Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Sue, Just a series of feeling "different" . . . and an urge to get medical attention. I thought I'd check in with the emergency room, maybe get a prescription, and be ready to dance that day . . . we had a dance scheduled at 1:00, 3:00 and 7:00 ... They told me I wasn't going to dance that day as soon as I got there! Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 ,Are you taking any Primal Defense? . . . How much are you collecting from those drains today? Hopefully you can get them out - but don't push it if you're still draining a lot. Taking some pain meds might be what you need right now . . . You don't get any gold medals for toughing it out. If you're not "going" some Calcium/Magnesium may loosen things up so you can get going. . . Unfortunately, pain meds, and the other stuff they give you, can cause constipation. You might ask the doctor for a prescription antifungal to hit the stuff hard. Then start pushing the probiotics.Hugs and prayers,Rogene Rogene Thanks for the advice....Rogene I am just trying to get some comfort right now so I Can sleep tonight ....I've had probably 5 total hours a night because I am so miserable. My older son Bradley is cooking and giving me my meds and pampering me I am trying so hard to put a smile on my face for him. I am crying and feeling emotional again this is not good. My stomach is so uncomfortable. Love The year's hottest artists on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards. AOL Music takes you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Rogene, I am so glad you pay so good attention to everyone hear ........I dont know how you do it but you do such a great job at it. I have been taking the snot out of primal defense and eating my sauerkrat that I made in the fridge and seems to be making the tummy feel better. I dont think I ever used Caprilyic Acid except recently before surgery and started feeling better. I did a fungal defense a couple years ago but Never tried the natural way until one of the girls told me about it here. I have got my bottles ordered and I am ready to do it as soon as I heal up ......Right? Or do I do that now? Do I use it for 14 days without probiotics because I was using it with the probiotics before the surgery? I feel better when I load up on probiotics. Love In a message dated 2/16/2008 1:35:09 P.M.

If you feel your fungal issues are beyond what probiotics can handle, I'd stop probiotic supplements (keep eating probiotic foods) and use Caprylic Acid. . . Then go back to probiotic supplements. . . You may not need to stay with Caprylic Acid for a full course since you were in pretty good shape before antibiotics. . . You'll have to be the judge of that though. Dr. Feng may give you prescription for an antifungal that would let you skip Caprylic Acid if you ask her. I'm sure she knows what Cipro can do.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Rogene, Yes, I am trying to rest ..its not comfortable sitting in a recliner to sleep. I tried laying on the bed but it hurts too much. I have walked 1/2 the day today and the muscles spasm in my back is getting better too. I am trying deep breathes and coughing exercising like Carey said and that helped my lungs to stop hurting. Thank you for everything I feel so much better today......what a relief........... and the shakeyness in my stomach has gotten a lot better too since I am taking the snot out of primal defense.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Rogene, Dr Feng called me about 1/2 hour ago and I go in tomorrow morning and get the drains out. I was thinking about doing it on my own also. All I am getting in 8 hours time is 1cc. I called them all day to get the drains out. How long before i get my bandages off? I thought you may know.

Then give them a little tug and they're out. Put some pressure on the opening with a sterile dressing until it quits weeping and you're done.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Oh Jill, thank you so much for your concern,I'm so sorry you went through such a traumatic time when your mother passed away! . . . As difficult as a slow death is, at least family and friends have time to prepare. Something like your mother's death catches you so off guard and turns your life upside down.My mother passed away almost a year ago. She was 94. She's been praying to go for years. Her mind was good, but her body was worn out. ly, I felt relieved for her when she gave up her physical body for her Spiritual body. She was happy when she knew she was almost there. I miss her, but I didn't want her to live like that. I'm going to continue with Coumadin for the time being . . .. I've reduced my dose, and my headache is much better. If I think in terms of six months, I can handle it . . . I can't handle the idea of 'indefinitely'. Thankfully, I did have a number of warning signs before the PE . . . The one I should have paid attention to, I didn't was a leg that had been swelling abnormally for a couple weeks before the PE. I should have gotten attention then. And, I knew better than sit for hours - especially with my feet hanging down! . . . Subconsciously I knew something was wrong . . . I had some Coumadin from an earlier episode of atrial fibrillation that I started taking when we left on our trip - just in case! That may have saved me! I had deep vein thrombosis when I was only 17 and a few other minor clotting incidences since then. I hope to manage those risks with Vitamin E, CoQ10 and other herbals once I get off Coumadin. I had breast cancer a couple years ago . . . It was smaller than stage one . .. I had a simple lumpectomy, followed by Mammosite radiation therapy (highly recommended). . . They wanted me to take a drug that stops estrogen production completely. I felt horrible, mentally and physically on that. So I've elected to take my chances with a reoccurance rather that live on that drug. When the oncologist plugged in MY specifics, it turns out the drug reduced the chance of reoccurance by only 11% - while making me age rapidly! I recently learned that people who have Erythromelalgia (burning feet) are extremely sensitive to some meds . . . That makes sense of how I feel with most meds . . . I prefer to manage my health by diet and natural means . . . but I'll accept traditional medicine when it makes sense to do so.I'm so glad you found our little group . . . You sound just like one of us! . . . You care! . . . Just stick with us. We'll help you figure your situation out so you can start feeling better too!Hugs and prayers,Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
