Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Mine is definately ashma...may be complimcated by a little anemia...but I most definitely have ashma....I did the anmeia thing and this is nothing like that. Shucks, I can make tunes with the wheezing when I lie down and move around.. Tatezi Re: question Yep that's true. That's what I'm trying to discern, is it an asthma, a wheezing with the bronchial tubes closing up, or a breathlessness not where the broncial tubes are closing.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hi Tatetzi I am undetectable, last blood test was in April about 4 months after treatment ended so I still need to check in at the 6 month mark and see where I am at. They are not treating me for asthma yet since I think they are still trying to figure it out what it is but it sure sounds like asthma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Yeah, I thought you'd finished treatment. This ashma thing is pretty miserable...I just hope it goes away after treatment. Although when I go to bed at night I do keep myself amused rolling around to see what different sounds I can get out of my wheeze <g> Re: question Hi Tatetzi I am undetectable, last blood test was in April about 4 months after treatment ended so I still need to check in at the 6 month mark and see where I am at.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I think the sed rate is a crazy number anyway...My doc , when I was dx'd with autoimmune hemolytic anemia said mine was 165 and that was very high. Even said he had not seen them so high...who knows for sure....Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 " they said there sed rate was 360 " Hmmm interesting , I have heard some say their sed rate had got as high as 200+... I'm curious to know my self! HPLTA Rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Hi , All I've been able to find is that a SED rate of over 100 is considered extremely elevated.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Hi - I have a question. THere have been various sites mentioned lately showing images of parasites. I am looking for pictures of 'things' that you end up staring at after you go to the bathroom! Not microscopic stuff. But whatever you can actually see. If that has been mentioned already, I apologize. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 , My son came off Effexor. He didn't have trouble with water retention but we had gone on a low carb diet. Some people go through carbohydrate cravings in reaction to these pills and increase their intake. I don't know if this is applicable to you or not but I can tell you that carbohydrates bind to water molecules in the body and thus, cause water retention. People who go on a low carb diet usually pass that water out real quick when they cut eating so many carbs. question > I have just recently gotten off of effexor. The withrdrawal has been > horrible.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Friends, Professor Mark Heyrman does not know how to use the reply all feature, but I didn't want the rest of you to be deprived of his answer. Mark is " Mister Mental Health Law " in the MidWest. His goal is to drug the 6,000 mentally ill prisoners in the IL Prison system so that htye can get the drugs they need. Obviously, as he states he feels threatened by the events in the mental health world (hunger strikes asking the APA for some facts, FDA hearings, what's happening in England, and now Rodney Yoder winning the first round in his our home state). He is so delusional that he is just worried about me when the medical model world is falling down all around him. He doesn't see it. Folks, instead of watching reality TV tonight, please help out my friend Mark. Let's try and clue in " Mr. Clueless " . Mark Heyrman <mheyrman@...> wrote: From: " Mark Heyrman " To: Subject: RE: Question Date: Wed, 26 May 2004 14:28:49 -0500 1) Evidence 2) I would be very happy if the war in iraq ended and people in Illinois focussed on what goes on in mental hospitals. then maybe we could get some more money and improve services. Of course, it mental illness doesnt exist, who cares? 3) why do you keep threatening me? ( " the mob is coming to get me " ) what do you want? the case is over and david has fired us. now you can try to get him out using your theory that he is not mentally ill. If any court ever buys that theory, I'll send you a case of champaign and admit I'm wrong 4) I dont believe that belongs in mental hospital. I do believe that the person depicted in " A Beautiful Mind " needed to be hospitalized for many parts of his life and was lucky that he was hospitalized. Have you read the book? Seen the movie? Are you saying he wasnt mentally ill? Mark Question What would it take to convince you that mental problems are not mental diseases like cancer? Mark, You have been lied too. There is no scientific proof to support any of the DSM labels. You are an intelligent guy. I hate to see you doing the work of the devil. Stop the lies. You co-authored an article in the 5/5/04 Daily Herald in a special insert called Mental Health Matters in Your Life. Lots of people are going to read your article and be mislead. As I told you before the " smart mob " is coming. I just have to convince many people to stop watching reality TV after returning from the funerals of their children's psycho drug induced deaths. It's an uphill battle, but we will win. Aren't you glad we concentrating on the abuse in Iraq; so people won't find out what " treatment " in a mental " hospital " is really like? I don't know how you can live with yourself knowing a " Beautiful Mind " will get 2+ more years of treatment because you screwed up representing him in court. F.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 " pervasive developmental delay " is autism. HBOT does appear to work on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome which is the number one cause of non-hereditary MR. HBOT also works on a host of other " MR " situations, but the data is anecdotal. KP Stoller, MD Assistant Clinical Professor, Pediatrics UNM, School of Medicine Medical Director, Hyperbaric Medical Center of New Mexico www.hbotnm.com Hi, I have noticed that most of the medicaid for HBOT is related to Autism, CP & brain injuries. Are there any cases that have been awarded assistance from medicaid for pervasive developmental delay or mental retardation? Thank you.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 I don't think it is unusual, if one suffers from one auto-immune, it is very likely they will suffer from anothr auto-immune.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Tammie, I personally would say it's okay, but wear plastic gloves. Unfortunately, many people classify Hep C as they do Aids. That scares some folks and so they sort of 'lash out' at the person who has the disease. Talk to your supervisor or whoever is in charge and see what they think. Hep C is not as easy to get as some people think. But caution is always a good idea. Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I'm a hair stylist. I don't try to hide the fact that I have HCV. I'm sure someone could try to cause me trouble if they tried, but I really don't think the State could rescind my license. Of course, that could all change one day, but I think that for now there are no laws that keep a person with HCV from working with the public. I sometimes wonder which of my clients have HCV and don't even know it. I hope that none do, but the odds are that some do. Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Handling food is not a problem for people with hep c (there are always exceptions). It would be a matter of your blood getting on the food and the blood from the food getting into an open wound of the customer. With all the washing of hands and food, and cooking, this is a rare thing. I don't know of any documented cases of hep c passed from person to food to person, has anyone? Hep A is common to be transmitted like that. Heb B somewhat common as it is in all body fluids (mucus, tears, etc), and then you'd have to have an active case (is my understanding), not just the antibodies. It would be good to ask around though and I'd love to know the answer to the health card question. But the problem is easily fixed with gloves. So this person knows you have HCV?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 There are issues with serving food when you have hep c. I don't know the laws/rules, but what if one got a small nick and a drop of blood fell in someones food. But like I said...I don't know the rules/laws. question I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they test for HepC when you get a health card?
