It is becoming more of an issue as we are expecting next month. We went to babies r us tonight and they had a sleep positioner by a dr. plagio. the part were the baby's head lies was solid and was not memory foam at all.

Also, while we were out, a woman at the store said that the new recommendations are that a baby can sleep on his/her stomach or back from birth.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I was given a sample of the new positioner and am yet to use it, my son is a week old and we just got back from the hospital. I will let you know how it works. As for the sleeping thing, they are still telling us back to sleep at Kaiser, but like Jen said, keep us updated if you hear differently. I tend to put my son on his side (switching back and forth of course) when he's awake and supervised as a pre-caution this time.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hello All. My name is . I am a returning member to the group. I have had RA and Fibro for several years and was diagnosed this week with Lupus also, so I thought I'd rejoin the group and become educated on Lupus. Any info or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Suspect if you are eating out at all in UK You are outsalting the Spiro. Exactly what on your kidneys did they want to operate on? There are HTN EXPERTS in UK and I know many. Where do u live now? Try to get your team to do a 24 hr urine for Na K and creat or even a spot urine in the office. If there is not more K in urine than Na then Send numbers and I will eat ate ntake. May your pressure be low!CE Grim MS, MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertensionOn Jun 17, 2012, at 16:27, K <_Kabrna@...> wrote: For the last 2 years I have been helping my late wife during her battle with Bowel Cancer which she lost last July. Prior to that I had seen two different Endo's in the UK for the first time (I was Dx 1977 and currently on 100 mg Spiro and 15 mg Enalapril)and both suggested surgery on my kidneys. The last Endo in Burnley suggested I didn't have Conns at all, even though I have had a sub-total adrenalectomy in 1978 and that Spiro is the only drug that brings my BP back down after they did their failed Aldo / Renin Ration test 18 months ago. Recently however the tachycardia has kicked in after a long period of quiesence. Having been on these meds for so long, what might I expect? Is diabetes a possibility? Are other patients in a similar position offered kidney surgery? Is it worth it! Very difficult to maintain confidence in local physicians. Since my wife passed away I have been much more focused on eating foods with as little Na in as possible. Sorry for the long post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
