Also on antibiotic treatment...been there, done that...against my DRs wishes and all I got for my trouble for taking mynocyline for about year was a very nasty yeast infection and an upset stomach. Never helped the PA at all. When I mentioned the http://www.roadback.org to quote my rheumy " They're a bunch of quacks. " She's very nice and I was very surprised she was that dogmatic about it. Heck...she thinks the fact I do scifi conventions in costume is " cool. " She tried that therapy on many patients with PA and RA over the last five years and so no improvement with any or them. Just started on Ebrel...oh man! Huge difference!!!! My knees don't hurt and my thumb and shoulder stopped hurting. :-D Smile, Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 I have taken synthroid for 13 years. My doctor has never hesitated to try medications for PA on top of that medication. I currently take Vioxx, but have also taken prednisone with good results. Ks Di [ ] Question... > I recently went to my PCP for my lab results visit. She informed my that I > have hypothyroidism.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 I can't imagine why your doc recommended that. I've been taking LevoThryroxine for hypothyroidism for at least 10 years. I have also taken many pain meds in the NSAID area, VIOOX, naproxine, etc. with no thryoid problems. I've also had narcotic pain meds when my flares get into gear....So, not being an MD or DO, but one who reads lots of things about my conditions, I can not think of any reason she would be so hysterical about synthroid and nsaids....Sylvia CND110370@... wrote:I recently went to my PCP for my lab results visit.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Janet, , Ks Di, Sylvia, et al, Please be sure to use the link I sent about Synthroid or go to Synthroid.com and read the <A HREF= " http://synthroid.com/SYNTHROID_PI.pdf " >prescribing information</A>. There is lots of info that I feel is important for anyone taking Synthroid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Really? I take a handfull of medication each morning, including synthroid. Why is it to be taken alone? Ks Di Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 How many of you, when going through the diagnostic testing, or years of suspicions, etc… have come to discover that your spouse, or yourself may have Aspergers Syndrome also? Did any of you go on to do formal testing for yourselves or a spouse as the result of helping your children? =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 once i figured out that my daughter had aspergers, it was like i was given special glasses thru which i could easily recognize these behaviours in others. which include my husband, his brother, and 2 of our nephews. there also appears to be shadow symptoms in his mother. regards, melody > > How many of you, when going through the diagnostic testing, or years of > suspicions, etc. have come to discover that your spouse, or yourself may > have Aspergers Syndrome also?

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 My husband has told me that he suspects that he has Aspergers now and as a child. And "he turned out just fine." My husband has been very against getting our daughter diagnosed and me on the other hand has done lots of research and read books on Aspergers'.I just suspect my 9yr old daughter is an Aspie but she hasn't been diagnosed as of yet. in NV From: O'Brien <nicole.obrien@...> Sent: Sunday, July 12, 2009 8:26:03 AMSubject: ( ) Question...
