to read your post today, and that your dr. appt. went well. I am glad she changed your B.P. meds, and that you are starting to take an antidepressant. Also good she is checking out your leg, and taking more blood work. At least it is a positive start for you. I hope these changes start to make you feel better. When do you see her again? Lots of nice rain here everyday as we needed it so badly. I love rainy days, but wish we had fog here. I miss that about Cape Cod. I am still doing good, watching t.v. and reading. Yesterday I vac. my bedroom and that went fine. I am glad to be back doing things in my house. I hope you have a good weekend, and start feeling better. Wishing you pain free days. Take care of yourself, and rest when you can. Love and hugs, Barbara > > Hi everyone, > > I went to my primary doctor today. It went alright, I was a little annoyed with her,she was behind, and kept hurrying me. I had to get more lab work, not sure what all she is checking for. I told her, I get dizzy and feel disoriented for a short time. I know she is checking for anemia. She said it could be some of my meds too. > She took me off both my blood pressure meds, and put me on another one, called, " Benicar HCT. " It was causing edema, so I hope the new med works out for me. I also started cymbalta today. It helps with depression,anxiety,neuropathy pain, and fibro pain. I have all four, so hope it works. She is scheduling a ultrasound for my leg, to make sure I don't have a blood clot. I go back in two weeks. > I hope everyone has a pain free weekend, > > Tawny > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
