Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I don't know of a pill in the states that Dr.'s use for low T. Over 16 yrs. ago when I first started TRT for low t the only med they has was pills that women used. Thank God I was only on them for 2 months. I found out later that they are no good for the liver. There is a new pill for Low T out in the UK but from what I hear it is not doing to good plus they have a shot that you only need to get every 4 months and this is not doing the job. You need to get a new blood test and if your levels are not coming up try AndorGel or Testim gel. If you skin does not absourb the gel try shots every week start at 100 mgs. Your E2 Estradiol could be high and this is what is doing in you sex life. Get these tests done.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 , I think you'd better not use the helmet anymore. The only way that 's head could regress would be if it's growing fairly quickly, and if it's doing that, then it is also outgrowing the helmet. A too-small helmet will certainly cause problems---maybe worse than just brachy or plagio, because it will prevent brain growth. I do have one idea. What kind of bed is sleeping in? Is she still in a crib? Those mattresses are pretty hard, and she is well past the age where there is a SIDS risk. Maybe you can get her a softer mattress or, even better I think, a pillow. The reason I say that might be better is that of course a too-soft mattress won't be good for her developing body. Just make sure the pillow is not too big. > > > > Okay, on Monday night, after one week out of her helmet that she wore for six months, I noticed that 's head is looking a little flatter than it was when she got it off. She does still sleep on her back quite often (most of the time). My partner also said that she saw what could maybe be a little asymmetry. Is this possible for a toddler her age (approaching 21 months). Could I be imagining things? > > > > I decided not to take any chances so she wore it to bed last night and again tonight. I debated leaving it on her all day, but decided against it. I just don't want 6 months to be for nothing. > > > > Will this do any good if the helmet is only good for six months? I'm thinking that it'll at least keep the pressure off of the back of the head, but I'm not sure how well it does that after 6 months. > > > > I'm also thinking about calling our ortho, but I'm a little embarrased that I may be imagining things. The thing is that I'd been working on pulling together her before and after pictures and took lots of pictures to try and get the right view so I feel like I really knew what her head looked like. Now, it looks a little flatter. She still had a flat spot, but the area of the spot now looks like it has gotten larger. And, her hair isn't covering it  up the way it was last week. > > > Part of me wants to call up the CT in VA and beg then to put her in another helmet - not necessarily for more correction (although it would be a plus if it occurred), but so that she won't regress. I guess I'm kind of overreacting, but I am freaking out a little bit. I don't want to go back to her flat head. Any ideas would be appreciated. > > > > , mom to , 20.5 months > > STARband grad (05/11/09) > > land > > > > > > > > Lilypie Baby Ticker Lilypie Baby Ticker Lilypie Baby Ticker > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
