Guest guest Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Aisha I had my hysterectomy in 1986 was in the hospital 3 days and went home and cleaned house. They have really made it easy to have surgery nowadays. The 3 days was normal the cleaning house was against doctors orders but it was a mess.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 > Hon have you had a check up since the operation? I dont know of anyone who has had a histo and then been sent home without being in a hospital for at least 7 days. I'm rather worried babe. .... .. whats going on? > > Love Aisha. > > Aisha, First check up after the hysterectomy will be on September 6. I think that it was explained to me that since it was a vaginal hysterectomy it is usually done outpatient but due to my myriad allergies they were going to keep me overnight. As a side note, I probably would have STARVED if I had been kept for at least 7 days due to my MYRIAD ALLERGIES. I was allergic to a BIG component of the clear liquid diet aka Jello. Then, in the morning following surgery, it took them 3-4 hours to get me a dairy/beef/pork-free breakfast. And then, I ended up with ONLY toast, jelly and orange juice. Lunch was somewhat better since it was plain salad without cheese, and (get this), I cannot remember the rest, but do know that it was plenty for me to eat and did not make me sick.

How you doing hon? > > Love A Aisha, When I said trailer, I meant mobil home. It is permanently located on a home site. It has 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, full kitchen with dining room and living room. Yes, I have hot water, gas heater and GOOD AC and gas oven/stove as well as cable. Yes, I am feeling MUCH better but still taking the chewable Amoxicillin (to avoid the gelcaps that have a gelatin coating). It is/was Strep throat.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2001 Report Share Posted March 31, 2001 My friend just found out through bone scan she has lost 20% of her bone. Doctor recommended she take Fosamax. She said she prefers to do weight lifting, exercise, supplements.... More about my friend...she weighs 225 pounds...eating problem...nervous & anxious..unresolved issues due to growing up in unsafe environment...she probably has too much animal protein in diet...she used to drink softdrinks...fortunately she stopped that. She does not like vegetables...my understanding is that when you eat more veggies you absorb calcium better...(magnesium, etc). She eats too much junk food....weakness for sweets, ice cream, etc. which she is trying very hard to get away from. Any advice on how my friend can prevent further bone loss? She is 48, and is starting menopause as well. Someone else commented about Fosamax: Fosamax- Known for strengthening the outer cortex (ring) of the bone, while letting the internal bone go bye byes.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2001 Report Share Posted March 31, 2001 My sister was told to go on FOSAMAX and she started bleeding internally---stopped and was okay again--She went on MSM GLUCOSAMINE & Chrondrotin(sp/?)This did it for her---but remember this takes longer for results--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2001 Report Share Posted March 31, 2001 Dear Elsol, Tell her to buy the Flora liquid calcium/Vitamin D/zinc/magnesium. Take it three times per day. That will reverse the de-calcification. Best of Health!

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2001 Report Share Posted March 31, 2001 Could I add that when supplementing cal/mag/D/zinc, an acid stomach will allow absorption. If that's not the case, take it with vitamin C or a lemon or it won't do her a bit of good. Subject: Re: T Dear Elsol, Tell her to buy the Flora liquid calcium/Vitamin D/zinc/magnesium.

I would suggest something that would address the underlying issues -- homeopathy or acupuncture, perhaps. Finding some health practitioner she could work closely with over a period of time and come to trust. ~^^V^^~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Hi Sandi, I often wonder if Hunter could have a touch of asthma based on some of the things I read from the kids with Pid's. It seems that asthma,allergies go hand in hand. Is Singular a prescription? Maybe I'll ask the MD. Thanks for the advice! Temme T Hello Again, The Acular helps my eyes more than any other drop I have tried. Also worth noting: Singular also helps my eyes. Have you tried it? It is usually prescribed for asthma (mine was) but it had an added benefit of helping my eyes. It can be prescribed at a dosage for kids also.

His tissue was white and swollen and sloughing off. The dentist and immunologist had no idea what it was, so we went to a pediatric dentist at MCV. He got one look at it and started taking pictures and calling other doctors in to look....they kept saying amongst themselves " it looks like systemic histiocytosis " , which I was not familiar with. They wanted to set up surgery to get a biopsy, but before we could get it scheduled, it cleared up! --------------------------------- Use Photomail to share photos without annoying attachments.
