I hope & KNOW you all will enjoy the movie, I really think it is so cool that they like to dress up for it !! how much fun that adds to the day. ENJOY........ LOVE & HUGS< GRANDMOMBEV results Eilish's Gp, who is a lovely guy, said he didn't think she had glandular fever. He check her ears and said she had a bad middle ear infection. The hsp. checked her ears on Tuesday night and said they were fine. HE asked what antibiotics we had at home seeing we always have a stockpile and said to start her on Cipro. but only half the does she takes for PA. Anyway she has been fine today. He said her temps. were due to the infection. IF only the hsp. had said that 3 days ago we could be on the recovery rd. So ive just been to the school pool/fitness complex and bought her ear plugs for swimming. She swims alot so that probably doesnt help her ears but is good for her lungs. She sees the ENT guy Tuesday so UI'll mention to him about all this. Thanks for listening all week. Were now off the see Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Liam has been reading the novel and frantically had to finish it last night before we went to see the movie today. He tells everyone " I know who opened the chamber of secrets " . We all love H.P and cant wait to see it. Liams going in his HP Robe with glasses and wand and Eilish is wearing a Gryffindor top.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Hey I took my kids the day it opened up here....it was a great movie, hope you guys enjoy it. I thought it might be more scary, though, because of the basalisk (I am sure my kids know how to spell it, but alas I did not...) Anyway, even Mallory was not afraid. The kids had all waited MONTHS to see it. My non-readers listen to the audio tapes, which, by the way, are terrific..the reader is one of the best I have heard. Even Mallory at 5 is riveted to the audiotapes, and is so enthralled that we can get alot out of him before handing over the next CD of whatever book he is listening to currently. take care, Jen > Eilish's Gp, who is a lovely guy, said he didn't think she had glandular > fever.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Dear , I'm so happy to find an update about Eilish, and I'm glad your doctor found the cause. We've had some screw ups with our emergency room doctors too... but reading Eilish's experience, I'm convinced that some people are very sensitive to what's going on in their bodies even before medical personnel can " see " it -- and also, I wonder if sometimes ear problems just take a while to fully manifest themselves. The summer I was 14-years old, I became very ill: severe left ear pain, dizziness, vomiting, fevers hovering around 99 F (I tried converting that to degrees centigrade for you but failed horribly. My kids and I have a normal temp of 97.6, so when any of us hit 99, we feel awful.) My mom took me to our GP but he couldn't find anything wrong; he said it was probably a virus. Later, she took me to the emergency room; same story, must be a virus. During a two-week time span I saw my GP twice, and went to the ER twice, and I lost over 15 pounds because I couldn't keep anything down. I remember those two weeks, just lying weak as a kitten on the living room rug watching the ceiling spin, crying hot tears that trickled down into my painful ear, and vomiting green bile whenever I ate or moved too quickly. Finally, on my third visit to the GP, he looked in my left ear again and this time said, " Ahhh, hah. " He told my mom there was a cyst growing on my ear drum. He told me to hold still, and he lanced the cyst then gave me a shot of penicillin in the rump; I fainted dead away to the floor. He sent me home with a prescription for more penicillin and I quickly got better. The doctor told my mom that of course they knew now that the cyst had brewing all this time but just wasn't yet big enough for anyone to see. And because my eardrum never looked inflammed no one suspected an infection. I'm wondering if something similar happened to Eilish -- her body was sensitive to the beginning of a middle ear infection, but it just hadn't turned her eardrum pink enough to confirm the diagnosis until she saw her GP. My ears and sinuses are still sensitive creatures. I have to take high doses (1,000 mg.) of guaifenesin starting about 3 days before I fly, and 3 days after flying to prevent sinus and ear infections. One time I'd sat up all night with dizziness, fever, and the feeling my ear drum was bulging down the canal. In the morning I went to my GP's office but he was out, so his associate saw me; that doctor wasn't familiar with my long history or ear problems. He took one look in my ear and I swear he was going to bolt straight for the door. I begged him to lance the ear drum before it ruptured. I figured a straight cut from a lance would heal better than the jagged tear of a rupture, but he wouldn't touch my eardrum. Anyway, I'm happy Eilish is doing better and will be able to enjoy the family Harry Potter outing today!

I had her in the doctors office on a monday and by Wed. night was screamming about her ear hurting. So I took her in to the hospital and got a really nice young Peditrician and she told me that one time she was putting her 2 year old to bed for a nap and before she put her to bed she checked her ears for infection and they were fine but by the time she woke up she had ear infection. I think it can happen really fast sometimes. Deb A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Just got mine through after teh last visit to endo FT4 18.7, T3 5.7 and TSH undetectable. My endo says not to increase from 11/2 grains. Since I upped to 2 the day after seeing him, felt ok for a couple of weeks and then crashed so badly I could hardly walk and think this week, knees fell like balloons, lower leg muscles really tight, so added another in to help me sleep last night kind of moot really but interested in thoughts, I'm also on 5 adrenals a day. My recent Ferritin and B12 were mid range this time Folate very low and other hormones crap so guessing I now need to concentrate on upping those rather than the thyroid.
